  • How to hardcode a 2d array in excel?

    I want to hardcode a 2d array, but the only examples I have found are 1d. I want a simple 2x2 matrix

    x = {1 , 2 ; 3, 4}

    but excel can't assign values to array. There is the array function

    x = array(1,2,3,4)

    but I have only seen examples of 1d. How do I hardcode a 2d array in excel vba?

  • Maps of US and World for MS paint?

    I am looking for two separate maps, one of the US and the 50 states, and the other of the world. I would want all of the countries labeled. I would want it to be a MS paint file, so it is easy to color in the states/countries I have visited. I have tried googling it and I have found maps close to what I am looking for, but just not quite.

  • Excel referencing question?

    I have to several billing reports for several groups at my company. Each report from the groups is a little different, so one master template won't work. But what I can do is create a sheet in each individual workbook that references everything I need.

    What I would like to do is have a master workbook that has each of these 'templates' in it, so I can just copy and paste the sheet into the corresponding group's billing information. The problem, is when I create it, it references sheets that don't exist in this master workbook, so the references don't carry back over to the individual sheets.

    How can get it to keep the reference worksheet (even though it doesn't exist in the master) while copy and pasting it over? If that makes sense...

  • How to get over a girlfriend being with someone else?

    There's a little backstory:

    My girlfriend and I were together for nearly 4 years before we broke up. After college we had to move to different parts of the country, and apparently the distance was a lot harder on her than it was me. I never had any reason not to trust her, and she never gave me any.

    About 2 months into the breakup she visited home and went to a wedding with an old highschool flame. Needless to say they slept together. I don't blame her at all because I would have done the exact same thing given the opportunity.

    One month later she visited me, and we are discussing getting back together. She realized that she made a huge mistake in breaking up with me, and the thought that she had been with someone else makes her feel sick to her stomach. She absolutely regrets her decision and is trying to win me back.

    I would take her back in a heartbeat, but I feel conflicted about the whole thing. I love her so much, and I forgave her for everything, but it still hurts to think about. We were each other's firsts and only's, and that was something special that we shared. And it's gone, it's not there anymore and there's no way to get that back. What's done is done. I know we weren't together, we didn't know we'd end up getting back together, and she was put in a very vulnerable position.

    It just hurts me so much to think about, and I want to be able to get over it, forget it, and move on. But there's another side of me that jealous that she got to experience something different, and that's not an expereince I've had. But at the same time, I wouldn't want to put her through the same hurt that I'm going through.

    I want to get back together with her completely, (we are currently taking things slow), but I don't want this hurt that comes with it. Is it possible to forget something like this? Or will it always be gnawing at me in the back of my mind?

  • Coin Flipping Program?

    So I wrote a quick Excel program in VBA to see how many tries until x number of heads come up in a row. I have it run 10 times and then I see what the average, max, and min number of throws it takes to finish. Once I specify 20 heads in a row, the average, max, and min are the same each run to the number. This is true for anything above 20. (I've only run it to 25 because I get impatient at higher numbers).

    Are these constant numbers a failure of my code? Or is it that excel random numbers come up with the same EXACT number of tosses until 20 heads come up in a row?

    Sub coin()

    goal = Cells(1, 2)

    For i = 1 To 10

    head = 0

    toss = 0

    Do While head < goal

    If Rnd() < 0.5 Then

    head = head + 1

    toss = toss + 1

    Else

    head = 0

    toss = toss + 1

    End If

    Loop

    Cells(2, 1 + i) = toss

    Next i

    End Sub

  • Excel VBA Appactivate & sendkeys problem.?

    I am trying to copy and paste from excel workbook A to excel workbook B using VBA. However workbook A is being run from a different computer on another network, and it is in .MHTML format. I am not able to manipulate workbook A with a macro from workbook B using any of the standard coding. (workbooks("A").sheets( etc....))

    Ideally I would want to use a sendkey to press ctrl-a ctrl-c on workbook A and then paste it to B. However when I use appactivate, it brings up the workbook to the front, but it's as though it's a screenshot until the macro finishes. The sendkeys aren't being sent to the excel cells because the appactivate isn't highlighting any cells within the workbook, just the workbook. (if that makes sense?)

    Does anyone know how to get these two workbooks to talk to each other using VBA? I'm at a loss. Thank you.

  • Whitish green pus around wound?

    I hit my head the other day and it left a wound about 2 inches long, 1/2 wide. It's not deep, but it did form a white goo across the whole surface. This has recently turned greenish. Should I wash this goo off? Or does this turn into a scab?

    I'm calling it goo because everything I looked up about pus is infection, and I've had this before.

  • Flowrate of gas as it leaves a pressurized tank.?

    I want to find the flowrate of CO2 as it exits a tank. I tried using the bernoulli equation, but I feel like I'm missing something. The problem goes like this.

    I have a CO2 tank that's hooked up to pressure regulator that keeps the pressure exiting the tank at 20 psi. The cross sectional area where the gas is leaving from is a hole with a quarter inch diameter. What is the flowrate of the gas if it exits into the atmosphere at room temperature?

  • Microsoft Excel question?

    I was wondering if you can reference a cell by using the value from another cell. (confusing, right?)

    I made a random number generator in a spreadsheet, which will be used to pick a random word from a list in the 'A' column. I would like to be able to spell out that word in another column.

    So let's say the generator comes up with the number 23, I would like to have a cell in the B column that says '=A23', and changes every time the random number generator comes up with a new number ('=A14', '=A55' etc). Does anyone know how to make this happen? Thank you!

    I am trying to write a template in microsoft word. What I want to do is have underlines that show where to type (or write if you print it out). I want that underline to stay as I type text above it. Right now, if I type, the underline is pushed to the line below and it opens up making room for the letters. I want it to be permanent and won't alter because of typed text.

  • How do you tell a girl she should exercise?

    My girlfriend's only excuse for not going to the gym is that she has never gone before. I want her to go and get in shape, but I don't know how to put it in a way that she won't get upset with me. I've mentioned it a couple times and every time she just says she wouldn't know what to do or that her face turns red. I told her a specific exercise (run on the treadmill for 5 miles) but she makes absolutely no effort, or thought of effort, to go. She is a small girl and is not fat by any means, though she has put on weight since we started going out. I'm afraid that if she keeps her eating/exercising habits up, she will start gaining a lot of weight, and honestly, she is too small and will look awkward if she became fat. How do I convince her to go to the gym without making her think she is fat?

  • How do I rid my computer of Bloodhound.exploit.196?

    As far as i can tell there is no serious damage from this virus, but it takes up soooo much space. One virus is 2000 kilobytes, and I get THOUSANDS of these. So my computer shrinks in space FAST.

    They always appear in the temp folder, I deleted everything in that folder, I ran anti-spyware, virus scans, deleted internet cookies and browers and all that stuff. Nothing works.

    I keep getting hundreds of these viruses every day and it takes forever to delete them or do anything about it. How do I get rid of these?

  • What is the name of this computer game? ?

    I used to play this game as a kid, you would have to compete with your opponent to build a faster vehicle whether it was a plane, a car, or whatever. You would run around the levels and collect different parts and depending on the stats of the parts would determine whether your vehicle will be faster than the bad guy's vehicle, or if it would work at all. Like you could collect 4 different wings, but there is one that is the lightest would be the best or something. Does anyone know the name of this game or even remember it?
