VLookup in Excel for matches

Wed, 07/22/2020 - 23:15 — melinda

Add users to new sheet (sheet2)
Sort Sheet2 A to Z

 Create New column on sheet 1 at far left (In front of A)

click on cell that lines up with the cell I need to start in that avoids headers

type in the cell the Function VLOOKUP

=VLOOKUP(Cell you want to look up, Cell range you want to look in, 1, FALSE)

   EX =VLOOKUP(C4,Sheet2!A1:A23,1,FALSE)

Before you copy to the next row and beyond, highlight the Cell range in formula bar, (in the above formula is Sheet2!A1:A23) you want to look in, then hit F4.

Opigno LMS- when the homepage changes to "Access denied" for anonymous users

Fri, 12/27/2019 - 11:20 — melinda

This is just a quick reference on where to find the permissions for the front page of Opigno LMS. 

It took me a second to figure out what I did in error to cause my home page to go to an "Access Denied" page for all users that were not logged in.

There is a feature called "Homebox" for Opigno, which I thought only controlled the dashboard view for users when they are logged in. But not the case, it controls the Front page as well. So changing the permission on which users can see the "HomeBox" directly effects who can see what on the Front page. Weird right?

Forced watermark for browser printing (When user has browser to not print background images)

Wed, 12/04/2019 - 15:51 — melinda

This solution came in handy for web pages that displayed "unofficial" information that users could print out.

 

HTML

<div id="printDiv">
     <div id="background">
  <p id="bg-text">Unofficial</p>
    </div>

CSS

#bg-text
{
    color:lightgrey;
    opacity: 0.1;
    font-size:120px;
    transform:rotate(300deg);
    -webkit-transform:rotate(300deg);
}
