Well, thats exactly the type of news items I am reading / watching these days. Not that there is nothing else is happening in the world, for some obvious reasons most of the MSM have chosen to adopt the policy of selling the news instead of reporting the news.
So, even PHD decides to celebrate this new found enthusiasm to elaborate the unnecessary. To start with, the news ‘bull’etin on August 25:
– “This is HOT and BIG” commented Chandoo: In an evening full of jamboree and shopping spree Chandoo opened his mouth with surprise looking at his new clothes iron, he said, “this is HOT and BIG, I am sure it will take no more than 6 seconds to flatten my roughest chinos…”
– “7 times in one day! I am tired now” cribbed Chandoo: After a day long of nothing but exhaustion, Chandoo reported to us that “How many times should I call them? I have done it 7 times yesterday. Thats the maximum. I am tired now. Those Ai**el people are not giving me broadband connection….”
– “Sexy **tch scratched”: In the rush alleys of shoppers stop, the other day, Chandoo scratched his sexy watch against a glass. We suspect anti-national elements hand in it…
– “Table delivered!!! New born missing!!!”: After a week full of speculation and waiting finally Chandoo’s Computer table is delivered at his home today. In a different event altogether a new born child is missing somewhere in India.
– “In India the average size is 14 inches!, thats NOT big enough for me” says Chandoo: After spending weeks time of reading on MouthShut, loads of TV sites, Chandoo finally settled for nothing less than the average size of Indian TV, that is 14 inches. (source: our Bureau’s imagination). He bought a 21inch LG Flatron sometime back.
Thanks readers, I hope you enjoyed reading the PHD tabloid. Otherwise, work is keeping me busy these days. Some interesting stuff happening back home as well. Shall write a detailed post hopefully in the weekend.

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!
