I’m good enough to make it do what I want it to do. I use Excel a lot. Infer what you will.

I hope AI can create a program where I can verbally say an excel function or what I want to do & AI can quickly write SQL or other code to execute the job and store the job.
There might be something out like this now - the problem is by the time I looked into it, I would be done doing it in excel.
Being good at excel can be a curse when it comes to data analytics - things SQL could do instantly requires more work & far less clean - I wish I learned SQL first
If you are young and trying to learn excel, make sure you spend a lot of time also learning scripts, SQL and VBA.

I feel you. I’m about to fire a guy if I have to tell him one more time to freeze the panes so the header row is always visible.
We will get on a Teams meeting and he will literally copy the header row to the bottom below the column heading. God forbid we need to look at data in the middle.
Freaking drives me nuts. Never mind his complete disability to use short cut keys.

I honestly don’t even know where to find Excel.
Outside a computer class in HS, I have never used it.

I would make you so miserable. I hate that crap.

Today I asked a client for a list of patients for a project they asked for help on. Instead, I got three years worth of data already pivoted with column headers I have no clue what they they mean. I sent it back and reiterated my request. Member, date of service, servicing provider, procedure code. Proficiency in excel is tricky.

That is the weirdest description for a closeted homosexual with a Napoleon complex I've ever heard. Congratulations.

Plumbers, electricians, doctors, chefs, engineers, artists, musicians, practically anyone with special knowledge can say the same.
Just build those H&R Block kiosks in the BIG W and be glad someone thinks you're useful.

What’s funny was when I was in public accounting about 10 years ago, I was struggling to keep up because I only had “slightly advanced” excel skills. When I went into the private world, I was blown away with how bad people are with excel. Actually watched someone use a calculator to add number in a bunch of cells then input the results into the Total cell
I had a coworker in the accounting department of a Fortune 500 company who had to be taught how to do a sum function. They supposedly have an accounting degree and an MPA. I still don't know how that was even possible.

I find it appalling when I hear how much they spent getting a brake job on their car. Or how they about died from exposure bc the electricity went out and their generator needed a carb job, but they had no clue.

You think this is an insult but in reality you just don’t understand what I said.
Congrats (fake) doc

It's much more frustrating seeing people attempt to use Excel for things it shouldn't be used for. It's not secure, persisted, etc.
Put it in a damn database.

You've never showed me where I claimed to be a doctor. I've asked a dozen times by now.

Right, you didn’t understand the post. If a plumber calls another plumber because his toilet is leaking, is plumber A a dumbass?
