Board Traffic - popularity rising

What makes a casual surfer convert into a participator is an interesting question I'd like to answer.
I was already a genius at Excel and wanted to make sure the people on this board were up to my standards in answering questions before I started providing answers. :rolleyes:

As you can tell from the complex nature of my first question ever asked.

:laugh:

I got started as a participator as I was recommended by a colleague and never looked back from there. I would do the old search and try to find an answer before the forum idea was told to me.
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
For me (as best I recall), I switched from reading forums to posting after I searched for a few answers, found them and then just began to read questions to see what else I didn't know. In so doing, I found questions to which I did know the answers so I thought I'd pay back the help I'd had. After that, my life has never been my own... ;)
 
It's a good site. By that, i mean it's easy to navigate through, it's not overly moderated in the Forums ... <snip>

Hear, hear. I am not one to ask question, but I detest :). I can't begin to imagine how a poster:eeek: feels when they ask their first question and they get a reply that they are locked out until and:crash: unless they reply to some officious PM that tells them they weren't specific enough in their subject matter. Yes EXCELFORUM, I mean you! Grrr!

Can one of the professional, mature and sensible moderators send a friendly reminder to XLD that this is not how we should post here. :laugh:
