I can't believe it. Microsoft seem to have removed the DD/MM/YY[YY] format for dates in Excel. I've been mostly using LibreOffice, is this a new bug in excel?

The Microsoft-Dilemma - #Europe as a #Software Colony (43min)

This is how the #EU is paying a secret number of Millions to #Microsoft in order to stay less secure, more dependend, less self-empowered, and more corrupt.
And this was known even before the US went totally crazy, risking our future big time.
So let's change and take back control using #FOSS software and open standards for true competition and actually according to our own rules for a change.
My brother needs a spreadsheet program secure enough to use for patient data.
Excel is MS and works like shit on Linux.
LibreCalc has terrible UI (so by brother says).
Google Sheet is Google and is not secure enough.
Suggestions? =)
Writing Regular Expressions in Excel is my new hammer.
I'm sure I'll confuse coworkers but I'm finding it a gain over nested Left/Right/Mid/Find functions.
Does anyone know if there’s already a petition or initiative in #Germany ot the #EU calling on higher education institutions (Universitäten and Fachhochschulen) to switch to #opensource software?
Specifically, I’m looking for efforts to stop the use of #Microsoft (Windows, Outlook, Exchange, MS Office, etc.) in administration and to move away from teaching tools like #Word,#Excel, or #visualstudio.
I'm looking for something similar to this: https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/appell-an-die-hochschulrektorenkonferenz-zur-nutzung-sozialer-medien
@nora If you want to hate yourself: #Excel & #SAP.
If you value your sanity: *Any code editor that can do #TSV files & #LibreOffice Calc!
So langsam schließen sich die letzten Lücken in meiner Sammlung antiker Windows- und Office-Disketten. Excel 3.0a lief als letzte Excel-Fassung noch original unter Windows 3.0 und war außerdem das erste mit einer grafischen Symbolleiste! Dieses unglaubliche Feature wurde damals auch noch groß auf der Verpackung beworben!
Hier ein perfektes Set der deutschen Vollversion mit 1.2MB, 5.25 Zoll KryoFlux Images. Natürlich wieder inkl. aller IMGs und sauberer JPG-Scans sämtlicher Datenträger:

Viel Spaß und gute Nacht ihr Wahnsinnigen!
Hallo #excel|Menschen, was ist das denn? Die Kollegin weiß natürlich nicht was sie getan hat, war damit dann aber komplett lahmgelegt und konnte nichts mehr tun. Mit einmal per win + D minimieren war dann wenigstens wieder der Cursor "frei" und sie konnte speichern.
Beim Speichern hat's dann was von Zirkelbezug gesagt. (Ich war nur am Telefon, habe nichts davon gesehen)
What's the opposite of using #AI like #Midjourney to crank out plastic shit?
Tatsuo Horiuchi's approach
He retired and deciding to take up painting dreamy landscapes...
With #Microsoft #Excel
!?

his website:
the table thing ties back into into #vestal, the binary patcher for old soundwares (https://codeberg.org/unspeaker/vestal - that one isn't passing its ci yet, baaad code, baaaaaad developer!)
that could sure use some interactivity, at least in development. would keep me focused.
it also ties back into #tek, whose entire thing is reimplementing #ableton's "#excel for music" schtick in a terminal, so, again, tables!
or, more properly, collapsible table-trees... not a new idea, more like a lost technology!
Managing data efficiently in spreadsheets often requires modifying the structure of your tables.
Whether you’re organizing financial records or creating detailed reports, knowing how to add columns in #Excel can help streamline your workflow.
In this guide, we will explore multiple ways to add columns in #Excel sheet using the #ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor as an example, including shortcuts, right-click options, and inserting multiple columns at once: https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2025/03/how-to-add-columns-in-excel-sheet?utm_source=social&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=fosstodon
Throwback to that one time almost 16 years ago when I spent about two weeks figuring out why Excel wasn't showing images and turned out because someone copied Perl code into PHP and typoed 0A as A0.

Did you know you can use Python in Excel?
Check out some of the many reasons why you should think about diving in.
Just need to move some left over files from #OneDrive and convert an #Excel sheet to #LibreOffice, which contains a macro that needs to be rewritten, and I won’t have to renew my Office subscription!
That means that later this year I won’t be using Microsoft stuff anymore. Google has been shown the door earlier this year. Feels good!
You can paint in Excel (so presumably also in LibreOffice Calc too).
I am genuinely boggled at how detailed the pictures are.
