    Matrix brain training

    We've all got that thing that we say it would be great to learn whether it's Excel related or just about anything. Me, I think I should spend more time learning about some of the really funky formula I see, regular expressions and using arrays more in VBA, I would also really like to be able to fly a light aircraft but I do little or nothing about it. So while I was watching The Matrix Reloaded (again) the other night it crossed my mind it would be great to get an instant upload of knowledge or skills and avoid all the effort of learning.

    Bearing that in mind what would be your Excel and non-Excel related brain injection topics (one of each)?

    Re: Matrix brain training

    For Excel, I'm still pretty weak with charting so I'd love a brain injection for that
    For non-excel, I'd love to be able to speak more foreign languages (only know Spanish) without all the hassle of learning them from scratch
    Hope that helps,

    Re: Matrix brain training

    Other than =Sum or =Average, I don't really have a clue regarding worksheet functions so I would take the full infusion of knowledge there. As for non Excel, a dash of Stephen Hawking's knowledge would be fun.

    Re: Matrix brain training

    For Excel, slightly cheating but I'd love a C++ brain injection.

    For non-Excel, it'd have to be foreign languages and probably a bit of English too!
    Hope that helps,

    Excel-wise I would like an upload of all things API and how to use them effectively from within Excel.

    Non-Excel I'd like to upload a Michelin chef's abilities

    In that case I would take Classes in VBA. I still haven't wrapped my head around those.

    Non-Excel: "How to Understand Women", of course. Or at least "How to Understand My Wife".

    Re: Matrix brain training

    "How to Understand My Wife When It Is Really Important"?

    "How to Make My Wife Understand Me"?

    No?

    Alright, "How To Survive In The Wilderness By Yourself". I have always felt this "what if" in the back of my head. It would be nice if everyone could have a "basic wilderness survival skills" installed at an early age. Then we could jump into the technology age with both feet and not worry about it all coming crashing down.

    Remind me again what March 14th is? Nothing is coming to mind and a quick Google search didn't reveal anything.

    Re: Matrix brain training

    Way to go guys, announce a very import day that involves steak and....ahem, BJs, two days too late. Now I have to wait a whole year to pull that card out of the deck!
    @Whiz, I've been married for almost 20 years and I still don't understand many aspects of the female emotion. If only I could code her to my requirements!

    Sorry ladies!
