Yes, but I have no idea how to do that! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Hmmm....I don't think that will quite work. Since the value we need to total is in the "calc" sheet, we can't just do a summary of the "data" sheet. Each person needs to be ran through the "calc" sheet, and we need to add all of those up. They need to be ran through the "calc" sheet so that we can test them (and it's a sheet we use for our files.) So, yeah. Basically, I still need a macro to run each individual through the calc sheet and total their amounts up. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Bump! I'll throw two jumps (non-student jumps) on account for someone who can help me out!

Let me repost the excel sheet (I think I posted the wrong one before...) In the "calc" sheet, the cell D63 needs to be totalled for everyone. It's not in the data sheet since it needs to be calculated. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Ooh! That works GREAT for looking up a specific person. However, the "Total" in cell G1 needs the total for every person listed. So, in the example, it needs the cell D63 for every person to be added up. That's why my boss wants the macro. We have a lot of people that need to be added up. I think I could do all of the calculations in rows and whatnot, but I'm not allowed. I have to use a macro There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Thanks! I'll be back later (meeting until 5...yuck.) There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Certainly! Basically, I need to run everyone in the "data" sheet through the "calc" sheet. It needs to total everyone (the bold total at the top references what it needs to add up for everyone.) It also needs to be able to go to a specific person's calc (ie, I'll need to be able to type in somewhere the person's SSN or their Name and have it pull up their info in the calc sheet.) Does that make sense? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

It's been about 7 years since I've had to deal with Macros other than clicking buttons and having them do what I want them to do. I have to create a Macro to do calculations for many many people. Does anybody out there feel like being really nice to me today?

Jon Stewart. I would like to marry him. Robin Williams did the best stand up I've ever personally seen. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Congratulations! You are a lucky man!

I don't know why he thinks I don't like him! I like him...I just don't like him Yay!!! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

And call him by the wrong name? Even better, call him while pretending to be calling Sunny, and talking dirty. Again? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I thought he liked it when you call him my name? I hope he gets over it, but if not, can we drunk dial him tomorrow? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Best sum up EVER

Funny enough from Scientific American yesterday... http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=fiber-optic-event-horizon-mimics-black-hole I really am NOT the person to learn more about black holes from. That's what physicists are for! You are correct that much is in "theory." However, these theories make predictions. Sometimes, scientists find evidence to support these predictions. Often times, they don't. That's science! One example is the big bang theory. It is, of course, a theory. However, based on that theory, scientists can make predictions like the red shift. When they find evidence of it, it supports the theory. However, sometimes they get it wrong, and that's the beauty of science. It's not assuming that what we don't know is unknowable.

I didn't play with Barbies much...except for when I'd cut off all their hair. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I'm not going to remark on that specific case since I don't know enough about it. Typically, people don't mean "not understood by science" when they speak of the supernatural. There is plenty that scientists don't understand (although, they all understand more than me!) Supernatural is more along the meaning of "outside the realm of science." Memories/visions/etc are untestable claims. Even if science doesn't understand everything, and just because we can't see something doesn't make it untestable (ie, black holes.) People much smarter than myself can make predictions based on observations of black holes, however. That can't be done with ghosts. When esp and other paranormal phenomenon are put up to scientific testing, they fail. As far as James Randi, personally, if he was going to give me a million dollars to do something I *know* I can do....you bet I'd fly there so fast to have it tested under clinical settings! And Ralf, no I don't think all "observations" are hoaxes. Like I said, I think it can also be chalked up to things like radio interference and the fact that people really want to hear voices in randomness. Another great resource (if James Randi's beard scares you or something) is Micahel Shermer http://www.michaelshermer.com/ He does a much better job of explaining the paranormal than I do! I don't expect that people who believe will ever disbelieve, and that's a-ok. It doesn't change my life any. However, I just hope people read more about it from the scientific side before throwing away time/money on stuff that doesn't exist. And learning about why it doesn't exist is actually a fun way to learn more about the world in general!

It can be due to things like radio interference or the fact that people try to find patterns in things (for example, people playing records backwards and hearing phrases.) And never rule out hoaxes. People want to get on tv, make a quick buck, etc, and the media is quick to grab onto ghost stories and the like. It makes for good tv! Unfortunately, finding out that it's all a hoax makes for less good tv, so it's not shown quite as often. An example of this is the crop circles. There are people who still believe crop circles are made by aliens even though the guys who started it came out and showed everyone how they did it.

Congrats, Christy! I can't think of anyone more deserving!

That's why it's going to be impossible for anyone to discredit your story. I threw out the most likely reasons. There are several others, and I don't know as much about the real reasons for supernatural experiences as others. Basically, just because you can't explain it doesn't mean it can't be explained. I also used to explain situtations by saying, "It must be supernatural," but after learning more about it, I find it much more interesting to find out the real reasons things happen as opposed to chalking it up to ghosts/esp/psychics/etc. The faulty memory thing was not an insult. People do not remember events exactly as they happened. Basically, when we recall an event, that memory changes slightly every time. People can have crystal clear visons of that memory, but it is different than how it actually happened. The most likely case is that since the point that you initially thought it was a ghost, when you remember it, you are more likely to dismiss information showing that it wasn't a ghost and focusing in on how it was in fact a ghost. It's also why people can remember such vivid ghosts, but there are no recordings/pictures/video of ghosts/esp/supernatural/etc. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

The explanation for your experiences is that it's due to faulty memories and the fact that human's perceptions are easily deceived. No one can explain exactly what happened in that exact circumstance, but likely things include asking the kids leading questions (a tactic psychics use), one of the kids using the power of suggestion over the other, forgetting that the kids actually did hear about the dead guy, or the kids are lying. The argument that what you saw/experienced can't be explained therefore it must be supernatural is known as (I believe) ad ignorantiam, a very popular logical fallacy. From my personal experience, years ago I also experienced "supernatural" things, and I believed that they were at first. In high school, I started researching it more, and it turns out that there are scientific and psychological explanations for the supernatural. It's fascinating to learn about how (for a lack of better phrasing) the brain can trick us. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
