It is staggering to me to think about how much work gets done in big companies by Excel, filling in gaps that IT can’t reach. And there are no meetings without PowerPoint slides on a wall. Without those 2 applications, our entire economy would collapse tomorrow.

If you work with Excel at all, I think it’s important that you know that the word “Pivotchart” can be sung perfectly to the tune of “Baby Shark”.

I have to live with that knowledge, now you do too, enjoy trying to unhear it when you’re working~
