Excel's Power BI
Submitted by Nick on 6 February, 2014 - 15:34Hi all
This is worth a watch.. it's exactly what Excel needed - a powerful BI tool.. In terms of functionality, there's nothing that cannot already be done, but I liked the ability to merge identical CSVs from a directory.

Easier way to handle your formulae: Make them look like a programming code
Submitted by Almir on 2 February, 2014 - 12:27If you don't know it already, you can write your formulae (the complex ones) in a way similar to one that programmers use to make their code more legible. It is particularly usefull when creating complex nested formulae (formula within formula), as well as the logical ones, like OR, AND and alike. Why? Well, it is very easy to get lost in long formula: Where is the beginning? What is condition? Where to put a parenthesis? Where did I make a mistake? etc.
Look at the following formula and try to figure out what it does:
=IF(DAY(AT$11)=1;INDIRECT("Volumes!"&ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN());TRUE);AVERAGE(INDIRECT("Volumes!"&ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()-(DAY(AS$11)));TRUE):INDIRECT("Volumes!"&ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN());TRUE)))

Excel "smart list": drop-down list dependent upon user's choice of another drop-down list
Submitted by Almir on 29 January, 2014 - 22:13When data entry is strictly defined, it is nice to have data validation list in place, so entries are uniform. Furthermore, a nice way to make data entry faster is to have "smart lists", or dependant lists. What does this mean?
When you choose an option from drop-down list in a column, you need only possible options listed in another column, based on the first choice. Let's look at a simple example with dogs and cats.
Example file is attached.

Timesaver Tip: Calculate only selected range of cells
Submitted by Almir on 29 January, 2014 - 21:28Sometimes, while working on large workbooks with many complex and slow formulas we set calculation to manulal instead of automatic. From time to time, one needs to calculate only a range of cells. However, pressing F9 (Calculate) calculates all cells, and that can often be time-consuming.
To calculate the selected range of cells only (and to save significant amount of time) when calculation is set to manual, select a range of cells and use a simple macro, like this:
Sub CalculateSelection()
Application.screenupdating = False ' speed up execution by preventing screen flickering
Selection.Calculate ' calculating selected cells
Application.screenupdating = True ' reverting to default settings
End Sub

Deleting Columns
Submitted by raphiduani on 15 December, 2013 - 20:03Hi,
I often have to take a whole column in an excel sheet and move its content to another place in the worksheet.
Is there a formula or any other function to activate so that after I transfer the content of the column to its new place, the empty place will be deleted?
For example, I want to take column D, which is between C and E, cut it and paste it in column G and while I do that, the space that exists now between C and E will be deleted.
Is it possible?
Thank you

Collect the correct date from 1 of 32 worksheets into 1 cell and change as it progresses through the 32 worksheets when part mov
Submitted by Michael O'Flanagan on 17 November, 2013 - 07:21Hi,
Can anybody possibly help with my problem.
I have a Workbook containing approx 32 worksheets. This is the short version due to max up load and only contains the first 11 sheets.
I apologise if I do not explain this well as I am not an expert in Excel.
The main Worksheet is 'Front_Page' which does all the reporting of the other work sheets.
The Header Titles in the Red cells in Row 6 match the titles of the worksheets starting with 'MATL'.

Below is my request:

John 2
I appreciate your help on this.
