@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.socialHello #Fediverse, I have a project for which I need to map 100-200 addresses from a spreadsheet. I found several services where I can just upload the spreadsheet or paste the data that work with Google Maps but I keep thinking there must be an #OpenStreetMap solution too.
Does anyone k…

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialSigh, well I was feeling good about getting an ebike but I stopped by a local shop and the model I was looking at is pretty much sold out everywhere. They do have newer models ($more expensive$) and some other modes so I may need to do up that whole spreadsheet of features to compare things.

@cdp1337@social.veraciousnetwork.comThis week I watched a video about Grist posted by LawrenceSystems and found it to be a good fit in what I've been looking for a while now.
Basically just a spreadsheet with API support for automation with other systems and data collectors. Been using SuiteCRM for a while and it worked well enough but is too clunky and brittle to quickly add/adjust columns or extend functionality.
Thus far have put together some middleware for device inventory management and about to work on …

@rachel@norfolk.socialBecause what we all really need in Excel is a more efficient way of writing mostly correct things. Mostly. https://mastodon.social/@verge/115055906442487572
@pre@boing.worldOh thank goodness! For a moment there I thought that America might waste a whole bunch of money on healthcare and keeping the workers fit for work!
Much better for the money to go to increasing the number on the spreadsheets of the rich people.
Can you imagine how terrible the world would be if America didn't kill thousands of people by denying them medicine to keep the spreadsheet numbers high?
Adam Smith would have been so mad, his invisible hand would surely have smite everyone.
@jake4480@c.imFor the first time this year, I've been trying out keeping a basic list in a spreadsheet of TV and movie premieres (and I started a new tab for ones coming out next year, too) -- just to keep up with things. This is the last half of the 2025 now, so here's everything I have from yesterday til the end of the year.
I won't necessarily watch ALL of this, but it's things I might be interested in, and I find that it's helped to have a basic guide as to what comes out wh…
@rasterweb@mastodon.socialAt one of my previous jobs the Executive Director (who also had a law degree) once lost hours of work because they were writing a letter and not once saved the file.
Some applications require you to hit "Save" or to at least turn on the "auto-save" feature. They did neither of those things.
I use an online spreadsheet and while the (exported) file is just 2.6MB I got a warning that the history data was taking up over 600MB!

This month, we declare spreadsheets the most popular software programming environment of all time; in the Library section, we learn how to use Lotus 1-2-3 for science reading "Spreadsheet Physics" by Charles Misner and Patrick Cooney; and in our Vidéothèque section, we discover that Excel is a Turing-complete, functional programming language through the eyes of Dr. Felienne Hermans.
@joe@toot.worksI spent way too much time last night working on a planning spreadsheet for a vacation that I'm not planning on taking until next year.

@gedankenstuecke@scholar.social«Microsoft, with the single most "Who asked for this?" application of AI I've seen yet: They're jamming it into Excel. Excel! The spreadsheet program! The one that is already very good at what it does»
I mean "very good" is dubious, given how Excel famously turned gene names into dates – to the point that geneticists rather renamed the genes instead of hoping for MS to get its shit together. Still, turning it outright into a biased random number generator beats that 🤣

@paulomalley@c.imStop spinning your wheels trying to understand those complex Excel formulas.
Seriously. Let AI do it for you. 🤖
Microsoft Copilot now gives instant, plain English explanations right inside your spreadsheet. It’s a massive time-saver for anyone working with complex data... Or even just someone new to Excel altogether.
Could this be the best Excel update in years?

@adamhotep@infosec.exchangeThere are so many references to Trump in the Epstein files that a thousand FBI agents are working around the clock to flag them, presumably so they can be expunged in some manner:
A log exists tracking the mentions of Donald Trump in the files, and that there were approximately 100,000 files containing roughly 300,000 pages. Individual analysts were told to flag mentions of Trump by document and page number by logging them in an Excel spreadsheet, then they’d hand …
