Update to the GRO Genealogy Spreadsheet
« on: Saturday 29 June 24 02:45 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I have updated my GRO Excel Spreadsheet with some new (and hopefully useful updates). The new spreadsheet has the following changes:

  • The ability to import worksheets from the old GRO spreadsheet.
  • The ability to flip the colour scheme.
  • The ability to add a tick mark into a cell or range of cells.
  • The ability to check for duplicate entries.
  • The addition of the new worksheet named "Unsure".
  • The ability to move records from "Incorrect" or "Unsure" worksheets.
  • A backup facility has been added to allow a backup to either the same workbook, or a different workbook.
  • The ability to re-apply formatting to a worksheet.
  • The ability to change the date formats on the sheets.
  • The ability to recalculate the cost column or add it if it doesn't already exist.
  • The ability to sort the data on a sheet into ascending date order.
  • The ability to change the right click menu without the need to change code.
  • The ability to disable the right click menu and re-enable it. Any changes to the menu items will be picked up when the right click menu is re-enabled.
  • The ability to change the options in the dropdown menus without code changes.
  • The right click menu has been made into a submenu and is now toward the top of the Excel right click menu.
  • The ability to choose the colours used for formatting the sheet rows.
  • The ability to change the tab colours for a worksheet.

For a full description of how to use the spreadsheet, please read to documentation which is available from https://abbydalesystems.com/Downloader.php?File=New%20GROCertificate%20User%20Guide.pdf

The spreadsheet is available from https://abbydalesystems.com/Downloader.php?File=GROCertificates.xlsm

You MUST use the Import function to import your existing worksheets into the new spreadsheet.

The data in the old spreadsheet is untouched.

Hope you enjoy the new features.
