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 car accident. (That's what came to my mind with the sudden disappearance)

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

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments Glad to hear she's okay. As someone who also had a rough start to 2019 that kept me from reading for about a month and a half, I can attest to the fact that sometimes real life can be a drag.

Bea | 2050 comments That's good to hear, I've been worrying about a possible accident or something like that.
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

Rob (nefariasbredd) | 2418 comments Welcome back Virginie - Glad you're back and well.

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.

message 569: by Angela Jr. (new)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments Hey guys, can someone have a look at line 70 on my sheet? There's something wrong with the points formula. Thanks :)


message 570: by Virginie (last edited Mar 31, 2019 06:58AM) (new)

Virginie | 6109 comments On it :)

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.


message 571: by Angela Jr. (new)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments Thanks, virginie :) I'm always too afraid to try anything, in case i end up breaking it even more...

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 :)

jess (nu6586) | 1729 comments Hey, is anyone else having prob with their totals not updating to the Main Page?

Or is it my dang internetz???

Timelord Iain | 35626 comments Mod
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...

It was fun to write and brainstorm... I think Anni plans to link the story on here soon (probably without the images), now that you have the hardcopy...

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

Virginie | 6109 comments For the record, I laughed like a madwoman when I read the "BOW BEFORE ME, HUMANS!", and wondered if I actually wrote that somewhere.

Then I realized... Yup, I did. And it's still there. On the main page of the competition spreadsheet :D

Em Lost In Books (emlostinbooks) | 2388 comments can someone look into row 82 & 83 in my sheet? when I add date read, the total is off...


message 596: by Timelord Iain, Tech Support (new)

Timelord Iain | 35626 comments Mod
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 :)

Timelord Iain | 35626 comments Mod
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....
