Sleeps till ski time

Far Queue has been helping me to do this as an Excel sheet, so that I don't have to count the days because Excel does it for me. And he's collected this data from the last few pages (the same as I used to do).

But when I copy and paste it into J2Ski the layout changes - it doesn't seem to like Excel much!

However, as long as everyone calculates their own number of sleeps I can still do it manually anyway, like I did last year.

So, those who can use those very clever doo-dahs, or a calendar and their fingers to work out the number of sleeps please do so. But for those that can't work it out I can use Far Queue's very clever Excel sheet.

This is what J2Ski does to an Excel sheet (but don't worry about it because I can type it in manually and make it look nicer):

Removed to clean thread. FQ

I've just noticed that Smartski has put 77 sleeps for the 6th Jan, and Excel reckons it's 78.
Smartski - are you going to miss out on a night of sleep or what?

And Far Queue - I prefer it with the actual dates as well - I find all these sleeps very confusing :shock:

This is a very useful little site

Thanks for that Snowy :D

According to that calculator I've got 84 days, 11 hours and 40 minutes until I start ski-ing at Tignes-Les-Brevieres at 9 a.m. on Sunday 13th January.

But it wouldn't let me put Tignes in, so I had to put in Geneva, which isn't really right, but it's sort of close enough.

This is the latest attempt to stop an Excel sheet from going all wobbly when I paste it up on here. Far Queue has fixed the problem with something called concatenation - to combine the required data into one column on the sheet, whilst still allowing Excel to calculate the date/number of days.

If you want to be on this list would you please say where and when you are going and how many sleeps you reckon it is (unless you are a secret agent in which case you can just give me the date!). Excel will let me know if there's a discrepancy, but perhaps some people will be missing out on a night of sleep.

Unless I get 50,000 J2skiers all posting up on here I will try and list you all.
