@purplepadma It is capricious, but some master it. The rest of us just search for answers on the web! And no, not by using AI, never! 
#Excel
After mostly de-googlefying earlier this year, I've now taken a leaf out of @CiaraNi's book and started de-microsofting too.
Notepad++ is a no brainer and I've downloaded @libreoffice too.
Started going through my personal documents and changing the format from Office to Open Document Format.
Ah - the thrill and satisfaction of removing big tech...
Spending hours manually updating your Excel dashboards and reports? Copying, pasting, reformatting... 
It's tedious, time-consuming, and leaves room for error. What if your key visuals updated automatically when the source data changes?
Excel has a powerful, often overlooked feature perfect for this: the Camera Tool! 
It lets you create dynamic, linked visuals from different sheets onto one central summary page.

I need an Excel function that returns true if at least one cell in a range of cells contains a number less than 8. How might I do this?
If I were testing each cell in a range for a string, I know how, but in this case I'm testing for matches against a mathematical condition (cell is less than 8). #Excel
Looking through my forgotten corner of my shed I found a gem. I was hoping to finally install some clean Excel without the bloatware, but I think I misplaced my floppy drive 25 years ago 
. And I have a sneaking suspicion that I would not be able to read anyhting from 30 year old floppies. #Excel #retrocomputing
#scribesandmakers today’s question makes me think of this Japanese who uses #Excel to do art

Probably the best use of a #spreadsheet IMHO
Maybe Unpopular Opinion: LibreOffice is easier to use and more aesthetically pleasing than Excel.
I can't believe it. Microsoft seem to have removed the DD/MM/YY[YY] format for dates in Excel. I've been mostly using LibreOffice, is this a new bug in excel?

A free replacement for Microsoft Excel with many functions.
@nora If you want to hate yourself: #Excel & #SAP.
If you value your sanity: *Any code editor that can do #TSV files & #LibreOffice Calc!
So langsam schließen sich die letzten Lücken in meiner Sammlung antiker Windows- und Office-Disketten. Excel 3.0a lief als letzte Excel-Fassung noch original unter Windows 3.0 und war außerdem das erste mit einer grafischen Symbolleiste! Dieses unglaubliche Feature wurde damals auch noch groß auf der Verpackung beworben!
Hier ein perfektes Set der deutschen Vollversion mit 1.2MB, 5.25 Zoll KryoFlux Images. Natürlich wieder inkl. aller IMGs und sauberer JPG-Scans sämtlicher Datenträger:

Viel Spaß und gute Nacht ihr Wahnsinnigen! 
En ces temps où on parle de #souveraineté (notamment #numérique),
j'en viens *presque* à rêver que #Trump / #Musk nous sorte une phrase du genre :
"De toute façon vos comptes de réseaux sociaux sont hébergés chez nous [ie: aux USA], de même que vos #mails et documents #Word / #Excel, et parfois même vos #pensions de retraite sont largement composé de fonds ou d'actions d'entreprises US".
Provoquant ainsi une certaine "réalisation" (angliscisme) et une panique de notre #dépendance.
Hatte gestern einen eigentlich ziemlich hässlichen 720K Diskettensatz in der Post. Den Dingern sah man ihre 35 Jahre doch schon ziemlich an, aber die Optik war in dem Fall nebensächlich, denn das Auslesen per KryoFlux war dann eine wirklich positive Überraschung. Alle Datenträger waren absolut perfekt lesbar!
Es handelt sich um die deutsche Vollversion von Microsoft Excel 2.1d. Diese Fassung von Excel wurde noch rein über MS-DOS installiert und lief auf Windows ab Version 2.x. Ziemlich historisch. Hier gibt es die kompletten Flux- und IMG-Images, sowie 300dpi Scans aller Disketten:

Viel Spaß!
What's the opposite of using #AI like #Midjourney to crank out plastic shit?
Tatsuo Horiuchi's approach
He retired and deciding to take up painting dreamy landscapes...
With #Microsoft #Excel
!?
story:
https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2017/12/tatsuo-horiuchi-excel-artist/
his website:
the table thing ties back into into #vestal, the binary patcher for old soundwares (https://codeberg.org/unspeaker/vestal - that one isn't passing its ci yet, baaad code, baaaaaad developer!)
that could sure use some interactivity, at least in development. would keep me focused.
it also ties back into #tek, whose entire thing is reimplementing #ableton's "#excel for music" schtick in a terminal, so, again, tables!
or, more properly, collapsible table-trees... not a new idea, more like a lost technology! 
You can paint in Excel (so presumably also in LibreOffice Calc too).
I am genuinely boggled at how detailed the pictures are.
