Last night was a perfect mumbaite night. I had a hectic day at office. Me went to meet some doctors in sion. My appetite for travel in locals died for the day after changing trains to reach that place. When i went back to my room all i wanted to do was to lie down and relax. But when hairy came back from office at 8 all of a sudden we all wanted to go out and eat at a good place.
After some negotiations 4 of us (hairy, doctor, karthik and myself) decided to go to colaba and search for a watering hole. Once we are in colaba one of us said why not in cafe mondegar. mondy’s is a very popular cafe in mumbai. it has everything that a wateringhole needs. great history, hep crowd, nice little place and amazing ambience. All of this when combined on a summer night just make you feel like having a drink and forgetting about the pending files on your desk.
So after having some beers and food (even tho i dint booze except for those 3 seconds, i for sure can vouch that you will have great fun there) we were out on the colaba roads trying to figure out what to do with the still young night.
some one said why not a dessert. so there we are, flocking the patissery called “theobroma” (means food of gods in greek). After having a round og mousse, tirasoma etc. etc. all of us felt damn heavy. the initial plan was to walk down all the way to mackichan hall. But after the gastric adventure we decided to take the BEST bus back.
But once we are on the chowpatti we wanted to sit on the beach for sometime. When we wore our chappals again its 11:40.
how to reach stuff: Both of these places are located in colaba causway. Take a cab from churchgate station to the causway and you can easily locate these places.

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!
