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.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

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.
Tell me you fucked up the ui of your program without telling me you fucked up the ui of your program.
According to Williams, you can also develop a formula 1 car with Excel...
Hange the styles of your cells?
