Learn Excel from MrExcel podcast, episode 1555: Calculator.
Hey, welcome back to the MrExcel netcast.
I'm Bill Jelen.
This is a special Sunday edition, and this has nothing to do with Excel.
I was in the calculator today and I thought it was kind of funny that they had Help for a calculator.
I mean, it's a calculator, right.
But I was amazed when I read Help; what is actually in here, this is crazy.
It's a regular calculator, it's a scientific calculator, it's a hexadecimal calculator.
Oh my gosh, back in the days when I was working in IT and COBOL and hex dumps in the middle of the night to try and figure out what was going on.
Mike Girvin will love this: it’s a statistics calculator and -- and all of the stuff down here at the bottom; unit conversion.
Alright, so, you know, temperature: you're up in Toronto and it's 20 degrees Celsius, and you want to convert that to degrees Fahrenheit-- 68.
All these things that the Convert function does, and more.
Plus-- come over here, View; Date calculation.
So from, let's say: 1965, 2, 17, until today; calculate.
That means I've been alive 47 years, 2 months, 1 week, 4 days; or 17237 days.
Or even a whole bunch of Worksheets here, like Mortgage, Vehicle lease, Fuel economy-- in both Imperial and metric.
All of this stuff in that calculator, which is just one button click away on most keyboards; so, hey, check it out next time you're in calculator.
There is a whole lot there; more than just the usual standard stuff.
Oh well, hey, I want to thank you for stopping by.
See you next time for another netcast from MrExcel.
