Why excel sucks today

If I have 2 non-adjacent cells selected eg A1 and A4, hit Ctrl+C, and then Ctrl-V in a different application I only want the contents of A1 and A4 pasted into my document, not A1, A2, A3, and A4. Within Excel itself only the selected cells are pasted, but it barfs the selected values as soon as you try to go outside.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yep, known problem. What you can do is hide the unwanted cells/columns/rows before copying.

...or just delete the unwanted stuff after copying.

... or copy 1 at a time.

... or paste into empty cells in Excel (end of rwo) and then copy a second time to paste externally.

Pretty sure with the learning curve factored in, writing any sort of macro there would take longer than the time I'm spending on this task. (Probably 2-4 hours.)

Dan Neely3-Dec-20 5:07

Except that I need the intermediate column data for sanity checking if what I'm copying out makes sense, and reordering the columns to make the two I'm copying adjacent would may the eyeball checks harder to do.

You could temporarily paste in one editor (visual studio or notepad++) which supports alt + mouse click as an edition possibility and select-delete the data you do not need.

The best BlueRay disc burning software

That's a lot of assumptions for the receiving app. Find 2 adjacent locations. Or combine, creating a new table. Maybe a horizontal stack panel. Or vertical. Or.

Apps can read the clip board. Someone has to code what has to happen.

I have an LG BlueRay disc drive that is compatible with M discs. I am trying different burning software apps that will burn 25 GB M discs reliably. If any members have experience with specific software, I will love to get their suggestions / recommendations. Thanks in advance!

A bluRay player is the only way to watch movies if, like me, you live where even 5Mb broadband is but a distant dream, promised now for over 7 years, but yet to be delivered!

If you want a fun project, you can always set up Plex on a spare computer in your home network 🤓 You'll need a lot of hard drive space if you want uncompressed Blu-Rays though. But I can't argue with the simplicity of using a Blu-Ray player... Just plug it in and it works.

I bought a Blue Ray player, a Blue Ray movie, watched it once and then used the player for regular DVDs two or three times and haven't touched it since. It's (literally) gathering dust somewhere.

Somewhat similar - but my only blue ray device is an internal drive on my 'best' desktop. I probably used it for something else, but the only use that really comes to mind was testing that it works.

I don't believe I've ever watched a blue-ray movie. Then again, I'm satisfied with raster-scanned black & white TV.
