[Qgis-user] clipping problem

[Raymond Nijssen]

Hi Sandy,

Problem 1)
I'd suggest you copy the layer and use a subset filter (in the layer 
properties 'general' tab) to filter out the data you do not need. Then 
label that layer.

Problem 2)
Importing excel should be possible in 1.8 but I never tried.

Hope this helps!

Raymond
