Fix: Run macro based on cell contents if cell changes

 To run a macro based on the contents of a cell whenever the cell changes, you can use a Worksheet Change event in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Here's how you can set this up:


1. **Open VBA Editor**:

   Press `Alt` + `F11` to open the VBA Editor in Excel.


2. **Insert a Module**:

   If you don't already have a module, insert one by clicking "Insert" > "Module."


3. **Write the Macro**:

   Write the VBA macro that you want to run when the cell contents change. For example, let's create a simple macro to display a message box when the cell `A1` changes:


   ```vba

   Sub MyMacro()

       If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then

           MsgBox "Cell A1 changed!"

       End If

   End Sub

   ```


4. **Set Up Worksheet Change Event**:

   In the VBA Editor, find the worksheet in which you want to trigger the macro. Double-click the worksheet name, and in the code window for that worksheet, enter the following code:


   ```vba

   Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

       If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then

           Call MyMacro

       End If

   End Sub

   ```


   This code sets up a `Worksheet_Change` event that checks if the target cell is `A1` and then calls the `MyMacro` when the cell changes.


5. **Save and Close VBA Editor**:

   Save your workbook, and then close the VBA Editor.


Now, whenever you change the contents of cell `A1`, the `MyMacro` will be executed.


Make sure to adapt the cell reference and the action you want to perform in the macro according to your specific requirements. You can also apply this concept to other worksheets and cells as needed.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
