MAGIC #1
An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the
Computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty
Cool...and Unbelievable. ... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this
happened!
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER
MAGIC #2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.
is it just a really weird bug? ?
MAGIC #3
Microsoft crazy facts
This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable. .. At
Microsoft

It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself...
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER

hi i have writtern the following in a comman button
sub trythis()
dim x as range
set x = range("b1:b20")
for each x in x
if x.text = "June" then
x.copy
end if
next x
end sub
I have in the range names of the month repeated randomly. June appears 6 times in the list
By executing the above code the last cell containing "June" gets into copy mode (the cell is filled with marchings ants effect). Although the loop goes through many cells containing "June" only the last cell containing "June" shows this effect, how extend this effect to all the cells containing the text "June".
When you are making a formula say
=A5 + A6+A7
when you are doing this in cell D423, it sometimes gets annoying to have to either type in A6 and A7 manually or to navigate to A6 and A7.
I know there is a key you can hold down after doing A5 that keeps you on A5 even after putting in the + sign, so that you don't have to navigate all the way back there.
I can't figure it out!
Does anyone know what this is?
Please help!!
Thanks,
Michael
Good morning,
trying to find out what to do with my spreadsheet and the formulas in it.
If you look into the file 369. I can get to the stage where it outlines the mismatch figure. In the example it is 6 Mismatches.
But I cannot seem to get the table belwo right. Everytime I try and copy past the formula, the first set of data is the one from the first line and then I get a #NUM error, due to the fact that there seems to be a number reoccurence somewhere.
I took the youtube tutorial, but even copying that formula did not work.
My table consist of 2 sets of 600 values each.
Can someone tell me why I am getting this error and help me resolve the issue that the result is an existing set of data?
THANK YOU

I am following this tutorial from youtube. It is a search function to search for a specefic word in an entire row. Here is the first part of the code:
Code:
=SEARCH(C$3,Table2[[#This Row],[DESCRIPTION]])
except i only get a value in the cell that i typed this in, instead of it searching the rest of the row like in the tutorial. i can't figure out how to fix this. anyone know what im doing wrong?
So I have this amazingly simple macro, and the speed difference between excel 2000 vs 2007 is simply amazing. On the sheet this person is using it normally takes 10 mins to run, today she ran it on Excel 2007 and it took 5 hours!!! Any help would be great here.
Code:
Do While Selection ""
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
ActiveCell.Offset(4, 0).Select
Loop
Thanks
Hello,
I am constructing a make-shift database in excel but can't seem to find a way to get magic trick #213 to work.
What I am trying to do is create a dynamic filter via 16 criteria. I would like any results that match all criteria that I specify and then displays results in a separate table to the right.
Thank you so much for your help - I would attach my spreadsheet to this message if I knew how.

Hello there.
First, and before all, I must admit that I am a kind a "dumb" for Excel, because I always were using it, only for better look's of simple tables, schedule's and similar. Although, I was all the time aware of great power's of this program, but newer tested it.
So, finally after few years of tempting, I decided to make a proper "order-list" for the shop in which I work. What I needed is to ,based on products and their prices, make a drop-down box, with list of the products, and after choosing one , proper price will be shown in next column. I find out how to do it with "Excel magic trick #5" on Youtube.
This is what i achieved:
http://i49.tinypic.com/dorzgn.jpg
However,
You see that in row 16, or line 2 in the order box ,we have #N/A below Cena (Price), Iznos PDV (amount of VAT), Cena sa PDV (Amount with VAT), and Iznos (Total amount). If we choose one of the product from drop-down box (now, as You can see none is chosen) and type number in Kolicina(Quantity) column, all this would be automatically changed into proper value.
But what if we have only one thing in order box, instead of 2 or all of 10 ? How to avoid those #N/A, and make instead to be blank cell, which is to be counted as 0, because of final calculation?
In this order-form we have only line 1 and 2 programed to have drop-down box in line Naziv robe (Name of the product). If I putted same drop-down boxes in rest 8 columns, #N/A would be shown in all programed cells bellow, like in line 2...
Kind regards from Serbia
Looking for a little help tweaking Excel Magic Trick 185. I've reached what is probably just a mental block.
I'm trying to adjust a spreadsheet for work using the processes described in Excel MagicTrick 185. (Great series, by the way...) The catch is that the source data table can not be modified under any circumstances (we've already asked).
The problem is different than EMT_185 in that there are 9 columns that can potentially define a match as opposed to just the one shown in EMT_185. There are two user options ('I-III' and 'A-C') which in combination establish the headings for the 9 possible conditions (I-A, II-A, III-A ...) .
(See the linked spreadsheet) I've been able to:
determine if a row in the source matches user provided conditions (col Y),
get the count of matched source rows (row 26),
determine the match instance (col AA), and
place the source data in the output table (col AC)
What I can't quite get my mind around is suppressing the blanks in the output (i.e.:getting match 1 on row 1, match 2 on row 2, etc.)
What am I missing? Please help. A spreadsheet showing what I have so far is located on google docs. Perhaps you could make a new EMT out of it!
BTW.. this used to be done via vba, however that is no longer an option (don't ask... It just isn't, and it's not a topic that is open to discussion -- we tried).
