And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

All is well that ends in pizza.

What happens if you put it all back to the way it was, with your old Hard Drive.

I exported a budget from Quicken that I'm now playing with in Excel. The issue I'm having is that Quicken for some reason lists both inflows and outflows as positive numbers. In order to make Excel do the math correctly, I need the income budget numbers to be positive and the expense numbers to be negative.

Is there a way to automate this (something equivalent to a "case change" in Word)?

Hey. New board.

Hmm. How does it differentiate between inflows and outflows? Are they in different columns, or is it just with a text field or something?

I am trying to cancel an MSN dialup subscription for my mother. I got a man on the line saying very quickly "We are updating our system, could you call back in 24 hours" and hung up. Do you think he was playing me. I have to get this cancelled!

Tried that. Same result.

Inflows are at the top in a bunch of rows, then outflows beneath them.

The Quicken export just gave me the raw numbers, so I've been manually converting the rows where I need math (budget vs actual, totals etc) into formulas.

It's not such a huge spreadsheet that I couldn't just re-enter these numbers, but if there's a way to have Excel do it in one step that would be nifty.

Yes. If you call back demand to speak with a supervisor right away.

Nevermind on the Excel thing. I can work with the numbers the way they are.

That sounds like a RAM thing Vonnie. When I've seen the beeping without posting, that's what it is more often than not.

I really hope so, Gud. Anything but a motherboard problem. I've only had this machine for 3 1/2 years and have already upgraded the power supply and the video card. I don't wanna have to switch out the rest of the stuff as well.
