So, my first baby is due in two weeks and I’m getting quite excited (as you do!).
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>
However, no new arrival would be complete without an Excel or VBA themed t-shirt bearing a geeky slogan relating to fatherhood.

So my challenge to you all is to come up with some ideas for a t-shirt slogan that I can make as I’m keen to use some of that iron on transfer paper that I bought with such good intentions two years ago!!

Also, I’ll need something to keep me occupied on paternity leave I’m sure……..
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
"Mom gives me Formula.

Dad gives me Formulas."
 
"Mom gives me Formula.

Dad gives me Formulas."
That is pretty good. I can almost see a Far Side comic come out of this, with a professor at a chalkboard with a long proof and a baby sitting in a high chair with a caption something like:

"Dr. Smith's first attempt to give his baby formula is deemed a complete failure."
 
"Dr. Smith's first attempt to give his baby formula is deemed a complete failure."
:laugh:
 
Only thing I could think of.

Code:
If Me.Hungry = True Then
    Me.Action = "Cry"
ElseIf Me.Tired = True Then
   Me.Action = "Sleep"
Else
   Me.Action = "Poop"
End If
 
As the father of a 9week old girl, in addition to Miss 2, may i seek to offer a correction?

Code:
OPTION EXPLICIT
Public Sub BabyLife
Me.Action = "Cry"
Do While Age<6months
    If Me.Hungry = True Then
       Me.Action = "DoubleCry"
    ElseIf Me.Tired = True Then
       Me.Action = "Cry" 
       If RND()>0.8 then 
            Me.Action = "Whimper"
            Me.Action = "Sleep" 
       End If
    Else
        If DayCounter > 10 And Inconvenience > 1 then
                Me.Action = "Poop"
        End If
    End If
Loop
End Sub
And I didn't declare the variables because it's just for a T-Shirt (But you know you have to be explicit...), and you know there are gonna be errors in in formula that seeks to emulate a baby...
 
Not related but I really want this t-shirt for my future kids:

"Santa isn't real. It's okay, I can't read yet."
