To everyone who uses shared Excel documents for work,
Stop hiding cells/columns/rows, saving and then exiting before unhiding them.
Sincerely,
Everyone who has to use the spreadsheet after you— Miranda Lally (@mirandalally) April 29, 2020

I keep an Excel list of all the movies I watch.
I could use it to create a pivot table and charts to analyse the counts per genre and year as well as my average review rating. I don’t. But I could. https://t.co/TxcbMvBxSP
