86 Beautiful Typefaces For Professional Design

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 |

You don’t like to scroll? Be prepared. (We warned you.)

Every now and again designers stumble upon the very same problem: the choice of a unique and beautiful typeface which manages to fulfill three basic tasks. Support the corporate identity, enrich the visual appearance and is compatible with the overall design. However, usually there are simply too many options you can consider, which is why you need time to find the option you are most comfortable with. Although the choice usually depends on clients’ requirements, it is necessary to have some pretty starting points for your font decision.

So which typefaces are “bulletproof”? What fonts can be used effectively in almost every Corporate Design? And what are the options for unique, but still incredibly beautiful typefaces?

We have answers. Over the last few days we’ve browsed through dozens of type foundries, read dozens of designers’ articles about typography, analyzed font rankings and visited bookmarked font-related suggestions. So this post has ‘em all. Well, OK, at least many of them.

Let’s take a look at over 80 gorgeous typefaces for professional design, based upon suggestions from designers and web-developers all over the world. Most screenshots are taken from the foundries and provided specimens – particularly on Veer.com and Fontshop.com.

Excel: Putting advanced array formulas to work

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008 |

Sum a range that contains error values

The SUM function in Microsoft Excel doesn’t work when you try to sum a range that contains an error value such as #N/A. This example shows you how to sum the values in a range named “Data” that contains errors:

=SUM(IF(ISERROR(Data),"",Data))

The formula creates a new array that contains the original values minus any error values. Starting from the inner functions and working outward, the ISERROR function searches the cell range (Data) for errors. The IF function returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE, and another value if it evaluates to FALSE. In this case, it returns empty strings (“”) for all error values because they evaluate to TRUE, and the remaining values from the range (Data again) because they evaluate to FALSE, meaning that they don’t contain error values. The SUM function then calculates the total for the filtered array.

Excel: Extracting numbers from alphanumeric strings

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007 |

This article was written by Ashish Mathur, a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional). Visit the Microsoft MVP Web site for more information.

In the following article I explain a formula that extracts numbers from strings in the following types of situations:

  • When alphabetic and number characters are clustered together, such as abc123 or 678sfr.
  • When alphabetic and number characters are not clustered together, such as abc15tni.

Problem

How to extract the numeric portion of an alphanumeric string. For example: If cell A1 contains the string “abc123″, return the value 123 in cell B1.

Solution

The underlying logic here is to search for and return the first number in the alphanumeric string, and then return only the numbers that follow.

Excel: Conditional formatting: Considering the fourth option

Monday, December 24th, 2007 |

This article was adapted from MrExcel.com. Visit the MrExcel.com Web site for more tips and information.

Conditional formatting in Excel allows for three conditions. However, by setting up conditions correctly — from least to most restrictive — you can really allow for four conditions, when the default formatting of the cell is considered. For example, say you want to add color to your data like so:

If cell value is Fill with
Less than or equal to -25 Red
Between 0 and -25 Yellow
Between 0 and 25 Green
Over 25 Black
