The Hidden Power of Microsoft Excel

**BFTrauma** · 12-09-07, 12:14 PM

Most people that use Excel don't even use 1/3 of its capabilities. Right now at work I am teaching myself how to program in VBA (Visual Basic Applications). There are many other useful things that you can do with Excel, like conditional formatting and autofilter.

The fun part with VBA is creating a sheet that is locked down and totally self sufficient. This means the user cannot touch cells they aren't supposed to, but at the same time actions can be performed without unprotecting the worksheet through the use of button run macros.

I use Excel VBA macros on a daily basis. Automation makes the world go round!!! Another cool thing is accessing SQL databases from Excel. It makes creating custom reports a breeze.

Hey guys,

the day is lovely today in San Francisco and I'm happy that I got to this that site www.left4deadforums.com. I'm pretty sure that my posting in this category ""L4D General Discussion"" is ok. If not, please postpone it to the right place.

Back to the topic, since years I have been thinking about ways to make money. Many ways I've tried by now. Not much had really worked so far. Now I found a page which provides 5000 $ for signing. I was struggling with myself whether I should tell you about this. However, I have nothing to gain by keeping the idea a secret. So I keep my promise to talk a little bit about making money on the web. You basically have to click the banner and sign up. Then they transfer you the cash. It's amazing what the gambling branch does to get new players. The best thing is that you don't have to play to get the money. Do you like it?

Take care
