Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

Hi Rick,

Welcome to the board. :)

In Windows Explorer (or whatever you use) select the item in question then press and hold Ctrl. Now (still holding Ctrl) right click on the item and there should be an option that says 'Open With'. Choose this option and then select what you want to open the file with.
