Sorry, I have to postpone the usual GDP and Employment analyses and charts. I am dead in the water, because of a formatting bug in MS Office Excel 2008 for Mac.
Apparently, Microsoft did not test their new 2008 software on Excel models saved in the Excel 2004 format prior to releasing their new version. I am now blind in all those analytical models until Microsoft fixes their goof and issues a software update.
Some advice: If you use MS Excel for Mac, do not purchase or install Excel 2008 until this crippling bug is fixed.
Thanks for the heads up Steve.

Steve --
You might try opening it on a Windows machine with Excel 2007, saving it again and then opening it on the Mac. My experience has been that the Windows versions of Office products do a better job of reading prior formats than do the Mac versions.

Why not give OpenOffice a try? The Aqua port is still in beta, but it's worth a try.

Could you post the original file on your blog and let someone convert it for you?
