Has anyone who works heavily with spreadsheets/data analysis bought those dual laptop screen extenders? Looking at Xebec and wondering if it’s worth the cost for the extra real estate when not using my big home monitor

What does “F” mean? But to answer your question: not a dual one, but I do use a portable external monitor I got from Amazon and I think it makes a big difference

Ok thanks. It’s like $450 but if that means I can work from my parents place for a week or two every couple months it should be worth it I think 🤔

I got an espresso and it’s the best thing I ever did for myself. It powers itself off your laptop but it doesn’t permanently attach. It’s so nice.

If you have a Surface Pro, you can project to it and use it as an extra monitor. I use that when my portable monitor is not enough.

Ooh, how do you set it up to do this?

I'm looking at the same thing. Following....

I have a KYY portable monitor from Amazon, about $100. Can power itself from laptop (I use usb-c) and came with a case that doubles as a stand. I didn't want one that permanently attached to laptop and made it heavier for when I didn't need all that. Makes a huge difference like someone else mentioned. Some have built in stands also.

I have sidetrack. I like it but it is heavy. It attaches to my laptop’s lid and can flip so that some one can see my screen or be used as a dual monitor.

I’m helping my GF with excel and need help lol. She works at a hospital and is trying to make an excel schedule for doctors to reserve rooms. She wants drop downs for days of the week (column K) and also different drop down menus in column P for the reserved time slots.

Is it possible to do this with two sets of drop downs (days of week + time slots) and not use index match here? She could make 5 tables for each day of the week, but prefers one table that can be easily navigated by doctors.
