Excel and Coffee

from the spreadsheets-are-a-state-of-mind dept

Hey, it's Monday and you've got to learn some new tricks to impress your boss and employees. I always find that whenever I need to put together a spreadsheet it always seems to take longer because I tend to forget the small things, hopefully these tips will prove handy for Techdirt readers too!

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Am i a purist?

    Maybe i am a purist, but if you need to read an erticle to become a better spread sheet creator then you need more help than the meager offerings this offers. God forbid you work in a job that requires advanced use of pivot tables hehe

    Thanks, very useful tech tips.

    I find the tips very useful. How about we see more useful tech tips in the future? How about a techdirt tech tip of the day?

    Not a bad idea, I wonder what Mike thinks about this (you know the Techdirt king)?

    And for Penguin, pivot tables are a pain in the butt! Ouch!

    Re: Thanks, very useful tech tips.

    Well... considering I have enough trouble keeping the poll updated once a month (I can't believe I used to do once a week), I think a "tip of the day" is next to impossible without it getting obscene pretty quickly. I think there are plenty of sites that have "tip of the day" or whatever, and I doubt we would be any good at it.

    As for that article, I thought it was pretty weak, too, but if some people liked it, then that's good. Personally, I still think one of the best investments I ever made was in one of those 10,000 page, 50 pound books on everything you can possibly do with Excel...
