Make It Your Business to Fight the Flu

season, but it's a time of year that is especially challenging for
employers. When one employee comes down with the flu, it's usually only a
matter of time before most of the workforce starts calling in sick.

About Control
used with permission
from IBM ForwardView
The use of
virtualization, the consolidation of numerous systems and software on a
single platform, allows companies to increase utilization rates while
simplifying management of IT resources. In business terms,
virtualization improves responsiveness by better meeting shifting
business needs and ultimately saves the company€s money, time and

Counting in Excel 2010

you have a list of answers in Excel, and need to know how many people
answered X, Y, or Z? How about a list of hundreds of client zipcodes,

COUNTIF is
a simple formula that takes your dataset or the range (all the
answers), searches it for an option or criteria (e.g. option €X€), and
returns the number of times it found that option. The formula is =COUNTIF(range,criteria).
