i'm more or less completely self-taught when it comes to excel outside of extremely basic stuff i learned in school growing up and lord knows, translation agencies can't otherwise be assed to offer people training courses or even basic manuals to learn how to use it well as it relates to our line of work, so for as much as this is probably child's play to the people whose life work it is to write vbasic macros or whatever, not gonna lie, i feel like a god damn wizard making increasingly liberal use of conditional formatting lately to, say, automatically highlight cells if i type content into them, or change a cell's color based on the character count of an adjacent cell (ie: to alert me of an overage)
does this make me want to crack open an excel for dummies book and actually figure out more advanced stuff? god no as much as it probably should, but at least when i talk to work colleagues about this stuff, i can pretend slightly less that i know what i'm doing than i had to before
and if that ain't professional growth, i dunno what is, gamers
