When I eventually get round to having enough work to take on full-time employees, I will state in contract terms that a significant proportion of income (bonus) is based on achieving 30 posts per month (average) among my preferred excel forums!

Put my name down.

I'm not going to pay £ per post Rory. You'd bankrupt us!

 

[RoryA]

Oh, then never mind.

You could probably pay Rory in ale! Every x-amount of posts, he gets one! And what is great is that by maintaining his inebriation, his posts will be amazing!

Shame my normal state is over .26 I guess.

Might as well call in the administrators...

That window ('blip') that you showed is actually very narrow for my intake of gin. Sensible answers from me can only be expected from 19:10 to 19:20.

Not odd or inefficient, but just plain wrong – Excel 2007 help files on dates:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

01/01/2008 is serial number 39,448 because it is 39447 days after 01/01/1900. You could call me pedantic, but it matters!

Actually, it's 39446 days after 1/1/1900 : day 60 (2/29/1900) never happened.
