Excel 2013 New Features

MS Excel is one of most popular package for every kind of professional in 21st century. I am using this application since 2005 on different ways. I have been worked on excel with Simple tool, Advance tool, macros and VBA applications features.Every Data and Database Professional should know about use of Excel and their features.

Microsoft doing something new and big changes in excel every year. In 2013 there are great and reach set of features introduced, most popular are below:-

1.) Team Menu co-related with TFS (Team Foundation Server)

2.) Data-> From Other Source –> From Windows Azure Market Place.

3.) Insert Menu

a. Bing Map

b. People Graph

c. Screen Short

d. Recommended Pivot Table and Recommended Chart

e. Store

All above are new and good features but I like Bing Map Integration with Excel too much.. Microsoft given end user to use the Bing Map web service to locate their data on Map. This is very easy to use but we require Internet connected.

Just start excel and prepare your data which have to show on map like below…

State	PASS Chapter
Bangalore	1
Delhi	0
Chandigarh	1
Ahmedabad	2
Mumbai	1
Kolkata	0
Hyderabad	1
Chennai	0
Pune	1
Patna	0

Now select the data and click on Insert-Bing MAP

Now the Web service will connect to MAP in few second and will show look like this.Then we have cross the sample data tab and click on Search button.

After that on the basis of data chart will show quickly as below. PASS Chapters Location in India.

Now we can do Zoom in/ out Filter and other activities here.. It was really nice feature added in excel by Microsoft. I remember it was difficult task before till 2010.

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >> Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >> Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757

Reason: The reason of the this error was; some functions of project was dependent on master database and only single database was being deploy to SQL Azure. DACFx must block Export when object definitions (views, procedures, etc.) contain external references, as Azure SQL Database does not allow cross-database external references So, this error was coming.
