    Should I run the Windows 10 update now or wait

    Upgraded and doesn't seem that much difference to 8.1 apart from the tiles bit is now in the start menu. Cortana seems pretty useless at the minute.

    Excel Macros

    If you can view the code and it's not protected (Alt & F11 will bring up Visual Basic editor) you can use the pause and play buttons to turn the code on and off. Not heard of any shortcuts available in the actual file but never had a need to pause code so not looked. If you don't want the...

    First steps starting a bar business.

    Best pub in Southport is the Tap and Bottles, masters of the craft. Liverpool has some great breweries on the go so it's big business. Once on the craft it's hard to go back.

    Any online Excel training recommendations?

    I'd recommend just googling how to do something. There are numerous forums, blogs and videos out there that show you how to do a specific task. From experience, the main problem most people have is not knowing what they want to do with a spreadsheet.

    Anyone know what's happening with PeoplePerHour?

    Bidding sites really annoyed me when I was working on my business full time as they were always full of people offering to do jobs for $1 an hour which nobody in the UK can compete with. The rate I used to charge was probably really cheap for the time some jobs took compared to how much a...

    Resurrecting My Business

    Doesn't seem that long ago that I joined UKBF but looking at my profile it was in 2007! Having being on a bit of a hiatus with the birth of my daughter nearly 4 years ago which resulted in me getting a full time job in the NHS as a Workforce Information Analyst, I've been spending the last few...

    Facebook may be closing down

    How is it that the BBC are allowed to advertise links to Facebook pages for their programmes when Facebook is a multi-million dollar business? I thought advertising was banned on the beeb?

    Recovering data from a hard drive

    I had to do similar the other week. I was using Vista and just added the username I was logged on as to the permissions bit and gave it full access rights. This might help http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/05/25/how-to-take-ownership-and-grant-permissions-in-windows-vista/

    Hi, if they're all text and not numbers try... =OFFSET(A1,,MATCH("",$A1:$E1,-1)-1,) where A1 is the first cell in the row and $A1 : $E1 is the full range of cells in the row to check.

    Excel training

    Might be best to write a list of what he actually wants to use Excel for and then send it round training places to see if they can make a training program to match. The problem with generic training programs is that half of it might be stuff that has nothing to do with what you need or stuff you...
