How to sort Excel cells by color...

Finally figured this one out. Although a workaround, it seems to work fine. This is possible by inserting an extra column in the sheet and then using a user defined function. The function will return a number indicating the colour of the cell used in that particular cell (or row). You can then use the normal (Data > Sort) command using this new column as your first sorting column.
Copy and paste the following code to a new VBA module created in the excel file you are working in:

Option Explicit

Public Function ColourSorting(ByVal rgeCell As Range, _
ByVal bBackGround As Boolean, _
ByVal bText As Boolean) As Integer

If bBackGround = True Then ColourSorting = rgeCell.Interior.ColorIndex
If bText = True Then ColourSorting = rgeCell.Font.ColorIndex
If ColourSorting < coloursorting =" 0"
End Function

Michigan lost. History made. Go Appy State!













Awesome!

India beats England!

Something that has happened only 5 times in the past 75 years, a test victory in England deserves a special mention. A great performance by the team - Zaheer and the openers specially. Tendulkar got it going too, the nasty hit on the helmet notwithstanding. A moment to enjoy - and hope for a series victory.

Here's my grab of the videos - Tendulkar being hit on the grill of the helmet - ouch!



See how his head jerks after being hit by the 90 mph ball!



Ganguly putting a finger in his ears after having being out wrongly.



Tendulkar was moping for a long time after his dismissal, rightly so.



Time for Vaughan to take a break and do some thinking.



Zaheer don't like no candy - no Sir.

Graduation Video is up!

Watch mom and dad 'dress' me for my Graduation ceremony - putting my cap on! It was really windy and my Batman gown seems to all over the place. Its Abhijeet shooting the video - it took everyone a while to work the small camcorder. I'm so happy my parents were able to make it the 'Shoe that day! Take a look!

I am the Master!

It is official. I now have a Master of Science degree from The Ohio State University. Starting in Fall 2003 in University of Akron and culminating at OSU in Spring 2007, it has been a fun ride learning and re-learning things. Although this degree is just a checkpoint to getting my Ph.D, it sure feels great to be at the school commencement, wear the black robe and hood, march into Ohio Stadium, get your degree conferred from the Provost and the President, have a diploma handed to yourself from your college dean and then rush out to meet your parents and friends and show them what you earned.

The commencement speaker Bill Clinton, democratic ex-president, spoke really well and talked about "interdependence" as the new mantra for living in today's world. That guy is good. Maybe I am just comparing him to Georgie Bush.....nahhhh, Bill's great.

Here's some pictures. And here's a link to other pictures taken that day .
