Sources of Excel Tips, Tricks & Code

[John James]

Hi,

Before posting questions here, I'd like to be able to independently search the wealth of tips, techniques, code, etc on the Web in an organised way. Some sites have excellent indexes of these tricks on their individual sites. Is there any source that pulls this info from these different sites together (preferably in an organised way)?

Failing that, I'd like to know how experts on this site reference their info, because your references seem to be consistently at your fingertips. What sources do you use and how do you sort the wheat from the chaff when answering questions? Here's a couple of indexes. What other indexes do you recommend?

http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html

Many thanks in advance for helping me learn how to fish.

John

Hi John

The newsgroup are great
If you install my Google search add-in you can search the groups very easily and also search in Excel sites (and MSDN MS pages)
There is also a Favorites list in the add-in

There are a few books also that you can buy
See

Thanks Ron, Paul and Nastech,

Ron de Bruin's add-in is a cute addition which I'm gratefully using, and should be made part of the standard Excel (Word, Powerpoint) help menu. Even lets me quickly find all threads I've posted to here from within Excel.

Thanks for the sites/methods referenced in this addin and in the responses.

I'd like to be able to optionally restrict Google searches to a group of selected favourite sites. Lazy, I know, but I'd love to do this in one operation. Not feasible?

I guess I'm a tad surprised that there is not a single site which specialises in logically organising (with summary explanations) the best Excel tips and tricks on the Web, providing links to those source sites.

Back to surfing,

[nastech]

I don't think I could find it quick enough, but remember site (probably mvp
site / from here) that had put together a CD of these postings. You would
have to search some.
