I know a woman who took early retirement because they started requiring presentations to be made using PowerPoint, but she was unable to figure out how to create slides.

Excel is probably the most bloated piece of software on the planet.
99% of the population uses maybe 10% of the features.
The rest is just effectively in the way

I consider myself to be average with knowledge of excel. I have used it countless times with work and personal life over the years. Then I come along a co-worker every so many years who is an excel guru and justifies his job by making elaborate spreadsheets to the point where he is overdoing/overthinking it. I feel like an idiot/incompetent when that happens, but it opens my eyes to what the program is capable of.
For years I contemplated taking a course to freshen/improve skills so I would not fall behind. Now it is no longer a priority with my career change, so I left it on the backburner. I'll check out Youtube if need be in the future. Thanks for the tip.
I can understand where you are coming from.

I’ll bet if I took you on one of our backcountry excursions, you’d take a lot longer to do things than the experienced backpackers in our crew.

I made the mistake of sending an excel spreadsheet to a boomer. I got a phone call from them shortly after stating the printer wont stop printing

I was an "expert" and I only used maybe 20% of them.
All you have to be able to do is to frame your question correctly when you search on Youtube.

The people at my company who are proficient at Excel spend all day inputting data onto spreadsheets that reflect the revenue stream that I bring to the company. I don’t need to be proficient with Excel when I have geeks like the OP who type on a keyboard for a living to do that for me.

Get off your high horse. No real analyst uses Excel these days. You’re slowly being phased out with SQL/Python and a reporting platform like Tableau or Streamlit.

You have anyone at home to bitch to? You made a thread about people being deficient in excel. Go to a therapist or something, maybe crazy4lsu can prescribe you some ketamine spray.

PowerBI is for incompetent bozos. Far less capable than Tableau.

My kids say I look like a monkey with a typewriter when I work on Excel spreadsheets.
