20241014 Office Space

October 14, 2024

This episode originally aired October 14 2024 on ACB Media 5.

Office Space episode 11: Excel begins! It's a dark and stormy night. The wind howls outside, and somewhere in the distance, a wolf bays at the moon. You sit alone in your office, trembling before the eerie glow of your computer screen. The cursor blinks menacingly on a blank Excel worksheet, and the rows and columns stretch out before you like an endless labyrinth of terror. There’s no need to fear, Tyson is sitting down to help unravel this vast field of blank cells starting with navigation of the workbook.

We’ll show you how to banish the curse of inaccessibility and create a welcoming worksheet using tools such as the define names and how to rename your sheets.

Some of the music in this episode was provided by Jason Shaw of Audionautix, and can be found at www.audionautix.com, Swing by his sight to check out his works and buy the guy a coffee!
