yeah it’s fine

I mean it’s actually hot garbage but that’s all spreadsheets. anyone who thinks they like excel has stockholm syndrome. if you’re just doing simple lists and tables then it’s bad because it fucks up your data randomly, and if you’re doing anything more complicated than that then it’s unnecessarily complicated because the spreadsheet model is a really bad programming language

Everyone who graduated from business school has a nearly pathological dependence on Excel. I'm not entirely sure there isn't some Lovecraftian ritual that occurs when you get a BBA or MBA that binds your soul to that terrible program.

you need to enable cool macros by pushing the turbo button on your pc. it probably has a symbol on it that’s kind of like a circle but with a vertical line through the top
