    Excel Hole Finder

    in News & General Discussion

    Posted

    Using Excel 2013, the instructions don't match exactly.

    What I can follow got a connection and the data imported.

    After that, refresh / recalculate does nothing and there are a lot of broken links.

    Hopefully, someone with a new version can get this to work.

    Append to field

    Not really.

    If what you want to find has something common among all rows at the end, you could try to replace it with itself and the extra. For example, if all the Notes had  'abc efg', you could find ' efg' and replace it with ' efg; xyz' (but the chance of all of the notes having the same text at the end with nothing else after it, is not very good).

    You could do a Find (regular or advanced), select and copy out the data in the column you want to change, paste to Excel, make the changes, the copy paste it back into CB. Or use export / make changes / import.

    Find and Replace?

    in Tech Support

    Posted

    Oh, also, unlike the Find changes, you can't submit the changes you make with Find/Replace.

    You can do a Find then Mark the issues that you find before you use the Find and Replace to find and submit them afterwards.

    Find and Replace?

    in Tech Support

    Posted

    Menu item Edit-Find and Replace (or CTRL+H) will allow you to search and/or replace in either one of many (text?) columns, or, if you like to live dangerously (and have a backup...), you Find and/or Replace in ALL the columns at once (but you will NOT get a preview before the change (hence, the 'live dangerously)).

    This will do single items in a multi-item field (ex. any of the creator fields, Appearances, Storylines, etc.)

    WWE 1-12 12-ptych

    I am following the information correctly, for certain covers to be ordered, they must be 'unlocked' by first ordering a certain number or percentage of another cover or issue (or whatever parameter the publisher decides to 'unlock' the ability to order).

    Secret Wars Promo Cover From NYCC 2014

    in Content and Corrections

    Posted

    Covers are displayed as the comic would be held when being read. They are not rotated just they may look better that way.

    At least that used to be the process. I was going to use the 'Sins of Youth' books as an example, however, all but one has been rotated on it's side to 'look better' (Sins of Your: JLA, Jr. being the only 'correct' one).

    I wonder if HC has changed their policy or if they 'got through' the submit process.

    X-Force: Killshot Anniversary Special #1/A-1/F

    in Content and Corrections

    Posted

    I wouldn't consider them connecting covers but several sites seems to do so. As you pointed out, only D and E have any image crossover and the others that could have (A, left side of D and F) don't have any cross over.
    I would consider these more a set of similar covers (sort of like the 'Face' covers Marvel and DC did several years ago) where each issue was done in the same style (some border, main character head shot, etc) then a true '*ptych' cover.

    Detective Comics #1027/Q

    in Content and Corrections

    Posted

    Recently, cover scans that include the back cover of non-wraparound covers have been allowed (or at least not rejected) because they can supply useful information for identification (especially variant covers which are only identified there).

    This particular cover is too small to read anything so I can't say if it does have that information or not (but the UPC may be considered useful).

    I will let HC make the final decision, however.

    WildC.A.T.s are Wild

    in Content and Corrections

    Posted

    For those that don't know the 'C.A.T. in WIldC.A.T.s stands for Cover Action Team (or Teams).

    Technically, the creators should have made the title 'WildC.A.Ts.' but they didn't.

    Per the indicia and cover, 'WildC.A.Ts. (6th Series)' should be 'WildC.A.T.s' (period after 'T' but not after 's').

    I can't verify 'Absolute WildC.A.T.S. but I would be very surprised if there is actually a period after the 's'.

    For all the rest, the 's' should be lower-case. (this can be confusing since a lot of covers and most indicia use all upper-case).

     

    We Don't Kill Spiders #1/Q

    in Content and Corrections

    Posted

    First, I will say just because something looks like it might have a connecting cover doesn't mean there is one.

    However, in this case it is part of a triptych.

    If you go 'The One Stop Shop' web site here ( https://tosscomics.com/search?q=we+don't+kill+spiders&type=product&product_cat=all ) and scroll to the bottom, it looks like Ben Bishop did do a triptych set of 3 covers but they are not connecting covers. (they are not in order but are labeled correctly (2 of 3, 1 of 3, 3 of 3).
