    A lot of these do work on Google Sheets and Mac’s version of Excel, fyi. The buttons may be different though, so keep that in mind. Also, there is a way to lock the display for headers for when you’re scrolling through giant sheets that can be helpful!

    For which types of papers do you believe Excel is the most useful ? We're doing small amateur shows but I like your videos and I'm always interested in looking for a more professional way to do things :)

      So much! I use it for daily calls, reports, entrance/exit breakdowns, run sheets, line schedules for event work, and similar!

    I love Excel. But i struggle with getting the header/footer auto-update with save date and revision numbers.

      I’ve used it before, but I don’t do it anymore. I just do it manually, because I don’t want it to update to a later date if I open an old version!
