At your Club Events do you ever have a need to have your HMS Excel results show anything other than the standard columns??

• maybe in a non-English speaking country, you need different column names
• if you are running youth/female/age-group leagues as sub-groups of the event
• you are expecting a lot of overseas visitors and it makes more sense to show Country codes than Club Names
• in your country you need to show “Association Number” but not have it named “MYA Number”

It’s not something that comes up in the normal run of things at a Club, but in HMS Excel, it’s quite easy to make such changes. In the Example above from the IOM Worlds, you will see that the Race Committee decided to show 3 character country codes where “Club/City” normally resides. They also decided to use the column which defaults to MYA Number to record Age Categories – Under 25, Open, Master, Grand Master etc.

How?

When you set up the spreadsheet ready to load the entry list, you can simply click on the pale blue coloured column headers and change/over-write the column title to anything you want …and click “save”.
