IFERROR for Excel 2003 Posted: 15 Jul 2009 06:00 AM PDT A new function in Excel 2007 – IFERROR. While a useful improvement, it is incompatible with older versions (including 2003). Adding this macro fixes it. Alternatively you could rewrite from =IFERROR(A,B) to =IF(ISERROR(A),B,A) It seems that in OpenOffice we can't use macros in formulas:…

Advertising (double and a half) fail
I get the following email in my inbox: Knowing that they have some interesting people (and webcasts), I bite. So where should I click? On the subscribe button of course!

I’ve tried to inquire if they notified Mozilla about the issue,…

Tried to review RocketPost…
A reader of mine asked about my opinions about RocketPost, so I thought I’ll give it a try. Their interface seemed alright and there were some interesting features showcased in the tour. An other thing I’ve liked is that they offer a free version with no restrictions, other than the number of blogs limited to…
