What's New At The CPearson.com Excel Web Source http://www.cpearson.com/excel/MainPage.aspx en-us Copyright 2008 - 2013, Charles H. Pearson chip@cpearson.com chip@cpearson.com http://www.cpearson.com/images/RssPageLogo.png http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/MainPage.aspx What's new at the cpearson.com web site. New Formulas For Parsing File Names http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CellWorksheetFunctions.aspx Chip Pearson 2014-09-03T05:30:00 I've added some new formuals that allow you to get the name of the folder that contains a file or the file that contains the formula. I already had formulas to get the entire fully qualified path (e.g., C:\SomeFolder\AnotherFolder. The new formulas will return just the name of the of the folder containing the file. No other path information is returned. The formulas take into account and work properly if the file is directly under the root of a drive (e.g., F:\MyFile.xls. Also, support is given to two types of file names. First are the canonical form, like C:\Folder\OtherFolder\File.xls. The other type is for the format returned by the CELL worksheet function in Excel, where the file format is like F:\SomeFolder\OtherFolder\[MyFile.xls]SheetName. You can view these formulas at Cell Worksheet Functoions.

 Interfaces And Implementing Interfaces In Class Modules In VBA http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/Implements.aspx Chip Pearson 2014-06-17T05:30:00 Interfaces and implementing interfaces in classes is an advanced and powerful technique for build robust, streamlined, flexible and modularized applications in VBA. They are not commonly used, because the can be difficult to learn and use effectively. But once you learn how to use them, you can create much better designed applications. This page provides a detailed and in-depth discussion of interfaces and implement interfaces in classes. This is an intermediate to advanced level topic, and you will need a solid understanding of classes in general to move forward to interfaces. The page provides a downloadable workbook that contains all the code used as examples on the page. Expansion Of Design And Development Services http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/MainPage.aspx Chip Pearson 2014-02-07T05:30:00 I have decided to greatly expand the services provided by Pearson Software Consulting. In addition to standard Excel workbook and add-in development, we will also provided solutions and tools for connecting Excel with other members of the Microsoft Office family of products, integrating Excel with SQL and XML data sources, and connecting to the outside world with web services. Moreover, I am expanding into general desktop and browser-based applications based on the NET Framework and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) design development. I have best-in-class developement tools to create application for the future. A New Look And Feel http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/MainPage.aspx Chip Pearson 2014-01-04T05:30:00 I completely rewrote the site's Master page, which is the container page in which all other pages are displayed.
