My understanding is the massive party drinks and happy hours have their own line item at BCG, no?

I used to feel a bit guilty expensing costly drinks, but then I remembered that I would have spend the same money even if not on a case. And that $40 is less than we bill per minute of work. An occasional drink doesn’t break a case budget

Get two at double the cost. The only rule is you have to finish it. No waste

Do you guys really have that tight of expense policies? Ours couldn’t care less unless the drink costs more than the expense budget for the project

Lol what? Of course you can expense that.

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
