Ich frage mich wieviele Mitarbeiter:innen der deutschen öffentlichen Verwaltung da teilnehmen. 📊 📈
Und vor allem, wann kommen die Deutschen Meisterschaften im Formularebauen und Low-Coding? 🤔 📝
Viele Menschen geben bei Linkedin an, gut in Excel zu sein. Die, die das Office-Programm richtig gut bedienen können, haben nicht nur den Linkedin-Kenntnistest bestanden, sondern fahren zur WM nach Las Vegas.
Here's a #spreadsheet question: what #calculation-based "stuff" do you do with spreadsheets, outside the realm of grid-based tasks (eg a multiplication table) or texty lists (eg a todo list) or things producing graphs?
I'm interested in anything with a series of calculations that's /not/ a big grid!
Public Service Announcement: when you upload spreadsheets to Confluence, if you want them to display properly, please set up a printing area, and the relevant zoom information. Most of the time, setting them up to fit into 1 by 1 page is enough to make them massively more readable than the default setup…
(This is a note for future me as much as for yourselves 😉)
@hstde@Spore Even better, the alphabetical index of function names was generated in English first and then translated, meaning the documentation looks like a scrambled mess in any other language because it is alphabetized according to what the English equivalent would be. #excel
Certains partenaires nous demandent d'utiliser des outils qui ne sont pas compatibles avec #LibreOffice. C'est un frein important à la migration vers #Linux.
Solution de contournement : un serveur #Windows avec RDP/RemoteApp sur lequel #Excel est exécuté de façon transparente. Sur nos PC sous Linux, un .desktop (avec l'icône d'Excel) lance #Remmina et roule.
C'est le genre de ruse qu'il ne faut pas négliger dans un environnement hybride Microsoft/Linux.
But to me it's another reminder that researchers need #OpenSource tools. The alternative is to beg for bug fixes and see no progress for years, if ever.
BTW, I'm very aware that #FOSS projects can't always fix bugs quickly either, because they're underfunded and understaffed. (I run one of these myself.) But if they can't, and if the bug is sufficiently annoying, the annoyed can take matters into their own hands.
There is so much potential with using threaded comments in excel to turn cells into whole datasets, but no, microsoft doesn't want me to do just that, lol.
