Well, a simple example, this is the ninth month,

I have some summaries that display monthly totals,
It would be nice if I could simply print columns
1-n if this is the nth month of the year and the total
for the year...

No, not really. What kind of world do you live in where the position

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddres sHere" to ma*******@postg resql.org)

Question: How to select columns from Excel-generated XML when some cells are empty. I've found examples where rows are to be selected, but I can't seem to extrapolate from that to selecting columns when some cells are empty. Is there a way to use the ss:Index to account for the missing <Cell elements? Thank you for any suggestions. ====================

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
