I don't care. Deal with it.
Besides, I use Libre.

Yep, my 7th grader has been learning it all year out here. No pivot tables obviously.
I dislike Excel "experts" because a lot of the complicated shite they take pride in seems to be a better use of a database with SQL, or by data sets and sheets that aren't trying to do too much at once.
I figured. We get some young engineers that can do Excel in their sleep.
Agree on the "experts". I also work with engineers that get their jollies creating the most complex Excel sheets that are hard to modify and just don't need to be that complicated.

I don't think the OP is the flex he thinks it is.
In my experiences the higher up the position, the less technically savvy they are with tools like excel.
Interns and low level analysts are the keyboard savants.

Why run shite manually in Excel when processes can be run in DBT on top of Snowflake/BigQuery and ready to be automated with reporting in either Streamlit apps (open source) or Tableau?

Nice baw. Can you start an Excel help thread for us old fogies who have jobs too important to worry about learning pivot tables and macros at this point?

If you're not using a function all-day everyday as part of your job, it's quite easy to forget something or not be up-to-date with changes to a program.

You sure do think highly of yourself. Your mom must be proud

I’m just a cog in the machine brother. I do know for a fact I’m not lazy though, which will get you farther than 90% of people

My problem with excel is, it’s a powerful tool but for basic shite there should be a dumbed down mode or something. I will sneeze and erase a formula somehow and the insert copied cells feature shouldn’t make you re copy every time and should store it on clipboard. Just examples of annoying shite.

Are you too retarded to do a screen recording of yourself doing this simple task and posting it in your OP?

It’s the one thing I didn’t like about Alex. Was so condescending stating the answer when no one got it right. Like he knew every answer and everyone else is dumb for not knowing it. Would have been nice if he had been a contestant and see how he did then.

I pay people like you to do it. The things I do daily make a lot more money than you do.
