    Converting Lists in Excel

    I currently have an "employee type" column/list that contains the choices "FTE" & "Contractor" and an additional column/list that specifies the type of contractor as "long-term" or "project". I now need this all in 1 column/list. Is there a way to convert all this into 1 list without doing it...

    Breaking up Cells

    Skip - Cant you use the LEFT and RIGHT operators somehow to take the first and last name only. I realize any surnames would be taken instead of the last name but out of the 600 names very few have surnames, so I can reconcile these manually. I also have very few multi-name people. Does this...

    Breaking up Cells

    Glenn - The middle initial and surnames can be dropped to make things easier. I really only need the first and last name in 2 separate cells. Thanks, Lew

    Breaking up Cells

    How do I break up a cells that contain people's names? The cells contain FirstName LastName and I want each name in separate cells (for sorting purposes). Some of these cells also have names with a middle initial. I am totally lost so any advice will be helpful. Thank you in advance. Lew

    Upper/Lower Case in Excel

    I currently have a column of names(first and last), some are all caps, some are both caps and lower case, some have a middle initial with a period, and some don't have a middle name at all. I'd like them all to have the first letter of each name capital and the rest of the name lower case so...

    Excel: Breaking up words in a Cell

    I used to know how to do this but I havent done it in years. I have a column with peoples names and each cell looks something like this "Smith, John" (no quotations). I want it to look like "John Smith" but I'll take it if I can have the first and last name in separate cells. I just forget...

    Hiding unwanted cells in Excel

    Skip, Im sorry, I was not clear. I need to hide every row/column that I am not using. Ideally, I do not even want to know that a column exists after the "K" column and the same for rows after 51. Is there a way to hide or remove them completely. I know I have seen it done, just not sure how to...

    Hi All, I was wondering how to hide the majority of cells in excel. I currently have a spreadsheet where I only need to see up the "K" column and down to row 51. I would like to hide every other cell except this section of the spreadsheet. I know how to use the hide option, but it requires...

    PowerPoint Animation

    No I cannot. The slide has multiple hyperlinks and I must be able to see which links have been selected (the color changes after the link is clicked).

    PowerPoint Animation

    Is there a way to have a slide's animation only animate once, the first time the slide is viewed. I will be walking through a slide that requires a great deal of animation and revisiting it multiple times after. I would like the animation to appear only the first time I view the slide and no...

    For my application I would like to add validation so that when a user enters a start date, the end date will automatically calculate and generate in the "Week End" field. The week end date will always be 7 days later. The problem arises when the user enters a starting date that is at the end of...
