I took up a new job at a tech company based out of Silicon Valley and my boss has been pushing hard for me to use Smartsheets but I hate it. I switch to excel whenever I can. Smartsheet vs Excel?

Excel, the world's best calculator. Our company's project managers use Smartsheets for documentation.

I only concluded that Silicon Valley tech guys cocky, their delivery standards lack quality (kudos to quality produced by consulting) and they’re uninspiring

Ew smart sheet

I thought Silicon Valley was all over the Airtable-Zapier combo.

Silicon Valley has a lot of garbage and it’s annoying when I can’t use my excel shorts

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

Hi team i have a bit of doubt.
I have an excel sheet where column A is the order numbers. I want to add comments in column G.
There are many repetitions in order numbers but they are all sorted in ascending so all the repetitions are below one another.

If i have a comment, how can i automatically paste that same comment in all the repetitions of that order numbers if i write it in the 1st instance.

Thanks in advance
