Shortcut for Adding Date and Time to a Cell

Hi,

Last week, I found a shortcut by accident.
I will share it with you to make your life easier. :)

Here it is:

On a cell try the following combination

CTRL+;

gives current date, where

CTRL+.

gives current time.

Have a nice day!

Write the Full Path of Workbook and Sheet Name to a Cell

To write the full name of the file (/Folders…/Workbook Name/Sheet Name) copy and paste the formula below in to one cell

=CELL(“FILENAME”;A1)

If you want only the sheet name, try this:

=MID(CELL(“FILENAME”;A1);FIND(“]”;CELL(“FILENAME”;A1))+ 1;255)

Note: If you try the above formulas in an unsaved excel workbook, you won’t see anything in the cell. You need save the workbook first.

Note2: Look at the  ;A1 term in =CELL(“FILENAME”;A1) function. What if you remove the ;A1 term and write the formula only like =CELL(“FILENAME”)? It will give the same result.

Try it by yourself. Yes, it gives the same result.

Ok copy and paste it to a cell in sheet2. The cell will show:  “….sheet2″.

Return to sheet1. Look at the cell value. There should be a difference, isn’t it?

Having Computer Science Degree or not?

There exists an interesting information on Code Project. They have made a survey and published the results in 6.Dec.2010 in their website. 

Code Project Survet

Code Project Survey Result: Do You Have a Computer Science Degree and Write Software?

The percentage of “people write software and having a computer science degree” and “people write software without having a computer science degree” are almost equal

As I write computer programs without having a computer science degree, I found the result meaningful. Of course having a education in related area would be the best. 
I think the result says also two things additionally.

 

  1. More people having computer science needed to write software. (Because there is a lack of people having CS degree, the second result occurs)
  2. Even if you don’t have a computer science degree, you could also write software.

My thougts about the result is: “If you like something, have enthusiasm and insist on trying, you could do it.”
