Cloud computing

Cloud computing is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access their personal files at any computer with internet access. This technology allows for much more efficient computing by centralizing storage, memory, processing and bandwidth.

A simple example of cloud computing is Yahoo email or Gmail etc. You dont need a software or a server to use them. All a consumer would need is just an internet connection and you can start sending emails. The server and email management software is all on the cloud ( internet) and is totally managed by the cloud service provider Yahoo , Google etc. The consumer gets to use the software alone and enjoy the benefits. The analogy is , 'If you only need milk , would you buy a cow ?' All the users or consumers need is to get the benefits of using the software or hardware of the computer like sending emails etc. Just to get this benefit (milk) why should a consumer buy a (cow) software /hardware ?


Cloud computing is broken down into three segments: "applications," "platforms," and "infrastructure." Each segment serves a different purpose and offers different products for businesses and individuals around the world.
In June 2009, a study conducted by VersionOne found that 41% of senior IT professionals actually don't know what cloud computing is and two-thirds of senior finance professionals are confused by the concept,highlighting the young nature of the technology. In Sept 2009, an Aberdeen Group study found that disciplined companies achieved on average an 18% reduction in their IT budget from cloud computing and a 16% reduction in data center power costs.

Overview of Scrum

Scrum is perhaps one of the simpler project management methods to learn and implement. In this tutorial, I will show you how to speak the language of Scrum and utilize this valuable management tool for your company

Basic Scrum Vocabulary

Before being able to implement Scrum, it is important to be familiar with some key words in the the Scrum vocabulary.

Sprint- a 30-day focused effort moving the team toward fixed goals.

Product Backlog- a constantly prioritized to-do list.

Sprint Backlog- a list of the highest prioritized items from the product backlog.

Scrum Master- the coach for the product management team and works to ensure the realization of the goals of the sprint.

Product Owner- represents the customer and is responsible for prioritizing the backlog.

Scrum Team- a group of 5-9 people who self-organize and have joint responsibility for the completed tasks.

The Scrum Process

Now that basic vocabulary related to Scrum has been defined I will detail the Scrum process step-by-step.

1.Creating a backlog – in this step, the Product Owner and Scrum Team meet in order to discuss the priority and items on the Product Backlog. The Product Owner must be able to form the product vision. The Product Backlog then, is a prioritized list of what is required for the project and is ranked with regard to importance.
2.Once the product manager creates the backlog, then there will be a Sprint Planning Meeting. During the first phase of the meeting, the Product Manager describes to the team the goals of the project and explains the Product Backlog. During the second phase, the Scrum Team will select the items to be completed during the sprint from those with highest priority on the Product Backlog.
3.Once the items to be worked on have been selected, a potential Sprint schedule is constructed – taking into account the availability of the team members to devote their time to the project. The items in the Product Backlog are assigned and broken down into individual tasks. Once this occurs, this document is the Sprint Backlog.
4.The Sprint begins and lasts from 15-30 days. During the Sprint, no other tasks are added to the backlog.
5.Daily Scrum begins when the sprint begins. The Daily Scrum is a 15 minute stand-up meeting where each member of the team gives a very brief report to everyone else – what they accomplished since the last Daily Scrum, what they hope to accomplish, and issues that have come up. Here, the Scrum Master will make note of issues and attempt to resolve them – after the meeting.
6.Sprint Review – once the Sprint ends, everyone gets together in a meeting to share what he or she accomplished during the sprint.
7.The process begins again with a new list of prioritized tasks on the Product Backlog.

Avoiding Error Displays when Formulas Return Result Calculations

To avoid errors being displayed, combine the IF formula with the ISERROR formula:

1. In cell A1, type the number 100.
2. In cell B1, type the formula =A1/A2. The calculation returns an error #DIV/0!, which occurs when trying to divide a number in a cell by 0 (A2).
3. To avoid displaying this error in a cell, in cell C1, enter the formula =ISERROR(B1). The formula returns the result TRUE. That is, cell B1 contains an error in the calculation of the formula (the ISERROR formula is located in the Information category in the Paste Function dialog box).
4. In cell D1, enter an IF formula =IF(C1,0,B1).
5. Combine the formulas into one nested formula by copying the formula (without the = sign) from cell C1, and pasting it into cell D1 (see tip # 196).
6. From cell B1, copy the formula (without the = sign), and paste it twice.

The result is one nested formula: =IF(ISERROR(A1/A2),0,A1/A2)।

Add Combo Box to a Sheet in Microsoft Excel

• 
  
  
  
  What are the Advantages of working with Combo Box?
  
  Choosing an item from a list in the Combo Box returns a number. The number then replaces the use of the Match formula to calculate the column number in the Vlookup formula (read tip) and replaces the use of the Match formula (read tip) to calculate the column number in the Index formula.
  
  Working with the Combo Box
  
  A list of the cell ranges in the sheet is attached to the Combo Box. After an item is selected from the list, the Combo Box enters into the linked cell the ordinal number of the item that is selected on the list.
  
  
  
  Example:
  
  The screen shot displays a profit and loss statement as compared to the previous year. Changing the month in the Combo Box will automatically change the display of data according to the selected month.
  
  
  Step 1: Define names
  
  1.Enter the months list - January-December into the cells A1 to A12 in the new worksheet.
  
  2.Select cells A!:A12, press Ctrl+F3, enter the text MonthsList into the Names In workbook box, and click OK.
  
  3.Select Cell B1, press Ctrl+F3, enter the text MonthNumber into the Names in Workbook box, and click OK.
  
  
  Step 2: Add a Combo Box to a worksheet
  
  1. Select one of the toolbars, right-click, and select the Forms toolbar.
  
  2. Copy the Combo Box by clicking the Combo Box icon, and then release the mouse. Create a rectangle with the mouse in the worksheet, and then release the mouse.
  
  
  Step 3: Format the Combo Box
  
  1.Select the Combo Box; right-click; and from the shortcut menu that appears, select Format Control. Then select the Control tab
  
  2.In the Input range box, type the name MonthsList (You cannot press F3 to paste a name with an object).
  
  3.In the Cell link box, type the name MonthNumber.
  
  4.Click to select the 3-D shading box (more aesthetic).
  
  5.Click OK.
  
  Exit the formatting mode of Combo Box, and select a cell in the sheet. Open the list of items in the Combo Box, and select a month. Note that the new month number is shown in cell B1.
  
  
  
  
  Advantages of working with names in a Combo Box
  
  Attaching a list with Define Names causes your list references to be updated automatically in the Combo Box. Sorting the list in the sheet will automatically sort the list in Combo Box as well.
  
  
  Deleting a Combo Box
  
  Select the object; right-click; and from the shortcut menu that appears, select Cut.
  
  
  Adjusting the size of the Combo Box to the cells
  
  Select the Combo Box and right-click; the Combo Box is now in editing mode. Adjust the width or height of the Combo Box by dragging one of the corner boxes; adjust the placement of the Combo Box on the worksheet by clicking anywhere inside the box and dragging it.
  
  
  Automatic adjustment of the Combo Box
  
  Hold down the Alt key while you click the mouse to adjust the size of the Combo Box.
