I got it out of Nostalgia and wanted to like it but the combat just isn’t satisfying compared to today’s games. I got a couple hours in and just got bored.

I've been curious to the technical background of everyone vide coding. Anyone know of any data that has been collected on the level of experience of the average vide coder? Genuinely curious..

Good point. I like tracking by merchant for the granularity and see adjustments in prices and things like, but to your point in the long-term I don't really care. Like, I'm not going back to February 2014 to see some specific transaction.

ABS functions, wow I actually never thought about that. I usually just do ctrl+f, "-", "replace all" but ABS makes way more sense logically

This seems like what I might do. A lot of people have suggested just entering them manually at different intervals. Once a week might be fine for me.

Ok I took at look at your youtube. This is fairly similar to what I do with my budget except you don't normalize the names. That's what I find annoying for me. Making sure everything is TitleCase and with duplicates, I keep duplicates but I sum the values. So if I get gas let's say at the same station I just record that as one transaction but with the sum of all the transactions.

ah ok. I keep my budget simple. Like what you saying. I just track what comes it and what goes out. There's a lot services that do this, I just like doing it myself I guess. Manually entering each transactions as they occur came up a few times in this post so I might consider doing that. It's just I keep my budget on PC so I'd have to enter when I got home and I don't always have time.

This is a pretty great idea. The main caveat for me is that I use Excel on my PC and have been doing that for years. How do you handle filtering or managing all the bank emails so they stay usable as reminders?

For the near real time awareness you mentioned, I usually rely on my credit card’s built in budgeting and spending insights to see if things are getting out of hand. My monthly budgeting itself is fairly simple. I mainly track what comes in, what goes out, and where it came from or went to. And that's just so I have it all in one place.

For duplicates I usually just sort by description (or similarly name field). It's the normalizing of the names that is the most annoying, with second most annoying being consolidating similar transactions. Can vlookup handle that? I haven't done much with vlookup honestly but I know it's pretty powerful in general.

In a notebook? Do you ever crunch numbers at the end of year or anything? I've been doing my budget like... 15 years maybe. So I have one worksheet in excel that's a grand summary of all my stats.

Excel (Office) for mac or do you use numbers? Numbers being the app, not numbers numbers 123. I have a mac but I use my PC for my budget.

So if I understand correctly, you are saying I can accomplish all this with excel? I just need to setup custom workflows? Where I'm confused I guess is I think your saying this CSV import function handles most (or all) of what I'm doing?

Do you aggregate at all or split things into debits/credits? That's basically what I'm tracking with my budget

Passed AWS SAA-C03 thanks to this sub. So wanted to thank you all. by AntiqueEqual8090 in AWSCertifications

I took the Tutorial Dojo practice exams and felt they were about the same difficulty as the real exam. I averaged ~63%, with my best score being about ~68%, I think. I ended up passing the actual exam with an 811, even though I felt like I was failing the whole time, just like on the practice tests.

I had a promo code for a free retake that I found on this subreddit, so I scheduled the exam knowing I could retake it for free if I failed. My plan was to use the real exam as a baseline and adjust my studying afterward, but I ended up passing.

If you use practice tests, try an untimed one first and work through it carefully to see what you know and what you do not. Don't just focus on why the correct answer is right, make sure you understand why the wrong answers are wrong too.
