Data > Consolidate provides a way to combine data from two or more ranges of cells into a new range while running one of several functions (such as Sum or Average) on the data. During consolidation, the contents of cells from several sheets can be combined into one place. The effect is that copies of the identified ranges are stacked with their top left corners at the specified result position, and the selected operation is used in each cell to calculate the result value.

Pivot Tables and Beyond Data Analysis in Excel 2013 - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Patrick Carey, Cengage Learning Author
Excel is sometimes called the most popular "database" in the world, not because it's a database but because it makes data so accessible that users often turn to spreadsheets for data entry. Yet for all that, Excel's tools for data analysis and modeling remain largely untapped by the average user. In this, pivot tables may be the most powerful and least utilized tool for data exploration. In this presentation we'll examine some of the new enhancements to pivot tables introduced in Excel 2013. We'll examine how to set up relationships using the Excel Data Model to summarize information across multiple data tables. And then we'll go beyond, exploring the data modeling and data visualizing tools provided by the PowerPivot and Power View add-ins, interpreting data not just numerically but through visual imagery, charts, and interactive maps.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Excel tips&tricks
1. Spreadsheet Tips and Tricks
A presentation by Joel May
I. Fill Series
A. A series is any sequence of entries that form a natural list or pattern
(e.g. days of the week, months of the year, series of numbers)
1. Move the cursor to Cell A1, and type “January” (no quotes) and press ENTER
2. We could now move to Cell A2 and type “February” then press the left arrow
and, in Cell A3 type “March,” etc. but that is too much work. Instead
3. Be sure that the cell containing “January” (A1) is highlighted
4. Place the mouse pointer on the small black box at the lower right corner of
the cursor (this is called the “fill handle”). The pointer will change to a black
cross with the word “Fill”
5. Press down the left mouse button and drag the handle to the right to include
Cells A2 and A3, then release the mouse button.
6. Voila! You have entered a series (of month names from January to March)
7. To get a whole year’s worth of month names, highlight the last of the cells
containing month names (A3 which contains “March”) and drag the fill handle
down to Cell A12
8. You can fill series either down through a column, or across through rows
B. Other series available to you include days of the week (either Mon - Sun
or Monday - Sunday), and number series (1,2,3,4,… or 10,9,8,7,…).
1. To enter a series of consecutive numbers, enter the first two numbers in the
appropriate cells, then highlight BOTH cells and drag the fill handle of the second
cell
2. If you wanted to enter a series such as 5, 10, 15, 20, … or 1,3,5,7,9,11, …
you could enter the first two numbers (5 and 10 or 1 and 3) in adjacent cells,
highlight both cells and drag the fill handle to create the desired series
C. More complex series include any entry with an integer or an ordinal
number
1. Period 1, Quarter 1, Item 1, etc.
2. 1st Period, 1st Quarter, 1st Item, etc.
D. Other possibilities are suggested by a study of the Edit | Fill | Series
dialog box
E. To create a custom fill series
1. Choose Options from the Tools Menu and click on the Custom Lists tab.
2. Here you can either enter the list directly or create cell references to a list in a
spreadsheet.
3. After the list is created, you can access it by entering the first name on
the list and dragging the fill handle
2. II. Date and Time Arithmetic
A. All Dates in Excel are recorded in the form of a number representing the
number days that have elapsed since 1/1/1900
B. All Times in Excel are recorded in the form of a decimal fraction of a day
beginning at 12:00 midnight
C. To calculate the number of days since you were born
1. In cell A1, enter today’s date either by typing in mm/dd/yyyy or by entering
the formula for today’s date which is =NOW()
a) If you format the cell containing the formula =NOW() as a date, you’ll
see today’s date
b) If you format it as time, you’ll see current time
2. In cell A2, enter the date you were born by typing in mm/dd/yyyy
3. In cell A3, enter the formula =A1-A2, and format the cell as a number with 0
decimal places
D. To display the number of months remaining in the current year
1. Enter the formula =12-MONTH(NOW())
a) NOW(), as we have seen, returns the current date
b) MONTH(NOW()) gives the month of the current date as a number
from 1 to 12
c) Subtracting this result from 12 gives the number of months remaining
in the current year
E. To calculate the time spent on a particular task measured in hours
1. In cell A1 enter the start time either in “military time” format (13:30) or with
AM or PM indicators (1:30 PM)
2. In cell A2 enter the ending time
3. In cell A3 enter the formula =24*(A2-A1) and format the cell as a number
with 2 decimal places
