I celebrated 2007 three and half hours earlier and now I am celebrating 2008 ten and half hours later than usual. But no complaints though.
2007 has seen me through lot of personal and professional changes, I got married, moved to a house in Thiruvanmiyur, purchased a small house for my bro in Hyderabad, got a bike (manmadhudu), upgraded my comp (madhu), got addicted to excel and good food, been to some of the nicest places in this planet, made reasonable advancements in work life, lost my grand mother, got my brother married and met several new and interesting people.
But above all 2007 has been one of the happiest years of my life. I hope the flow continues in 2008, not just for me, but every one of us. I wish you all a very happy new year, lets hope each of us will find what we are looking for.

@Chandoo:
One more useful trick.......
In a column you have no. of data in rows and need to copy in the next row from the previous row, no need to go for the previous rows but entering Alt + down arrow, you will get the list of data, (in asending order), entered in the previous rows...
This is another great tip. I use this all the time to make sense of some *very* long formulas. As soon as the formula is debugged I remove the break.
Great tip Chandoo!
I use this feature often and it has even gotten the, "how did you do that" response.
Thanks!
@Ketan: Alt+down arrow is an awesome tip. I never knew it and now I am using it everyday.
@Jorge, Tony: Agree... 🙂

Hi chandoo,
I have used ctrl+enter to break the cell. But I did not get the result.
Please tell me how can i break the cell in multiple lines.
Hi, Ranveer,
Its not Ctrl+enter to break the cell, use Alt+Enter to make it happen.
hi Chandoo....
how we can use Alt+Enter in multiple rows at the same time please reply hurry i have lot of work and have no time and i m stuck in this. 🙁
Alt+J worked once 🙁
So I found another more reliable way:
=SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(13),"")
Where A2 is the cell that contains the line breaks which the code for it is CHAR(13). It will replace it with whatever inside the ""
