Wise Owl's monthly (ish) news tweet | Issue 65 - March 2023

The items included in this newsletter are listed below. Our newsletter go out about once a month - if you'd like to subscribe, just let us know!

You can now see our published scheduled course dates to the end of 2023

You can see a summary of all of our published dates to the end of 2023 in concise form in a single PDF, now printable on one single (albeit two-sided) page. As always, if you can't see the dates you want please ask us and we may consider adding other dates (or you could always consider arranging your own tailored course, either online or at your venue).

Microsoft's Edge browser now includes an experimental feature allowing you to split your screen

Struggling with having too many tabs open in your web browser? If you use Edge you can now enable a facility to split your sceeen, allowing you to show two websites side by side (you can even change the amount of screen real estate given over to each side).

Adding sparklines to Excel cells is fun and useful but often overlooked - but not here!

A client (thanks, David) suggested I include a newsletter article explaining how to use the often-overlooked single-cell sparklines in Excel. I presumed I'd done this previously, but a search through our records shows that this isn't the case: so here is how to create, format and use sparklines in Excel!

The February 2023 Power BI update has lots of small changes rather than one or two big ones

February's Power BI Desktop update introduced (among other things) a new way of editing relationships (although this is still officially in preview); conditional formatting based on hard-coded string values; better control over page navigators and text boxes; some new accessbility themes; and two DAX functions for linear regression.

Not sure how you should use semi-colons or apostrophes? See the Oatmeal's entertaining style guide!

Semi-colons are tricky things; most people avoid them. Apostrophes' use is declining too. What the world needs is the Oatmeal's entertaining cartoon style guide to good grammar and punctuation!

You may know the XKCD cartoon site; did you know there is also a site devoted to explaining it?

Dilbert has been dropped from most newspapers, but the excellent XKCD site remains a great alternative source of cartoons. If you're not sure of the science or humour in any particular cartoon, did you know that you can check out the Explain XKCD Wiki for help?

Note that to keep our website content up-to-date we only publish newsletters from the last 3 calendar years.
