I feel for you Dian - I was on an Excel level 2 course yesterday! Smug
little (very) old (very-er) me thought that she was reasonably ok with Excel
cos of using it for 6 years. In first 90 minutes I found out at least a
dozen things I could have been doing better and quicker before had I only
been aware of other methods. The rest of the day was rocket science and
absolutely brilliant! I went back to the office and *still* couldn't get a
pivot table to give me what I wanted! LOL
Now all I need to know is what the name is for that curious key on the upper
row of the keyboard, next to the 1/! key, with ¬ ` and ¦ on it ... in the
absence of a better name I'm calling it *redundantkey* cos up till now it's
been about as useful as the AltGr to me!
And for the benefit of anybody else as dumb as me in Excel, if you hold down
Ctrl then hit *redundantkey* you double all your cell widths and
simultaneously display ALL your formulae in a worksheet. It's gotta be the
coolest trick I've seen in ages ... apart from the other 78 tricks I was
shown yesterday of course!
