John Walkenbach sent me a note today:
"Did you see the Excel 2013 help screen for Flash Fill? Who'd you have to sleep with to get your name in there?"
.
He sent me this screenshot. Yep…I'm in there.
.
.
Yes, out of all the names they could have chosen, they chose mine. I'm going to say they chose me for my good looks and talent.
I mean…who else's name would they pick?
.
John Walkenbach? Too hard to spell.
Dick Kuslieka? Too obscene.
Andy Pope? Not Secular Enough.
Debra Dalgleish? Too Canadian.
Jon Peltier? Too French.
Bill Jelen? Too….Bill Jelen.
Chandoo Duga…Naga…Chapr … ah forget it.
.
No my friends. I'm the obvious choice.
.
I told Mrs. Pig that I'm officially famous and that I need an attractive assistant to keep the common rabble away from my person.
She told me to take out the garbage on my way to find one.
It gets better. Moments after sending you that screen shot I ran across this post, from last September:
http://lostinexcel.blogspot.com/2012/09/How-Flash-Fill-Option-Feature-Works-in-excel-2013-with-examples.html
It's like Mike Alexander is the most commonly used name in the world for Flash Fill demos.
Congratulations! You've made it into history
Too Canadian? There's no such thing!

Congrats!
Too funny … and AWESOME.
Hahahaha lets congratulate for the good look, the good talent, and the name not so hard to spell.
The help files are not too good for VBA.
The Excel 2013 developer site was set up on July 16, 2012.
At this site, there resides the Object model VBA programming language. All of the new objects, properties and methods are listed. And, there are ZERO CODE EXAMPLES that have been added since it was created. Since Microsoft is now selling this product, don't you think that it is about time to show people that might be interested some examples of how to effectively use the new objects, properties and methods. Since there are Excel PMs that contribute to this site, I would expect more than just a shallow response to this inquiry. I repeat, there has been NO updates to this site since it was created. It's sort of like buying a fully-loaded Mercedes-Benz that comes with no owners manual.
Reference to Excel PMs was when this was inteded for official MS Excel blog. Feel free to edit.
