If you just want to get the sequence of rows for any method or composition, you can get them by clicking on the rows icon on Complib's view page for the method or composition. You can then copy the rows and paste them into Excel. e.g. rows of Plain Bob Doubles

Depending on what your objectives are ...

At one time when playing around with doing things in Excel I used cell functions to do an indexed LookUp that returned the Transposition string for a given Place Notation (there are a fairly limited number that are used for most methods, so you can build the tables on an as needed/as time allows basis), then some even more horrendous cell functions to apply that Transposition string to the preceding row in the spreadhseet. I even used the built-in Graphing to draw basic blue lines for methods. Not that I would advocate doing this for anything 'serious' (but then I also did a handwritten Postscript blue-line generator).

Perhaps on a more useful note, I did write an Excel VBA function that draws a line through a column of cells to trace out the path of a selected bell. The line became a graphic object laid over the grid.

A bit of an aside, but I do that in a spreadsheet to help with composing. I enter calls in the appropriate place in the WBMH columns and it calculates all the coursing orders for me. I still need to inspect them but it saves all the rubbing out and recalculating when I make a change early in the composition.

Thanks everyone, plenty here to help me complete my programming.
