I don’t suppose that it’s possible to attend without joining LinkedIn.

Not to my knowledge but uh you don’t need to sign up to LinkedIn with your real name/address iykwim.

I hope meep doesn’t steal all of T-Roy’s material

I’ll be mentioning ASOPs! (the intended audience is not actuarial, but I -am- trying to infect non-actuaries with our standards)

Good stuff, meep! I had my fingers crossed you were about to show the ‘mistaking something for a date’ meme and you delivered, lol.

Where is the setting to turn off the date problems in Excel?

Thank you meep!

That whack-ass formula you posted was amazing. Straight to jail!

I’m using Excel 365, so maybe you don’t have this setting, but here goes:

Under Options → Data

There’s an “Automatic Data Conversions” section, and I unchecked that whole thing.

By default, those are the conversions that occur when you open a .csv or text file or whatever in Excel. I DON’T WANT THAT.

Often, I do want leading zeroes (these are ID numbers, not actual numerals), etc. So I don’t want things to change.

That came from the old AO. I forget who posted it… but I did archive that thread, so I could probably find out.

Here’s the YouTube link of the recording
