I don't often accidentally turn on #ScrollLock in #Excel, but when I do, it is a bit disorienting for a couple of seconds.

For coworkers, it is the end of the world.

Has Excel come to Obsidian?

Well, while the answer is no, there's still quite a bit of functionality in this community plugin.

ETA: Seems we found someone - thanks for boosts! ❤

Dear fedi, does anyone in my extended network know about excel macros - and how they might have changed between office 2013 and present day o365 builds - and feel up to the task of modernising/rewriting some sheets for a customer so they can move to current office (which just complains when the old documents are opened) without upending their entire workflow? This work would of course be paid! (Please boost for reach)

38 years ago on September 30, 1985, Microsoft introduced the first version of Microsoft Excel. It was initially developed for the Apple Macintosh.

It replaced Microsoft's earlier product, Multiplan, and brought a new level of functionality and user-friendliness

I maintain that excel isn't the most used "programming language" because it's easy to learn or use, it's not, it's a convoluted piece of trash and way harder than "real" programming. No it's because excel makes it trivial to install, build, and distribute to end users

  • to install excel you install office, easy. No obscure package managers or building from source required

  • to build your "product" with excel you just... oh hey there isn't even a build step whereas if you try and build with most languages there's a million command line switches to throw if you wanna be successful

  • to distribute you just send someone your spreadsheet file

@eniko “In the olden days, #Excel had a very awkward #programming language without a name. “Excel Macros,” we called it. It was a severely dysfunctional programming language without variables (you had to store values in cells on a worksheet), without locals, without subroutine calls: in short it was almost completely unmaintainable. It had advanced features like “Goto” but the labels were actually physically invisible.” — Joel Spolsky, 2006

It used to be worse and still useful.

that "every program expands until it can read mail" feels outdated now when every program starts off as a fully fledged web browser

and then they remove history, bookmarks, the back button, inspect, view source, plugins, user scripts

and then you get mail i guess but god help you if you want to sort it in reverse

J'ai un problème informatique et la maintenance informatique qu'on paye une fortune me dit depuis une semaine qu'ils vont regarder, mais au final, ils ne font rien :(

si quelqu'un peut m'aider, j'ai un fichier Excel de 210mo (oui, c'est énorme) qui bloque à l'ouverture, j'ai le message suivant quand je l'ouvre #excel #microsoft

La mémoire disponible est insuffisante pour finir cette action. Sélectionnez moins de données ou fermez des applications. Pour augmenter la disponibilité de la mémoire, vous pouvez utiliser une version 64 bits d'Microsoft Excel.

Such a shame the decision was made to limiting the #excel integration with #python into something that forces users to run code in the cloud rather than locally… The reasons given in this post seem lackluster.

Hi All. Excited to say I'm giving a talk at #PositConf this year about #DataScience Meetup Organizer Burnout and how to build a sustainable meetup.

This has been a really fun process for me, as I've interviewed a lot of Data Science Meetup Organizers and distilled our wisdom, success stories, and experience (with some organization behavior literature mixed in) to help you fight burnout at your own meetup.

Hope to see you there and chat, whether you work in #rstats, #python, #excel!

Before I say what it is, I am NOT posting this as clickbait (which is how it's often used)! 😂 I'm posting this as a Maths teacher who knows this topic inside-out and wants to help people to understand it better. There are MANY mistakes that people make and get the wrong answer, and I'm going to cover them in bite-size chunks each week for a few weeks

So 8÷2(1+3)=? What is the answer (bonus: and WHY is it the answer)? #Maths #Mathematics #MathsMonday

SmartmanApps,
@SmartmanApps@dotnet.social avatar

8/10
Of (some of) the other e-calcs, does the same as Desmos, and both forcibly add a multiplication symbol (thus breaking the factorised term), and with the calculator, any coefficient you type in literally disappears! i.e. type in 8/2(1+3), and it gives you 8/(1+3). MathSolver is the buggiest. If you use ÷ then it essentially does the same as Google, but if you use / it turns it into a fraction and puts the whole 2nd term into the denominator...

  • caribouslim,

    @SpiritBearDreaming Well, I didn't get all the possible combinations yet, but this lil excel tool I built will pull a Celtic Cross draw, along with reversed cards if you want them.Available to whomever would like to use it here:

    https://file.io/QFJDhcXMiYuz

    Go to Formulas -> Calculate Now to pull a new draw.

    I mainly built it to bring out the formulas needed to shuffle and draw out the top 10 cards based on random placement within the deck. Now that the formula is down, the last challenge would be finding a database that can handle all the possible combinations.

    Reversed cards are determined by generating two random numbers. If the first is lower than the second, the card is reversed.
