Track changes in Excel is a little bizarre. Goal is to track what formula cells in Excel change. Save As to save workbook as XLSM. Change Macro Security. Record a macro to figure out the code to set up conditional formatting for numbers not equal to 2. Choose the Formatting that you want. Record another macro to learn how to remove CF from worksheet. In the macro, add a loop for each worksheet. Add an IF statement to prevent it from running on Title. Add a loop to check each formula cell. Add Conditional Formatting to see if cell is not equal to the value at time macro runs. Go back to Excel. Add a shape. Assign the macro to the shape. Click the Shape to Run the Macro. Bonus Tip: Dragging a VBA module to a new workbook.

Hide on all rows. Running Total for Category Formula: =IF(A6=A5,SUM(F6,G5),SUM(F6)) % of Category Formula: =G6/SUMIF($A$6:$A$2844,A6,$F$6:$F$2844) If your workbook is saved as XLSX, do a Save As to save as XLSM If you've never used macros, change macro security If you've never used macros, show Developer tab Switch to VBA Insert a module Type the code Assign that macro to a shape As the...

Ever since I saw Nate "Moneyball" Silver present at a Microsoft conference, I've been a junkie for his election statistics at FiveThirtyEight. But Nate has baseball predictions, and as a long-suffering Cleveland Indians fan, I live and die by Nate's predictions for Cleveland winning the world series. But his model swings wildly after each game, first saying the Cubs would win, then the Tribe, then the Cubs, and now the Tribe. How can this be? Today, I use an Excel spreadsheet to play the World Series 150,000 times and come incredibly close to Nate Silver's conclusion. Thanks to Excel MVP Jon Peltier for his awesome chart utilities at: Peltier Tech Charts for Excel 3.0
