Anthony sent Mike Girvin a workbook and a question. We have a Received Date, the Quantity and other Data. What we need is to determine is for Each Weekday, how many Quantity came in? Sounds simple, right? It is not. Extra columns of Data, improperly Formatted Range Fields and the like make this a perfect opportunity for Mike "ExcelisFun" Girvin and Bill "MrExcel" Jelen to strut their talents. Follow along with Episode #1721 as Dueling Excel looks at the matter of finding Quantity by Day.

Today, Elna sends in an interesting question: "While I know that "Ctrl+Down Arrow" jumps to the end of a Range, I want to know what the Shortcut Key is that will jump to the next Value that is different than the Current Cell. Is there such a Shortcut Key?" And, of course, MrExcel has a solution in Episode #1720: If the Find command in Excel supported Regular Expressions, this would be so much easier; unfortunately it currently does not. But, until that happens, a Small "Bill Jelen" VBA Macro, to find the next Cell with a different Value does the trick!

Today's Podcast focuses on a question that Mark asks about a trick that not many people know: You can select all of a Formula's Precedent Cells using the Mouse or Keyboard. Yet, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to return to the Original Cell using just the Mouse. In Episode #1719, Bill shows us how to Select Precedents with the Keyboard *or* the Mouse; how to go back to the Original Cell with the Keyboard, and a One-line Macro to go back to the Original Cell using the 'Cringe-Worthy' SendKeys method in VBA. Use Excel® 2013 VBA and Macros to automate virtually any routine task, and save yourself hours, days, maybe even weeks. Then, learn how to make Excel do things you thought were simply impossible!

Bigger - Better - Brilliant! Mansoor asked an interesting question for today's New Widescreen Podcast. Can you assign a Color to each Unique Value in a Column, and then automatically re-use that Color when the same Value is entered. Bill understands that in order to perform the required spec, this operation will require a VBA Event Handler Macro to analyze each entry. However, the logic is similar to what you would use in Excel: use =MATCH() to figure out if the Value appears above. If the Value is found, then re-use the Color from the matching Cell. Otherwise, create a random Color using three =RANDBETWEEN() Functions. Follow Bill in Episode #1718 to see how the result is achieved and the Color Values are applied. Use Excel® 2013...

Bill is embarrassed to admit it, but he has had the same file open in Excel for five days without saving it. Then, he wrote a quick little Macro that locked up Excel. Ctrl+Break isn't stopping the Macro... He can End Process to kill Excel, but then he loses his other Workbook. It sure would be nice to make absolutely sure that AutoRecover has the files before killing Excel. Today, in Episode #1715, Bill shows us how to track down the AutoRecover files before using End Process to kill a runaway process in Excel.
