Sticky Notes and Memorizing formula Syntax by Teyln
I have a Post-it note stuck near my monitor to help me remember the syntax of the INDEX-MATCH combo function. It says:
=INDEX(range,^,column#)
MATCH(what,where,FALSE)
The caret ^ in the Index function is where the Match function goes.
Find How Much Experience an Employee Has by Rajinikanth
Formula to find the Employee Experience, if the date Format is text like(Wednesday, March 10, 2004) :
Suppose employee joining date is Wednesday, March 10, 2004
Todays date is : =today()
then the formula to find the Employees Experience in the company like(No.of years, Months, Days) :
=((TEXT(DATEDIF(D11,E11,”y”),”0″)&” ” &”Years”)&”,”&(TEXT(DATEDIF(D11,E11,”ym”),”0″)&” ” &”Months”)&”,”&(TEXT(DATEDIF(D11,E11,”md”),”0″)&” ” &”Days”))
PHD’s note: The formula =TEXT((NOW()-E11)&"",”yy ""years"" m ""months"" dd ""days""") also works and is probably much simpler. It is mentioned in the 100 excel tips post.
Macro reduces the blood pressure by Michael
Perhaps it’s an artifact of my profession, or perhaps it’s a bias I formed back in the Lotus days.but I have never been really comfortable with Microsoft’s apparent distrust of recursion. True, non-convergent recursion can induce a migraine, but those “circular reference” alerts are almost as annoying.
So, for quite a while, I’ve had the following bit of VBA included in my Book.xlt/Book.xltm file:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Iteration = True
End Sub
Voila! A pet peeve and annoyance resolved.
Thank you

Thanks for the update and happy to know that you and family are doing good. A 21 day lockdown has now been announced in India (I live around Kolkata) so it's uncertain times ahead. I check up on your wonderful articles often and will do so even more regularly now. Stay safe and God bless.
