Hi Sandy,<br>
<br>
Problem 1)<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Problem 2)<br>
Importing excel should be possible in 1.8 but I never tried.<br>

<br>
Hope this helps!<br>
