Okay will try this again...

This is in response to the Japanese fastest sellers chart posted a day or so ago. This is a list I've been working on for awhile. Note: this is US only not NA. Data from vgchartz has been scaled down to US sales. Guestimate means I used some formulae looking at the monthly NPD sales and the time of its release to arrive at those sales figures and could be off up to 20% but it's probably the best we'll have. If there were press releases/articles giving initial sales for some of these titles that I 'guestimated' on then please let me know, I want this to be as accurate as possible. Anyways I'm going to bed; you guys enjoy discussing this...

hey, looks better than the first thread. ok, so i see the problem you said that your cutting and pasting in excel. if the table is too long the end result would be be like that. try turning it into a picture then just imbeding it. if you like you could send me your file and i'll help you out.
