Can I just say that writing formulas in Microsoft Excel feels like I am writing code. Anyone else agree to that? The plethora of functions that are available to a person in Excel are mind-blowing, not to mention that specific ways that they have to be written. I am however, very grateful for having been taught how to properly use these formulas in this chapter.
Writing formulas in Excel is writing code ^_^
ReplyDeleteGlad you learned how to properly use formulas from 5.6.6 Formula Facts :-)
Fun with formulas... indeed!
Yes I am also blown by how much formula there is to use at our disposal.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much that can be done in Excel and I love the fact there are these functions that help you achieve what you need. Before this class, I would have never attempted to do anything in this program, it was all to overwhelming for me. Now, I just might dip my toes in the water.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. As I have learned java, I can understand "If" function in just a second.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely another dialect. I never imagined that I would have the ability to comprehend, better yet, utilize the formulas in Excel! :D
ReplyDeleteFormulas do feel like coding and are very convenient. I've been practicing them at work and I'm loving it.
ReplyDeleteOh it's very very similar! Imagine if everything in excel had to manually input T_T total dread.
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft’s researchers believe they’ve now finally transformed Excel into a full-fledged programming language, thanks to the introduction of a new feature called LAMBDA. “With LAMBDA, Excel has become Turing-complete. You can now, in principle, write any computation in the Excel formula language,” a Microsoft blog proclaimed.
