Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Whats wrong with the formula for PI that's already in excel ? eg = PI()


Excel help info on PI;

PI
Returns the number 3.14159265358979, the mathematical constant pi, accurate to 15 digits.

That's what I was wondering. He's got my curiosity, though! Maybe he takes it out a lot further(?)! :)
