I'd like to eliminate the need for having the header copied as an image.



To be honest, I'm not entirely certain of the reason for having a Heading tab. I'd guess that it is because of the row/column alignment...or lack of creativity on the part of the creator.

Nope, no association at all

As I understand (keeping in mind that I know enough about Excel to get me into more strife ), those columns are used to assign unique, sequential numbers to assets in different areas. For example one area might have 2-3 dams, each with 2-5 cells (bays). While another area might have 5-6 dams with only 1-2 cells (bays), and so on. Each dam is assigned with an AREA, TAG, SEQ (3200-DAM-0001, 4800-DAM-0001, 4800-DAM-0002,etc.), multiple cells within a dam receive an "ALPHA" tag (4800-DAM-0001A, 4800-DAM-0001B, etc.) Hence, they are to be kept off to the side.

No it doesn't really matter. I wanted to keep the overall "look" the same, and being an Excel noob I was happy to use the "suggested" template.

Being eager to learn, I might apply some "creativity" to creating a more usable header that works for me.
