Setting Reminders using Execl

Hi,
Is there anyway of setting up reminders through excel that would alert someone to go to certain cells without actually opening up the document? I mean something like an external reminder that will pop up on the desktop telling the user that they need to
go to x cell to look at x dates etc??
Thanks!

Hi!
1.)I'm useing Stickies v8.0a
With this free(and also portable version can be find) software you can set reminders for stickies, and put the file link in it. 
2.) If Outlook is available you can set up task with excel tables, and you can assign peoples(e-mail
addresses) for this task.
If you don't want to show the full database(excel) you can make new sheet with formulas to that cell you want to show, and hide the rest of the sheet.
Good luck with it
John

  • Get Siri to set location reminders (using multiple reminder lists)

    I found a way to get Siri to set location reminders using multiple reminder lists (but you can just use one list too):
    First make additional lists in the reminder app: click list button (the lines on the left) > edit > create new list > done. Make as many as you want. I have grocery, home, personal, business, family.
    Let's say you want a reminder to pick up apples when you get to the apple store. You must add the location in your contacts to your name in contacts.
    Do the following:
    In maps app find the location with search.
    Tap the blue arrow > Add to contacts > Add to existing contact
    Choose your name in contacts. It will be added under your address for home or work so you will need to edit it:
    Click Edit.
    Click on the small label on the left of the new address - it will just say "address"
    Scroll to bottom of page and click on Create custom label
    Enter the location name like "Apple Store". Click Done.
    Important Note: You will need to delete the url it adds under your home url section and maybe other things it messes up with the new contact info instead of yours - so check all the fields each time you do this.
    To make a location based reminder using a specific list you must open that list yourself - Siri will not open it for you.
    Example:
    Open grocery list yourself in the reminders app
    Tell Siri something like: "remind me to pick up apples" (Do not mention the location yet - if you do it will not work)
    Siri will ask: "When should I remind you?"
    Say: "When I get to the apple store"
    Siri will say she will remind you and you will see the location reminder in the grocery list.
    This is how it works for me but if you know an easier way let me know! This is beta so I'm sure it will get easier.

    I have one thing to add.  You don't have to open the list manually.  Tell Siri:  "Add to my <listname> list".  For example, if you have a list named "Work", tell Siri:  "Add to my work list".  Siri will reply, "What should I add to your 'Personal' list?
    and you can continue from there. 
    There is a syntax for doing all this in one sentence, but I find it only works about half the time. Too many fields for Siri to parse in her current Beta stage

  • I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

    I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
    Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
    My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
    Please help!

    Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

  • How to Set and Use a global variable within a session?

    Dear All,

    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    With session.setAttribute("name",object) you can store a Attribute in the session object.
    with session.getAttribute("name") you can get it.
    That's it.

  • How does one install non-English character sets for use with the "find" function in Acrabat Pro 11?

    I have pdf files in European languages and want to be able to enter non-English characters in the "find" function. How does one install other character sets for use with Acrobat Pro XI?

    Have you tried applying the update by going to Help>Updates within Photoshop Lightroom?  The update should be using the same licensing?  Did you perhaps customize the installation location?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • Conversions between character sets when using exp and imp utilities

    I use EE8ISO8859P2 character set on my server,
    when exporting database with NLS_LANG not set
    then conversion should be done between
    EE8ISO8859P2 and US7ASCII charsets, so some
    characters not present in US7ASCII should not be
    successfully converted.
    But when I import such a dump, all characters not
    present in US7ASCII charset are imported to the database.
    I thought that some characters should be lost when
    doing such a conversions, can someone tell me why is it not so?

    Not exactly. If the import is done with the same DB character set, then no matter how it has been exported. Conversion (corruption) may happen if the destination DB has a different character set. See this example :

  • Is "SET TRANSACTION USE ROLLBACK SEGMENT" only a hint

    I have two users, one makes some inserts in a table.
    The other makes a select which visits many rows.
    I have a big rollback-segment.
    To ensure, both users use this rollback-segment I created a logon-trigger:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER a_logon AFTER LOGON
    ON DATABASE
    WHEN ( USER IN ( 'SCOTT', 'BOB' ) )
    BEGIN
    SET TRANSACTION USE ROLLBACK SEGMENT rbs_big;
    END;
    But I still get "snapshot to old" messages from the select, which contains the name off an other rollback-segment in the message.
    The trigger really fires, i tested it by adding an insert-statement to a log-table.
    What`s wrong ?

    The set transaction use rollback segment lasts only until you commit or rollback first time and all other transactions in that session will not be forced to that rbs anymore. Other possible solution could be that other users are accessing same tables / updating them so those sessions can't keep the read consistent image available anymore for your sessions.

  • What Is The Best Setting To Use To Import Music?Please Help.

    Hi, All
    I have got an 80GB Apple Video iPod And I am still trying to figure out how to work it as I am new to using iPods.
    What is the best setting to use to import CD Music and Music from the Internet to iTunes?? as I would like to listen to the highest quality there is on iTunes and my 80GB Apple Video iPod.
    The settings are: ACC Encoder, AIFF Encoder, Apple Lossless Encoder, MP3 Encoder, WAV Encoder. If you have not got them to hand.
    Many Thanks For Reading This And Replying To It, Much Appreciated!!
    I Hope You All Have a VERY Merry New Year!!
    Kind Regards, Rocky Robin

    There really is no BEST setting. The "best" setting is the one that sounds the best to you.
    Having said that, you also asked what setting provides the highest quality audio. In that case, you need to use a lossless format, such as AIFF, WAV, or Apple Lossless. MP3 and AAC are both compressed formats, and will not provide as good of an audio quality as a lossless format.
    My personal preference would be Apple Lossless, but any of the lossless formats will produce an almost identical quality to the CD track.
    Keep in mind, the files will be quite large.

  • WRE54G v3 - WEP key setting when using ASCII passphrase

    When entering WEP information for this device you may notice that the range expander is asking for the WEP key in hex (for example: 128 bits 26 hex digits). If the key that you have set in your router is using a passphrase then you will need to convert it to hex. Entering the passphrase and clicking the generate button will not work if your router is set to use ASCII as the WEP key format. The result seems to be that the PC may attempt to connect (and/or show as connected) but will not receive an IP address and does not really connect to your network. Strangely, the WRE54G will show that it has connected sucessfully to the router. Instead, convert the passphrase to hex one character at a time then enter the hex digits as the hex key. For example: if you are using 128 bit and your passkey is: 1234567890123 then enter 31323334353637383930313233 as the 128bit hex key (1 in ASCII = 31 in hex, 2 in ASCII = 32 in hex, etc...). http://www.asciitable.com/ 

    Hi, The solution I posted above works for me . I can ping the WRE from the network and access the configuration page. The wireless router I am connecting to is a TP-LINK TL-WR340G. The extender is a WRE54G ver. 3 running v3.04.01 firmware. Instead of converting the passphrase to hex I could just set the TP-LINK router to use a hex key instead but thats a pain. Then I would have to type in a long hex key when adding another wireless device to the network or when allowing a guest device on the network. An ASCII passphrase is so much easier to remember and much less typing. If I leave the TP-LINK router set to accept an ASCII passphrase then convert the ASCII passphrase to hex and enter it into the WRE extender then I can use an ASCII passphrase when connecting a device through the extender .
    What I found confusing initially though (before finding the solution) was that if I enter the ASCII passphrase into the extender setup and click the generate button for it to generate the 4 hex keys, the extender claims to connect successfully. I cannot ping it from the network and a wireless device will not get a connection through it but the light does turn blue and the setup screen shows the correct mac address in the link status section. Seems like a bug...

    what is the problem?

    Hi Breceive,
    In your scenario, the issue is caused by that you select dimension members and measures on the same axis without a crossjoin.
    SELECT NON EMPTY {  StrToMember("@ExecDateLevel"), [Measures].[returns] } ON COLUMNS
    To avoid this issue, you can use the query below.
    WITH
