Generals specific portraits and database

Hi everybody.
Just one question. In the models excel database, how can I know what general has a specific portrait?
I thought that it was in the column BC, for example
$ldr_FRA_Lasalle3 has a portrait
NULL, not
But Dominique Larrey, has a portrait and in that column there is a NULL? So where to look at?

Portraits are in column T of the models.xls file (at least in the official 35a version).
Column BC has nothing to do with it, its the column telling if the model is a support or not (i.e. 1 or 0 data here)

It is strange, I have two database versions and they are different.
34d, downloaded some time ago, I can see that BC column has 1 or 0 as you said.
35c just downloaded, and here is what I said, BC column with NULL or something like $ldr_FRA_Lasalle3 (for example)
34d has ...P V W... columns, but I cannot see a T
35c, not T!
34d when it is opened it is showed it two parts, for better browsing I think
35c, not splitted

It may happen that some filters are enabled in the xls files. Once you reset these you should see all columns.

Oh, thanks, T was hidden.
As you can see I am not an excel format expert

Me neither. Viewing or editing the Ageod DB's is the only thing I do with Excel or Open Office Calc. I would never use it to actually calculate something.

MS should have called it expel.
Btw., in another forum I've read the following signature: "If MS Word was designed to write anything longer than a word, they would have called it Sentence or Paragraph."

I have another question
In the database, is it possible to know what french generals will appear in a particular scenario, for example the peninsular war?

Yes, you take the Excel file from the 1808-1814 campaign, and you go to the second thumbnail where all the campaign EVENTS are listed...there you'll find a section with leaders reinforcements from both sides...

Thanks, got it
Those excel files are incredibly complex, just wondering who made them

Nice double-joke in a single post, great!
