📘 Profit as a Function of Quantity Sold 1️⃣ Basic Definition of Profit By definition: Profit = Revenue – Cost This means: 👉 A company makes profit when the money it earns is greater than the money it spends. 2️⃣ What is Revenue? Revenue = Price × Quantity Where: P = price per unit Q = number of units sold So if you sell more units, revenue increases. 3️⃣ What is Cost?

How to Replace Excel’s Boring Dropdown with Something Better FIND AND FILL AS YOU TYPE IN FIELDS “Standards” and “Special Characteristics” Excel’s regular dropdown lists are useful… but let’s be honest — they’re limited. You can’t resize them.You can’t style them.They don’t always feel smooth to use. This VBA solution quietly replaces Excel’s standard dropdown with a smarter one.

Ποτέ δεν είναι η πλέον κατάλληλη ώρα για να κάνετε αλλαγές στη δουλειά ή στο σπίτι. Για να δοκιμάσετε να φτιάξετε, να ζωγραφίσετε, να παίξετε ή να γράψετε κάτι. Και η πιο δύσκολη στιγμή είναι η αρχή. Γι’ αυτό ξεκινήστε σήμερα και να έχετε υπομονή και επιμονή. Γιατί την ικανότητα είτε το ξέρετε είτε δεν το ξέρετε, την έχετε. People underestimate their capacity for change.
