Because without education people could look at some changes, such as the recent "upgrade" to AnswerBag, and not realize for themselves what an absolute hash it is.

No. Unless the aim was to specifically piss off and alienate the former / experienced users I think it was a botched change -- which will be explained at length and ad nauseum and spun to appear to be something other than a total failure.

How do I send a single worksheet from a workbook as an attachment in an email>
You may not be able to. Many worksheets contain links to other worksheets and range names elsewhere in the file, and attempting to save "this worksheet" as a stand-alone file may fail. At the very least, sending that worksheet saved in that way (by itself) will mean that the user will have to deal with an "External Links" message upon opening the file you send.

I have 3 fields start date, leave date, student name. How do I filter the data to create a "snapshot" of all the students that were at the school on 01-01-07, 01-02-07 etc. Some students start on 08-01-07 so should not be counted til 01-02-07 snapshot.
I would set up autofilters on the two 'Date' fields that you have. On the first one, set the Autofilter to "Custom", and look for "Start Date <= Jan 1, 2007" (your use of 01-01-07 and 01-02-07 can be confusing, since in American usage that is Jan. 1, 07, then Jan. 2, 07.

Not in so many words. I agree that you should say "how you feel" about this, and that it makes you uncomfortable. But if you attempt to define what is and is not "inappropriate" then you come across as controlling, whether you are or not.
Any discussion that is limited to "how you feel" or "what you see" is appropriate -- and probably necessary.

Is it worth it to change some of my ways, such as working out more, to impress a girl I might or might not be interested in?
No. It's always worthwhile to change your habits, your style and your actions if they align with interests and inclinations that YOU have. But if you do things that you're not interested in to win the girl, then you'll both feel resentful if she takes you up on that basis. She'll be thinking that you're this guy who likes to work out ... and finding out that...

What are some ways to become better at Algebra or math in general? I need to bring my grade up and I can never completely understand it or remember how to do it. Plus my teacher doesn't explain the work very well.
Basically, just by doing it. Work more of the homework problems, even if they aren't assigned. Practice the techniques of cross-multiplication and factoring. Work backwards and forwards to find answers ... and then do the substitutions and prove the answers. Graph equations on graph paper and view the solutions that way. Work all of the word problems that you can, and don't use...

MEN: If ur in a relationship and still go to strip clubs just to watch, do they still come and flirt and touch you even if you dont look interested?

I think you have the sequence out of order here. If you "develop attitude" (in a colloquial sense of the term) to produce "confidence", then it's really a sort of fake confidence: a false bravado -- a show you put on to fool others (and maybe even yourself). It's not confidence that's only based on ... "attitude"? That's nothing.

What should i do? These two baboons are outside screaming at eachother - in the apartment parking lot. Knowing how these people behave, i'm afraid bullets might start flying soon! Should I call the cops or go out there and tell them to STFU?
Baboons, huh? And knowing how "these people" behave? Let me suggest that you move to a gated community full of other racists.
I'm not in favor of people screaming at each other in public, but I'm far less in favor of slanderous and generalized racism of the type that your question bespeaks.

Why does the word "patermafilias" refer to the breadwinner of a household (traditionally, a man), when the Latin word, "filia", means "daughter"?
I think you have misspelled "paterfamilias". I'm no Latin / Old English scholar, but I've never seen "patermafilias". (Additionally, Firefox flags that as a misspelled word, and not the "paterfamilias" that I suggest above.)

How to Add two rows in orderdetails fro the previous order. Neither of them have any discount. this is not HW, just i want to know that
The answer to this Q depends completely on the design of YOUR particular database and the application rules it follows.

An object is shot up at a velocity of 29m/s and it takes 3 seconds to reach its maximum altitude. What is the objects maximum altitude?
There is insufficient data to answer this question. For one thing, the value for acceleration isn't given, which is an absolute requirement. An object that is "shot" is assumed to have started from a velocity of 0, so what was the initial acceleration used to achieve the 29 m/s value?

I have a bar graph and I need to draw a line across the y axis indicating the max cap. Is there a way in excel to draw the max cap line?
This is very, very simple, and you might kick yourself for not having already thought of it.
Set up another Series to graph consisting of that single value, and graph it as a line. You can include a Label for it or not, as you choose. Since it's a single value, you'll get the straight line you want, exactly where you want it.
You can even set the value by function as something...

How can I display hr:mm as minutes? ex. 1:46 displayed as 106 mins. so that I can divide by 60 and get 1.76 of a hour.
Working with Excel 'date' and 'time' functions can be sort of tricky. If you have a cell formatted for "Time", for example, it's not formatted for "Hours and Minutes" only, but it includes a 'date' component.
That is, if you enter "1:30" into a cell formatted for 'Time', Excel believes that that is a...
Answer to:
Wat is the answer to 5y-8=12??? im realy stuck please help!
First, square both sides, so:
(5y-8)^2 = 12^2, or
25y^2 - 80y + 64 = 144, and
25y^2 - 80y - 80 = 0, so
y = 4
Simple, right?
Now, you try.

The issue is "provision of universal health insurance", and rather than attempt to classify and categorize all human behaviors to the nth degree (diet, exercise,...

Brian's answer works for codes of exactly the same length (6 characters always).
If the code lengths vary, then you can use this formula for the MIDDLE value (the only one that would vary):
=mid( E18, 2, len( E18) - 2)
(Actually, this code works regardless of whether or not the code lengths vary, so you could substitute it for Brian's suggestion with no ill effects.)

It depends on what kind of work you do, I suppose. It's not normal for an astronaut to decline a mission for that purpose. It's not normal for a general in battle to leave for that purpose. It's not normal for a surgeon to leave an emergency operation (that he started) for that purpose.
But for most of us ... pretty normal, I guess.

No, that's just two independent clauses with negative meaning joined by the conjuction "and".

A double negative would combine both negatives in one clause: "I don't disbelieve," for example.

Use the formula I gave you for Row 2 in
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1790076
=if( $B2 = 1, 0, "This is whatever I want to show if $B2 is not = 1")

Answer to:
I am working on a MS Excel 2007 spreadsheet. I need to figure out a conditional formula. If I enter a value in Column B, Row 2 of 1, how do I get the other successive columns (C through K) to have an automatic value of 0 in the same row? F (2009-11-04)
The formula to write at C2 is:
=if( $B2 = 1, 0, "This is whatever I want to show if $B2 is not = 1")
Then copy that formula from C2:K2.
Just for the hell of it, what's the point? And what value DO you want in those cells if B2 <> 1?
Answer to:
I have 16 rows (starting at row 2), 14 columns (starting at col B) of data, and what i want to find is the header (row 1) in each row of the min number and the max number of each row. I can find the min and max using the =MIN() and =MAX() functions?
I arranged my data arbitrarily from B2:L27, which is how I derived the formula below:
=INDEX( $B$1:$L$1, 1, MATCH( MIN( B2:L2), B2:L2, FALSE))
As you copy this formula down row by row, it will tell you the value of Row 1 for the particular column containing the MIN in each row.

Since the stone is always moving, it doesn't have a "north side" to gather moss. Sometimes the side that faces north rolls until it's facing south, where the sun hits it, so the moss doesn't grow.
Also, it's rolling in a river, so it grows algae instead.

Let V = the airplane's velocity
Let W = wind speed
Write the two equations:
4 hours * V - 4 hours * W = 1200 miles
3 hours * V + 3 hours * W = 1200 miles

Assuming that you wanted a critique on the entire paragraph ...

It depends on how the term is written. If it is written as 9b^2 (with the superscript 2 directly following the b), then it means "9 times b-squared". If the term (9b) is in parenthesis like that, then it means that both the 9 and the b are to be squared.
Also, if you're asked to "square 9b", then that implies the parenthetical expression: "9b times 9b".

This is perhaps the primary thing you need to learn in university: how to study and how to find what you need to learn. It's actually (usually) less important to "learn the subject" than it is to "learn how to learn".

I want to print 4 tabs in excel (2003) to one pdf (adobe reader 9) file. Why does excel print the first tab to one pdf file and the next three tabs to a different pdf file?
I can think of several reasons "maybe".
1. The print format is different on the various tabs. That is, the page setup could be set to Landscape on one and Portrait on the others. Or it could be set for different sizes of paper on the various worksheets. So I'd look at Page Setup for each of the worksheets.
2. There might be print macros involved, and who knows what they do.

How do you set this equation up? The sum of the ages of two ships is 12 years. Two years ago the age of the older ship was three times the age of the newer ship. Find the present age of each ship.
Your question is misstated in a small but very crucial way: This is not "an equation"; it is "two related equations", that is, "simultaneous equations", because they are different, yet they deal with the same set of facts in different relationships. So your job is to set up TWO equations, and then solve one in terms of the other.
1. Set up your variables....

Technically is the statement below a question? Should there be a question mark at the end?
"The only way to get many answers is to ask something trivial and then what was the point of asking in the first place."
Technically, yes, it's a question (since it ends with a questioning request), and sometimes you can get away with leaving such a rhetorical question punctuated as a declarative statement to drive home the fact that "no answer is requested or expected". In this case, I would have included the question mark.
The more serious error is the mixed tenses: "is to ask" ......

The way that often works for adults -- though this may not apply to your situation -- is to "be the kind of friend she can't live without", until she has the realization (if she is smart enough) that SHE had better latch onto you while she can.
It's difficult, because it takes enormous patience, some risk and perseverance, and a lot of trust that you can be this patient,...

Solve the system by substitution. 4x+3y= -14 and x=2x+8 I do not understand what to do because the second equation has no y value.
Since the second equation has no value for Y you don't have to worry about trying to resolve simultaneous equations; all you have to do is solve for X in the second equation, and then substitute that value for X in the first to solve for Y.

Hi to every one. I am new to Excel. My question: On sheet 1: I have a data info divided in different columns, e.g Col A = ID num, Col B = Name etc. Is there any function that if i insert an ID on sheet 2 in Col A, I will get the assign name in Col B
Yes. Let's assume that your data on Sheet1 is from A2:B100.
Then on Sheet2 at, say, A2 you can enter any valid ID. At B2 the formula would be:
=vlookup( a2, sheet1!$a$2:$b$100, 2, false)
This will find an exact match to A2 on Sheet1!a2:a100, if it exists, and give the corresponding name at b2:b100. If you change the "false" argument above to "true", then...

Of course not. In fact, it's probably the least effective, and only used as a last resort, when all of the other deterrents fail.

If you're trying to enter this formula AT cell A2, which seems like what the Q says, then it absolutely will not work.

Answer to:
Basic question but I have limited knowledge in Excel. How can I do the following in a excel cell? if t30>631,129 if t30<=631,t30-502
At the cell where you want the result to appear:
=if( T30 > 631, 129, T30 - 502)
So ... if T30 > 631, then your result will be 129. Otherwise, the formula evaluates to T30 - 502, whatever that is.
You can enter the formula with spaces as shown (not just "wherever", but these spaces are okay). Excel now allows that, and it makes later reading / editing much easier.

The only "security" is of the WiFi connection itself to users that haven't been granted the password. In other words, the owner / manager of the campground assures himself with the use of...
