To EDIT/RE-ARRANGE the order of the results for your own purposes, you can manually move the columns in the DOWNLOADED spreadsheet
BUT IF you plan to re-use re-arranged column order in the future, you will save time IF you EDIT the Query in your own MyFolder. The order of the columns in the EDIT view is the order of the columns in the DOWNLOADED results spreadsheet. Disregard the order of the columns in the displayed on-line results.

IF you wish to DOWNLOAD the results to your computer, See and Select “Export” ” hotlink at the Bottom Left of the page and select in the dropdown menu, “Data” and “CSCV Format”
Recommendation: Save the downloaded file as ExCel format. Insert the Download date into the filename or into the name on the first work-page of the DOWNLOADED file; save any edits into additional work-page(s).

IEEE members who are not located in your Section or in your Council territory or who do not have the appropriate “Contiguous Section” status will not display in your results. This condition is common among students who show up in vTools but not in SAMIEEE queries.

11. SFBAC 2016 Officers Training SAMIEEE
IEEE members who, over time, have reported more than 1 employer in their MyIEEE account, may have more than 1 line of data in a SAMIEEE query. You can eliminate otherwise duplicate entries for all members in the query by noting, in the downloaded spreadsheet, in the “Data” tab, “Remove Duplicates” ; I use the Member Number column to be filtered. This duplicate removal cannot be effected in the original query. Don’t use this process if you have multiple positions for one or more members.

12. SFBAC 2016 Officers Training SAMIEEE
IEEE members who have used ALL CAPITAL letters for the firstname, lastname, fullname will appear at the TOP of the list in the downloaded .CSV file.
IF you sort the entire file by lastname, firstname, the sorting process will ignore the CAPS and place the names in the appropriate alphabetical order. Save the re-ordered file as .xls or .xlsx , remembering to insert the Download date in the file name or on one of the workpage tabs.
