Default Hint to posters

Better that yours sits in front of the keyboard than to sit on the keyboard
like mine do.

I didn't know Excel would skin cats. How do you get it to do that, cuz
I've got one very annoyingly sitting in front of my keyboard right now, and
it's very hard to type!

Yes, that's a good point. There's more than one way to skin a cat in
Excel.

A hint to posters: Specific, detailed questions are more likely to be
answered than questions that provide no detail about your problem.

Dave F has written (on several occasions) "Specific, detailed questions

your
problem." I would like to add another hint.

It is sometimes best NOT to ask a closed question like "How do I use
this
function?" This is like standing in the middle of a town and asking
"Where
do I get the number 42 bus?" By doing so you've assumed that the number
42
bus is the only service between the two points. Asking an open question
like "How do I get the computer to do this?" lets others advise on other
(possibly better) routes to your destination.
