Resolve conflicting changes in a shared workbook


Sharing Made Easy continued...


When you are sharing something conflicts are bound to happen. A conflict happens when two users are both editing the same shared workbook and try to save changes that affect the same cell. Excel can keep only one of the changes in that cell. When the second user saves the workbook, Excel displays the RESOLVE CONFLICTS dialog box.

1. In the RESOLVE CONFLICTS dialog box, read the information about each change and the conflicting
changes made by the other user.

2. To keep your change or the other person's change and to advance to the next conflicting change, click
ACCEPT MINE or ACCEPT OTHER.
To keep all of your remaining changes or all of the other user's changes, click ACCEPT ALL MINE or ACCEPT ALL OTHERS.

To override resolve conflicts dialog
To have your changes override all other changes without displaying the RESOLVE CONFLICTS dialog box again,:
click SHARE WORKBOOK.
On the ADVANCED tab, under CONFLICTING CHANGES BETWEEN USERS, click THE CHANGES
BEING SAVED WIN, and then click OK.



Congrats! You have resolved your conflict :)

Adding a linked Server using the GUI

Adding a linked Server using the GUI There are two ways to add another SQL Server as a linked server.  Using the first method, you need to specify the actual server name as the “linked server name”.  What this means is that everytime you want to reference the linked server in code, you will use the remote server’s name.  This may not be beneficial because if the linked server’s name changes, then you will have to also change all the code that references the linked server.  I like to avoid this method even though it is easier to initially setup.  The rest of the steps will guide you through setting up a linked server with a custom name: To add a linked server using SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio), open the server you want to create a link from in object explorer. In SSMS, Expand Server Objects -> Linked Servers -> (Right click on the Linked Server Folder and select “New Linked Server”) Add New Linked Server The “New Linked Server” Dialog a...

JavaScript Interview Questions

This is a compilations of all the interview questions related to Javascript that i have encountered.  Q: Difference between window.onload and onDocumentReady? A: The onload event does not fire until every last piece of the page is loaded, this includes css and images, which means there’s a huge delay before any code is executed. That isnt what we want. We just want to wait until the DOM is loaded and is able to be manipulated. onDocumentReady allows the programmer to do that. Q:  What is the difference between == and === ? A: The == checks for value equality, but === checks for both type and value. Few examples: "1" == 1; // value evaluation only, yields true "1" === 1; // value and type evaluation, yields false "1" == true; // "1" as boolean is true, value evaluation only, yields true "1" === false; // value and type evaluation, yields false Q: What does “1″+2+5 evaluate to? What about 5 + 2 +...

Lookup!!

LOOKUP As the name suggests, Excel gives us the option to lookup for a number or text in a specific area which needs to be stated. If the value is found the corresponding value or text is returned The syntax for LOOKUP is as follows; =LOOKUP( lookup_value , lookup_vector , result_vector )       In the diagram, column D contains varying salaries, against which there is a company car in column E which corresponds to each salary. For example, a £20030 salary gets a Golf, a £35000 salary gets a Scorpio. A LOOKUP formula can be used to return whatever car is appropriate to a salary figure that is entered. In this case, the lookup_value is the cell where the salary is entered (B13), the lookup_vector is the salary column (D3:D11), and the result_vector is the car column (E3:E11). Hence the formula; =LOOKUP(B13,D3:D11,E3:E11) Typing 40000 in cell B13 will set the lookup_value. LOOKUP will search through the lookup_vector to find the matching salary, and return th...
