yep. especially on BRLs team once I decided to stop with LOB, in a lot of cases i was just entering at bats for guys. It was super fast

You can copy more than one line at a time! Just hold ctrl while you highlight.

that is not working on my computer.

yeah that doesnt work at all.

I'm surprised. If you go to your game 1 and open the box score.
Hold ctrl.
Click and hold on Ashburn's AB box.
Drag over to his LOB.
Then drag down to Joost's LOB box.
Release ctrl and the mouse
Ctrl+C to copy.
Open your spreadsheet.
Click in Ashburn's Game 1 AB box.
Ctrl+V to paste.
It fills everyone in!
I hope this works.

yeah, every time I do it it also selects the other things in the box score i dont want (avg, their name, position, etc)

are you using a laptop or a real mouse?

laptop. real mouse. don't click on their name or their row. click on the actual stat you want to start highlighting.

I am not using a real mouse, and I start in the at bat line, but control does nothing in terms of modifying the highlighted area when I try and expand the selection. I think the real mouse is probably the difference here. unplug your mouse and use the laptop pad thing and see if it still works for you

I cant get a multi line selection to do anything other than this:

of course it does! the touchpad works the same as a mouse. I think our computers are just different.

5 0 1 2 0 0 2
5 1 1 0 0 1 2
2 1 0 0 2 0 1
4 2 2 3 0 0 0
4 2 2 2 0 1 2
3 2 1 0 1 0 0
3 1 1 0 1 1 0
3 0 0 1 0 0 3

That's your line-up, game 1.

I guess so. Im just trying to figure out the difference. You suggested it for the last one, and I was all excited to make it easier, and it turned out to be a lot harder. With all the lineup changes I make anyways, it wouldn't help me all that much.

I just got my other computer and it still wont work. What Am I doing wrong! I want this to be easier!

Pretty much what chud said. I'm pretty good with the number pad data entry.

Yeah that wouldn't work for me either and I felt dumb so I did it the other way.

nor mine

What kind of voodoo devil magic is that anyway?

I couldn't get it working that way either. In the hockey tournament, I think it was southp who had an awesome way of making everything really easy where the lineup order didn't even matter, but I couldn't figure it out.

Yeah we totally need him to take over the expos in the next one just so he can make the spreadsheet better
