Thank you for all your help making me better at Excel!
Chandoo, you have an excellent blog. Along with being fun to read, it has vastly improved the quality of my work and has made many annoying tasks so much easier! I often wish there were versions of your blog for some of the other software I have to use 🙂
Best wishes for a happy new year!
@nilho, here it is Chandoo's formula in Spanish:
=NOMPROPIO(SUSTITUIR(SUSTITUIR(DIRECCION(1;2^4*(2^5+1))&
DIRECCION(1;HEX.A.DEC("41b"))&" "&DIRECCION(1;5*7*19)&
DIRECCION(1;BIN.A.DEC(10101));"$";"");"1";""))
@Chandoo, you helped me to share with everyone what bit of I know about Excel.
Happy New Year to you and to all of your readers.
I'm trying last formula again because a quotes problem:
=NOMPROPIO(SUSTITUIR(SUSTITUIR(DIRECCION(1;2^4*(2^5+1))&DIRECCION(1;HEX.A.DEC("41b"))&" "&DIRECCION(1;5*7*19)&
DIRECCION(1;BIN.A.DEC(10101));"$";"");"1";""))
hai chandoo ,
u must definitely thank MSN as they posted a story about you and it became quite a notable article in the MSN website
Thank you everyone for such beautiful comments and wishes. 🙂
@Sasi.. you are right. My bad for the omission. Added MSN to list now.
@All who could not get the formula work: Just remove any line-breaks from the formula (ie make it in to one big line) before pressing enter. Also, accept any corrections excel may suggest.
PS: The formula works in English versions of Excel only.
@Chandoo, you can see your formula translated into Spanish Excel version in my previous comment.
I know you have many Spanish-speaking followers of your blog and I am one of them.
Obviously, the result is in English.
