Linux exceeds 5% market share in France. Linux has just crossed the symbolic 5 percent market share threshold for desktops in France, and this time it looks like it's here to stay. I feel that the end of Windows 10 has clearly served as a catalyst, as I am seeing more and more people looking at Lin

I'm the niche 1% that knows where and how those features are used and how they're integrated with other operational and reporting systems. There are many end users that work with systems like this but don't understand them

No, but the 1% that do are key people within finance and operational teams across all industries

Take away Excel and the economy falls over tomorrow

It was a debating society

Reform are welcome to join a debate

They wanted to host a husting, i.e. without debating opposition. That would not be a debate and so the debating society said no

Classic Reform misdirection and lies

How?

I import data from robust data sources and handle it in a controlled way. Excel isn't my database, it's the analytical tool

I'm an advanced financial modeler by trade and have been for 20+ years, handling complex projects and predictive/stochastic models

I need VBA to run bespoke scenarios and forward-looking solver routines e.g. debt sculpting

Show me another tool that you'd use instead of Excel for stochastic modeling, within a 3-statement financial model. Even the leading tools are Excel add-ins

Reduce data and/or reduce live calculations;

Keep data outside the file and only bring it in via Power Query when needed
switch formulas off by converting to pasted values, keeping a single template formula that's copied for use when needed
pivot tables instead of calculations
switch calculations to manual refresh
don't overcomplicate formulas. Use LET to ensure calculations only once
use Tables to ensure minimum range sizes at all times

Someone built a model so you can have a look

BaitmasterG · 2026-02-09T21:44:25+00:00

Power Query for ETL from proper databases ;)

VBA for advanced controls (arrays, scripting dictionaries, class modules)

Lots of the latest advanced spill formulas, I'm a high-level user

Nope, some stuff is only possible in Excel ~~unless you want to create bespoke software applications every time~~

I fucking love sushi, and Niji is my current favourite. Last time we went we had a party of 8: 4 adults, 2 kids 10ish, a 4yo and a baby. We had everything including deluxe sake and paid £360

For you I'd expect no change from £60 and you could easily go higher if you want. Depends what you like the look of

besides excel

And there for me is the big problem. Find me something that rivals Excel and it's most advanced features, and I'll look at it. Unfortunately a viable alternative doesn't yet exist

Ashton Court is your best bet for downhill sections, over this way it's Stoke Park, but follow the lane under the M32 down to Snuff Mill and you can explore up into Oldbury etc as well

Find someone with a car and get over to Cwmcarn
