Happened before christmas and I thought I'd strawberry floated up by overwriting it but I've just created the same again, definitely saved it, and it's back to this one shitty sheet.

You're not saving it in CSV format, are you?

I am...

Does csv only run one sheet?

Edit: strawberry floating hell that does seem to be the case :fp: thanks for mentioning that as that's clearly the issue. Uggggghhhh

Can you just save it in 'Excel Workbook' format or is there another reason it needs to be CSV?

I can save it as an xlsx. Redoing it now; at least I'm confident it will save properly this time.

Excel's not my main tool but even still, can't believe I've worked in office roles for about a decade and never realised csv is a single sheet file format :fp: :lol:

I use CSV all the time as people always send me stupid shitty spreadsheets with stupid shitty things in it that make it harder to use/manipulate. I use CSV to essentially clean the data, then convert back to xlsx when I want to do more with it.

God, my memoirs are going to be dull.

Yeah csv is essentially an endless steam of data literally separated by commas and some heading definitions and that's it. It has no support for multiple pages or worksheets.

I'm that guy that opens every spreadsheet in Google sheets and then saves it as a pdf just to strawberry float with you. But that gooseberry fool's strawberry floating perfect, so strawberry float off.

Needless to say I do not work in analytics (anymore), this is some payroll stuff I have to do with the local council's intermediatary for my PA.

The chapter has to be called Excelling at Life. How could it anything else with such an in-depth discussion?

I genuinely just did the Peep Show joke in my head without realising.

Congrats though.
