Got a response. She's alive. Dealing with family health stuff. Will return when she's in the mood to read & be social again.
No freak..."
That's good to hear, I'm glad she's okay. Thanks for the update.

Good to hear! I have been fearing the worst.
Thanks for checking in with her, Iain <3 We'll wait patiently for her return. Hugs to you, Virginie, whenever you see this. Take all the time you need <3


Hope you'll come back soon, Virginie!
Hey Rob... you and Julia's monthly formulas only work if you hardcode the results at the end of each month. You copied from Virginie's sheet, and she got rid of the automated formulas so she could control her monthlies better, since she was reading anthologies of short stories every day.
You probably need to copy a ton of formulas to fix it, from somebody else's sheet... but I dunno who has a matching sheet you can use, since you need someone with identical columns & month data in the same hidden column.
Your numbers are low enough you could probably just hard-code... but I'd hate to have to try and go back and figure out Julia's numbers from 3 weeks ago, manually...

Welcome back, Virginie :) and no need to be sorry at all - we just missed you <3

Also - I need to check this thread more frequently (you all advanced it so much I'd have to reverse engineer it to be of assistance again). -
Iain - the overall totals are still correct on my and Julia's page?

The top row stuff getting funneled to the team totals is fine... it's the collapsable monthly stuff... everything is just funneling into January, still... so your graphs and monthly stats don't work... not sure if you care...

I left most of it to Virginie until she went MIA... then I needed to step up with requests... and nearly broke the whole thing when errors with the Form entries arose...
You weren't even around when we turned the Buddy Read requests into a new spreadsheet, really...

Not really. Julia doesn't even look at her sheet. To keep it not homework-like I just have her stack books on my desk next to my computer when she's done. :)
The biggest thing I care about is pages/day as a goal setting tool.

WELCOME BACK!!!
WELCOME BACK!!!


EDIT: Fixed. Simply copied the cells from a line that worked :)
There was a missing reference in the points formulas, which is usually due to a line being deleted.

I also commented this a while back, maybe you could take a look at it for me?
Quick question: is it possible to add a rereads/new books tracker, next to the other two trackers i have on my sheet?
And I'd love if e-books could also be added to the audiobook/physical book tracker.
Since i have no idea how to use sheets except type in book info, could someone have a look at it? Thanks in advance :)

Or is it my dang internetz???
how long of a problem?
There's always been a bit of a delay... generally until someone fiddles with a cell and triggers another calculation of the whole sheet... it's why the rankings end up as #NA so often on personal sheets...
EDIT: looks accurate now, so I think it's just the slowness... if you want to see an update, just fiddle with some non-essential cells off and on, and you can force a calculation... I do it all the time, but I'm mostly interested in the monthly stats on my own page, so I dunno how well it works on connected pages...

Must’ve fixed itself after 2 hrs. Thanks!

As fun/funny as I thought it was to tease a cheesy PNR sequel at the end, I leave that to you (and Anni) to write, if it really becomes a thing :D

Haha, yeah, we added a few quotes (Hailee, Kathrine talking about the how to train your dragon movie and Diana, Soo, Iain, and a few others from this thread 😂)

That is adorable and very sweet!!! Love the story, may have been able to pick out some of you!
There was a bug in your sheet starting around that row, where the total was adding your Page Points and the hidden month number column instead of the bonus points... I fixed the formula with a quick dragdown to row 224 just to be safe...
The month number was also missing from row 79, so you might not have been getting those points correctly, before, unless someone did a workaround...

I'm only on my phone, so I'm not sure everything is back to normal, but there was something wrong with your page point formula, should be fixed now :)
What seems to be the problem?... everything seems to be in order, on first glance... formulas working, points working, hidden monthly column working... unless someone fixed it already, I assume it was just delayed...
EDIT: I see Anni fixed it... was the formula adding the book points with the month number?... Manju had that problem... we might need to doublecheck all the sheets around row 75-100, if so... some people might have had the problem and not even know....

No freak car accident. (That's what came to my mind with the sudden disappearance)
