Gmail introduces Drag & Drop

Drag-and-drop has been implemented into Gmail (Chrome for Windows and Mac) which allows you to drag a file from your computer and either attach it, or as in the case of images, paste into the body of your message.
This feature works quite well and is handy.  Sure beats the add file > browse to file > upload file > attach file process we are all used to.
Of course, if you use Gmail with Mail or other clients that support it, you have always been able to do this.

A nice trick with Apple Mail:

  • Find your file
  • Drag it and drop it on your Mail icon on the dock
  • Mail opens and creates a new message with your file attached ready to be addressed and sent!

(Blank cell) Otherwise, it calculates the years:  DATEDIF( cellReference ,TODAY(),"D")/365.2425) DATEDIF compares two dates. The first date is your cell reference i.e.: (A1) The second is the current date according to your computer, iOS device: TODAY()  returning the Day -  "D" Then the difference is divi...
