I've added a sweepstake sheet for anyone wanting to run one in their office. Like the Grand National one you just need to print the tickets off, get your entrants to pick their teams, enter their name and team number on the SWEEPSTAKE sheet and the rest will sort itself out. The entry cost and percentage split can be changed as desired.

There's only 3 weeks to go to the start of the Euro 2008 football championship in Austria & Switzerland. None of the home nations might have made it but there will be plenty of Premiership players past, present and future on display. To help you keep track of what's happening I've created a spreadsheet which will work out league postions from the scores you enter. Check it out at http://www.spreadsheetsdirect.com/examples.html

If any of you are after any spreadsheet books then my mate has recently gone live with his new bookshop site Prontobooks.  The link below should point you to the spreadsheet books..

I've added a Thunderball checker complete with history checker to the file. Downloadable from http://www.spreadsheetsdirect.com/examples_lotto.html

I received an email from a friend last week with some pictures of songs expressed as spreadsheet graphs. Very clever and funny too.

Opera Mundi has been withdrawn this morning and replaced by first reserve Ardaghey so if you've done your draw already you'll need to take it into account. The file has been updated to reflect this change so anyone downloading from now will be okay. http://www.spreadsheetsdirect.com/examples_sweepstake.html

The final declarations have been made and the sweepstake kit is now available for download from http://www.spreadsheetsdirect.com/examples_sweepstake.html If you need help picking a horse try www.stickapinin.co.uk

Just found that final declarations are on Thursday so the file will be available soon after that.

I've added a new page to the examples for the download of my Grand National Sweepstake Kit. The file isn't available yet as final declarations haven't been made but should be there for download on either Wednesday or Thursday. http://www.spreadsheetsdirect.com/examples_sweepstake.html

I've been working on a little project over the last couple of weeks and it's now working well enough to allow other people to use it. www.stickapinin.co.uk will help you if you're undecided on what horse to pick at Cheltenham this week. All you need to do is select the race and click the pin to get your pick. With plenty of quality horses with little between them you might be better off just sticking a pin in so why not!
