Three things..

(1)

I am reading “Dilbert Principle” by Scott Adams. Simply put, awesome book. All the idiocies in work life of 90% of the population are explained with the help of the simple theory that “people are idiots”. Most of the time i was thinking about my earlier work place and laughing out loud. Add to that the dilbert strips thrown in the book are too good.

(2)

I have seen or rather finished watching “Finding Nemo” yesterday night. Great movie it is. The story of small clown fish called Nemo. The good thing about animation movies is that they give you true entertainment by taking you to a different world. We see movies in which companies fight, nations fight and even individuals fight. This is pretty much here outside the movie theatre also. No point wasting time on that :P. Some of the suggestions to bring reality back to your life,

– Ice Age

– Toy Story

– Antz

– Finding Nemo

– Tom & Jerry

Today I have debate on “Outsourcing – the source of urban illetarate”. I am to speak against the topic. Gathering info on it. Hope it goes peacefully 😀

Chalo den, time for another maharaja dose of macro-economics.

  1. Ciao Hui,
    Collecting Excel tricks under the title “Notable Excel Websites (Non-MVP) Edition” is a brilliant idea…
    Thank you in the name of all The FrankensTeam.
    On our site there is a box with a picture and text highlighting:

    This is a no-MVP site
    we think ourselves “bad boys” a bit 🙂
    For those who would like to know why our site is a no-MVP site, enough to click on the link:

  2. I really enjoyed this (newsletter). I must admit that I rarely read an Excel newsletter (and I subscribe to quite a few) all the way though, but this grabbed my attention and before I realized it, I was engrossed in it. I must also admit that most of this I don’t understand, yet. But, it excites me when I do learn something new in Excel. I can’t wait to see how much of this I can implement into my (constantly-evolving) ‘House Budget’ & ‘Family Medical’ worksheets that I have developed over the past few years! I sure hope to see more of these type of newsletters in the future! Thanks!

  3. Hui, This post is Superb! More over I have always been a fan of Roberto’s work and have learnt a lot from him.

    Here are some of my recent contributions

  4. I like the Excel Ninja Menus.
    1. Select a cell or range then move till the 4-way cross appears. Right-Click and drag the selection to another place in the worksheet then, like a ninja, a menu full of skills and throwing stars pops up allowing me to do all kinds of awesomeness.
    2. When you click the fill box on a Date and right click and drag it down, a lot of amazing Date options pop up.
    I also brand my Excel to remind myself that I’m awesome. In my personal macro workbook I place the following code.
    Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Application.Caption = “SuperKrishna’s Awesomeness”
    End Sub

  5. My favorite tip goes along with #17. If you try to copy subtotaled data (and in earlier Excel versions filtered data),when you paste it all the data displays instead of just the summarized data.
    To get around this, select your summarized data, click on Find and Select tab and then select Go to Special. Click Visible cells Only and click OK. Now paste and you will see that only the summarized data has been copied.
    You can also go CTRL+G and then click the Special icon at the bottom of the dialog box.
