			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For example, you have 2 sheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2: they both have a list of part numbers in column A and a list of prices in column B.  You want to compare the prices for the same part numbers in each sheets.  One way to do this is to copy the prices from Sheet1 to Sheet2 in a third column and then use conditional formatting to highlight the different prices:</p>
<p>Copy this formula in cell C2 of Sheet2 (and then drag it down to the cells below):<br />
=INDEX($Sheet1.A$2:B$3001;MATCH(A2;$Sheet1.A$2:A$3001;0);2)</p>
<p>This formula assumes that there is a maximum of 3000 different products in Sheet1 (starting at cell A2).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Batch renaming made easy with <a href="http://www.den4b.com/projects.php">Renamer</a></p>
<p>&#8220;ReNamer is a very powerful and flexible file renaming tool, which offers all the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, replacements, case changes, as well as removing contents of brackets, adding number sequences, changing file extensions, etc. For advanced users, there is a PascalScript rule, which let users program their very own renaming rule. Program allows you to combine multiple renaming actions as a rule set, applying each action in a logical sequence, which can be saved, loaded, and managed within the program. In addition, it has an ability to rename folders, process regular expressions, Unicode capable, and supports variety of meta tags, such as: ID3v1, ID3v2, EXIF, OLE, AVI, MD5, CRC32, and SHA1.&#8221;</p>
