Welcome to April. Our most important elections in 30 years are next month on Wednesday 29 May.
Today's Business Tip looks at another way to free up space on your hard disk. Hint: It's still not "Format".
The latest Excel Tip is short and to the point: Did you know Excel could do this?
If your business closed, would you lose your home because you signed personal sureties? Here's a course to save you that agony.
The Excel for Engineers online course is now fully live, and up next. But first:
As Barney Mthombothi put it in the Sunday Times of March 17, in 30 years South Africa has gone "from proud symbol of reconciliation to the scorned lapdog of murderous dictators". Large parts of the State are either dysfunctional or don't work at all. Load shedding is endemic, despite decades of promises. Now our water supply is uncertain. Towns are billions in debt and many have stopped providing services. The vital Master of the High Court's office in Pretoria is in chaos. Unemployment is rife. Our growth rate is well behind that of other African states, let alone our trading partners. But there is money to provide bodyguards and blue-light convoys for politicians... And to cosy up to the enemies of democracy: dictators, warmongers, and terrorists. The ANC is suddenly flush with election funds. New kids and old corruption-accused are trying to get their fingers in the till. Vote wisely next month!
Sorry if you missed out on the March-only limited numbers introductory discount: The course is still good value.
The Excel for Engineers course is now on our new online platform, systeme.io. It has video in almost all lessons, This is the most complete one we have produced. Besides the video, there are extra sample files and material we don't have time for on the regular two-day live course.
Why should you take the Excel for Engineers course?
The course is full of benefits for any Excel user in a technical field. Using 19 pre-built spreadsheets (yours to keep), we cover subjects like:
Do it at your own pace at times that suit you. Take half an hour a day and complete it in a month. Spend an hour a day and finish it in two weeks. Or dedicate two days –a weekend, perhaps?– and crack the whole course.

You can move an Excel worksheet from one workbook to another.
Get both workbooks visible on screen, for example by, on the View ribbon, using Arrange All > Vertical. Then drag the sheet Tab (at the bottom of the sheet) to the new file.
If you don't save the source file (or you hold in the Ctrl key during the drag), you'll have copied the worksheet.
Next time: Another new topic.

Could you have avoided it?.
