CANNEXUS Reflections

CANNEXUS was truly a wonderful conference this year - great connections, wonderful presentations, exceptional keynotes (especially Jim Bright and Paul Martin), effective meetings (Standards and Guidelines revisions focus group, 2 meetings for the Canadian Council of Career Development Associations), and a completely unexpected surprise when Stu Conger presented me with The Gold Medal and Diamond Pin Award for Leadership in Career Development (a rare honour, as only 5 medals have been minted and awarded - previous recipients were Lynne Bezanson [CCDF co-Executive Director] and Phil Jarvis [National LifeWork Centre - Choices, Blueprint, RealGame] in 2004, Bernhard Jenschke in 2006 [IAEVG President], and Bryan Hiebert [IAEVG President] in 2007.

Excel - Copying Over Values Only

I've been working in excel lately for the SkillsPlus assessments where I've used equations to sum up and average scores for each participant. In order to provide an overview of scores I had to transfer scores from individual pages. As this score were derived from equations, when copying and pasting, you need to right click the pasted cell and select "value only" otherwise your just copying over the equation .
