Excel Tip of the day – Getting day of week from date field in a spreadsheet
I was working with dates in Excel today. The spreadsheet needed dates for the next three months. We also found that the actual day of week would also be useful.

Realizing Computer Skills That Can Be Taken For Granted

Posted By: admin on January 23, 2010 in General - Comments: 48 Comments »

As a developer, I often take for granted the basic computer skills. Even as
I write this entry I am using short cut keys for editing and moving about
the text content. I am using a text editor rather than a word processor, and
I know how to fix any formatting errors that might arise from posting.

So as a self introspective experiment I am going to try and list different
skills that I use every day to help with my experience with computers.

1. Operating System short-cut keys – window key, shift-key combinations,
function keys
2. Mouse functions – right click options and double-clicking for different
situations
3. Software specific short-cut keys – calling the search/find through
keyboard keys, maximizing and minimizing windows, moving from application to
application without the mouse

It is an interesting exercise to self-examine ones computer skills however I
would encourage everyone to try this exercise. If there is something that I
have listed that you are not familiar with. Visit us again later as I will
write articles on these skills in the future. If you have others that you
use that you would like to share please feel free to post a comment and let
us know.
