Having trouble with my computer skills.
Steve Bench pages used to have an xls spreadsheet which gave the means to work out which diodes to use for diode bias.
When I click the link it downloads as a word document not what it is called in the link (.XLA)
My pathetic ineptitude in windows 7 has completely failed me to A/ get the attribute shown in the files display, and does not allow me to change the .doc to .xla or .xls
Now I don't even have excel but if I could make it what it is supposed to be, an .XLS file I could import it to Google Docs.
Anyone fancy trying to change it to an XLS and send it to me attached to an email?
Thank you?
Diode spreadsheet help please?

Thank you to Col.
He has managed to change the name and I can now open it in google docs as a spreadsheet. But sadly it opens as an image with no formulas.
I suspect it doesn't exist in it's original form on the interweb.
Unless anyone else can say different.
In past incarnations of my computers I had it downloaded as a working version. Drat!

a google search for 'xla files' reveals quite a bit...

Did you find a solution?
I've tried it Ubuntu, changed the file to .xls and opened it in LibreOffice
and it seems to work.
You can change the file type in Windows by selecting show file types,
and then changing .doc to .xls

I have hosted it on my Google Docs, as a Google Doc which makes it much more useful as open source.
Anyone can view it whether they have the link or not. But the link will save you searching.
