All that math you learned? Forget it. You're in spreadsheet land now.

That being said, it's important to know how to sanity-check the math, especially in the era of Copilot in Excel. We just found that our company's configuration enables it by default on new workbooks, as we found when it was just...making up numbers when asked to do simple addition.

I had a programmer giving up on a task today and had to resort to VBA in Excel. Excel is a shit program and Visual Basic is a shit language, but if you combine them, you can do things that are impossible in any other way. Someone once said that you can make Excel do anything except coffee. I disagree. It can probably make coffee too.
