When copying an entire Excel worksheet to a new one, how do you retain the macros in the new worksheet?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Every time I copy a worksheet, I have to go back and copy the macros from the old worksheet to the new worksheet and then link everything back up… is that necessary?

Rachel’s way is a pretty good way of doing it. However, there is an easier way if you are writing macros or if you are copying the sheets a bunch to new workbooks.

Instead of putting your coding in a regular module, put the code inside of the worksheet. Go to Visual Basic Explorer by pressing Alt + F11 while in Excel. Then go to the Project Window in the top left corner and double-click on the worksheet in your workbook where you want to have the code. Then just paste the code from your module into that worksheet’s code window. Should work and copy over whenever you need to copy the worksheet. So you do the operation once and don’t have to drag or save the file as something else and delete each time. Do it once and you’re done.

What is the hardest geometry book you know?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

I am going to teach myself geometry and I need to know what book to use. I am doing this because I will be a sophomore next year and want to test out of honors geometry. Then I can be a year ahead.
So what is the hardest geometry book you know that also teaches well that I can get at a library or for cheap at a book store???

I am very good at math so the book can be one from college classes

I suggest Analytic Geometry by Abraham Spitzbart and
Elements of Analytic Geometry by Clyde Love.

Both are very good college level geometry books. You can get them at abebooks.com or alibris.com

Quality job about 20 dollars per square, look hard at the code requirements,good luck

How do you reduce fractions using "prime factorization"?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Reduce these fractions before multiplying:
5/8 x 3/10

I do not understand how to do it. The book gives lots of mumbo jumbo, can you do that problem, and explain your steps of solving it so I can follow the steps myself?

= 5/8 * 3/10
= ([5 * 1]/[2 * 2 * 2]) * ([3 * 1]/[2 * 5]) cancel out the 5
= (1/[2 * 2 * 2) * (3/2)
= 1/8 * 3/2
= 3/16

OR:
= 5/8 * 3/10
= 15/80
= (5 * 3)/(2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5) cancel out 5
= 3/(2 * 2 * 2 * 2)
= 3/16

Answer: in any way, that is, before or after multiplying, you may cancel out 5 at the top and the bottom of the slash sign (/). It will yield a reduced to lowest terms product of 3/16.

Check (reverse the operations to go back to the multiplicand):
= (3/16)/(3/10)
= 3/16 * 10/3
= (3/[2 * 2 * 2 * 2]) * ([2 * 5]/3) cancel out 3
= (1/[2 * 2 * 2 * 2]) * ([2 * 5]/1) cancel out a 2
= (1/[2 * 2 * 2]) * (5/1)
= 5/(2 * 2 * 2)
= 5/8

Can you tell me a metod of multiplication and division that is really fast and you can make it in your head?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

, without calculating on a paper or something like that?

I know one for multiplication, but it does work only if you have: 12*19, or 25*24, or 58*52. It does work only if the number has the first number the same. I’m waiting for your opinions, and if you’d want me to show what I created without reading anything about this, I just wanted to know to do it much faster. I hope you understand what I mean. Thank you for your time.

Yes, I can tell you how to multiply any number by 0 really fast.

1 works pretty fast, too.

10 is almost as fast.

What do you call the numbers in the question of a subtraction problem?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

For example in 2+3=5 the addends are 2 and 3
What would you call 6 and 1 in 6-1=5

Subtraction is the operation of taking the difference d = x - y of two numbers x and y. Here, x is called the minuend, y is called the subtrahend, and the symbol between the x and y is called the minus sign. The expression "x - y" is read
" x minus y."

So in your expression, 6 - 1 = 5,
6 is the minuend
1 is the subtrahend
5 is the difference

What is the difference between Algebra, Geometry and Algebra 2?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

My daughter is in Geometry and has started struggling and will go into Algebra 2 next year. Are there any good websites for tutorials? It’s been years I really don’t have the skills to teach her.

Algebra is the use of simple equations and variables to solve a problem. Geometry uses these equations and variables and applies then with various theorems to shapes. Algebra II is more complex equations and can deal with several variables in one problem. Hope that helps. As far as tutoring see if the school offers it, and if not then you can go to www.algebra.com or try sylvan, i have heard they are good.

What formula do you use for Microsoft Excel that references info on the 1st worksheet from a 2nd worksheet?

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

I have to research a way to create a formula using Microsoft Excel and it has to do with referencing information on one worksheet from a second worksheet. Can anyone help me? All I need is the formula to do this referencing. I searched all over, but couldn’t find anything on referencing. Please help! Thank you in advance!

To reference another cell, or link to a cell:

=A1

To link to a cell in another sheet:

=’Sheet1′!A1

To link to a cell on another workbook:

=’[book1.xls]Sheet1′!A1
