<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 552862, member: 4552"]I'm an Excel fan too. If you really look into Excel there is a lot of things you could do with that program. For one thing you could place a column in the very front of your entries and call it <b><i>want</i></b>. enter a preferred desire number in that column for any coins you <b>want</b>. In other words if you want a 1926S Mercury Dime more than anthing else, in that column you put a 1. Now if you use the <b>sort</b> feature and specify that column, poof, you get a want list in order of your preference. </p><p>I used to do this but when I go to coin shows I see so many other coins I want, could use, would like to have, shouldn't spend the money on, etc. I forget about those silly lists in my pockets. </p><p>The one thing I try to tell people is if you do use Excel, you can place your coin info on one of those flash drives and take it with you anywhere. Probably most of the people with computers have Excel. If you decide to use a different program, remember your info is only available on a computer with that program.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
