    Summing the third column

    Thanks for posting your solution! Since you are starting down the slope with SumIF, there are times the SumProduct will be needed. Alternatively, a "helper" column could be created.

    External Data Refresh

    The version of the Publisher can cause this. By default Excel saves a hidden table of the link values for calculation purposes. In some scenarios the values for the external links may not be the same as what was last calculated in the formulas. It is also possible to turn off the feature to...

    Subscriber is the Excel that links to the Master to copy the data. Is Subscriber Excel located on the Workstation or on a Network drive? Is Master (what is being copied) on a Network drive? There are many reasons these Subscriber links can hiccup, try to recover but change a property...

    Sql server as backend for Access application

    Just a suggestion from someone else who has done this many times. Instead of making the total move all at once and risk being off line a day or more figuring out why... Break it up into manageable tasks with a fall-back option. 1. Split your existing Access DB into a front-end / back end...

    Led Zeppelin’s definitive song, Stairway To Heaven

    Those of us over 55 can have strong memories of this 45 year old song hit. This might explain to the generations that followed why this was a big news item. The verdict, from an eight-member jury at Los Angeles district court, came at the finale of an eight-day trial in which Jimmy Page...
