10 things I can never remember how to do in Excel | 10 Things | TechRepublic.com: “Like a lot of business software users, I’m a generalist. On any given day, my job may require a little number crunching and word processing, and maybe some page layout, slide show creation, or report building. For the most part, the various Office apps make it easy to meet these needs. But certain tasks just don’t come up often enough for me to keep them in my head. (Yes, I’m blaming the tasks here.)

Excel is a good example. I use it every day, but I seldom need to do more than enter data or a simple formula. So when a job requires something a little more sophisticated, I waste a certain amount of time trying to remember how I got it to work before. Then I waste even more time trying to extract a useful answer from online help.”
