Oz shows how to tie a bowtie and reminds gentlemen that clip-on and pre-tied bowties are unacceptable if you’re over 12 years old.
Unfortunately, good self-tie bow ties are hard to find. Many of mine were custom made. The other were found on eBay.
(This solution requires Excel 2010 (since we use slicers, this isn’t available for any Excel for Mac versions)

Here, we expand the use of pivot tables beyond data analysis. Today, we received a report and out first action was to drop it into a pivot table to investigate the data quality … which turned out not to be so good.
Please have a look and share your comments.
Someone recently had a huge challenge. He wanted to do analysis on a spreadsheet that was formatted for people to read. It wasn’t set up for data crunching.
When we try to sort or add a pivot table we learn that there are merged cells all throughout the document.
Save as CSV to destroy any and all formatting–merged cells, bold font, colors … everything!
This is a demonstration of what’s possible with Excel’s data validation.
Too often spreadsheets have no layer of protection so, the doors are open wide for crap data to enter our datasets. We’ve got to stop being naughty and close those doors
Here, I show 3 spreadsheets and demonstrate various protective methods:
dependent dropdown lists, protected cells, protected sheets, cells that can only accept integers between 1 and 12.
I don’t go into the how-to detail. The goal here is to show the uninitiated what can be done. There are plenty of how-to tutorials around the internet. Sometimes we just don’t know what’s possible..

Pleasantly surprising. As a lover of sriracha, I had to try these out if for no other reason than to say that “yes, I’ve tried them.”
There’s some effort that’s been put in here. After a few chips, I have that warm tingle in my mouth. So, I’m not disappointed like I thought I would be. I’m not in love with these, either; but I’d buy them again.
My preference for spicy food is the level of heat that takes you into the capsaicin-induced euphoria while being balanced with flavor. We’re far from that level of heat still, the effort Lay’s made is impressive.
And thank you to Tyler Raineri of Lake Zurich, IL for the idea!

UPDATE: Mac users have Slicers as of Excel 2016
New in Excel 2013, a wonderful analytical tool: using Slicers with Tables to analyze and/or filter data sets.
Slicers could be used with Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts, and Excel 2013 takes it a step further. EXCELLENT!
