Overdue receiveables

Today is nothing new if you are not paid on time, although it is not a pleasant experience at all. You’ve done the job, and now you need to put in the extra effort to get paid.

Student performance analysis

With the exception of the IF function, Excel has multitude of logical functions that are often unfairly neglected. The AND, OR, and XOR functions are also used to test the one or more conditions. The first returns TRUE if all conditions are met, the second if at least one of the conditions is met, and the third is used to examine cases where at least one but not all conditions are met. These functions can be used to analyze student performance on exams.
