Yeah but charts are so much less painful now. Remember the graph paper!? Solving equations via the graphing method!?
Funny how that doesn’t come up too much now.
Also, I always just solved the equation symbolically and pretended I solved on the graph

Sounds like an immaterial violation of Precept 1 to me
I often solved the math in my head and then had to pretend I did “all the steps” to solve it.
Kind of tedious, if you ask me.
Crap, I totally forgot you had this thread, this is the best place for it. Thanks meep. :h5:

It was more likely to be seen in the other thread, to be fair.
Do we have a thread for existing Excel features we just found out about? I learned about Xlookup from this thread, so I figured I’d post about something cool I just realized: When you have some cells highlighted and a Sum is showing at the bottom right of the screen, you can left click on that and it copies it to your clipboard. Works for all of the numerical values shown (you can add/remove what’s shown by right clicking there). I used to have a personal macro to try and do that, but it only worked sometimes. I was super excited when I realized what I had accidentally discovered.

Okay, I’ll make a new thread, because you know – I learn new Excel stuff all the time, too
and not just the new features they keep adding
Here’s the thread (it looks like it put a link above, too)

“100-pound gorilla”?
That seems like an innumerate metaphor.

I think that’s juuuuuust right
if they’re 100 pounds, they’re easier to steal
Amateur. All the cool kids I know either track their versions by date (“File1 20220604.xlsb”) or by the number of “Finals” after the filename (“File1 Final Final Final.xlsb”)
