![]() well it does not hide the sheet! if you can access the VBA screen (which can be locked as well, but if you are going to do that, why not just lock the workbook structure????).
but if this does serve some purpose for you, please do share what and how you used it. i am yet to find it useful. |

Maybe you don't mind if she absentmindedly asks you the same thing again. sigh. PS - Bosses don't like it when newbies decide to do things their own way instead of the boss's way.

i dont like providing clients a values only sheet where they would benefit from sensitivity testing (change enrollment, change trend, change demographics etc). thus, i prefer to lock my computation sheet and then hide it, and then lock the structure. it can be argued that a motivated person can bypass the locked structure (i personally dont know how), but i think that that the reward vs time invested in that attempt is not desirable. whereas this method of 'very hidden sheet' is just a bit of a show off! |

![]() no, i did see it, and i do adhere to it, which is why i send her an email and talk to her about it.
i respect her process, however, but i do believe that efficiency triumphs over tradition. and i do not see the problem in me motivating a modification in my superior's behavior. however, if, as my question had asked, there is a rigid preference for a mode of communication, then i will do what the overlord prefers. |

I normally don't mind if the intern stops over to ask something. But not 10x per day. Because it does break my concentration on whatever I'm working on. And be prepared when you come talk to me, so you don't have to keep coming back every 10 minutes because you didn't anticipate any of my follow-up questions. Quote:
Which leads me to another piece of advice... you are more likely to get people to help you (etc) if you make their lives easier and honor their preferences (to the extent possible) instead of doing things that annoy them, even if you'd prefer to do it differently. So ask questions to figure out what works best for people. Last edited by MG; 07-28-2017 at 10:09 AM.. |
