Suck it, Excell! I’m beating you! I’m older!!! I’m 41!!! All hail the king, baby!
Yeah, but can you pivot?
Not at his age
Not only that, but i can also lookup X’s.
Long live the one and only solution that is a big data platform, a database, and, of course, an AI tool
Don’t forget accounting software. And Pixel art maker. And Eve Online interface.
accounting software
Fuck yeah, I do all my accounting through excel
The most versatile note pad in existence…
And still the spreadsheet gold standard. Microsoft gets plenty of shit wrong but Excel is one thing they got right.
The only low-code platform I actually respect.
I hear a lot of devs that don’t seem to get this.

No, Why would I spend a week coding something that I can create a pivot table and some charts for in an hour? Especially when if I code it myself, that means I now own and have to support my lovely new utility. Time is money and I’ve got way more important things to do than build custom reporting suites that no one except me is ever going to use.
I also prefer a spreadsheet, but for a proficient coder it’s not a week long job, unless they build it on bare metal. You can do a lot in an hour with a visualization library.
I’m borrowing that.
multiplan: “was i nothing to you?”
…yes? What is multiplan? Some kind of fire evacuation software?
Predecessor to Excel.
Thank you, Simon Peyton Jones.
40 years after ripping off VisiCalc which is 45 years old. And Aldus Persuation, and WordStar, and CPM, and Macintosh OS, and Netscape, and the list goes on.
And yet Google’s version is more useful
Lol Google sheets has nowhere near the capabilities of Excel. They’re not even in the same class.
In what way?
Excel is one of the best things Microsoft has ever made, in my opinion.
The only way I could think of is the ease of setting up a collaborative spreadsheet.
