Hello, I have been getting your newsletter for about a year now and I can not tell you how much I enjoy it and how much I have learned! A while back you gave a tip about if you want to tab through a form how to go from one cell to the next one that you actually enter text in. At the time I did not really have a need for that but I have the perfect use now. Could you resend that or walk me through it again? Thank you so much! -- Kathy
Hi FJH, Please continue the great work you are doing. I love reading your weekly newsletters and look forward to reading many more.-- VC
Thanks for the paste options button tip! That's been bugging me and my coworkers since we got upgraded to 2003 earlier this year, but we didn't even know what it was called in order to be able to research how to turn the "feature" off. That's probably one of the best tips ever! -- Tamara
Dear Francis- I would like you to ADD me back to your list for the EXCEL addicts newsletter (if you are still doing a weekly newsletter) I have been away from my computer for a while & now I am getting back in touch with the web world & miss getting these newsletters. They have been VERY helpful & I always enjoy learning NEW things & even brushing UP on some old tech's that I might have forgotten about. I appreciate you taking the time to do this for ALL of us out there who benefit greatly from your work & insight. Once again, PLEASE put me BACK on the LIST! It's a good as GOLD, thanks a bunch -- Marna

Thanks for the tip on Extracting Unique Items From A List from a list. I had been looking through an Excel Equations book for help on doing this on the very same morning that the tip arrived.

I've been a member for over a year now and have totally enjoyed your newsletter and found many great tips to help me in my everyday dealings with Excel. I just wanted you to know that your newsletter is greatly appreciated and to say thank you. Your tips and tricks have been more helpful to me than the monstrous Excel handbook I keep on my bookshelf. Again, thank you and keep up the good work. -- Lynne M
Hi Frank - Success!! This will save me significant frustration! Shame on me for not right clicking & checking options...I also now set blank cells to show zero as well thanks to your tip! All the best - Andy
You most definitely are the 'Excel Addict'. Thank you so much! I was told by an advanced Excel instructor that the only way to solve this was to reload Microsoft Office. I knew that there had to be a way and it was sooooo simple. Thank you! - Scott, Trinidad
I just want to say that your tips are extremely helpfull. You are concise. You make it all seem so simple -- Jason
I have often wondered how to do this but never knew how to!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! -- Christie

Hey Francis! Thanks so much for responding. I will definitely give this a try. You always make things look so very nice and "follow-on-able" for us! Have a super day! Thanks -- Shirley : )
Another great tip ... I gave up on finding a way on how to format part(s) of a cell. I have asked a lot of supposed to be self-proclaimed Excel experts and they told me it could not be done. I guess now I can tell these "experts" that it indeed could be done. Again, thanks a whole lot ... I always look forward to your tips. More power to you and regards. - Benjie, Houston TX
Hey Francis - I found your Excel tutorials, well, simply amazing. I always get a chuckle when I come across something like this. The examples you've given are just so simple, I can't believe they aren't just readily known, but I copied down at least a dozen I've never heard of before. Regards, Robin
HI Francis, Just like to say thank you for all the Excel Tips, I'm amazed how much excel knowledge I have accumulated through you're XL tips. I look forward to receiving them each week, cant seem to get enough, the only problem I have is trying find ways of using the information so I don't forget it. Thanks again Peter

don't know what I would do if I did not have you helpful tips and guides. Thanks
Dear Francis J Hayss I am getting great help from your tutorial from last 2 months,the way it is explained is so easy to understand , practice & implement in daily use. Thanks -- Pravin
Francis, Thank you for being so kind and gracious, and the multiple attempts!!! You are brilliant and I FINALLY got it. How I wish I would have found you a year ago when I had to go through this exercise the first (of a number of times). I could have saved HOURS of time. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Have a great day! -- Charlene
That one about conditional formatting to remove duplicate entries was really good value, thanks. It was great to see it work on the practice spreadsheet, and as a bonus, I had never twigged to the fact that using Tab changes the active cell without de-selecting what you have selected, while just clicking on B2 removed the selection as well. Hence the first attempts had unexpected effects. A really high-value tip, in unexpected ways. Thanks for your continuing newsletters, -- Chris (IT Support Officer)
Greetings from Virginia! Love your helpful tips! You really saved me with the "How to Format Wrongly Formatted Dates." That was driving me crazy until I stumbled on your answer in a Google search. Keep those newsletters coming. -- Thanks! Tina
Thanks Francis - You're the greatest - Your advise will save me much frustration and keystrokes -- Graham
Hi Francis Thank you very much. Looking at it now, it is so simple and I did not see it. You're making me look very clever to my staff :) That is a good thing. Your second solution is a different variation and is a second option that will be useful. Thanks -- John
TheExcelAddict: A note of gratitude for you THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My administrator and I have being going absolutely nuts for months trying to massage data from our Urchin and other web-generated statistics reports trying to get the mysterious white space out of the cells. Excel "Help" was no help, my boss was convinced we were idiots (what could be so hard about TRIM or search and replace?), and we spent way too much time pressing the delete key manually. NOW, we know. Thanks to your article: Getting Rid of Those #$@& Spaces In Imported Data THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS ON THE INTERNET. What a relief to finally understand what is going on here! -- Courtney
Dear Sir, You are simply Excellent in Excel. Too great tips Please keep it up. With Best Regards -- Vishnu

Dear Francis, Thanks for all the tips. At first I wasn't sure this was going to give me anything helpful, but I have been very wrong. Probably 1 of every 3 or 4 tips is something I didn't know about or do another way (that is less efficient). -- Russell Thomas

Okay, I've got to thank you again for the non-excel tip. This is spreading like wildfire in our company. While one person wanted to drop things into Favorites by right clicking, many others have long wished that they could drop things into a folder other than My Documents (who wants that cluttered) and have now learned that it's as simple as adding a shortcut to their folder of choice into that hidden "Send to" folder. I owe a decent part of my superstar status to your tips. Thanks again -- Victor Cleveland, Ohio
Francis, I am a big fan of your excel newsletter which helped me in becoming even moreefficient. Keep up the great job! Bye,Peter

Francis: I've been receiving your excel tips since November '05. I'm using many of your great tips and it saves me a tremendous amount of time.The reason I'm writing you now is because on August 16 you had a tip called "Getting Rid of Those #$@& Spaces In Imported Data" and I just wanted to let you know how important this tip is for me and this will save me a lot of time and aggravation. I work with excel spreadsheets all day long that come from many different vendors, and I experience almost every day different challenges. From time to time I get a sheet with those spaces that I was never able to get rid of and it caused me a lot of problems because the cat numbers never matched with my database. Just another little thing to make my life easier. All I can say to you is thank you! I really appreciate your great work. Regards, Joe
Francis, I received my first copy of your newsletter today and I think it's great! The tips are extremely helpful. I can't wait to go through all the back tips and look forward to the future issues. Thanks.-- Dave
Hi Francis, Thank you so much for your Excel Tipes, I am wondered that even in todays selfish world some one is helping others. Take care, jamuna

just wanted to say a big THANK YOU. You're tips are always useful, but normally out of the 3 there's at least 1 I already know or maybe they aren't things which I'll always want or need to use, but this week all 3 were new to me and all 3 are going to be VERY useful. So many thanks and keep up the excellent work. Dave Hammal
Hi Francis Thanks. Your first option works great. I remember seeing it in a previous newsletter but was unsure of whether I could apply it to 3,000 records. How stupid - this is Excel after all. Your tip has enabled me to do in five minutes what would normally take a few hours manually...... Yeah, so I'm blushing. Have a great weekend... from a rainy Cape Town -- John
Greetings Francis, First off we LOVE your newsletter in our office. When it comes in, I always know, because I hear "look what you can do" at least 10 times that same day. Sometimes cool, sometimes simple but very useful. Thank you for the effort. -- Victor, Ohio USA
I love Excel and am constantly amazed by what it can do. Like most people I hit my plateau and stopped learning new things, until I got turned onto your newsletter. The tips are great and it also prompts me to take the time to experiment a little. And now I am making myself the local company excel guru who knows all the little short-cuts thanks to he Excel Addict newsletter. I enjoy teaching Excel tips to others. Thank you so much. -- Gail Michaels
Francis - You are awesome! Saved my day! You were so helpful, I cannot even put it in words. ~ Erika Hollander

Thanks again for everything. -- Ricardo, Toluca México.
You're Awesome! I just found your website yesterday when I was looking for a way to delete blank rows without having to do it manually. My job consists 90% of creating and working with Excel. I just used your Mini Tutorial on deleting blank lines with the “Goto” option and IT WORKED!!!! I love it. I have spent unknown hours holding down the control key and highlighting blank rows to delete them. Now I can do it in a matter of minutes. I have signed up for your newsletter and I will tell others about your site as well. Thank you so much, Victoria Gray
Thanks for your timely and useful tips. Your last few newsletters have had tips that were exactly what we needed. Best regards, John Aller
Hi Francis, This is your French Canadian 'mate living "Down Under" in Sydney... Still enjoying your regular newsletter, and wonder where you find time to do this on top of your "day job" & soccer coaching and taking care of your kids. I enjoy your human touch in the newsletter, and I believe that is personifies the "canadian personality trait" that does not come through in other newsletters received. I enjoyed your challenge, and tough I had never needed to use it, I might use it in the future. I too am amazed by the endless amount of discoveries to be made in Excel. I just tried to press the SHIFT key while clicking on "Find" and it did the trick. Have a great summer. It is only a bit chilly in the mornings in Sydney, with max today of 18C Cheers! -- André
You are incredible! Keep the great ideas coming. Editing the comments to include
pictures is HUGE for one of my applications. Thank you! I found I could format by
Selecting and then Right Clicking on the comment box. Teach Others! -- Chuck

Good Morning Francis. I just got back into my office – was out on the road the past two
days. Thank you so much for the help. I was batting my head against a wall trying to
figure out how a SUMIF +/or SUMPRODUCT function did this. I like the concatenate twist.
This certainly will save a ton of time. Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend.
Regards, -- Patrick Shea

Thank you so very much for the awesome newsletter and your invaluable tips and tricks

Hi Francis: found your website only yesterday and I already spent over 4 hours
browsing your site and another few hours practicing some of your tips. I'm really
excited that I found your website and I look forward receiving your weekly tips. I'm a
regular Excel user and I have a great urge to learn more about Excel. I would like to
start by learning Excel formulas, I use some basic formulas on a regular basis but I

and finally learn it. I have never taken a formal lesson. Thanks -- Sean (Wash, DC)
Fabulous! Haven't provided comments previously, but the double-click on the
fill handle, along with the practice spreadsheet, were a treat for me this
week. I make use of the fill handle frequently, and this function will
certainly make more efficient use of my time. Thanks for your ingenuity and
enthusiasm in distributing your know-how. Enjoy your fall weekend! -- Sue (USA)
Hi! My english is not too good, I hope you´ll understand what I´m writing. I´m very glad to
be receiving your news about Excel and other things. They have been very usefull for me. Is
very difficult to find a person who wants to share their knowledge with others. Sometimes I
feel sorry to see people that works with Excel but doesn´t know all the goodness that the
program has. When I can help I do so, sometimes they accept the suggestions other time they
refuse it. In the meanwhile, I´ll keep on learning as much as I can with your help.

Hi, Francis - Just wanted to let you know your soccer pictures are great. Nice group.
You're doing a great job with your website - I'm learning a lot and it

great and the information is absolutely right-on. Thanks. -- Diane

GREAT Excel tip! Francis - just wanted to let you know that I thought your "open as copy"
tip was great! How true, how true that we've all inadvertently "saved" instead of "save as".
In all the time I've used Excel I'd never clicked on the drop down arrow once (guess I need
to be more curious!). I hope you're surviving the cold okay! Thanks again. -- Steve
(Seattle, USA)
Thank you; you are doing some really good work. -- Sreenath (Bangalore, India)
Hello Mr. Hayes! I have received your newsletter for sometime now and I thought it was time
to thank you for putting the newsletter together. I train employees on all of the Microsoft
applications. I especially train on Excel. It is the most used software application, outside
of our own in-house software, in my company and your tips are a great help to me. Thanks a
million! Kind Regards, -- Cheryl
Francis, Thanks for great non-excel tip and the tutorial...I've been rather frustrated
lately as I haven't been able to see multiple excel buttons in my task bar and had resorted
to using the windows dropdown window. You've helped to make my day a little bit brighter.
Thanks! -- Mark (USA)

Well Francis you did it again. I will use this tip everyday, most of my work books have at a
minimum of 10 sheets and can be a real problem. I usually hide the sheets that I don't need
in that session cuts down on flipping through the pages. -- Jim (San Diego, USA)
