Anyone who works in Excel knows your boss thinks a monkey could do your job despite that they don't even know how to drag fill date lists

I say this every time. If you don't understand time series econometrics, don't use "Forecast". It doesn't give you any goodness-of-fit 1/

How to become real ninja plz

I don't know if this is Ninja level. I would expect 90% of this to be known by anyone at entry level in any office setting.

VBA macros? Joining spreadsheets to database tables through ODBC? No? What's it got then? Oh... oh it's got flash fill... ಠ_ಠ

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I would argue against VBA macros at my work, since R will usually do it better. Having "expertise" in Excel isn't really marketable, IMO.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I don't know about entry level, but I agree that this wouldn't qualify one to be an expert.

Yeah, sure, but can you tell me why the Google Spreadsheet turns all my cells light green permanently?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Curious. I want to type into a cell a thing and have it highlight certain cells based on what I type, is there any way to do that WITHOUT

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Including text in the cells, like hidden attributes?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Trying to understand the question: So you want, for example, cell A1 to become highlighted green if you type "Buy" into it?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Sorta yeah that sounds about right.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's for a spellbook, type in a thing like NECROMANCY and it highlights all of the NECROMANCY spells in the sheet.

Okay, what you want is conditional formatting. So, first highlight the column that lists spell types. Then go Home>Styles>Conditional... 1/

As an engineer I use advanced Excel and some home-made macros to calculate heat and cooling loads for small-medium houses.

Lot of people that work in offices and browse while working? Apparently in those jobs excel is so ridiculously useful.

Use Libre Office instead (it's the Open Office source code but it's still being developed, since Open Office was bought)

Libre/Open Office are acceptable alternatives if you are doing elementary excel tasks or only need the spreadsheets for internal use. 1/
