My family and I always fill out brackets for March Madness. The older I get, the more I find I pick based on nostalgia instead of knowledge.
So…I built a spreadsheet to use statistical probabilities to fill out my bracket. Enjoy!
Have you ever tried to memorize a sum in Excel so that you can write it down in an email or some other document. You quickly repeat the number to yourself two or three times, type it out, and then verify that you didn’t forget along the way.
I just thought that was the way Excel was. My mind was completely blown when I learned this was completely unnecessary. Excel made a super easy, one-click solution. I love Excel!
This is pretty nerdy, but few things motivate me more than a good-looking spreadsheet. In fact, I created two spreadsheets (linked in the post) that helped me lose weight and catch up on email. If a spreadsheet has great formatting, I’m more likely to keep it up to date as well as look at it closely. For me, Conditional Formatting has been a blessing in making it easy to make my spreadsheets more attractive and informative.
I’m kind of an Excel nerd. I love creating spreadsheets. I’d rather do that than almost anything else. Over the years, I’ve created some hundreds and hundreds of spreadsheets. Here are my favorites.
SUMPRODUCT, the Excel function that I no longer find to be obsolete and worthless. In fact, it’s awesome at allocations.
Even in the accounting world, looks matter…at least when it comes to spreadsheets. How you format your spreadsheets can help people see what’s important and see that your spreadsheet is important.
There are few things more satisfying for me than a beautiful spreadsheet. Thanks to Yankton First UMC, I have one more beautiful spreadsheet that I can share with you. Sharing is caring!
