How to preserve custom number formatting after closing a workbook? I have created a custom format ##,##0.0,,, CTRL+J %% in Excel 2010 to display  10000 as 0.1 100000 as 1.0 1000000 as 10.0 10000000 as 100.0 100000000 as 1,000.0 and so forth.  The problem I am facing is that once I apply this format, save and close the workbook, the next time I open it the format gets changed by multiplying by 10 (100000 is displayed as 10.0).  I don't understand how it is getting changed automatically the next time I open it. However, when I apply other formats they remain unchanged. Calculus book recommendations (for complete beginner) Well I have not started calculus yet but I am really keen to. I would love if you suggest some books.  Points to be noted:   I really don't like the way textbooks are written so please no "textbooks"  I am COMPLETELY beginner in calculus. I know a little bit of trigonometry and what functions are but not really in depth.The book should start from the base, I mean really from the base. I may require a precalculus book too if the books don't cover that. I would really love if the book shows how calculus was developed, why it was developed and things like that.   Well,thanks in advance! What does template  mean? A question on limsup Editing/Creating files in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps Maximizing expected value of coin reveal game I was asked this question today in an interview and am still not sure of the answer. The question is as follows.   Part one:  Say I have flipped 100 coins already and they are hidden to you. Now I reveal these coins one by one and you are to guess if it is heads or tails before I reveal the coin. If you get it correct, you get $\$1$. If you get it incorrect, you get $\$0$. I will allow you to ask me one yes or no question about the sequence for free. What will it be to maximize your profit?  My approach for this part of the problem was to ask if there were more heads than tails. If they say yes, I will just guess all heads otherwise I just guess all tails. I know the expected value for this should be greater than 50 but is it possible to calculate the exact value for this? If so, how would you do it?   Part two: Same scenario as before but now I will charge for a question. I will allow you to ask me any amount of yes or no questions as I go through this process for $\$1$. What is your strategy to maximize your profit?  I was not sure about the answer to this part of the question. Would the best option be to guess randomly? I think the expected value of this should be 50. I am not sure about the expected value of part one but if it is greater than 51, I think I could also use that approach. Anyone have a good idea for this part? How do I change login screen theme or background in Ubuntu 20.04? How can I change the Ubuntu 20.04 login screen theme or background?

What is the difference between “within” and “inside”? Here is the definition of the word within from Oxford Dictionary:     inside (something)   So does that mean the two words have no difference, and can be used exchangingly? Is there any connotation that one word can be used but not the other? Solve the recurrence $T(n) = 2T(n-1) + n$ Solve the recurrence  $T(n) = 2T(n-1) + n$ where $T(1) = 1$ and $n\ge 2$.

Get number of unread sms Custom plugin giving: wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 400 (Bad Request) I am having trouble debugging an issue with a plugin that I'm writing. I want to do an Ajax request when a user changes the option on a select input. The thing is it was fully working as expected yesterday, then when I test the website today (no code changes were made at all since yesterday) I'm getting an:   domain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 400 (Bad Request)  message in my Chrome console. If I try in Internet Explorer/FireFox it doesn't give the error in console but the Ajax request is still not working.  The plugin I'm creating is on a DigitalOcean droplet which was made using their one click app for WordPress.  Here is the barebones code I'm using on the plugin for the ajax:  //This is in a class' constructor method add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this, 'plugin_prefix_scripts'));  //PLUGIN_URL is a constant created earlier in the plugin public function plugin_prefix_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script('plugin_prefix_scripts', PLUGIN_URL . 'scripts/frontend_script.js'); wp_localize_script('plugin_prefix_scripts', 'js_object',   array(     'ajax_url' =&gt; admin_url('admin-ajax.php')   ) );   }  frontend_script.js:  $('#plugin-prefix-option-one, #plugin-prefix-option-two').on('change', function() {     var data = {         'action': 'plugin_prefix_page_change',         'option_val': 'some_val',     }      $.post(js_object.ajax_url, data, function(response) {         console.log(response); });   Back in the class:  add_action('wp_ajax_plugin_prefix_page_change', array($this, 'plugin_prefix_page_change'));  public function plugin_prefix_page_change() {     $arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);      wp_send_json($arr);      //I've also tried wp_die() and no die call at all but same outcome     die(); }   I'm unsure how to debug this further. Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks What is a concise function that formats a (String) decimal into a currency format in Apex? How can I delete a (null) app in usage? In my usage list(settings>general>storage &amp; iCloud usage>manage storage), there is an app that registers as (null) with no icon, a version number that doesn't match anything I've previously downloaded, and it's taking up storage space. I first noticed it about a week or two ago. And no, I can't download recent apps to find the one that it is, because I downloaded multiple apps recently, and didn't notice the (null) app until my storage was critically low and I was looking to delete something. I am running iOS 9.2.1 on an iPhone 5C. How do I add a launcher for .sh applications? I have installed ubuntu (11.04).  I installed phpstorm which is simply an archive for you to extract and shove in your /opt directory.  To run it you would use /opt/PhpStorm-103.243/bin/PhpStorm.sh  In unity I had created a launcher on my desktop.  Now I have installed gnome-3(gnome-shell),  And I have nothing in my desktop.  So how do I run phpstorm quickly? Can I get it to show up in "applications"? How can I animate an object fading out? Select from list of reasons when performing downvotes Preamble: I know that 'give a reason when downvoting' is a very common request, and I assure you that I have read these posts and the discussions in them and my request is very different. This isn't about encouraging people to comment and is more about gathering metrics.  I'd like to see a feature whereby people who are downvoted get some better feedback on why they were downvoted, especially given that people rarely leave comments in practice.  So my suggestion is that when user clicks on the downvote, they are prompted to pick from a short list (No more than 5) of common reasons. It would be a popup that replaces the existing "Please consider adding a comment" box.  The user receiving the downvote would see how many people downvoted them for each reason, but not who did it. It would significantly address the issue of people being too lazy to comment or not wanting to comment (for fear of retaliation or any other reason) while helping to ensure the user gets useful feedback.  Perhaps the downvote could also be weighted based on whether or not a reason is picked.  For questions the list might look something like:   Not a question Not relevant to the subject area Trivial question with no research effort Poorly asked question Other   And for answers, this might be:   Nonconstructive or not an answer Incorrect or dangerous answer Poor explanation Doesn't answer the original question Other Splitting pieces of a mesh into a new object I've just made a set of armor by using a male body mesh model I downloaded and selecting certain faces from the model and duplicating them to create viable armor pieces.   Since the pieces are just duplicated from the same mesh male model, then it's still part of the same object.   How do I separate the armor piece from the model to make the pieces separate?
