Hello from librarian Minnowonsay from England

Hello,
I am an English librarian and I am having problems with an Excel spreadsheet so I thought I'd find some experts to help me. I guess that is a bit obvious really. I have only really had to write an Excel spreadsheet twice: once I adapted one I found online that told me how much annual leave each staff member had left. That was quite cool.

The new spreadsheet I designed counts how many of various types of books my jobshare colleague and I have catalogued each. We used to use paper for counting that sort of thing, but it makes the office messy. Excel is fun and orderly and logical, however not when your beautiful creation falls apart before your very eyes. Think maybe my jobshare colleague's approach of pen and paper in a folder sounds quite sensible. But that is why we are a good team.
