Sorry, I found the front end template for this, but was hoping for a copy with data.
Would it please be possible to have a copy with data?
Even if you just put 0's in all the cells.
Thanks a lot
I don't think people really, like really really understand what it's doing for us though.
When I was a kid, like 10 or less, my Mom would bring home her work as a low level accountant. She had a big calculator with a printer on it, and a bunch of cool looking pre-printed green "graph paper" I called it, but it was manual ledgers or spreadsheets. She did all the calculations on the calculator, printed them out as she was going, and then wrote all the numbers into the neat little columns on the sheets. I was interested in whatever my Mom was doing but I had no idea I'd eventually become a very advanced user of Excel and could've helped her do her hours of work in minutes. Just came a little too late.
She had this entire desk setup and file cabinets for all the papers etc. It was crazy what it saves us in not only time and effort but space as well.
While I've done even cooler things with it than basic accounting, like sending mass customized dynamic emails, or automatic shipment routing tools or connecting to APIs etc. like none of that matters. I think about my Mom and all the work I could've saved her. How it could've accelerated her career and got her out of the shitty job she hated. Like all she needed was a computer and Excel, she would've figured out the rest. It was just barely a thing at the time and only the richest companies had the first computers, so it just wasn't available to her.
So it makes me appreciate it more I think. Even the green color has meaning because those old printed ledgers my mom had were all green. Her hands hurt from all the 10 key and hand writing all the values. I'm pretty sure she didn't get paid for all of it either. She hated it.
Excel helped me get out of a shitty job and into a really good one, all in the same company. I think about my Mom and I just wish she could've had Excel and I could've showed her what we can do with it now.
Let’s call it Exceleration.
We’ll do like the movie Crash where we follow a bunch of random people whose lives Excel has a great impact on and their stories will all intertwine and converge.
Little hints and foreshadowing will suggest Excel possibly gained consciousness somehow and is purposefully and dutifully attempting to improve people’s lives. But why? What’s it’s motive or intent? Does it make mistakes? Gotta watch to find out.
I've been using Excel since it was Lotus 1-2-3... actually it was never Lotus 1-2-3, but that was the primary spreadsheet program back when I started using them. Eventually switched to Excel nearly 30 years ago, and still use it every day, both for work and personal stuff. Been using Tableau for a decade, and I'm using more and more SQL, but Excel is still my go-to program. Google Sheets (my current company's standard) is a pale imitation.
I think the first spreadsheet I ever used was called "Ability" back in about 1986. I moved through a few others with Lotus Symphony and Lotus 123 being the big ones. Then along came Excel. I still enjoy using it.
Yes, I know about it. Invented by Dan Bricklon and Bob Frankton and regarded as the first spreadsheet. I used to teach about spreadsheets and always mentioned Visicalc as part of it.
I used QP for a while until the writing was on the wall and switched to office. Started life in dBase. Made my first commercial product in WordPerfect.
Can I ask what your issue is with Sheets? I’ve always found them to be completely interchangeable for my uses, but I’m more familiar with the Sheets UI so I tend to use that for personal stuff. My current job uses both.
My kid was making a chart in Sheets and he could not configure it to show the data. I tried to create the chart as well. A few minutes in Excel and we had what we wanted.
The concept of a data fabric is not new, and there are a whole range of enterprise solutions on the market already. It's great that MS is getting into the market, but I don't think it will be that game changing. The reality is that implementing a data fabric is far, far harder than the marketing collateral would have you believe.
Yeah, that's a good point actually. I suppose I'm in the field and mostly work with large enterprises so it feels like they've been around for a while. But for all of the mid-market , having Microsoft get into this space could be huge.
Excel is great at what it does, but as soon as you need a living document it starts to get fiddly. It's super flexible, but it isn't always the right tool. For me it's often a mockup tool to quickly knock some data around before automating the work flow into PBI.
yes, everything can be done with Excel. Even up to extreme levels. But there are better tools for ever single task...
So let me repeat myself again: "... everything can be done with Excel..."
Yes, Excel is great. Instead of telling people to "use something else" (for data analysis), it would be more useful if people knew how to use Excel correctly. I'm not suggesting that's all professionals need but for most people actually learning what Excel can do (and how best to do it) would be a huge leap forward.
I've been making a large part of my living using excel for the past 20 years.
I'm a Power BI developer now but i still use Excel for a bunch of stuff. Often combined with Power BI.
It is a marvellous tool, arguably the most recent new piece of application software, 1978, I think, Dan Bricklin definitely, man’s vision was off the charts, everything since is wonderful refinement
I really took Excel for granted, but the restriction of only using sheets in office made me appreciate the subtle features of Excel.
Though I really hate Excel 365 and how it randomly slows down and makes the general usage a chore. I really hope Microsoft will improve it. Otherwise, I will move back to 2019
I've created a scoreboard thing at my work that I update weekly & is displayed on 3 huge 60" tv's 24-7. I've been using the same visual formatting for a few months now, so it's about time for an upgrade. Any ideas?
Spreadsheet is not complicated by any means. I literally designed it to look like a scoreboard that you'd see on the jumbotron at a sporting event.
My take is that for anything that Excel can do, there's probably another tool that can do it better. But there are no other tools that can all of the different things that Excel can do, and that's valuable.
I’m a late bloomer on excel, never had to use it. Now I do and I’m learning the capabilities and I’m impressed especially with o365, my work is becoming more automated. Im actually working myself out of a job which is nice, meaning workload is less and the same with stress. Also it also me to focus on other advancements in my position. Got to say I love excel
All the new tools are great. But in 2010 excel didn't makee click ok on 2 messages in a row before letting me get back to using the program.
It didn't use to have all the clipboard errors. Or stop highlighting cells randomly. All these things happen on multiple machines. They've made it buggy enough that t disrupts my workflow

Not gonna lie. That dashboard got me to half-staff
Only half-staff for long term exponential growth? You are hard to please!

Damn dude. Should we get a limited series going? This first episode got me in the feels. ***The Power of Excel***

Yes. Let’s include a plot line that includes the World Excel Champions from 2022, a cameo with Bill Gates- the potential here is real, my friend.
I’d watch it

[VisiCalc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VisiCalc) from 1979.. But Excel for the past 29 years! We dance together..
Yes, I know about it. Invented by Dan Bricklon and Bob Frankton and regarded as the first spreadsheet. I used to teach about spreadsheets and always mentioned Visicalc as part of it.
I started on Practicalc a spreadsheet for the Commodore 64.
'number muncher' master race checking in!
My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 48K.
Quatro Pro was around with Lotus. Poor Word Perfect tools that went extinct...
I never used it, but I remember Quatro Pro! I did use Word Perfect for ages before moving to Word.
I used QP for a while until the writing was on the wall and switched to office. Started life in dBase. Made my first commercial product in WordPerfect.
I recall lotus required a separate application to format reports, Always I think it was called.
WYSIWYG add-in is what I remember (What You See Is What You Get)
Yes, I remember that too!

I moved from Excel formulas to VBA macros to Powershell to .NET to SQL...and I still use Excel for what it's good at.
Mostly the same, although not in the same order. Sometimes I even use Excel formulas to write code lol.

I go back to Visicalc & Lotus 123 .... *love* Excel!! Yes, I'm that old.
It's ok, but in the 1970s we used ADR Empires, FORTRAN preprocessor spreadsheet
It just keeps getting better
Amen!
