    Thanks for that, but it won't find any instance of 18264. It does mention that I might be trying to do this on a Protected Sheet, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. I was just after transferring the table contents from the link below into Excel...

    Excel help - ideally before I resort to Hulk Smash and murder...

    Right - I'm clearly being stupid here! I've found a Worldpay webpage that lists many field and format types that I'm trying to import into Excel. It imports fine, apart from a few expected formatting issues. The obvious one comes under one where it says field length of 1-50. Excel in its...

    Ace Combat 7

    Took a punt on it after having the game sat on my Steam wishlist for a while and noticed the Deluxe Edition being 67% off at £23. I've always liked the semi-serious arcadey approach to games like these - almost like the classic Sega Afterburner game with a bit of back-story tagged onto it...

    The lament of Battlefield... (a semi-serious rant/whinge)

    It was a soap-box/on-my-high-horse bicker more than anything. 😊 It just got under my skin really about how the format of the game was so enjoyable, balanced and thought out. Yet over time it has become a mess, even if you negate the arguments of paid-for boosters, battlepacks, etc - there are...

    The lament of Battlefield... (a semi-serious rant/whinge)

    What has happened? Where did it all go wrong? As an avid BF player from the original days of the BF1942 Tobruk demo, I've seen the series develop, evolve and progress over the years. The pinnacle (for me) without doubt was BF2142, where they balanced game progression with worthy upgrades...

    The Gaming Thread (General Gaming Jibba Jabba)

    Is the Origins one set in Egypt any good? I got it and the season pass cheap and having not really played any AC game before - was mainly interested in the background setting. Does look good and is a hardware punisher apparently - even for the later cards with the bells & whistles switched on.

    Console/wheel recommendations

    Does seem to be affecting the prices a fair bit! Got my G920 2nd hand for £150 and it had hardly been used. People being kept in is bumping up the demand, clearly.

    The unicorn jc5

    It could well be @incy-spider - though I couldn't honestly confirm the oil without going through the receipts. What I will say (and have said in the past) that dropping and replacing the oil in the gearbox as an occasional service item clearly does work wonders. Yes, it has never been on track...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    If you're happy to focus more on the 'racing' part of well, erm... racing - I'd definitely recommend checking out Assetto Corsa Competizione. It lacks cars with it being focused on one racing series and as a knock-on, circuits also. But what it has in there is brilliant - the audio especially...

    Sounds dead - could even be that the heads are scraping away at the disc platters as you're trying to access them. You can send drives off for professional recovery - but they are extremely expensive - the last one we used was over £1k for one corrupted hard drive. That said, there was only...

    24k Mile Charade GTTi

    I think it's worse when you know that the car was designed initially to be right-hand drive to begin with and then a UK driver potentially having to compromise in running it over here. It wouldn't bother me as much if I lived abroad, in one of those countries that drive on the wrong side of the...

    Probably worth getting one of these? We've got similar at work and it does a great job of access old hard drives that we don't know what's on them...

    Back after a while <----- long time 172 owner, using lockdown to get car back on the road!

    Depends on how much the car means to you. If it's simply a 'car', then scrapping it makes sense. If you've got any form of attachment to it, maybe look into the costs of getting it fixed?

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    The first question I'd ask would be with regards to the monitor/TV and the resolution that you'll be outputting to. What you pick here will go a lot towards your requirements for a graphics card and from that, the CPU and memory to do it justice. It's quite easy to get a cheap CPU being a...

    Fitted two more M6 bolts to my frame yesterday as I saw a small section of the base support tray move up under braking. Can't have that. :P Also went around the frame with a ratchet to nip up any loose bolts. With the frame I'm using being collapsable, over time fittings do tend to start...

    Golf's don't really do anything for me - but that Mk1 cab is gorgeous. I bet it feels special when you take it out for a drive? :cool:

    Laptop Advice - Help Required!

    Does what it should do really well though. The only stumbling block in the OP's original requirements is playing the occasional game. Macs are still way behind in native game support. Depends on how much you'll be using it too. Utilising a new MacBook Pro makes the majority of laptops feel like...

    @charltjr - you mentioned the chair first - @SharkyUK - you seem more definite in getting one. I've got just the one referral link coming through. Happy to send it through to the first person who's going to order a chair! ☺

    One of the best purchases I've made for the PC in recent times was the better chair. Made such a difference - more so with the COVID-19 stuff and working from home. Very comfy and adjustable in many ways. I'm sure they do a friends referral scheme on their chairs - you'll have to let me know if...

    After trying the majority of manufacturers over the years (haven't tried Ducky yet - though they are on my list!) - I'm currently using a Corsair K63 keyboard, which is excellent if you don't need the keypad. And a Corsair M65 Pro RGB mouse. I also like that the iCUE software also supports the...

    Game-changer - excuse the pun. Like watching TV at SD576i for years then getting 4K. Your eyes become snobby with the slightest hint of screen tearing on other monitors!
