Hi,

I need to use some special characters that show up incorrectly in excel. For example, the "e" with a line over it, the "a" with accents.... and others.

Is there a way to use buttons or change excel to add these special characters? Try ALT-195 in excel - I think that is supposed to show a capital A with dots but it shows up as ├.

Here is a website that has some of the special characters that I would like to use

Please let me know if this is or is not possible.

Thanks

Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
I solved the problem.

The website I was using did not show the proper numbers for the characters I wanted.
