I am an Idiot Woman
Not a nice thing to say to a coworker, but was he right. I had a discussion with a male collegue about the difference between and empty cell and a cell with a zero. He called me a young, inexperienced, idiot woman because I insist his workbook is wrong since he did not account for empty cells that are awaiting data. He uses, for example, =C14+C15+C16+C17)/4 to calculate average value, and...

Text in Excel
Is there ever a good reason for putting mostly all text into Excel rather than a Word table? At my level of knowledge, I certainly can't imagine what advantage there would be. However, upon request, I recently placed over 20 pages into Excel, only one column of which contained ID numbers while the other 7 columns contained paragraphs of text, which was--for me, at least--a formatting n...

How do I use conditional formatting to set text height and indent.
When creating spreadsheets in Excel, I always want a top, bottom, left & right indent on each cell (say 2px). I also want each cell to auto-size to fit the amount of text that it contains. I don't want to have to set these parameters each time I create a document. Can I use conditional formatting to create a "template" or "rule" for future use? Is there a more efficient way to to this...

Easy example would be tracking what percentage of days I work out in the new year. I have the dates set up for the year, and have columns for things I want to track success rate on, but am lost after that. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Nathan...

Many words have mulitiple uses. Best way to decipher the differences is to have ready the definitions and to see the use of the word in actual slovak sentences. So, a two field data base is grossly ins...
