"Taxman" is the name of a great Beatles song and it goes with my career as a CPA. I'm also a musician (if a guitar player can claim to be a musician). I love computers, especially Macs and Tablet PCs and all things gadgets.

Numbers and Excel
My iWork and iLife came by UPS today. I haven't had much time to play but I did get it installed. First, off I loaded an Excel spreadsheet that I was creating to import a trial balance into my tax software. I had no problem loading the spreadsheet as it's pretty simple really. To import the file into the tax software, I needed to save it as Excel. Apple does things a bit differently, in that there isn't a "save as" option for excel. Instead, you find the Excel format as an option under "File" and then "Export." Having accomplished the saving in Excel format, I loaded my tax software and tried to import the Excel spreadsheet. I couldn't get the tax software to recognize the spreadsheet as Excel. I loaded the spreadsheet back into Excel and resaved it. It worked fine after that. I need to do more testing of the export to Excel. If we numbers people can't use Numbers interactively with Excel it's not going to do us much good. More on this later.
