EXCEL "QUICK TIP" Top
Delete A Workbook Without Leaving Excel

Say you need to delete a workbook. Do you need to switch to Windows Explorer to delete it? Of course not. Didn't you know you can delete a workbook without leaving Excel?

From the File menu select Open. Browse to the folder containing the workbook to be deleted. Right-click the file, select Delete and click Yes to the confirmation message.

(Know an even better way? Let me know.)

In addition to improving ourselves professionally, we all need to balance that by also striving to improving our minds and bodies. In this section I want to share with you some of the resources that I have used and found beneficial. If you are looking for balance in your life I recommend...

"HOW TO EXCEL" MINI-TUTORIAL Top
Recover A Deleted Sheet

You probably have discovered that when you (accidentally) delete a sheet there is no Undo option to bring it back. One solution is to close your workbook without saving the changes and then reopen it in its original state.

But what if you have made substantial changes to your workbook that you don't want to lose? Here is a solution.

  1. Save your workbook with a different filename (File, Save As...)
  2. Re-open your original workbook.
  3. Copy the sheet that you need to recover from the original workbook to the new renamed workbook.
  4. Close the original workbook.
  5. Save the (renamed) workbook using the original name. You will be prompted to overwrite the original file. Click Yes.
  6. Once you have determined that your workbook is functioning properly, you can delete the redundant (renamed) workbook. (See my QUICKTIP above)

BONUS "NON-EXCEL" TIP Top
Advanced Windows Calculator

Maybe you have used Windows Calculator (Start, Programs, Accessories, Calculator). Just a basic calculating tool with limited usefulness. Or is it?

By default, the Windows Calculator opens in Standard mode, but if you click on the View menu you will see that there is also a Scientific Mode available. This gives you much more advanced functionality. Take a look for yourself.
