Install sqlcmd on Mac OS X

In case you need to run SQL Server scripts from your Mac, do the following to install (NOTE: I use HomeBrew.):

    • From the terminal, type:

brew tap microsoft/mssql-release https://github.com/Microsoft/homebrew-mssql-release
ACCEPT_EULA=y brew install --no-sandbox msodbcsql mssql-tools

    • You should see something like in the screenshot. Type “YES” if prompted and be on your way.
    • Once done, type:

sqlcmd

Firefox: “You are not authorized to view this page” when connecting to intranet

In case you get the error below when connecting to your Windows-based intranet using Firefox, here’s the fix:

1. In your toolbar, type “about:config
2. Search for “network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1” and set it to “true
3. That’s it. When you access the site, it will now ask you to enter your domain creds

You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.

Please try the following:

Excel: Insert multiple rows every other row

The key is to use a macro.  To do so, hit Alt+F11, then create a new macro and add the code below. Once added, select the worksheet you’d like to process, change the “17” below (1 if to process all rows), then run it.

That’s it.

Sub Insert_Blank_Rows()

    Dim Last As Integer, oRow As Integer
    ‘Count and select rows to process
    Last = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
   
    ’17 is the last row to process (at the top)
    For oRow = Last To 17 Step -1
     If Not Cells(oRow, 1).Value = "" Then
        ‘Copy the line below to as many row insert you need
        ‘in this case, it was 3 row inserts
        Cells(oRow, 1).EntireRow.Insert
        Cells(oRow, 1).EntireRow.Insert
        Cells(oRow, 1).EntireRow.Insert
       End If
    Next oRow

End Sub
