Nothing more honest than the end "if i had to choose one which would i use... Probably still just Excel". Lol. That's me. Hell it's included in my O365 subscription.
I mean....at this point I'm pretty invested in Excel. Classes, subscription, tons of stuff set up. I love new toys, but this seems like a lit of work to migrate and swim against the current of everyone else using Excel.
"What has Excel given us in the last decade?" I'm in my post-Microsoft phase but to be honest: lambda functions. Haskell captain Simon Peyton Jones had to take a side job for *20 years* at Microsoft to make this happen. 10 years to convince them and 10 years to roll it out. I would not expect too much more good stuff though.
If Excel was completely rewritten so that it wasn't just new code piled on older code piled on code dating right back to Excel 1.0 back in the mid 80s, like some rock formation with the odd dinosaur bone poking out of it, we wouldn't need PowerBI, or 90% of users of SQL, Python for Data Analysis or the various database packages. All calculations would run quickly, clearly and crashes would only occur if the computer was mashed to start with. Of course, that must never be allowed to happen.
First.

Custom function, Python in Excel, PowerQuery, Data Analysis Pack, Financial Analysis pack lol

This is a good answer
I've still got lotus 1-2-3 on my windows 3.1 machine 😂
Bless you Gilligan

Data cleaning would have been pretty cool in my forensic accounting jobs.
Very helpful and appreciate the fun video to go along with the information.
Thanks for being here!
love the vid man, great stuff :)
I just can’t. Google Sheets is as far from Excel as I’ll go.
These are all webapps. I want lighter-weight spreadsheet native app. :(
Numbers 🤣🤣🤣
