Busy, Busy!

This past week has been very, very hectic. After I got back from Texas last weekend, I needed to catch up on the work that invariably piles up while I am gone. Then, I found that I need to be out of town for two days during the week. That just made the "to do" list all that much longer.

I think I've made it through everything necessary this week, though. I'm looking forward to a normal level of busyness this next week.

I hope that your week has gone well and that you enjoy the tips in this week's newsletter.

Special Note!

I've been publishing ExcelTips for years. Decades, actually. The newsletter you are reading right now is for very old versions of Excel. I still publish it because I know that some people are still using very old versions of Excel. Most people, however, are using newer versions of the program. If you are are using a newer version of Excel (2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, or the version in Microsoft 365), then you should seriously consider changing to the version of the newsletter designed for you. You can do so by clicking this link.

Thanks for your support of ExcelTips, and I hope you enjoy whichever version of the newsletter you receive. If you have any questions, just let me know.
