digital notes guide part 2/5: taking effective lecture notes (but make them cute!) 🎀

1st post

posted by: glowettee

hey study butterflies! ♡ mindyyyyy hereeeee

welcome back to our digital notes series! today i'm going more into the actual note-taking process during lectures/classes. this is important, since you can swap out notebooks for a digital notebook which becomes a lot more seamless.

♡ pre-lecture prep

because being prepared changes everything:

night before setup:

review previous notes (refresh your memory!)

pre-read lecture slides

create note template

set up quick-access tools

prepare questions

charge all devices

quick-access toolbar:

highlighting shortcuts

screenshot tool ready

recording software open

reference materials linked

custom stickers folder

favorite templates

♡ the actual note-taking method

this changed my whole study game:

(SUPER IMPORTANT) the butterfly method (my signature system):

main points in center

supporting details on left wing

examples on right wing

questions in antennae section

vocabulary in body section

connections in trail section

active engagement tricks:

use different colors for different types of information

create mini mind maps as you go

add little drawings for visual memory

insert voice memos for complex topics

flag confusing points with cute markers

leave space for post-lecture additions

♡ making it aesthetic but effective

because why not have both?:

visual organization:

use boxes for definitions

clouds for main concepts

stars for important points

hearts for memorable examples

arrows for connections

flowers for chapter markers

color coding system:

pink for main concepts

lavender for examples

mint for definitions

peach for formulas

baby blue for dates

gold for important warnings

♡ dealing with fast-paced lectures

because professors/teachers love to speed-talk:

shorthand system:

create cute abbreviations

use symbols for common words

develop personal code system

quick bullet points

voice record if allowed

flag for later review

quick capture methods:

screenshot important slides

quick sketch diagrams

voice memo key points

type keywords only

mark confusion points

flag for detailed review

♡ post-lecture enhancement

because the real magic happens after:

immediate review:

fill in gaps while fresh

add pretty headings

organize messy sections

insert relevant images

complete examples

link related concepts

enhancement techniques:

create summary boxes

add practice questions

insert related resources

make concept connections

highlight key points

add memory triggers

effective notes aren't just about capturing everything - they're about creating a resource you'll actually want to review! think of it like creating your own aesthetic textbook that speaks your language.

pro tip: don't try to make everything perfect during the lecture. focus on capturing information first, make it pretty later! i usually spend 15 minutes after each lecture prettifying my notes.

xoxo, mindy 🎀

Note

I appreciate you actually trying Ellipsis. I've seen it recommended, but no one has really given any examples of what it does. It's nice to see that there are different themes, which is helpful as someone who is light sensitive.

How is the feel of it? Does it feel intuitive?

I'm really enjoying it so far. There are plenty of interesting features I have yet to try out. There is apparently a new feature for exporting to AO3, for instance. And there are two dark modes and a sepia tone mode for those who are light sensitive.

It took a little poking around and trying different things to figure out the many draft options and how you compare changes and merge those, but I found it a lot more intuitive than some other word processors I've looked into, like Scrivener. And they do give you a guide when you start-up that is included in your projects homepage (I just like discovering things for myself), so there's that for reference if you do get stuck.

More pictures and rambling under the cut!

Here's the main homepage once you log in to your account. Here you can view all your different projects.

Mostly, everything looks very familiar once you get into the project. I find the screen to be a bit busy at first, but both side panels are collapsible. And then if you really want to pare things down, you can use focus mode. This is the teacup icon next to the word count, which isn't labeled unless you hover your cursor over it (a few buttons are like that).

The left panel is where you have your different drafts, basically different versions of the same document that you can change, compare, and later merge as you want. I'm really excited about this feature in particular because I love starting a dozen drafts of the same story and then later Frankenstein-ing them together.

The right panel is mostly for document settings and formatting (basically what Word and Google Docs put across the top of the screen) as well as exporting in various formats. The toolbar along the bottom is a quick access for your most commonly used formatting needs.

As you can see, focus mode takes that all away and really is just about a very seamless, clean view of your document. I find this great for working in. The lack of busyness helps me, personally, but I can still access the document outline (top right icon) from here for easy navigation.

It doesn't take you to a fullscreen view, though, which I've seen some other options do. I prefer this, because I like to listen to music as I write, and I don't want to be constantly switching back and forth from fullscreen to access my browser tabs and change music, pause, etc.

So yeah! I'd say try it out and see if you like it. It is still in beta, I believe, but I like their stance on generative AI. And it has so far made a good alternative to Google Docs, so we'll see how it goes as I continue using it and as they continue making changes!

↬ OC Verse Trading Cards

Here it is! The reason (well, one of the reasons) for why I've been so inactive lately. I saw this super cool trading card template by @squea and @buttertrait and thought it was super fun, so I wanted to make something similar for my mutuals and myself. And, as you can see, I rediscovered my love for art deco on the way, so it's very art deco lol

You can find the template to make your own cards here - and I explicitly encourage you to make your own, because I was kinda hoping I would get to see cards of you guys' OCs and we could collect them all in a binder like this one. It would be really fun! (The number next to the name is the power level btw - I wanted to imitate a set of Star Wars trading cards I used to collect as a kid) Make sure to @ me when you do and tag your post with #ocversetradingcards!

I tried to make the template as accessible as possible so that even beginners should be able to use it without any issues. So, I color-coded the layers!

The red layers are ones you shouldn't touch. They make up the main frame of the card. The orange layers are ones where you can play around with the colors, but that's for advanced photoshop/photopea users. The green ones are the ones where you put in text! Edit those freely. Blue ones are ones you have to select and move as a batch - if you don't know how to do that, check below the cut ^^

You'll need to download these fonts:

Park Lane (name & power level)

Market Deco (main text font)

Artisual Deco Black Italic (blog url)

Below the cut, you'll find a tutorial for the template and a list of the image resources I used - Quick info for everyone, including the more experienced Photopea users: Save your image at 50% quality. The template is a big file and the exported image will also be pretty big if you don’t save it at a lower quality. 50% is what you can see above and I think it's a nice size-quality ratio.

Tutorial Time

Opening the File

Step one: Get either Photoshop or Photopea. Photoshop costs money, Photopea is free and runs in your browser. Take three guesses which one I use. Yeah, it's Photopea. As such, this tutorial will be Photopea-centric, and I also have no clue what the Photoshop interface looks like, so I can't really help you if you work on Photoshop. But I'm told they're essentially the same, so...

Step two: Download the fonts listed above from the links in this post.

Step three: Click on the link above to go download the template. It's a bit of a big file, so I put it into a zip file for you. Don't worry, you don't need a special program to open it. Photopea will do that for you.

Step four: Open Photopea. Click on "File" -> "Open..." and select the "TradingCardTemplate" zip file.

Step five: Click "File" -> "Open..." again and select the zip files for the fonts. This will import them to Photopea. There are also preview images included in at least one of the zip files for the fonts, so just close the windows for those projects when they pop up by clicking on the little "x" next to their file name. You only need the "TradingCardTemplate.psd" tab to be open in your Photopea window.

Great! Now you're all set to edit!

Editing the name, power level and blog url

I decided to group these together because they function essentially the same way

Step one: Select the typing tool. It's the little "T" symbol in the toolbar on the left side of your screen.

Step two: Select the layer of the text you want to edit. The blog url one is in plain view. For the name and power ones, you need to open the corresponding folders first. They're the green layers in the folders!

Step three: Click on the text you want to edit. It's easiest to aim for the middle, that way you have the least chances of missing. The typing tool is a bit finicky with that sometimes, especially if the text is small.

Great! Now you can use your keyboard to delete the placeholder text and replace it with your own! The power level will only fit two digits and picking "00" will look bad. Your OC should have at least some power. They need it to breathe.

Changing the size of the name text

As you might be able to tell, the basic text size only works for fairly short names. So, you might have to make it smaller for your OC's name to fit

Step one: Enter your OC's name as described above.

Step two: Select the text as you would anywhere else in your browser.

Step three: Above the little tag where it says "TradingCardTemplate.psd", there's an options bar. You'll find a box there labelled "Size" with a box that says "150px" and a down arrow next to it. Click on the down arrow and a slider will pop up. Play around with that slider until your text has a good size. Then click on the checkmark.

Step four: Switch to the transformation tool. It's the cursor with the directional cross next to it, at the top of your left-hand tool bar. Move your text so that it aligns well with the left side of the frame but make sure it's below the middle.

Step five: You now have to select two layers at once. The text layer and the frame for the name tag. Do do that, either press and hold your control key on your keyboard while selecting the other layer or toggle the control key using the on-screen keyboard at the bottom left of the toolbar. If you use the toggle, don't forget to untoggle it after.

Step six: On your horizontal toolbar above your project window, click on the icon that's a horizontal line with two boxes centered on it.

Congrats, your text should now be centered!

Adding in your OC picture

Step one: Open the "Picture" folder and select the layer beneath "Add picture here". This will make sure your picture will be in the right spot. Also make sure to click on the eye next to the "Pattern" layer tag to make it go invisible.

Step two: Select "File" -> "Open & Place..." and pick a nice image.

Step three: Once the image has been imported, make sure you change the zoom percentage to 100%, that way the image doesn't look pixely or weird. Click on the checkmark.

Step four: Resize your image so your OC fits nicely into the frame. The image should fill the entire space inside the frame and can stick out as much as you want.

Step five: Right-click (or press and hold, if you're on mobile) your image' layer and select "Clipping Mask".

Perfect! Now your image should no longer stick out of the frame. Feel free to adjust your image's coloration, brightness etc. by selecting "Image" -> "Adjustments" and your preferred action.

Changing your stats bars

This works the same for each bar and I tried to make it as simple as possible.

Step one: Open the corresponding folder.

Step two: Select the set of three blue layers together. You can do this by selecting one layer normally, then selecting the other two while holding your control key or while having it toggled using the built-in on-screen mini keyboard at the bottom left of your screen. If you use the toggle, don't forget to untoggle it after.

Step three: Switch to the transformation tool (the one at the top of your left-hand toolbar, it's a cursor with a directional cross) and move your layers. By moving them to the right, you'll reveal more of the gold underneath the overlay. More gold = higher level of the corresponding stat.

Great job! Now adjust the bars to your liking.

Saving your project + card image

To save the project: Click on "File" -> "Save as PSD". This will download the current project under the same name as the file that you downloaded it as. So, it will be called "TradingCardTemplate (1)" or something similar. Make sure you change the name in your files so you know which is which. Alternatively, you can also change the name of the project by double-clicking the little square that currently says "TradingCardTemplate" and type in your new name. If you save again now, it will show the new project name! Make sure to save your project if you want to be able to recover it and/or work on it later!

To save the card image: Click on "File" -> "Export as >" and pick your preferred image file type. I suggest JPG for best results. Make sure to turn the quality slider to 50%, then hit the save button. This will download an image file of your chosen type, under the same name as the project name. To change that name, refer to the bullet point above or go to your files :)

Advanced: Changing the BG color of the pattern

Step one: Select the pattern background of either the name tag, power score or picture and turn it to 100% opacity.

Step two: Color-pick the current background color of the pattern.

Step three: Click "Image" -> "Adjustments" -> "Replace Color..." and click on the colored rectangle in the new pop-up. Replace the default color with your color-picked color. Now use the Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders to get a new color that you like. Note down your slider values for later so you have them for the other elements.

Step four: Color-pick your new color and select the corresponding solid background layer. For those layers, click "Edit" -> "Fill..." and make sure you have "Foreground" and "Normal" selected, your Opacity is 100% and you have "Preserve Transparency" checked.

Step five: Don't forget to turn the opacity of your pattern layers back down to 60%.

Congrats! You have your colors changed! Repeat this process for the other two patterned elements.

Extra advanced: Changing the card's background color

NOTE: I DON'T recommend this. You can do it, but it's a lot of work.

Step one: Select the background layer and change its color to the new color you want. You can do it with the "Hue/Saturation..." adjustment, with the "Fill" edit as described above, or whichever way you want. Color-pick your new color.

Step two: Open the smart object PSDs for the frames for the frames for the picture, the name tag, and the power counter by double-clicking on the preview image of the layer.

Step three: Select the lowest colored layer of each and change its color to the same as your new card background color. Click on "File" -> "Save (Smart Object)". Close the project windows.

Step four: Open the folders for the various stat bars and select the "Color Overlay" layers. Change their colors the same way you did for the other layers. Warm colors and high-saturation colors will most likely not look good here and you might need to find a different way of making the stat bars look good. Playing around with the "Brightness/Contrast" adjustment layers above might help, but I can't promise anything. This is the main reason why I don't recommend changing the card background color. The stats bars are adjusted to the background color.

There we are! Either your card looks very pretty now or you understand why I don't recommend this. Either way: Good job!

How to See Resistance and Support in TradingView

In the world of trading, the concepts of resistance and support levels are fundamental to understanding market movements and making informed decisions. TradingView, a popular charting platform used by traders worldwide, offers a comprehensive set of tools and indicators to help traders identify these critical levels. Here's a guide on how to see resistance and support in TradingView:

Step 1: Choose Your Chart First, select the asset you want to analyze on TradingView. You can do this by entering the name or ticker of the asset in the search bar at the top of the platform.

Step 2: Select the Timeframe Choose an appropriate timeframe for your analysis. Timeframes can range from 1 minute to 1 month, depending on your trading strategy. Short-term traders might prefer shorter timeframes, while long-term investors might look at daily or weekly charts.

Step 3: Use Trend Lines To identify resistance and support levels, you can use the Trend Line tool in TradingView. Click on the Trend Line icon (it looks like a diagonal line) in the toolbar on the left side of the screen. Then, draw a line connecting the price highs to identify resistance, and another line connecting the price lows to identify support.

Step 4: Apply Horizontal Lines For more defined levels, use the Horizontal Line tool in the toolbar. Place a horizontal line at a price level where the asset has shown difficulty in moving above (resistance) or below (support). These levels often indicate where buyers or sellers are concentrated.

Step 5: Incorporate Indicators TradingView offers various indicators that can help identify resistance and support levels. The Moving Average, Fibonacci Retracement, and Volume Profile are popular choices. To add an indicator, click on the "Indicators" button at the top of the screen and search for the one you want to use.

Step 6: Analyze Price Action Pay attention to how the price reacts around these levels. Resistance or support is confirmed when the price bounces off these levels multiple times. The more times the price touches these levels without breaking through, the stronger they are considered.

Step 7: Monitor Breakouts or Breakdowns A breakout (price moves above resistance) or breakdown (price moves below support) can signal a potential trend change. Use TradingView's alert system to notify you when the price crosses these critical levels.

Exploring TradingView Alternatives: FastBull

While TradingView is a popular choice among traders, it's always beneficial to explore alternatives. FastBull is an emerging platform that offers a range of features for market analysis. Here's what makes FastBull stand out:

User-Friendly Interface FastBull is designed with simplicity in mind, making it accessible to both novice and experienced traders. Its intuitive interface allows for easy navigation and quick access to essential features.

Real-Time Data and Alerts The platform offers real-time market data and customizable alerts, ensuring traders stay updated with the latest market movements and can react promptly to trading opportunities.

Social Trading Features FastBull incorporates social trading elements, allowing users to follow and interact with other traders. This community aspect can offer valuable insights and foster a sense of camaraderie among users.

Mobile Accessibility Recognizing the need for on-the-go access, FastBull offers a mobile app that delivers the full functionality of its desktop platform, ensuring traders can monitor the markets and execute trades from anywhere.

Conclusion

while TradingView remains a top choice for many traders, platforms like FastBull are providing compelling alternatives that cater to the evolving needs of the trading community. Whether you stick with TradingView or explore FastBull, the key is to use the tools and resources available to enhance your trading strategy and decision-making process.

How to Remove Image background Remove

Open Adobe Photoshop and import the image you want to edit.

Make sure the Layers panel is visible (if not, go to "Window" > "Layers" to open it).

Duplicate the original image layer by dragging it to the "New Layer" icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. This step is important for non-destructive editing.

Select the duplicate layer.

Choose the "Quick Selection Tool" from the toolbar on the left side (or press "W" on your keyboard to activate it). It's represented by a brush with a dotted circle around it.

Adjust the brush size in the options bar at the top according to your image's details.

Click and drag over the foreground area you want to keep. The tool will automatically select the area based on color and texture.

If you accidentally select areas you want to remove, hold the Alt/Option key and drag over those areas to deselect them.

Refine the selection using the "Select and Mask" feature. You can access it by right-clicking on the selection and choosing "Select and Mask" from the context menu. This step helps to fine-tune the selection edges for better results.

In the "Select and Mask" dialog box, experiment with the available tools like "Refine Edge Brush," "Brush Tool," and "Smart Radius" to adjust the selection. Use the preview options to see how it looks against different backgrounds.

Once you're satisfied with the selection, click "OK" to exit the "Select and Mask" dialog box.

With the selection still active, click on the "Layer Mask" button at the bottom of the Layers panel. It looks like a white rectangle with a gray circle in the center.

The background should now be transparent, and you can add a new background layer or leave it as is.

Save your image in a format that supports transparency, such as PNG, to preserve the background removal.

Remember, this method works best for images with clear foreground/background separation. For more complex images, you may need to explore additional tools and techniques, such as the Pen Tool or the Background Eraser Tool, to achieve better results.

computer woes. this morning my laptop needed to be restarted in order to wake up. this happens about once a week, and is a PITA but usually everything comes back if I give it time. This morning... "restore session" worked... sortof... except, aaaaaalllllll my bookmarks are gone, history zilch, not even a functioning bookmarks bar or ability to make a new bookmark. "for quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar" yeah, I had done that, but now they are all pffft and I can't put them there, nothing happens. SIGH. good thing I have a "current tabs" document where I used to dump all my current tabs before doing a restart. at least a few things were there. and I have used things like this and dreamwidth recently enough to still be logged in when I search them up. But allll my gobotany bookmarks from last summer are vaporized. I knew I should have done a proper full backup some time at the beginning of the year. SIGH.

anyway. just venting. I will survive, but my trust in tech is down the tubes. do I even want to get another machine when this one doesn't come back from a restart?

MS Office Legal and Corporate - That’s How You Know…

Scenario: We are given a rather large document filled with Defined Terms (“NYSE”) as an example. As you know, Defined Terms establish a “short cut” so that after using the full term such as in our example “New York Stock Exchange” after the first full mention, we define it and for the remainder of the document, we can refer to that entity in its shortened form thus the use of (“NYSE”). The document was submitted with heavy edits to be done.

During the course of editing, the operator came across the request to please change all the Defined Terms to Bold Italic instead of the current Bold Font. There was numerous instances and the operator started looking for them one by one and making the requested change.

Another operator asked whether the Defined Terms were done with Character Styles or with Direct Formatting. “How would I know” responded the person doing the edits.

We can quickly ascertain the answer in a few ways. One way, is to load your “Style Box” on your “Quick Access Tool Bar” Go to File, Options, Customize Quick Access Tool Bar, change Popular Commands over to “All Commands” and look for the word “Style” by itself with no icon to the left of the word style. Add it to the right side panel of your Customize Quick Access Toolbar Window, and it will now appear on your Quick Access Toolbar.

The other way is to bring up your Apply Style Toolbar “Control Shift S”. This will give you a style box at the top window as well. Yes, you can see what style your right side panel jumps to as well.

Here is how you know whether character styles were used:

If you place your cursor within a paragraph that contains a Defined Term using an attribute such as bold, your style box will show the name of your Paragraph Style initially when placing the cursor on non Defined Term material.

If you then click on one of your Defined Terms the style name should now switch to the “Character Style” being used to bold the term. If there was no Character Style used on the Bolded Defined Term meaning “Direct Formatting” was used, then the style box will continue to show the Paragraph Style only.

If a Character Style was used to Bold all of the Defined Terms then we would simply modify the style and in our case, change it from Bold to Bold Italic and all instances throughout the document would change right away. You would also want to update the name of the style to show the added attribute to the modified style such as Bold-Italic Defined Term.

Note: Yes, you can do a global to take care of this but you have to be comfortable with wild cards. I did cover this in my wild card book MS Word Legal - Search, Replace and Wildcards which can be found on Amazon under my name. Either way, you should be familiar with the concepts that were covered in this article and it is a good thing to have the style box on your Quick Access Toolbar to serve as an easy way to always know the style your cursor is resting within.

Effective data organization is crucial in Google Sheets, and indenting plays a key role in achieving that. Whether you're managing a budget, tracking project tasks, or organizing complex data, clear visual hierarchy enhances readability and understanding. Indenting allows you to create nested structures, visually distinguish data, and highlight key information. This guide will cover practical methods for indenting in Google Sheets, beyond the standard toolbar button. We'll explore: - The quick and easy method using the 'Increase Indent' button. - Achieving precise control through the 'Format' menu. - The limitations of manual indenting with spaces, and why it is not suggested. - Advanced techniques like indenting with custom number formats for structured displays. - Dynamic indenting using formulas for data-driven hierarchies. Plus, we'll provide tips and best practices to help you leverage indentation for optimal spreadsheet organization, regardless of your skill level. Manual Indentation with Spaces: A Quick but Limited Approach While Google Sheets offers robust indentation through custom number formats, some users might consider manually indenting cells by typing spaces. While seemingly straightforward, this method has significant limitations. However, there are a few scenarios where it might be considered. How to Manually Indent: Simply place your cursor within the cell and press the spacebar repeatedly to create the desired indentation. 👍 Pros: - Quick and Simple: For a very small number of cells, it's a fast and direct approach. - No Menu Navigation: It doesn't require navigating through menus or understanding format codes. ⚠️ Cons: - Inconsistency: The width of spaces can vary depending on the font and size, leading to inconsistent indentation. - Formatting Issues: It can disrupt alignment and cause formatting problems when sorting or manipulating data. - Time-Consuming: For larger datasets, manually adding spaces becomes highly inefficient. - Lack of Control: You have limited control over the precise amount of indentation. - Difficult to Maintain: If you change the font or size, the indentation may look uneven. - Accessibility Issues: Screen readers may not interpret the spaces as intended, which can create confusion for visually impaired users. When This Method Might Be Used: - Very Small Datasets: If you have only a few cells to indent and don't anticipate further formatting changes, it might be a quick fix. - Temporary Formatting: If you need to make a quick, temporary visual adjustment and don't care about consistency. - Non-Critical Data: If the data is not critical and doesn't require precise formatting, manual indentation might suffice. Important Note: Despite these limited use cases, it's strongly recommended to use custom number formats or formulas for reliable and consistent indentation in Google Sheets. Manual indentation with spaces should generally be avoided due to its inherent limitations and potential for formatting problems. Indenting with Custom Number Formats for Precise Control For consistent and reliable indentation in Google Sheets, the most effective method is using custom number formats. This technique provides precise control over the indent amount and ensures uniformity throughout your spreadsheet. How to Indent Using Custom Number Formats: - Select the cell(s) you wish to indent. (Refer to step 1 in the image). - Navigate to the 'Format' menu and choose 'Number' followed by 'More Formats' and then 'Custom number format'. (Refer to steps 2 and 3 in the image). - In the custom format box, enter the desired number of spaces before the format code. For example, to create a three-space indent, you would enter three spaces followed by the format code (e.g., ' @' for text). (Refer to step 4 in the image). - Click 'Apply' to implement the custom format. (Refer to step 5 in the image). Visual Example: Benefits of Using Custom Number Formats: - Precise Control: You can specify the exact amount of indentation. - Consistency: The indentation will be uniform across all cells with the same format. - Reliability: Unlike manual spacing, this method avoids formatting inconsistencies. - Can be used with text and numbers Limitations: - Requires understanding of format codes: Some users might find it challenging to learn and apply custom format codes. - Not as visually intuitive as a simple button: It involves navigating through menus. When to Use This Method: Use custom number formats when you need consistent indentation, especially for structured data or when creating reports that require a polished look. Important Note: Avoid manually indenting with spaces. This method is unreliable and can lead to formatting issues. Custom number formats offer a much more robust and professional approach. Indenting with a Formula (Using CHAR(32)) For precise and consistent indentation using formulas, the CHAR(32) function provides a reliable approach. This method is particularly useful when you need to ensure that spaces are rendered consistently, regardless of font or system settings. Using the CHAR(32) Function for Indentation: The CHAR(32) function returns the space character, ensuring that it is always interpreted correctly. Formula Example: 1️⃣ In the cell where you want to apply indentation, enter the following formula:=CHAR(32)&CHAR(32)&"Keyword Ranking" - CHAR(32): This part inserts a single space character. - &: This operator concatenates the spaces and the text "Keyword Ranking". - "Keyword Ranking": This is the text you want to indent. - 2️⃣ Adjust the number of spaces: Add or remove CHAR(32) instances to change the indentation level. Using ARRAYFORMULA() for Column-Wide Indentation: To apply this method to an entire column, use ARRAYFORMULA(): =ARRAYFORMULA(CHAR(32)&CHAR(32)&B:B) - ARRAYFORMULA(...): Applies the formula to the entire column. - CHAR(32)&CHAR(32): Inserts two spaces. - &B:B: Concatenates the spaces with the content of column B. Benefits of Formula-Based Indentation (Using CHAR(32)): - Consistency: Ensures consistent space characters, regardless of font or system. - Reliability: Avoids potential issues with variable space widths. - Column-Wide Application: Efficiently applies indentation to entire columns using ARRAYFORMULA(). - Dynamic adjustment: by changing the amount of CHAR(32) in the formula, the indentation can be changed. Limitations: - Formula Complexity: Requires understanding of CHAR() and ARRAYFORMULA() functions. - Readability: Formulas with multiple CHAR(32) instances can become lengthy. When to Use This Method: - When you need to ensure consistent indentation across different systems or fonts. - When you want to automate the indentation process for large datasets. - When you need to create dynamic indentation structures. Note: You can modify the number of CHAR(32) instances to adjust the indentation level. You can also use cell references or other functions to create dynamic indentation based on cell values. In Summary: Mastering indentation in Google Sheets is essential for creating organized, readable, and professional spreadsheets. As we've explored, while manual indentation using spaces might seem like a quick fix, it's prone to inconsistencies and formatting issues. 💡For reliable and precise control, custom number formats offer the most effective solution. By navigating through the 'Format' menu and entering spaces within the format code, you can achieve uniform indentation across your data. 💡For automated and dynamic indentation, formulas using CHAR(32) and ARRAYFORMULA() provide powerful capabilities, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex hierarchies. Whether you're managing data here in Cyprus, or anywhere else in the world, these techniques will help you elevate your spreadsheet skills and create visually appealing, well-structured documents. Remember, consistent formatting ensures clarity and efficiency, allowing you to focus on the insights your data provides, rather than struggling with its presentation. Read the full article
