    Once you start to learn Excel, you quickly realize the depths of the functions and understand that a one pager called “everything you can do in Excel” is laughably optimistic.

      Well, is the guide even that helpful? I was expecting some sort of cheat sheet but it’s just a guide that points at “New” as says this is how you create a new workbook, points at a section with “Insert, delete, format” and says this is where you insert, delete, format cells, etc.

      This doesn’t seem to be very helpful for anyone.

        It might be helpful for those just getting into Excel or who have never done anything more than create a basic spreadsheet. At best its a quick reference when you forget where a particular option is in the UI, but it doesn’t even begin to explain ‘what’ any of the things you can do actually do.

    This is not even close to everything you can do in Excel but it does nicely highlight an interface disaster.

    The QR code in the corner link to a site selling a better resolution version for $4.99. Made me sad. I actually thought I’d be able to read it. Oh well.

      It’s okay, you just need to be able to read the main points. After that you can ask copilot.

    Got it in a lower resolution? I can still read some of these labels.
