How do I turn on the number lock on a Dell Latitude E5540?

To turn on the number lock (Num Lock) on a Dell Latitude E5540, locate the "Num Lock" key on the keyboard, which is typically found in the top row of keys or as a secondary function on the "F11" key. Press the "Num Lock" key to activate it. You may see a light indicator on the key or keyboard itself confirming that Num Lock is enabled. If your keyboard has a numeric keypad, the numeric functions will now work.


Is it true that the SUM function ignores cells that contain text when their cell references are included as arguments?

Yes, that is true. The SUM function in Excel and similar spreadsheet applications only adds numeric values and ignores cells that contain text or are empty. If a cell reference included in the SUM function points to text, that text will not affect the result of the summation.


Which formula can add the all the numeric values in a range of cells ignoring those which are not numeric and place the resulting a different cell?

You can use the 'SUM function'. Suppose you have data in cells A1 to A5 and you want to display the sum of the numbers in cell A6, then in cell A6 type: =SUM(A1:A5) (Note; non numerical values will be ignored). Please see the Excel help entry for SUM function for additional information.


What is a NumLock on keyboard and why doesn't the light go off?

NumLock, short for Numeric Lock, is a key on a keyboard that toggles the numeric keypad between two modes: number entry and navigation functions. When NumLock is activated, the numeric keypad inputs numbers; when deactivated, it allows for cursor movement and other functions. If the NumLock light doesn't go off, it may indicate a hardware issue, a software glitch, or that the key was not properly toggled off due to a malfunctioning key or keyboard driver.

How many kilometers are in a degree of longitude?

Lines of longitude are not parallel. They all converge at both the North Pole and the South Pole. Therefore there is no numeric constant to this value. The maximum distance represented by one degree of longitude, measured along a line of latitude (that is, parallel to the Equator), would be approximately 40,076 km divided by 360, or 111.3 km (69.2 mi).


What is at Longitude 55 degrees west latitude 99 degrees north?

This point is undefined, since there is no latitude of 99 degrees, neither north nor south.Zero latitude is the equator, the poles are each 90 degrees, and that's really as far as you can go.* If we reverse the numeric values to the proper form, 55°N and 99°W, it indicates a location near Thompson, Manitoba (north of Winnipeg).


What is latitude and longitude of Guyana?

Guyana is located on the northern coast of South America.Since using latitude and longitude give you a specific cross-point (the intersection of the latitudinal and longitudinal lines), it is difficult to give a latitude and longitude of the state of Guyana.I can give you the lat. and long. of capitol of Guyana--Georgetown. That is:6046'N 58010'W (read as six degrees, 46 minutes North [of the equator], and fifty-eight degrees, 10 minutes West [of the Prime Maridian]). Note: that when a city Lat and Long is given, it generally locates where the City Offices are located--not the center of the city.The above answer was given in the format: degrees/minutes/seconds (with no numeric value given for 'seconds', so that number is not stated).To be really, really vague--I found a latitude and longitude for Guyana:5º 00' N and 59º 00' Wclick on the link added to this answer and you can find other locations in Guyana, with latitudes and longitudes given.


What are some of the advantages of alpha-numeric?

Alpha-numeric systems, which combine letters and numbers, offer several advantages. They increase the complexity and variety of codes, making them more secure and less susceptible to guesswork compared to purely numeric systems. Additionally, alpha-numeric codes can convey more information in a shorter format, enhancing usability and memorability in applications like passwords and identifiers. This versatility makes them suitable for various fields, including computing, logistics, and finance.
