Excel is amazing at what it does.

I had a Manager that spent an entire week compiling a report on how much times people spent on tasks.

He was very proud as he was showing me this report. I asked him why he didn’t use a pivot table.

While he was asking what that was, I spent two minutes on the same data that he had and reproduced his report. I had a friend and patron for life after that. I was involved in many major decisions for a fortune 50. All because I could work excel.

These Excel people feel like they know something while they are just nefarious bugs ;-(
