wizard04wsu / multiColumnSelect.css
Last active October 30, 2015 13:58
Format a select box with classname "multiColumnSelect" to emulate columns. The first <optgroup> (which must be empty for the CSS to work correctly) acts as the headings.
select.multiColumnSelect optgroup, select.multiColumnSelect option {
font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;
font-style:normal;
padding-left:3px;
}
select.multiColumnSelect optgroup {
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:underline;
}

wizard04wsu / TradRound.vbs
Last active March 22, 2017 16:37
VBA function to round a number ending in 5 the traditional way, instead of the "round to even" logic. Unfortunately, this is significantly slower.
Function TradRound(val As Double, Optional places As Integer) As Double
Dim divisor As Double
Dim val2 As Double
If IsMissing(places) Then places = 0
divisor = 10 ^ places
val2 = val * divisor - Int(val * divisor)
