Creating New Cell, for real

I have been bubbling with joy and excitement for almost 5 months now.. I don’t think I can hold it any longer. So here it goes,

We are becoming parents.

We have created a new cell and now that little cell multiplying fast. We are expecting the baby in first week of October.

It is very painful for us to stay in 2 different countries during such a beautiful and wonderful period. That is why I am going back to India tomorrow, for a 2 week vacation, to spend time with Jo. Now she is here and I am here

PS: That also means fewer posts during this break (I have scheduled some).

PPS: If you have some fun ideas on excel or charting and would like to write on PHD as a guest author, drop me a mail.

    Great news!
    Will the number of cells in Excel version 2010 be enough for your ever expanding cell?

  2. Bhars says:

    Hearty Congratulations to both of you.

  3. nitin says:

    Congratulations!!

  4. Andy Cotgreave says:

    This is the formula you need for the first 6 weeks:
    =if(randbetween(1,100)>50,'scream',IF(A1='hungry','scream',if(A1='tired','sleep','poo')))

  5. Andy Cotgreave says:

    I'll try that again so that it wraps:
    Here's your new cell's formula:
    =if(randbetween(1,100)>50, 'scream', IF(A1='hungry', 'scream', if(A1='tired', 'sleep','poo')))

    PS - congratulation

    Congrats, Chandoo + Jo! Chandoo, as a father of 3 beautiful girls, I can tell you that this moment will change your life in all sorts of ways (mostly for the better!). No-one can tell you just how special it is to be a father (and I'm sure a mother too, but I've never been one!), but trust me, it's the greatest, scariest, most life-affirming thing that can happen to you, IMHO.

    Good luck!
