Quickly create a dynamic drop down list in Excel

I have a request from friend to create a dynamic drop down list in excel and I would like to share with my blog reader...

Part  1: 
- Open Excel and we start by creating a defined name, 
- Select the Formulas Tab, then Define
- Enter "SomeRangeName" under the Name text box
- Enter =OFFSET(sheet1!$B$2,0,0,COUNTA(sheet1!$B:$B),1) under the Refers to text box

Note: You have to enter drop down items in single column you want here in above formula I have selected Sheet1 and column B, it will start filtering from Row B2.

Part 2:
To create a data validation list:

- Select the cell you want to show dropdown list eg. A1
- Select Data Validation under the Data Tab
- Select List under Allow
- Place the cursor in the Source text box and type formula "=SomeRangeName"

That's it.. now when ever you add items in "Column B" it will automatically populate in drop down list... 

Getting Geo-location with JSon and JQuery

$.getJSON("https://freegeoip.net/json/", function(data) {
    const countryCode = data.country_code;
    const countryName = data.country_name;
    const ip = data.ip;
    const timezone = data.time_zone;
    const latitude = data.latitude;
    const longitude = data.longitude;

    alert("Country Code: " + countryCode);
    alert("Country Name: " + countryName);
    alert("IP: " + ip); 
    alert("Time Zone: " + timezone);
    alert("Latitude: " + latitude);
    alert("Longitude: " + longitude);   
});

LoVe MessAges

Can I say I love you today? If not, can I ask you again tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow? And the day after that? Coz I'll be loving you every single day of my life.

When all seems lost and lonely for you
And you dont really know what to do
Look inside your heart and see
There in a special place, I will be

Most wonderful pairs in the world are:-
HEART & BEAT
NIGHT & MOON
BIRDS & SONGS
ROSES & LOVE
U & UR $MILE.
SO KEEP $MILING ALWAYS.

Being near is not the meaning of being dear,
I may be far from u but msgs are bridges
2 make u feel that I always REMEMBER YOU!

It is not being in love that makes me happy... but is being in love with YOU that makes me happy.

A sMiLe tO pUt You On HiGh... A KisS To Set YoUr SouL ALriGhT... WouLd iT bE aLriGhT iF I spEnT ToNiTe BeiNg LovED bY YoU???

Fate has brought us together, to meet, to know and to part is the saddest thing in life... I Love You...


Curved high on a mountain covered in dew... I saw these 3 words... I LOVE YOU!

Is that love i see in your eyes, or merely a reflection of mine?

I hide my tears when I say your name,
but the pain in my heart is stil the same.
Though I smile and seem carefree,
there's no one who misses you more than me!!

Compare the Contents of Two Folders in Windows

This is a common problem with us, while we take the backup. We always create duplicate backup of backup... mean multiple backup for the same files.. as we don't know if that is already there or not.. so this is just a little trick to save some space by avoiding duplicate.. 

List the folder structure using TREE command:
TREE command can be extremely handy in this case. Suppose you want to compare the two folders (including file names) c:\SOURCE and c:\DEST, open a Command Prompt window and then type these commands:

d:\> TREE  D:\SOURCE /A /F >D:\SOURCE.TXT

d:\> TREE  D:\DEST /A /F >D:\DEST.TXT

This outputs each of the command results to separate text files in your d:\ drive’s root directory. The text files will have your directory structure in a tree format, which makes it easy for comparison work.

Quick Tip: To compare only the directories, remove the "/F" flag.

Next, fire up your text comparison utility like WinDiff, WinMerge or DiffMerge. Don’t have any of those? No problem! You can compare the two text files online via diffchecker.com.

Go to DiffChecker.com and paste the contents of d:\source.txt in one column, and D:\DEST.txt in another column. Click Find differences.

Enjoy little trick to same space in your disk...
