Trump should turn the tables on Xi’s Taiwan threats

Trump should turn the tables on Xi’s Taiwan threats

Trump could have agreed with the entirety of Xi’s remarks about Taiwan as a determinant of regional stability and U.S.-China relations, then noted that neither Taiwan nor the U.S. has made threatening statements or military moves against China. Instead, Beijing may well view Trump’s silence on Taiwan in the face of Xi’s threats as implicit acquiescence.   Source link

Your Pivot Tables are okay, but rebuilding them this way takes 5 minutes and saves hours

Your Pivot Tables are okay, but rebuilding them this way takes 5 minutes and saves hours

Pivot Tables in Excel are fine, right? They get the job done, but only until the moment you need to tweak the layout, add a new field, refresh the numbers after a new data dump arrives. Before you start scrambling through Excel’s UI, clicking through dozens of dialog boxes and dragging fields around hoping you don’t break something, know that there’s a better way. Excel has hundreds of built-in formulas that let you do anything from simple arithmetic to, you guessed it, building Pivot Tables. And now that Excel can write its own formulas, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be using its PIVOTBY function to rebuild the same summaries in minutes instead of hours. Related Excel finally fixed its biggest data entry problem, and it’s a lifesaver One click in the Data tab can catch almost all issues. Stop clicking—build Pivot Tables with formulas A faster, more flexible way to create dynamic summaries Yadullah Abidi / MakeUseOf First introduced in Excel for Microsoft 365, PIVOTBY is a dynamic array function that produces essentially the …

Lab-grown foie gras and chicken get safety checks for British dinner tables | Science, Climate & Tech News

Lab-grown foie gras and chicken get safety checks for British dinner tables | Science, Climate & Tech News

Lab-grown foie gras and chicken are being tested by scientists to ensure they are safe for humans to eat, and could hit British restaurants and dinner tables in the next five years. It is the closest any such “cultivated meat” product has yet come to approval for human consumption in the UK, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said today as it published an update on “innovative” foods. Other products like edible insects, 3D-printed chocolate, vegetables with extra vitamins and cheese that is “brewed” in a lab could also reach the public in roughly the next 15 years, the regulator said. “The science enabling these innovations is exciting and our food system is changing at a rapid pace,” Dr Thomas Vincent, deputy director of innovation at the FSA, told Sky News. Last year the agency was awarded £1.6m by the government to develop a new system to ensure these novel foods are safe to eat. It followed complaints by the industry that Britain’s approval process was too slow to keep up with rapid innovation. Dr Vincent …

Hillary Clinton Epstein testimony descends into farce as she turns tables on Trump | US | News

Hillary Clinton’s Jeffrey Epstein testimony descended into chaos (Image: AP) Hillary Clinton’s Jeffrey Epstein deposition descended into chaos after she dramatically turned the tables on Donald Trump in a fiery opening statement. The closed-door deposition of the former US Secretary of State commenced on Thursday in Chappaqua, New York. US lawmakers are taking two days of depositions which will also include former President Bill Clinton. The questioning forms part of a congressional investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a fiery opening statement, Mrs Clinton turned the tables on Republicans, accusing them of targeting her while failing to investigate US President Donald Trump. She previously told the committee she has no memory of ever meeting Epstein, the disgraced financier who killed himself in 2019 while facing charges for sexually abusing and trafficking underage girls.

DfE to ditch ‘average’ labels for league tables

DfE to ditch ‘average’ labels for league tables

More from this theme Recent articles Schools will no longer be publicly compared to the national “average” for their progress scores in a proposed overhaul of government league tables. Instead, ministers are proposing that schools be listed based on percentiles – so for example, they might be in one of five “quintiles” for pupil progress. The Department for Education has also fleshed out details on how a proposed new “best fit” progress score for low prior attaining pupils could work. Under proposed reforms, league tables would also show the proportion of pupils achieving a grade 7 or above in English and maths GCSE, with breakdowns for key pupil groups. New ratings for progress scores Currently, schools are given progress scores based on how much pupils improve during primary school, between primary school and GCSE and between GCSE and A-level. They are currently listed based on “confidence intervals”. These are “well below average”, “below average”, “average”, “above average” or “well above average”. How performance tables currently look But in a consultation launched yesterday the government said …

Most Excel users are still using Pivot Tables, but this new function is faster

Most Excel users are still using Pivot Tables, but this new function is faster

At one point, Pivot Tables were the greatest feature in Excel, but as with most tools and tricks, that’s no longer the case. Instead of setting up a Pivot Table, adjusting the layout, and refreshing it every time you add or replace figures, you can now write a single formula that produces the same results with far less effort and time. Using PIVOTBY, you can group summaries across two axes and aggregate values, just as you would with a Pivot Table. However, because everything lives inside a formula, your summaries will update automatically, making it easier and faster for you to identify trends in your data. PIVOTBY isn’t just another pivot table It’s a single formula that builds a full summary instantly Screenshot by Ada Despite producing similar-looking outputs, PIVOTBY has nothing to do with Excel’s traditional PivotTable feature. It’s a dynamic array formula available in Excel for Microsoft 365, Excel 2024, and Excel 2021 (including Mac versions) that groups, aggregates, sorts, and filters your data in a single step. You write one formula, press …
