The syntax of switch function =SWITCH(Value , Value to match1 , Value to return if there's a match1, ..., Value to return if there's no match at all) Example using switch = SWITCH ( B1 , 1 , "very bad" , 2 , "bad" , 3 , "normal" , 4 , "good" , 5 , "very good" ) To make those function clear for you, you can look at the above real example spreadsheet.

Basically if you want to lookup and retrieve data from a specific range of column in a table you can either using LOOKUP, VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP. In this article i am going to show you an example of using VLOOKUP. The syntax of VLOOKUP function as you can see in this example : = VLOOKUP ( B3 , D2:E4 , 2 , 0 ) To make it clear what the above function look on a real spreadsheet with real data,  you can look at this picture below. What is LOOKUP And VLOOKUP function VLOOKUP is a Spreadsheet function to lookup and retrieve data from a specific column in table.

Navicat Logo It's a difficult thing when you need to transfer data between two different database systems. It's even difficult when SQL server is one of the databases. For me SQL server is the worst in terms of making our job done quickly. lots of constraints violation, identity violation, will occur so often that it can frustrated lots of people Transferring between two database often can take time.

Open all the objects/tables on mysql 4. Select which table you want to transfer 5. Right click then export wizard 6. Export format CSV, next 7.  Click the triangle on select all

WinSCP Free FTP SFTP File Transfer For Windows When editing code or script on live production server, we use an FTP program if the server we are using doesn't have graphical user interface, like most Linux distribution server. Using FTP client such WinSCP can help us doing downloading, uploading real quick and practice. We don't need to type Linux command, using graphical user interface usually we just need to navigate which our local location and which to put it on the path location on the server. Deploying PHP and Javascript codes to production server can be done instantly, we don't need to compile them because it's scripting language. The best FTP client i found so far is WinSCP. It's really easy to use, fast response, navigating to directory tree is really quick. To connect with your remote server, you can either use SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3 and SCP. Just create new connection using the configuration you have and start managing your file on the

Photo by Julia Joppien on Unsplash It's only me, or all of those tech blogs out there in the world are a complete useless. Don’t get me wrong, even this blog included, it's shitty. I don’t want defending myself, i also feel that this blog can’t give you relevant information based on what you need, or what your interests. We don’t have that kind of technology to detect and provide you something like that. Instead we are just keep writing as we can and forget about what can make user feel satisfied. This and all the tech blogs in the world can not survive if we only posted quality content. It’s not that people don’t like quality content, but judging what it is a quality content is relative. Different people, different moods, different ideology. To perfectly give what people want from a blog is not possible, the technology that’s being used on any blog in the world is still primitive.

MySQL Workbench, SSMS and Navicat Managing database can not be done by just using simple command line queries. Sometimes it's to complicated so we need to have a graphical user interface to get things done with our database. Wit a management tool, you can do many database operations much more quickly, you can just navigate to different menus and buttons that are available on the program you are using. Here are my top three favorite database management system I usually use when I need to be doing some database operations. 1. MySQL Workbench It's kind of like the official database  management tool for MySQL. It quit comprehensive on doing some database stuff. It can only be used if you are using MySQL database, well maybe you can use it for MariaDB, which two databases have no significance differences. But from my experience. I have tried basic functionalities like queries, schema design only. I am not sure if it can be compatible for more advanced operations.

Opera Browser, modern and fast internet browser Browser is one of the most commonly used form of application by many people while they're using their computer. Such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera Browser. Those are the major browser most people know. I don't have them all on my computer because mainly I'll just stick with only one browser that I like, because it’s practice and fast. I have 3 browsers, but I only use either Chrome or Opera, because those are in my opinion the best for some reasons. Browser enable us to access the internet by just specifying a URL we want to visit, put it on the address bar and hit enter. Or if you don’t know what the URL of the website is, by just typing on the address bar whatever topic and it will search it for you by known search engines such as Google or Bing, they will provide you bunch of website you can visit that match what you are looking for.

Web Programmer - Image by TeeFarm from Pixabay I am not a pro web programmer, but I've been in this industry for about 5 years now, I think it's quite enough experiences to have some lesson learned along my career. I do both for front end and back end development, so these tips are for you if you are just starting your career on web programming on those areas. 1. Always finish the task, never postpone In any situation, if you postpone something it's going to be really hard to start, so you will waste a lot of time if you are not trying to finish the task right now.

So the problems can only be fixed if you fix the other first, that could end up in a long chain of codes. 2. Focus on the output, not on the codes Whatever th

Java IDE Intellij, Netbeans, Eclipse, VS Code Programming in Java can be easily done with just a text editor, because the Object oriented style, and namespace, etc, make it's hard to write all the codes by our hand, we need a little bit of help of an IDE, often we need very advanced IDE in order to make it easy for the development process. Unlike an interpreted language like Python, which you don't need to compile it to test the results, so every code changes you can look the output right away, Java is compiled language, it's gonna be time consuming if you are not using any tool, so every small changes you should compile it first to know the exact results. With IDE, they will tell you a usually red notification if there's an error on your codes so before you compile the code you can fix it first. Below are some JAVA IDE options you can choose for your Java development IDE. 1. Intellij IDEA In my opinion the best Java IDE in the world, and probably the best ID
