- MAY 1992 LOTUS MAGAZINE MODELS
-
- CONVENTIONS
-
- File names are constructed from the date on which the article
- appears and from the article's starting page number. For
- example, a 1-2-3 model that appears on page 43 of the June 1992
- issue is called 92_0643.WK1. If there is more than one model on
- a page, a letter is added to the file name, for example,
- 92_0643A.WK1 and 92_0643B.WK1.
-
- If a model works in more than one release of 1-2-3 (or
- Symphony), it will appear in the earliest release. For example,
- if a model works in 1-2-3 Releases 2.01/2.2/3.x and in Symphony
- Releases 2/2.2, it will be saved on file as a 1-2-3 Release 2.01
- file.
-
- These files contain only the models. See the June 1992 issue of
- LOTUS Magazine for explanations of the models.

- PAGE ARTICLE
-
- 18 ADVANCED MACROS: STREAMLINING WITH SUBROUTINES, PART 1
-
- Cut development time and create compact, well-organized macro
- code. By Richard Cranford. Works in 1-2-3 Release 2.x, 3.x,
- and 1-2-3 for Windows.
-
- Files: 92_0619A.WK1 = figure 3
- 92_0619B.WK1 = figure 4
- 92_0622.WK1 = figure 5
-
- We added the necessary variables for the macros in figures 3
- and 5 (pages 19 and 22). In both 92_0619A.WK1 and
- 92_0622.WK1, the variables are located in range AA15..AB19.
- In addition, we added a macro to these files to reset the
- indicator (MACRO-X) in cell AD22.
-
- Figures 1 and 2 are for illustrative purposes only.
-
- 64 LET YOUR DATA DO THE WALKING
-
- Use the {PUT} command to automatically post data in large
- worksheets. By Peter B. Shannon. Works in 1-2-3 Release 2.x, 3.x, and 1-2-3/W.
-
- File: 92_0664.WK1
-
- In figure 2 on page 65, cell H51 should contain the formula
- @SUM(C51..G51). This formula evaluates to I92 and is correct
- in the enclosed model.
-
- 69 ARE SOME CUSTOMERS BETTER THAN OTHERS:
-
- Analyze customer profitability to pinpoint high-margin
- accounts. By Helen Chen and David Bolocan. Works in all
- releases of 1-2-3 and Symphony.
-
- File: 92_0670.WK1
-
- 86 Q&A: EXTRACT VALUE FROM LABEL
-
- Here's a string formula that extracts a number from a label.
- Works in 1-2-3 Release 2.x and higher, and in Symphony.
-
- File: 92_0686.WK1
-
- 88 Q&A: DATA FILL WITH LEADING ZEROS
- This string formula allows you to enter consecutive numbers with leading zeros.
-
- File: 92_0688A.WK1
-
- 88 Q&A: COUNT SELECTED RECORDS
-
- This @DCOUNT formula, combined with a Criterion range, lets
- you count the number of Xs in each column of the example.
-
- File: 92_0688B.WK1
-
- Note: The first figure and the third figure in this Q&A are
- switched. The figure that contains 3, 4, and 6 in row 9 is
- the final result of the answer.
-
- 89 Q&A: ASSIGN A LABEL AS A NAME
-
- This macro provides a simple way to assign a cell's contents
- as a range name.
-
- File: 92_0689.WK1
-
- 90 GOOD IDEAS: HORIZONTAL LINES IN WYSIWYG
-
- Use this WYSIWYG superscript formatting sequence to create a
- horizontal line through the middle of a worksheet cell.
-
- Files: 92_0690A.WK1
- 92_0690A.FMT = WYSIWYG nonretrievable file
-
- 90 GOOD IDEAS: SHORTCUTS TO DELIMITED ASCII FILES
-
- This technique creates a delimited ACII file that doesn't
- contain extra space characters.
-
- File: 92_0690B.WK1
-
- Follow the instructions on page 90 to create the ASCII file.
-
- 90 GOOD IDEAS: SAME CELL FROM SHEET TO SHEET
-
- This 1-2-3 Release 3.x macro moves the cell pointer to cell A1
- in each worksheet of a multi-sheet model.
-
- File: 92_0692A.WK3
-
- We inserted two sheets (/Worksheet Insert Sheet) to illustrate
- this macro. This technique also works in 1-2-3 for Windows.
-
- 92 GOOD IDEAS: RECALC @@ TWICE
-
- This technique shows you how the @@ function works with the
- recalculation method set to Manual.
-
- Files: 92_0692B.WK3 = first figure
- 92_0692C.WK3 = second figure
-
- To try this, change the value in cell B4 to 10 and press the
- CALC key. Cell A4 returns the correct result, 11, but cell A1
- still returns 2. Press the CALC key again and cell A1 returns
- 11.
-
- 92 GOOD IDEAS: SORT ON MORE THAN TWO KEYS
-
- Here's a technique that lets you sort on more than two keys in
- 1-2-3 Release 2.x.
-
- Files: 92_0692D.WK1 = figures 1 and 2 (before sort)
- 92_0692E.WK1 = figure 3 (after sort)
-
- Note: On page 92, figures 1 and 2 are reversed.
