Searching in Multiple Excel Tabs

This is something that I hadn't realized until I helped a partner with an Excel, the problem was with the searching because the results were really unexpected, she selected just a column in the tab "Perú" but the searching dialog showed results from "Perú" and "Colombia" tabs, really curious, isn't it?.

At that moment I thought "this could be very useful when you have a lot of tabs to search in!", so I will show you how to use it. As an example, I will use an Excel with many values corresponding each one to determined country, having at the same time many countries displayed as tabs.

Excel with many data

The aim of this searching is to find the value 4034220, for this I can use the search all option but I know that this value is only in non-spanish countries, so I just start selecting those country tabs, to do this just click on the tabs you want while pressing "Ctrl" key. As you can see, this tabs will be marked in white color.

Select more tabs

Once you have done this the only thing to do is to use the classic search option, put the value you're looking for and click "Find All" button.

Use the search function
  
Find the results of the search in the tabs

With this, the dialog will show you the location of the value in the tabs you have chosen, just only the selected ones.

Image
If you don't know, Lotus Notes is an email client used in a lot of companies around the world.

The first step is getting yourself into the inbox, then select the "Create" menu item and inside of it, click on "Agent...". You will get a dialog box opened, in this we have the possibility of setting the rules for this agent. However, in this case we will only set "Trigger" option to "On schedule" with the "Weekly" frequency. Don't forget to push the "Schedule..." button to program the agent in the right way. After this, select "OK" and close the dialog bo...

Turn Horizontal Visio Swimlanes into Vertical Ones

Image
In one ocassion, a friend at work called me because she had a problem with Microsoft Visio , she was trying to draw a process flowchat but using swimlanes, this was not a problem until she realized that it would be better to use vertical swimlanes instead of horizontal ones.    But, when she tried to drag a vertical one it just put together to the previous swimlanes created before.  To avoid creating a new visio document and lost your work just go to 'Cross-Functional Flowchart' ribbon and select 'Orientation' and 'Vertical'.     And it's done, now you can work with vertical swimlanes or if you like it you can turn them back to horizontal ones.
