How to Add Elapsed Time in Excel
For literally decades I’ve been trying to figure out a way to add elapsed time in Excel, and this week, with the help of my friend Mike, we figured out how to do it. I feel like I have made fire. The problem with Excel (and all spreadsheet applications) is that by default, they treat […]

Pivot Tables Come to Apple Numbers!
On Tuesday I was delighted to hear from many Internet and real-life friends that Apple has added pivot tables to their Numbers app. It’s a well-known fact that I am wild about pivot tables. I realize, though, that this opening statement absolutely requires an immediate pause to explain first the problem to be solved, then […]

Fighting with Excel and Numbers and Elapsed Time
You all know that I’m a huge fan of Excel. Nothing is as fun as getting a pivot table to turn a giant pile of data into actionable information or creating a graph that tells a story about your data. Heck, just this week, Michael Woerner was stuck on a tricky Excel problem and came […]

I Finally Understand Databases Because of the Free Airtable App
You know I’m a huge fan of Excel and all things spreadsheets. Pivot tables, complex equations, they all make my heart go pitter-pat. But I’ve never really understood databases. I can explain what they are and why they’re not like spreadsheets, but only at a very surface level. I haven’t ever grokked them because I […]

How to Find the Cell Reference for a Searched Value in an Array in Excel
John Ormsby (aka NASANUT) sent in what he playfully called a Dumb Question: I have a spreadsheet that contains a 10 by 10 matrix of values. Each value is different. There are column headings at the top, ranging from 0 to 9 and there are row headings on the left, also ranging from 0 to […]
