  • The Life of a Lion Tamer

    I know you guys have been immensely interested in how I spend my day (here and here and here). I pivoted the data from my TaskIt worksheet for this week and here it is. I think I’ll turn that into an add-in that creates the pivot table automatically and has a couple of [...] Read More...

  • Random Numbers Repeating

    I write some data to an Access database, after which I retrieve the Autonumber that Access generates. Prior to writing the data, it sits in a class and all of the classes sit in a collection. The collection needs a unique string for each entry, so I create one until I can the [...] Read More...

Tip: John WalkenBach posted a add-in for the speech controls on his site this [...] Read More...

  • Change built-in groups in the Ribbon

    Hi all It is not possible to add to or remove controls from built-in groups in the Ribbon. For example, the Format Painter button from the Home tab’s Clipboard group cannot be removed from this group. But there is a way around this restriction. We can hide a built-in group and then duplicate it with RibbonX. And then we can [...] Read More...

  • Office Community Clips

    Have you seen the new Microsoft Office Community Clips? People upload videos that demonstrate how to perform a task. I guess people like this because it's almost like watching TV. Never mind that you actually have to click and watch in order to determine if it's useful. And, a 3-minute video contains roughly the same content [...] Read More...

  • Using an Analysis Template — Updating the data source

    The motivation for this quick and incomplete draft was Dick Kusleika’s post on distributing/communicating a PivotTable template (http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/archives/2008/05/21/pivottable-markup-language/). In the approach I’ve adopted for the past few years, the basic idea is to separate the data from the analysis and presentation. Then, a simple piece of code lets one update the data connections in [...] Read More...

  • Can You Believe

    That I started this blog four years ago. I can’t. It seems more like six and a half. Here’s some stats: That’s about 26 posts per month and about 8 comments per day. I’m no Nick Hodge, but hey. As is my wont, I’ll be having an anniversary give-away. I just like [...] Read More...

  • Limits

    I recently ran into a problem with an application I developed over a year ago. I had pre-formatted 100 rows in a template, some just formatting, some conditional formatting. “We’ll never need 100 rows”, I said. One hundred ninety-six rows later and I feel like the Patent Commissioner who said everything has [...] Read More...

  • Excel User Conference Download

    Download Presenter Notes and Sample Files If you didn’t attend, these files will be of limited value. But there they are if you want them. As I mentioned at the conference, I will be reformatting my laptop hard drive this weekend. My folder problem that I’ve been blaming on Groove, isn’t Groove’s fault (I think), [...] Read More...
