And I'm only saying this because I care.

There are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.

Mods please change my name to "Tooter Skeleton" TIA.



I spent like 30 minutes last week trying to get excel to recognise that the dates in a column were mm/DD/yyyy (not: this is an inferior date format but it's what the data was in) so I could just pull the month and year for a chart and none of the actual functions worked.

set the column as a date type? Nope. Set a custom type? Nope. It wouldn't even treat it as a date at all without going to each cell and pressing enter.

the solution I found on the 10th "for the love of god why won't excel respect my choice of date format?" Was "select the column and do 'import data', then uncheck any delimiters and specify the date format manually and it will import the column into its and reset all the formatting to the one you want"

I mean what the gently caress

my other favorite is when it deletes leading zeros

my other other favorite is when it decides this long number should become scientific notation

Yeah all of our student numbers are nine digits starting with 9 so every time I import a roster or something I get a whole column of 9.16E8, 9.55E8, 9.73E8. Awesome

My boss once asked me to replicate a bunch of locked spreadsheets so he would have editable copies so I just cracked them with like 10 lines of VBA. He still thinks I'm some kind of hacker because I know how to cut and paste from stackoverflow.

If the dates are separated by slashes, then select the whole column and do find-and-replace. Replace the slash with the same slash. Even though nothing is technically changing, Excel will still go through and "touch" every cell. This is the equivalent of going to every cell and pressing enter, and Excel should recognize them as dates afterwards.

Some years ago my boss was major pissed at me that I didn't want/know how to remake bunch of paid, editable tax forms for businesses. He accused me of sabotaging him lol

Finally I just edited out the watermarks from screenshots of said forms and printed him the paper copies, and he deemed it good enough to finally gently caress off
