Is there a way I can get Excel to recognize characters not used in American English? When I export my collection, my spreadsheet has difficulties with some of the words. Is there some way that I can update my excel to recognize other alphabets?
Thanks
Not what I know of. The biggest problem is the North African and Middle East coins. We've been nagging about this for months.. :P
Here is what you can do. It requires that you have a text editor that supports regular expressions (for example, Notepad++), but it will give you the correct characters instead of all those HTML &#nnn; codes.
  1. Open the spreadsheet in Excel.
  2. Select the D column
  3. Copy
  4. Now, open a text editor that supports regular expressions
  5. Paste

  6. Replace $ (end of line) with <br>. Your file should then look like this:

  7. Save the file as x.htm
  8. Open x.htm in your web browser
  9. Hit Ctrl-A to select the entire file, copy
  10. Go back to your Excel file, click on the I1 cell, paste, and save.

Voila:
HoH
Lol @ Houseofham! :O
You still haven't solved it. It still says "Sant &#299 ;m &#257 ;t" instead of either "Santimat" or "Santīmāt" :P
What are you talking about?
HoH
Maybe in your Voila image,
there are coins under Algeria in D column that still show the error?
Such as 1 Sant &#299 ;m
Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

​Exactly! The error is still not fixed.
The D column has not changed. The "fixed" descriptions are in column I. I'm sure people are more than capable of cutting and pasting from one column to another, if they no longer need the original "broken" descriptions. ^^

​Ah! I didn't even see the I column. :P

Just kidding. ^^

Very nice & easy patch for the problem! ;)
Strictly speaking, you don't even need an editor that supports regular expressions. You can append the <br>'s right in Excel using the CONCATENATE function. So, instead of steps 4-7:
  1. Go to cell I1 and enter this formula: =CONCATENATE(D1, "<br>")
  2. Hit Ctrl-End and expand that formula all the way down to the last coin
  3. Select column I, copy, paste into any text editor and save as x.htm
