Dont be scared by the title of the post. It was meant to be like that. So lets get it started 🙂
LWD: Ah, the sweet sound of LWD – the Last Working Day. The first year classes are over yesterday. We had a really wonderful MHR class to close the year. The prof is really passionate about the course and has a very effective communication style. I was worried for loaded with another HR course in the beginning of the term but looking back now the course did add value to me personally. We have a couple of submissions and some endterms left. After that I will be going to Bombay for sweet summers.
360: Got the invite for Yahoo! 360 from a friend. The idea is really cool. Its a mixture of Orkut, Blogger and FlickR. Right now in beta stage and has lots of improvements to be done, but overall one can enjoy there. If you want an invite you know whom you have to send your email id.
4Ps, 5Ms, 3Cs: Done with marketing end-term exam today. Not so disastrous as I expected it to be. Infact I managed to pull off a decent performance in the test. More than the grades I personally enjoyed the course alot and am more convinced that marketing will keep me excited for rest of my life.
Other stuff: I am facing some problems with getting accommodation in Bombay. Hope I will get that before boarding the train. If you can help me in finding acco in south bombay (preferably near Breach Candy) please post a comment and i will try to get in touch with you.
One more exciting thing that will be happening is, I will be getting a digital camera [here, here] in the next couple of days. Thanks to my sweetheart, I have enough funding to buy the toy. Thanks to my friend Praveen who bought the cam when he is caming back from US recently. Will post more on this sometime after the exams are over. Right now I am little pressed for time. So expect not more than one post per day.
Tada!

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:

Thank you again!
Thanks a lot
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!
Thanks for doing this Hui! I appreciate being included.
I like Tom’s tip a lot. I posted about a tool I wrote to automate this at http://yoursumbuddy.com/tables-edit-query-dialog/
EXCELLENT !
Hui, This post is Superb! More over I have always been a fan of Roberto’s work and have learnt a lot from him.

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
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.
What a great idea, Chandoo! I’d love to be included in your next edition:) Perhaps a VBA exclusive version?
@Ryan
I will review this concept about 6 months out from the original post and be sure to keep your site in mind
Hui…
That sounds great, Hui:) I just realized I gave credit to Chandoo for the idea and I should have attributed it to you.
Sorry about that!
