October, 2014

It  is now fall in Brampton and although the weather is cool we still manage a cappuccino on our deck on the sunny days.  

 

The focus in October is always on the 2014 Accounting Technology seminar series that I have been coordinating for the last twenty two years. This year the attendance has reached a new high with nine of the thirteen cities selling out. I have been in attendance at the seminars in the Toronto area and Nancy and I will be flying to Vancouver for the final event next Saturday.

 

I am pleased to be presenting our Tech Update at the CGA Ontario conference in early November. As well, I will be doing a keynote at the first Canadian Accounting Technology Show in Toronto,  also in early November.

 

Starting next week I will be tweeting an Excel keyboard shortcut five days a week. If you want to receive these useful tips click on the "Follow us on twitter" tab in the Quick Links panel below on the left.

 

Our series of on demand webinars is being well received and we now have five webinars in our web store. For additional information and to purchase a webinar please CLICK HERE.
 

As usual, I welcome your comments at alan@k2e.ca

 

Sincerely,

Excel Tips

Excel1How to Move the Quick Access Toolbar    

Summary: The Quick Access Toolbar normally appears at the top of your screen above the Ribbon. I prefer to display it below the Ribbon. Here is how to do this:  
 

  • Right click over the Quick Access Toolbar 
  • Select Show Quick Access Toolbar Below the Ribbon
Your Quick Access Toolbar will now appear below the Ribbon.

 


Excel2ADeleting Hyperlinks in an Excel Workbook      

Summary:  There are times when you need to delete one or more hyperlinks from an Excel workbook. Here is how to do this:

Repeat the process if you need to delete another hyperlink.

Summary: There are times when you only want to copy the visible cells in a worksheet. This is usually the case when you have hidden rows in the range and you don't want to copy the hidden data. Here is how to do this: 

To just copy and paste the visible cells in a range do the following.
  • Select the range of cells
  • Click on the Home tab in the Ribbon
  • In the Editing group click on Find & Select
  • Select Go To Special
  • Under Select, select Visible Cells Only
  • Click on OK
  • Click on the Home tab in the Ribbon
  • In the Clipboard group select Copy
  • Position your cursor in the cell in the worksheet in which you want to paste the visible data
  • Select Paste

Only the visible data will be pasted into the worksheet.
