alexpgpA few days ago, somewhere in my wanderings, I read something about how pivot tables are likely the #1 least-understood-yet-powerful feature of Excel, so in between things, I dropped into the Barnes & Noble (where I had spied a display book devoted to the use of pivot tables in Excel 2007) and spent time reading a bit about the subject.
As I turns out I have about 76784 words to edit and update between now and Thursday morning, where said words are distributed among 12 files, I decided to try creating a pivot table of my own, to help figure out how to even the load over four days.
I gotta tell ya, it's pretty slick. Now, I just have to make sure I don't turn into one of those people who starts to wander about looking for incompletely driven nails to hit with my new hammer!
Yea, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!
Cheers...
