Spending hours manually updating your Excel dashboards and reports? Copying, pasting, reformatting... 😩 It's tedious, time-consuming, and leaves room for error. What if your key visuals updated automatically when the source data changes?

Excel has a powerful, often overlooked feature perfect for this: the Camera Tool! 📸

It lets you create dynamic, linked visuals from different sheets onto one central summary page. 👉 youtu.be/25zHZOeBxyY

The person on my team who had the best #Excel-fu was laid off.

From this man, I had finally internalized that Excel could do actual work beyond storing and displaying stuff. However, I didn't know how to make it do what I needed sometimes. There was a button for #CoPilot. It gave me wrong information *every* time.

So I started searching #YouTube with my work account instead of asking copilot.

And, when I tried to use CoPilot as support for other M365 apps, sometimes it gave me explicit instructions on how to do something that was actually not possible in the current version of whatever app. It would admit the impossibility when I included that it did not seem possible to do what I wanted as part of my query, but *dayum* it was a colossal waste of time.

Looking through my forgotten corner of my shed I found a gem. I was hoping to finally install some clean Excel without the bloatware, but I think I misplaced my floppy drive 25 years ago 😄. And I have a sneaking suspicion that I would not be able to read anyhting from 30 year old floppies. #Excel #retrocomputing

Grist is the evolution of #spreadsheets.

The grist-core repo is the heart of Grist, including the hosted services offered by Grist Labs, an NYC-based company 🇺🇸 and Grist's main developer.

The French government 🇫🇷 organizations ANCT Données et Territoires and DINUM (Direction Interministérielle du Numérique) have also made significant contributions to the codebase.

Continued thread

the table thing ties back into into #vestal, the binary patcher for old soundwares (codeberg.org/unspeaker/vestal - that one isn't passing its ci yet, baaad code, baaaaaad developer!)

that could sure use some interactivity, at least in development. would keep me focused.

it also ties back into #tek, whose entire thing is reimplementing #ableton's "#excel for music" schtick in a terminal, so, again, tables!

or, more properly, collapsible table-trees... not a new idea, more like a lost technology! 😁
