Talk it Out: Relational reference will allow you to utilize adjacent cell values. Use relational reference Auto Fill to create a cascading month over month view. 
Talk it Out: Negative values indicate the past. Add the EDATE formula with negative 1 as your number of months. Pro-Tip: Placing a minus sign in front of your cell references will return them as negative values (We want to look at the past). Change the Nested Function formula to include the cell link output. Pro-Tip: Minimum Value set to 0 is going to return you to the present in accordance with our time travel logic, change this to 1. Add your spin button and set the cell link to A1. Let’s change this static value into something a bit more interactive with our form object. 
Talk it Out: We know it’s a past event (negative) and it’s a static value of 1 in the current formula. We’re going to go back to our last lesson with the Mad Maximum workbook and invoke some time travel logic along the way. Now that we’re done nerding out on the technical jargon for a bit, let’s bring all the time traveling, MIN, MAX, and EOMONTH talk full-circle. The rest will come in time as you continue use. Simply knowing what exists will improve your long term development. Don’t get frustrated if some things are over your head right now. Take some time and explore the different form objects. In layman’s terms, how the application Excel receives and responds to events. The whole process that occurs as you press up and down is known as an event handler. Every time the Spin Button is pressed, the program is going to respond by changing the incremental value up or down onto your spreadsheet. The form object allows you to interact with your worksheet. You created a graphical user interface (GUI) with the Spin Button. I knew I was going to have some skeptics after this big reveal so let’s talk about what just happened. Pro Tip: I always use cell A1 – find a habit and stick to itĬounting numbers by pressing a button? Really?. Select any single cell and press OK when complete. Under the cell tab go to “Cell Link” and click the “Cell Selector”. Right-click the spin button and select “Format Control”. Stay out of those ActiveX Controls for now. Under Form Controls – select “Spin Button (Form Control)”. I want you to start playing around with the form controls – it’s really going to tie into the last couple of lessons. I’m not throwing you to the wolves (that comes later). From this day forward you are a developer.Ĭalm down. There is no going back once you’ve been to the other side. I’m preparing you for this as your skills are about to distance you from the environment around you. Those without available resources, well… they often “ get the job done.” That mentality ends now. Those in well developed and nurtured environments thrive. Often we learn by emulating the practices we see in the environment around us. 
* Insert infomercial speech about how easy Excel is and how to master in a weekend. Remember the cost of time = money. But it’s because we have struggled that we can now appreciate the complexity of what is placed in front of us in these tiny little squares. It’s likely that you can create a workbook that “ gets the job done.” You can also create a lifetime’s worth of bad habits that will cost you time in the long run. Getting started is as easy as clicking in a square box and typing away on your keyboard. Let’s look at two varying statements objectively –Įxcel is a great application because of its incredible ease of use.Įxcel is a terrible application because of its incredible ease of use. Until you’ve tasted the sour you can never truly enjoy the sweet.
