How to Be an Excel Detective: Finding and Highlighting Formulas
Hi everyone, I recently wrote a blog post on some simple, yet powerful, techniques for anyone who works with Excel spreadsheets, especially those with complex data. I wanted to share a summary of it with this community, as it might be helpful to others who are looking to understand and protect their work. The post covers two main things: Quickly Revealing All Formulas: A simple keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + `) or the "Show Formulas" option can instantly reveal all formulas in a worksheet. This is a great way to quickly see how a spreadsheet is structured. Permanently Highlighting Formulas: The article shows how to use the "Find & Select" > "Formulas" feature to select all cells containing formulas and then permanently highlight them with a fill color. This visual cue can help prevent accidental edits and protect your data. Watch This in Action: For a step-by-step guide on how to use these techniques, you can watch the video on my https://www.youtube.com/@BIGurus. 🔗 https://youtu.be/1x-1dbqlWXk You can also read the full article here: https://medium.com/@anandsharad/how-to-be-an-excel-detective-finding-and-highlighting-formulas-fe9d4fdbc1b1 I'd be happy to answer any questions you have or discuss other Excel tips and tricks in the comments!An unhelpful Error Message
This is for the Microsoft folks who monitor this forum. I was attempting to respond to a question a few minutes ago and got the error message that appears at the bottom of this image. Note: I had not added any HTML myself. I had copied and pasted the items in the bulleted list, so it's possible that something carried over from Google...but in either case, that message -- how should I say it? -- contains invalid tech-speak. I was able to post the reply by eliminating the bullets, but those bullets had been added by, you guessed it, the forum's own software. Does the TechCommunity's left hand know what the TechCommunity's right hand is doing?I need to learn how to use the LET function in Excel...
Hello Excellers, I am using a complex If statement to figure out if a machine is ready to receive work. I need to check if the machine is online, or broken down, or off line for some reason or another, Has a Human worker to work on the machine, and on and on... I am thinking would a LET function help in making the IF function more accurate, and less complicated? I have not worked with the LET function, and I think I would like to learn about it. Any nice resources for examples and tutorials? Thanks in Advance! GiGi!As any one found cool icons to use on a Custom Ribbon?
Hello Excellers, I just finished making a neat custom ribbon for an application, and I am wondering if anyone has found a cool and neat place to grab some icons for the button faces specially if in color. My ribbon looks nice, and most importantly it works as intended, but I am kind of thinking it could be more colorful. So far I only used the built-in stuff. Thanks for any hints. GiGi
