Let me warn you, this is not a tag post. Now that you are relaxing let me take you through some of the most memorable things about 2005.
- The year started with a weeklong wonderful time spent with my fiancee. Its one of the best vacations we ever had.
- I got my Canon A75 Powershot. And thus born Purnography. [See part 1,2,3]
- Summers in Mumbai. One of the sexiest cities I have ever been to. All the watering holes in colaba, the chowpatti and the marine drive, the wilson’s, local trains, vada pav & cutting, kulfis and all the other eatouts, it was really fun.
- Services marketing and the amazing prof. happened. He is one person responsible for initiating a new thinking process in me.
- Leh/Ladakh. Its the best holiday ever. [Travelogue 1,2,3]
- IRIS – Undoubtedly the best management festival of the year. And I am proud to run it along with Goyal, Arya, Dewan, Parvez, Mehra, Dejo, Jiten and Sanchit. Its been a part of my life for most of the last year
- Laterals, I am really happy for some of my close friends who recieved fantastic offers from very good companies. Way to go Sudhir, Venkat, Govar and Shadab
- On the personal front, the year ended with another really good news. My girl friends parents have agreed for our marriage. Its a great relief.
- I have learned to appreciate several new things. photography, crosswords to name a few.
- Finally the blog: PHD has been a part of my life. It survived all my cribs, rants, praises, wonderings and what not. Hoping that it will reach newer heights this year as well.
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!
