I never used Excel in Uni.
It's my main app at work.
They should have taught me Excel.

Can confirm, Google sheets was a game changer!

There are whole games programmed in Excel. It’s an incredibly powerful tool, if you know how to use it.

I never learned the skills but I’ve been wanting so bad to learn but confused on whether to learn Excel, googlesheets (isn’t that a thing?), or something else. What would I be using it for? I don’t know but let’s go with life and business information. What specific resources, YouTube or tutorials would you recommend?

Spreadsheet applications and programs is part of the reason personal computers took off in the first place. What use to take hours and a team to do can be done in minutes by 1 person.

I heard an interview economist say “we would be shocked how much of the worlds economy runs on excel”.

let’s be specific:
excel is used in so many places you would not believe.
i like pages for my personal stuff but excel is so embedded within the business and government world. if

Oh yeah, at my last job I automated time tracking with production vs downtime... Every minute has to be accounted for. All I did was have it do the math with inputs and a few vlookups for other spreadsheets on the company network. Saves me, and eventually a lot of people, a whole lot of time. Haven't worked there in years and the operators are still using it.

Spent some time in the last year learning various filters, array formulas, and other ways to automate things I do every day. Such a massive time saver. I show things to others and like you said I’m looked at like a wizard.
Then I show them simple databases like Airtable…
Cheers fellow spreadsheet enthusiast!

If you know vlookup alone, you can make a LOT of people believe you’re a genius.

Be sure to put bras and anything delicate in a mesh bag. You also should sort your laundry by colour and hang it to dry. I also recommend not overlooking ironing. Having things not wrinkly and creased nicely in the right place makes them feel better to wear! I only use conditioner when I want something softer or if I’ve accidentally shrunk something. If that’s the case I hand wash with hair conditioner in the sink.

I like the cut of your jib, but if you cut down the dip bowl in four places with scissors, you can fold it down and lick the dip bowl clean.

Okay but hear me out: if you pour the crumbs into the dip and stir/eat them with your fingers you can avoid dirty dishes.

Dump the scraps in the bag into the dip and eat the dip with a spoon.
Amateur.

I used to use to manually crunch the data (took a while to do) now using self taught pivot tables and VLookup what used to take all day, now takes me 30 mins to do…
I don’t know what to do with my free time now and feel weird like I am doing “less work” and tend to sit at my desk with nothing to do… am I cheating the work place hour system?
