For all technical reasons this was my first time with a digi cam. I am mighty excited and was checking the cam every now and then. Feeling like a kid with new toy… 🙂
Some of the initial snaps I have taken with the cam along with little captions.
The first pic with the cam | Sunrise from tekri

Me after a strategic nightout | The mega cake

Ganesa blesses you | Some of us inside mess after the mega b’day party

Apparently loomba hasnt got enuf bumps | Bhayya venting out some of his grudge

Other than the new camera life has encountered several things oflate. To cut the long story short I,
– have completed the Fin exam with marginal scores. Fin may not be contributing to my CGPA positively but who cares. I had my learnings. I had my earnings. I am not complaining about the 2 questions I left. 😛
– have been to city 2 times in 2 days. Thanks largely to my stupidity. Bought a charger hoping that it will go with my digi cam only to find that the camera needs a different tech altogether. :((
– couldnt sleep last night. Was up all night making the strategic planning project presentation. 😀 Later today i have a presentaion in which i am planning to say, “Marketing strategies of <company> are based on its core competencies, vision, mission and core values which have built its long standing image of quality and service.”
– We have celebrated a mega-b’day party last night. All those unlucky a$$es with a birthday falling in the summer break were politely dragged to melting pot and thoroughly kicked on thier butts for their unplanned initial visit to mother earth. Lots of eggs, soups, cds, lassis flowed in and the dogs had a feast savoring them :D. Ofcourse, we had a mega cake compensating our unplanned workout in the midst of strategy night.
that is all for now. More updates after the 4 hours nonstop SPF.

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!
