How to trace formula dependents in Excel

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Fri, 2 Oct 2009 09:32:00 -0700

Tracing Excel formula errors is tedious, if not guided by the built-in formula auditing tools. The formula bar itself is a good starting place to debug formula errors but when the formula gets longer and more complicated, a visual guide to trace the dependents is a great help.

You can use the Trace Precedents button on the Formula Auditing toolbar to trace all the generations of cells that contribute to the formula in the selected cell (something like tracing all the ancestors in your family tree). Many times, finding the original source of the formula leads you right to the source of all the error values in your spreadsheet.

To activate the tool, click Formulas on the ribbon and then Trace Precedents under the Formula Auditing panel:

In the Fibonacci sequence below, you would see the blue arrows showing the precedents of the result of the formula:

Another example is shown below where the B1 cell is a result of summing A1 and A2:

Now to see the dependents of a value, click a cell that you want to audit then click the Trace Dependents value. If the cell is used by other cells in formula, the arrows will point the to cells that depend on the cell.

To clear the arrows, click the Remove Arrows button and you should see the arrows disappear.

Use the Formula Auditing tools to trace dependents and precedents of your Excel formulas. They are very handy when the cell formulas get very complicated. As of Office 2007, the arrows don’t get automatically refreshed when you change the formula (they get cleared out) so you will need to click the trace buttons again to generate the arrows.

5 Differences Between Used And Refurbished

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Fri, 2 Oct 2009 09:27:00 -0700

I make it a practice to purposely seek out refurbished tech items because I save a ton of money doing so, and the majority of the time the whatever-it-is I buy works just as well as a new item.

There are some people who believe refurbished and used mean the same thing. This is incorrect; there are several differences.

Difference 1: Warranty

All refurbished items come with a warranty. Some used items come with one but most don’t.

Difference 2: Physical condition

Refurbished items are supposed to look exactly like a new item and do most of the time. This usually involves the replacement of things, such as the chassis, faceplates, buttons/knobs, and so on. A used item has had nothing changed on it. It is the same as when it was new, worn and all.

Difference 3: Vendor

It is rare that an OEM will sell anything used. The closest match to this is "off-lease," meaning a corporate customer leased a ton of the whatever-it-is from the OEM, sent them back when the lease expired and then the OEM resells the items. But even this is a rare instance these days because if the items are too old (and therefore cannot be supported directly,) the OEM won’t bother reselling them and instead find other means of liquidating that inventory.

Third-party vendors will sell used items, do so routinely and at times label these items as refurbished when in fact they’re not.

The general rule of thumb is that if you purchase a refurb item direct from an OEM or a large third-party vendor (like NewEgg or TigerDirect,) it is truly refurbished. With smaller vendors you get used. This is especially true if a vendor is selling something labeled as refurbished but there is no warranty and/or is stated to be sold as-is.

Difference 4: Age of item

As noted in #3 above, if there is something in the inventory that is simply too old for an OEM to support, they will find a way to liquidate the inventory otherwise.

If a particular item is still available from the OEM as new, you will find legitimate refurbished versions of it, warranty and all.

If on the other hand the item is discontinued and isn’t available as new any longer, what you will usually find are used versions of that item with no warranty.

The easiest way to check if something is discontinued or not is to go to the OEM’s web site. If you see the item still sold as new, it’s obviously not discontinued. But if it’s not there, it is. Some OEMs are nice enough to tell you this information up front and give you a complete list of what’s discontinued (like Garmin for example.) Others however don’t do this, so you’ll have to go look item-by-item and see for yourself.

Special note on this: There is a period of time right after an item is discontinued where it "rides the fence" for a few months and can still be supported by the OEM, but after that it goes into used-only territory. This all depends on how the OEM handles discontinued product support for newly discontinued items.

Difference 5: Support

This directly relates to #3 and #4 above. Current-model items from the OEM are supported and therefore are available as refurbs. These refurb items have support, so if there’s any issue with it you can call the OEM for help.

Used items have third-party-only support or no support at all. Once you buy it, you’re on your own.

Are refurb items better now compared to before?

Yes. When refurbished items first appeared years ago they were admittedly pretty crappy. This soured a lot of people on the idea of buying anything other than new.

Today the OEMs understand that there is legitimate profit to be made by selling refurbished items. As such, refurb now is a whole lot better compared to yesteryear. These items are good enough to where you get the exact same warranty as you would new. This shows confidence in the refurbished product by the OEM and proves that yes, it will work.

I do recommend people to go refurb instead of new. If the refurbished item has all the features you want, comes with everything the same new product would and is supported by the OEM (which it is,) you can buy with confidence.

Obviously you should exercise common sense when shopping refurbished, because some items are still better new than refurb or "recertified" (I wouldn’t buy a recertified hard drive,) but most of the time the refurb items you buy will serve you just as well as new would.

Free photo editing software – Photoscape

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Thu, 1 Oct 2009 10:16:00 -0700

We have shown you a couple of cool free photo editing tools like Irfanview and Google Picasa. Let me show you another freeware that could become part of your essential photo editing toolbox. The freeware is called PhotoScape from www.photoscape.org.

Like Irfanview and Picasa, this software packs a lot of functionality: picture viewer, editor, animated gif creator, color picker, raw format converter, picture frame maker and others. The first thing a user will see on the GUI is an arranged shortcut to these functions.

The tool covers the basics of a photo editing app like the capability to zoom in/out, rotate, crop, level, contrast, midtone adjustments and others. It has auto level and auto contrast capabilities – something similar to Microsoft Office’s auto-enhance image feature.

You can also add decorative frames built-in from the tool:

The tool also makes collage frames easy to create. You can choose from a lot of frame designs and then just drag and drop pictures to each section of the frame.

Arranging pictures for printing to a single photo paper is also easy.

This tool offers a lot of goodies. For users who want to combine pictures into frames – this might be the best freeware for them.

Windows 7 Logo Program To Go Much Better Than Vista Did

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Thu, 1 Oct 2009 10:03:00 -0700

Many unfortunately remember the infamous "Vista Capable" logo disaster. A whole bunch of new computers at the time Windows Vista was launched had a little logo that was supposed to indicate yes, they were capable of running Vista. But as we all found out, many of those new computers were barely "capable." Instead computer owners were treated to a less-than-pleasant computing experience – putting it very nicely.

One of the best things Microsoft ever did was release Windows 7 RC to the general public for testing. A ton of people, including myself, use this OS. I use it as my primary right now. This allowed everybody on both sides (corporate and consumer) to do the best live field testing of Windows since the product came into existence; this has served everybody very well.

Microsoft will be using a logo program again for Windows 7, so you will see those little stickers on new computers if you haven’t already. This time around the requirements to get the sticker are far more stringent compared to the Vista logo debacle.

The logo means the product must work with both 32 and 64-bit editions. This is particularly important for peripheral devices, because it means the driver disc included will have 32 and 64-bit versions included. It also means more rigorous testing has been performed to ensure that yes, it will work.

Part of this program includes "Ready. Set. 7." You can check out right now what developers are building 7-compatible items at www.readyset7.com. The list is extensive, and that’s great because it means that many of the products on store shelves will be compatible right out of the box.

In the end however, what has mattered most concerning 7’s readiness has been end-user testing from Win 7 RC use. I use 7 RC, and this OS proved its worth beyond any doubt by running nearly flawlessly on my Dell Inspiron Mini 10v netbook, which houses only a single core 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, shared video memory and a 160GB 5400rpm HDD.

As far as I’m concerned, if Win 7 can run on this smoothly (which it does,) it can run on just about any computer made in the last 5 years without the need to upgrade.

The logo program is good and is being far better managed, granted, but it’s been the users of this OS that have had the most influence on people. If I thought Win 7 sucked, I would say so without hesitation. If other people thought it sucked, they would say so as well. We’ve all been nothing but honest in our reviews of this OS. And it’s the general consensus that Win 7 doesn’t suck. Not in the slightest. In fact, we all really like it. That’s why we dare to run an RC as our primary operating system. Ordinarily that’s considered computer suicide, but the blunt honest truth is that 7 really is that good.

Free Anti-Virus From Microsoft Is Now Available

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Thu, 1 Oct 2009 10:03:00 -0700

You may have seen in tech news articles in the past that Microsoft was working on it’s own release of an anti-virus product to compliment Windows Defender. A couple of days ago their solution, Security Essentials, was released (from beta).

Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a free* download from Microsoft that is simple to install, easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest technology. It’s easy to tell if your PC is secure — when you’re green, you’re good. It’s that simple.

Microsoft Security Essentials runs quietly and efficiently in the background so that you are free to use your Windows-based PC the way you want—without interruptions or long computer wait times.

If you google Security Essentials, you will see it gets a mixed bag of reviews. Although the sites I tend to frequent have given it more positive evalutations.

Download files faster using Download Accelerator Plus

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:22:00 -0700

Is your download speed as fast as it should be? If you recall the days of the “speed demon” 56k dial-up modem, waiting on something as simple as a small digital picture file seemed to take eons. This is when you would get up from your computer and wander off to perform various other tasks to pass the time.

Now that more people have higher speed connections (Cable, DSL, Fiber), as of late, one would imagine that downloading a trial copy of Halo would be fast and steady. Well, not always. Instead of the person carefully watching their connectivity status while running their download, it is the group distributing the software, that is monitoring their bandwidth use.

Consider the possibility that greater bandwidth for the end user can mean greater amounts of requests for a target website. The chances that your download can be slowed down, or broken, increase. With larger websites, like Download.com, they take step to build infrastructure around maintaining the bandwidth necessary to support many thousands of active connections. However, for less frequented, or newer download or file sharing sites, the same environment may not be available.

To help you get the most out of your down stream speed on your Internet connection, tools like Download Accelerator Plus (found here) are available to boost your file grabbing speed and download connection quality. Download Accelerator Plus (also known as DAP) does more than simply make downloading files faster though. It also allows you to effectively pause a download and restart one, should a link set become broken.

Historically, this tool was an add-on for Internet Explorer, and now it has evolved into a suite of products. Included in Download Accelerator Plus is an FTP connection tool, a download dashboard, and a web browser. A simple tabbed interface allows the user to bounce between the three views.

The main draw behind this tool is the multiple download threads it utilizes when downloading a file. It does not simply get the download information from one site, and begin transferring the file. Download Accelerator Plus looks at other websites for the same file, and pulls from the as well. When you use DAP to get a file, it will display a multi-colored progress bar, showing several file connections.

When looking at Download tab, you can view the controls to Pause and Resume your downloads. You may select one or several streams for the purposes of stopping and starting the file transfers, or you may do all of them at once. One could see the practicality in this, because you could pause downloads that are taking longer then others, allowing DAP to focus on finishing certain transfers first.

When you pause an active download, a small icon pops up next to the selected transfer. This icon appears in the Status column and viewable while you are in the Download tab. The paused status remains until Resume is clicked.

For the purposes of downloading a file from a website, most people will navigate to the website, and locate the file on the site itself. This is tried and true method for finding file you wish to get at. That and the Google search engine covers most bases. However, if someone sends you a HTTP address link in an email, for instance, you can copy and paste the whole address into Download Accelerator Plus. All you have to do is click on the green Add icon in the Download tab, and a text box will appear for you to enter the website address of the download.

Please keep in mind that the version of Download Accelerator Plus reviewed here was the Free Version. There is a paid version of this software, and depending on what you click on within DAP, it will remind you frequently of this fact. The premium version does offer some nice privacy tools to help clean up Internet tracks with respect to downloaded files.

Is Download Accelerator Plus right for you? That is a determination that you will have to make for yourself. If you have a 265k DSL type connection, adding a tool like DAP will boost your file download time; whereas if you have a fiber connection of 20mb and upwards, DAP may not have the impact you want. Even if the speed is unattractive, the ability to effectively manage file downloads is reason enough to get this tool.

Broadband In The US Is Slow (And No One Is Surprised)

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:14:00 -0700

This may offer a bit of comfort to some with slower broadband connections. For US internet users, your tax dollars have now proven that the speed of broadband is 50% slower than what it’s claimed to be.

For those that would say, "Did we need to spend a bunch of tax money to figure something out everybody already knew?" In fact, yes. The problem needed to be identified in absolute fashion so plans can be made to actually do something about it. Saying something is slow and proving it as such are two different things. And now it’s proven.

A few other things have been proven as well.

First, what ISPs claim to be "fast" really doesn’t sound believable anymore due to the fact more and more US customers are saying, "I paid for ‘fast’ internet and I’m not getting it." When you download web pages, files and so on at the same speed you did with your "slow" broadband, you feel cheated. And you are being cheated. Fast should be legitimately fast, and it isn’t.

Second, internet today is no longer a luxury. For many it’s increasingly becoming a necessity. While it’s true you can go through daily life without it, it is becoming more difficult to do so and in the long run can cost you.

A simple example of this is paying bills online instead of mailing them out. The current cost of a US stamp is 44¢, and this doesn’t include the cost of envelopes. If you mail out 10 letters a month, that costs you $4.40 each time. Sending out bill payments online is completely free, and for payments that you cannot pay electronically, the bank will cover the cost of the postage and mail it for you.

This is just a single example as there are obviously many more.

The US is grossly behind the times when it comes to our broadband speed. The last time I wrote about this, the US ranked 15th in the world, with an extremely poor last-mile average download rate of 2.3mbps.

Thank the FCC for at least identifying our slow broadband as a legitimate problem. Plans to improve the network in the US will start soon in 2010. This is very late to the party concerning other countries are beating the pants off us right now in the broadband dept., but at least the problem has been identified and steps will be taken to resolve it, hopefully in short order.

The Undo Function Works In A Lot Of Places Too

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:12:00 -0700

In the past, I have written about how the copy-paste function works in a lot of places even though it may not be ‘advertised’ as a function. The same can be said about the undo function (Ctrl + Z).

For example, you can use this function:

in just about any application text box
in browser text boxes
in find and replace dialogs
lots of other places… try it

Unfortunately, many times the remembered undo level is only one deep (this is not always the case though) but this is still better than nothing.

So give the undo function (again, Ctrl + Z ) a try and it may come in handy.

Space Sniffer – Analyze hard disk space usage

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:25:00 -0700

If you fear your closets, you are not alone. Many closets contain everything from shoes, clothing, sports equipment, and hangers, to jackets, forgotten winter jackets, and more hangers. The long and short of it is, behind that door lies a potential tidal wave of things that you may have no clue as to what they are.

While a little unnerving to think about, the same can be true of your hard drive. Over a period of years, you hard drive has had files added to it, some files removed, and other files tucked away, which you may not realize are still on your computer. These file are not malicious, or anything of that nature. They are just quietly, and unnecessarily, consuming hard drive space. And just like your closets, need cleaning every so often.

Of course, you are not going to fling open your closet door, and dash in, garbage bags akimbo, and get rid of most of the items. You just need to sort out what to keep and what to get rid of. In regards to your computer’s hard drive, it is in your best interest to know what you are getting rid of before you execute the plan.

In order to examine the file structure of your hard drive, a tool such as Space Sniffer is needed. Space Sniffer (found here) scans your hard drive, and sorts the results for you to review. Now, bear in mind that the results are not in the format you may expect. Space Sniffer does not bring up a Windows Explorer type window, as some other applications do. This program shows its scan results in a block type schematic on the screen.

This first screen may not look like much, but it illustrates the top level of the diagram, the C: drive. At the C: drive level, you will see blocks of what is directly underneath the C: root directory. This would include items like Windows, Program Files, Documents and Settings, and the page file.

Should you be one that desires more detail in what they are looking at, this is easily accomplished. There are two blue boxes towards the top of the Space Sniffer program. The icon on the left reduces the amount of detail on screen, where the right icon increases the level of detail.

Granted, the icon that increases detail will only go down so many levels, before you are expected to click open the container. At some point, there would just not be enough of your screen’s real estate to properly display everything.

This is a view a few folders down. This is a section of what is under the My Documents folder. You can navigate within Space Sniffer in similar fashion to Windows Explorer. Instead of jumping through folders though, the main interface stays in place, while you dig further into a particular set of files or folders.

If you want to, you can click on the green star shaped icon in the icon bar within Space Sniffer. Doing so will show the free space available on your hard drive, in Space Sniffer. Free space is represented, color wise, by green.

Though it would seem that a simple program like this does not have the need for extra options, there are some available to you. Clicking on Edit, on the menu bar, then Configure, opens up an options window. Here you may alter the geometric and coloring effects of Space Sniffer. You can also modify the initial detail level, if the first set of results was visually too much for your tastes.

Space Sniffer may not be the only program you use for file management on your computer, but it is one that is worth looking at. It is very light on system resources and does not have to recalculate something every time you go one level deeper into your file structure.

Additionally, it is not installed on your hard drive, and can be used with a portable utility set (like programs on a USB thumb drive). If nothing else, it is fun to play around with and serve as a visual interpretation of how many files you have crammed into your My Pictures of My Documents folder.

Thanks and good luck!

When Should You Update Your Firmware?

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:18:00 -0700

Firmware, in generic terms, is "fixed software" in an electronic device. Your CD/DVD drive for example, has firmware. Your digital camera has firmware. Portable navigation devices (PND for short) has firmware. Even remote controls for televisions have firmware.

I’m the type of person that likes having the latest up-to-date firmware for whatever electronic device I use. But over the years I’ve had to train myself not to update if there isn’t any issue present with the way the device works.

Example: In one instance a few years ago I somewhat busted a CD/DVD drive I had because I updated the firmware. I found there was an update for the device, so I downloaded and applied it. After that the drive wouldn’t burn discs any longer. It would read them but not write no matter what brand of disc I used. It turned my DVD-R/W into a DVD-ROM. I tried applying a previous version of the firmware, but that didn’t work, so I had to junk it. $40 in the toilet. Lesson learned.

The only reason I bothered to update the firmware in that particular device is because it was available. Nothing was wrong with it, I didn’t need to do it, but did anyway.

Firmware updates for any electronic device serve two primary purposes. First, the update fixes a problem with the way the device works and/or second, the update adds in new features that weren’t there before.

If you spot a firmware update for whatever electronic device you use, but are not encountering any problems nor are there any features added in with the update, don’t apply it. If you do, chances are likely it will do more harm than good and in worst case scenario makes the device unusable.

As said above, I had to train myself not to apply firmware updates when I didn’t need them. I would look at the firmware version for my digital camera and it would be at 2.5a. But wait, now there’s 2.5b! My mind says, "I should really get this," but then common sense kicks in. "Hang on. There’s nothing wrong with my camera. And this update doesn’t add in anything I didn’t have before. No, I won’t do it." So I don’t.

This can be a temptation that’s tough to resist. After all, you want all your electronic stuff to have current software. Psychologically, having an old firmware version puts the message of, "I’m missing out on something" in your head. Trust me when I say that the vast majority of the time you’re not missing anything.

Whenever you see a firmware update for whatever electronic device you’re using, always read the release notes thoroughly. This documentation is always provided and is usually on the same page where the download is, or as a PDF or some other web page describing what’s in that particular version. If you see nothing in there that fixes anything or adds in features, don’t apply it, because having an update applied that breaks your stuff will ruin your day real quick. Every time it happens it’s money wasted that you have to spend all over again.

Tool To Recover Data From A Damaged CD/DVD

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:17:00 -0700

If you have a damaged CD or DVD which you need to recover data on and trying to copy data from Windows Explorer is not yielding successful results, a tool you might want to try is IsoPuzzle.

Short Description:
The goal of this program is to recover as much as possible data of damaged, bad burned or scratched CDs or DVDs.
This version supports only data CDs and DVDs with sectorsize of 2048 byte – Audio CD, VCD and SVCD are not supported.

IsoPuzzle reads the disc in the drive and creates an ISO file with any data it can recover. This resulting ISO file can either be loaded into a virtual drive or burned to a disc to copy any recovered data.

The product’s website does look dated to say the least, but the tool may be worth a try in a disaster recovery situation. Do take note of the author’s disclaimer that this program makes no guarantee that it can recover any data from a damaged disk.

Healthy Stuff You Can Nibble On At Your Computer

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:15:00 -0700

A long while ago, I ran a tip which basically said putting a candy dish near your computer is a bad idea because you will end up munching on it without thinking. So as an alternative to the candy dish, here are some ideas of some stuff you might want to have instead:

Nothing
Low Salt Nuts (cashews for me)
Raisins / Dried Fruit
Bananas
Peppermints (if you must have something sweet)

Of course, some of these may leave your hands sticky so having a moist cloth nearby might come in handy.

Did I miss something? If your computer snack isn’t listed, please share in the comments.

Save notes online for free using Evernote

noreply@blogger.com (George) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:09:00 -0700

Evernote is a free online service that lets you save notes and access them from anywhere. It offers a client software in PC and mobile devices so that you can access your notes on a wide range of supported devices.

The idea behind Evernote is simple, for users to be able to save and edit notes with images, text, clips, audio, PDF and other formats online. Since the data is saved in the Cloud, users don’t have to transfer files if they need to switch computers.

It is a good free alternative to other paid solutions like Sharepoint and online MS Office services. It’s even better than other free competitors like Postica, an online note taking and file sharing tool. The client software can also import Microsoft Notes files, so compatibility seems to be not an issue.

The PC client software is a lightweight document editor that lets users create and edit notes. It lets users login to their Evernote account and then save notes online.

The free account lets users attach JPEG, PNG, GIF, MP3 and WAV files. If you want to attach other types like DOC, AVI and PPT, you will need to upgrade to a paid premium account.

The free account lets you save up to 40MB of files per month, not bad for casual note takers, but not so good for more demanding users like me (my blog drafts alone are more than 100 MB per month!). This service is for power note takers who are always on the roll.

If you think you need a cloud computing service like this, checkout their homepage at http://www.evernote.com

Good luck!
