    ohhh nonono You hate it because you either don’t know how to use/don’t use it enough, or you just don’t like your job. Excel is amazing, I could cry talking about it hahaha I had to work with google sheets once and almost had a heart attack, if I had no excel my job would be unberable

      I’d agree with this. When I first started using Excel in school and university, I’d follow the instructions and not really know why I was doing what I was doing.

      But then, having to work with Excel at work and make it do new shit, the penny dropped in my head and I understood how spreadsheets worked.

      I use spreadsheets for heaps of things now, even if I don’t need to use formulas. Excel has some weird idiosyncrasies but it’s a good product overall. It’s not as bad as Word, which most people use incorrectly.
