    Sorting a 10x10 Grid in Excel

    Yes you are, sorry... I want to sort the 100 numbers into lowest in A1 and highest in J10 - i.e. so a number in column A moves to another column...

    get rich quick schemes

    Another known get rich quick scam is when you take a number of people, give them a shares tip telling half the shares will go up, the other half that the shares will go down - then you do it again 2, 3, 4 times, until you have a small number of people that you have given a correct share tip to...

    Sorting a 10x10 Grid in Excel

    Thought this would be easy, however... I have a number of 10x10 grids of data (speed readings) in excel and I want to sort them into numerical order from grid A1 to J10 - any easy ideas without resorting to dragging the ten rows into a single row sorting, then redragging into ten rows again ...

    I cannot seem to break free ...

    I've worked through an agency for several years as a Traffic Engineer / Projects Manager - I'm now looking to work more locally, commute less, employ a few staff etc, but in order to do so, I've had to establish what I can sell, who I can sell to and how much they will pay me. I can't compete...

    Wii + Wii Fit?

    We got ours at the supermarket - whilst stocks are thin on the ground, it's best to just keep an eye out for opportunities where people wouldn't think to look first... Since getting ours a couple of weeks ago, I've never seen any for sale at Game or the usual game shops, yet seen then at cut...

    Brown roadsigns directing people to tourist attractions

    Local councils tend to charge between £30-150 per sq.m for a sign - the cost varies depending on if a post is required - they need to apply for stats information if they need to dig in the ground to erect a post. There is of course the time to do the admin associated with the erection of signs...

    Sole Trade -v- Limited Company

    Now this has me half worried - When I was working through my previous contract incarnation I used to recieve a weekly pay slip indicating pay, expences and dividend payments - Now as far as I'm aware I don't have to give myself a payslip, but should I be breaking down the payments made to me...

    P11D Question

    It how I've been paid for the last 6-7 years, it's also how all the people in my situation are paying themselves too... My accountant didn't see a provblem with it when I started the business up - should I be referring to them as dividends ? No to weekly minutes, but the dividend...

    P11D Question

    Reading through this guidence suggests to me that I don't need to supply a P11D - All the expences incurred where assets bought for the company use and all the mileage was incurred in the course of travelling to sites and temporary locations for the business. Also, I pay myself interim...

    P11D Question

    To be fair, for the "contractor" managed service companies and umbrella companies are essentially the same thing from a contractor point of view - the advice wafting around in April 2007, generally pushed many like myself into setting up limited companies and using the former MSC as a outsourced...

    Competitor advertising ilegal on lamp posts - what can I do?

    Businesses need the permission of the local authority to advertise on the highway, perhaps the term unlawful rather than illegal is more appropriate. As for taking them down you run the risk of either creating more damage to the street lighting column, or worse, being blamed for the fly...

    P11D Question

    Hi there I've worked as a "freelancer" for several years, setting up a Ltd company with myself as "Director" last April in response to the changes in tax laws for contractors working through "umbrella companies". My own records show that I've only ever submitted a P11D once in 2004/5...
