6 Tips to Work with Text in Microsoft Excel

1. Thinking “Outside of the Cell”

Many of the Excel users try to retyping or to manipulate data within the same cell in order to get the correct format. You have to think about the “outside of the cell” when you want to transform text in Excel. For this the excel sheet need the extra working columns to store the formulas to provide you the results that you need. so, if you have any kind of data in text form then there is no need to retype just use the following functions to recreate the data.

2. Changing Text Case

For example you have a data in A1 as shown above that has a mismatch of upper and lower case characters such as Chris Edwards then use the following formula.
In Cell B1 type = PROPER(A1) to change the initial value of the data to Caps
To change all the data to Caps then use the =UPPER(A1)
To make it same as original one then use the =LOWER(A1)

3. Removing Extra Spaces

It is very common for a data to have some space at the beginning or at the trailing, which will affect the search of the data and difficult to sort it. If you want to make shore that there is no space at the beginning or end of the data then use the TRIM function as =TRIM(A1). After applying this function the space which are given at the beginning or at the end will remove and you can easily sort the data. You can also use the TRIM function for other functions like =TRIM(PROPER(A1)).

4. Extracting Only What You Want

There is another entry problem when you want to some portion of a data entry. The below mention function will help you to find the character at the beginning, middle or at the end of the text entry. Take an example ABC2-45678-XYZ in the cell A1
Type =LEFT(A1,4) for the result “ABC2” of the first 4 characters from the left.
=RIGHT (A1,3) for the result of “XYZ” of the last 3 character from the right
To find the character in the middle portion then type =MID(A1,5,5)

5. Count the Characters in a Cell

Use the LEN function to count the length or number of character in the cell. Type =LEN(A1) it will determine the length of an entry in cell

6. Pulling Text Apart By Bringing Functions Together

In the excel there are some data which have the names addresses or other entries. So, it is no easy to find or sort it but with the help of this formula you can find it easily, e.g you have a name “John Peterson” in cell A1.
=LEFT(A1,FIND(” “,A1)-1) the result is “John” all of the characters to the left of the space
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(” “,A1)) the result is “Peterson” all of the characters after the space
All the above mentioned tips will help you to save your time form retyping text inMicrosoft Excel.

10 Networks That Existed Before the Internet as We Know It



How did we communicate before the Internet as we know it?  How did we network before My Space or Facebook?  I’m not sure so I had to go on a treasure hunt of sorts to familiarize myself with Networks of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and early 2000’s.
I do remember an aged Aunt in Washington State who was using the computer before I had my own at my fingertips.  She was big into Ancestry and Prodigy was one of her main sources for contact and information.  I admired her and wondered into whose hands all her research landed.  Wow if she only had Ancestry.com, she may have traced the family back to the Disciples!!  Who knows?
From my research I learned the first e-mail success story was sent in 1971 from one computer to another beside it. It is now 40 years later and I can receive an e-mail from South Africa in minutes.  What a wonder and proof of advancement.
In 1978 a few short years later, the Bulletin Board System which actually exchanged data or messages from one computer to another.
One of the first web’s social networking programs was introduced in 1994.  Geocities was founded with the concept that users would be able to create their own web sites categorized by “six cities”.
Then the next year 1995, The Globe.com was introduced for users to personalize their own online experiencing by publishing their own content.  Users also used the globe.com for personal interaction.
In 1997 AOL was the first to introduce instant messaging.
I’m sure I was not computer savvy in 1997, for the next network which was introduced gave the user an opportunity to create and post their own profile as well as listing friends.  Sixdegrees.com
Friendster was launched in 2002 serving as the pioneer of real world friends.  Its first three months at least 3 million users had joined Friendster.
Where these next few fit in – I’m not sure but I must mention, prodigy, CompuServe, Genie.
Much of what we see on the web today, has evolved from early technology where technicians worked at connecting the world, if no other way but by the bucket brigade – where one Internet group passed data, or messages to another, and them to another, until the information reached to many parts of the world.
It is interesting to be living in this century with all its technology.  It seems to have made the world smaller, and people closer and yet I wonder if we communicate at all?
