i know this is very yospos of me but i hate bad spreadsheets, like where there are weird entries that make no sense, or the formulas are totally convoluted and break if you try to add anything at all, and the text is formatted to ancient sigils that unleashe a horrible evil if you use the format painter. i just want to know how much ammunition my child army used last month without having to ask Dustin in accounting to explain it to me, you know what i mean?

The spreadsheet I used to answer your rhetorical question said "ask again later"

I nipped that in the bud. By the fifth "Wow son, you really Excel at this!" they stop critiquing you, or speaking to you at all, really.

If you have a shared google sheet and the upper left hand square isn't a cursor resting zone for when you are just looking at it, it is a bad spreadsheet.

If it's in Excel, try selecting the cell and hitting CTRL+5

Also my favorite is when there is not really any reason to link workbooks across disparate network drives together but someone forgot to paste values back over their last VLOOKUP and now the drat thing won't stop giving me errors every time I open it because FOR SOME REASON I "don't have access to that user's C:\ drive"
