Excel needs way better data visualization capabilities. I hate having to switch to python for relatively simple charts that just aren't possible in Excel. Love it to death but catch up!
Agree.
But excel is more like a multitask app, so it can’t be good at everything.
It attempting to “help” by converting things to date. I’ll import things like “3.1.3” and “3.14.1” and it decides I mean January 3rd 2003 and 3.14.1. Then you can’t convert back because it will convert the date to a datetime string
Not having a function to tell when a cell was last modified and by who without vba or scrolling through the version history.
I'll open up worksheets and I know someone has fucked up something up, just tell me who did it.
The default being light mode, so opening a new sheet later in the day or at night means that I get flash-banged by my screen. Dark mode Excel is superior by all metrics imo
When you can’t open two files with the same name. Makes me so mad lol
Going to boring training to learn more about it
You can learn by yourself what you really need.
And this cannot be boring: you will automate most of your work and do something more interesting.
How?
First of, use excel help.
Then use chatGPT for simple questions about formulas, etc …
Then look at some tutos (there are good ones on YouTube)
Then get something more structured with Coursera, linkedin courses, …
That will cover the basics in a useful way
New window not using same grid line and freeze settings
I wish it could handle bigger datasets
