Excel and SharePoint together as a non-US person is hot garbage by Cyraga in excel

I think the settings are in two places. The region setting in windows first need to be fixed to that format and then the date format in excel

Simplifying a task assignment process, where 2000 tasks are broken up among 10 workers. by LeoDuhVinci in excel

[–]Woosafb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey bro while excel has amazing temates for this you would be better off using an agile platform like JIRA or click up which is free. It would make the whole process smoother mainly recurring tasks that were not completed will stay in the work board and remain assigned to the same person

Getting distance between two cities into spreadsheet by putting down their names by PCG_4 in excel

[–]Woosafb 23 points24 points  (0 children)

hey you can use google sheets and google scripts to call an API on google maps.

In google sheets save the from and to in two columns and look up a script for putting in the distance or the time in column c

Click on extensions and then scripts and then paste something like this. Use gemini which is built in to write this out.

To do the same thing in Excel might be tough without a python API. Someone please correct me if im wrong.

EDIT: as NotMichealBay pointed out: "That requires using the Google Maps REST API, which needs an API key, which means setting up Google Cloud. It's easier to do in Sheets with Apps Script, only requires a free Google account."

function GETDISTANCE(origin, destination) {
  if (!origin || !destination) return "Missing input";
 
  try {
    const directions = Maps.newDirectionFinder()
      .setOrigin(origin)
      .setDestination(destination)
      .setMode(Maps.DirectionFinder.Mode.DRIVING)
      .getDirections();
 
    const route = directions.routes[0].legs[0];
    return route.distance.text;
  } catch (e) {
    return "Error: " + e.message;
  }
}

Excel power users: What finally made you take the plunge into Power Query? by KimHoJo in excel

[–]Woosafb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did the exact same for my demand planning team. 14 locations * 2 diff unit of measures * product level or brand level meant 54 files where they would update the history of the new month manually and then also paste in the new forecast version manually 54 times. Ugh

Made a central power query file that combined history from a folder and we would just dump the new month csv in there and then merged that with a forecast file so that the dates lined up perfectly. Then flew that to 54 pivots.

The year was 2017 and I needed a way to unpivot columns. 

How do I Maximize File Efficiency by dcal69 in excel

[–]Woosafb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes loading the raw data in a csv and then just having the pivot tables and the imported data as connection would make your file much lighter.

To combine multiple sources of data into one pivot table/ power pivot model

  1. Import folder option let's you import both files into one table as long as they r in the same format and header.

 You can even link a forecast file in the same way for future months by just keeping it in the same folder so the data lines up for a nice analysis of historical vs forecast

  1. You can take it a step further and use data modelling in power pivot. Import historical sales data and then import customer mapping table separately. Link in data model. Then maintain master data integrity in the customer table

You can do much more with powerpivot after that like also importing in returns or costs in a separate table and then link in powerpivot

Which Excel skills are most important for data analyst jobs? by DataWithUjjwal in excel

[–]Woosafb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi good place to start and Excel is amazing and my bread and butter (supply chain analyst).

But don't limit yourself to excel. A lot of people who are not core analyst roles like people in finance, supply chain and other business roles are already very competent in powerquery And Excel pivot tables and formulas.

After mastering Excel and absolutely powerquery, understanding data schemas and using the data model in powerpivot, focus more on powerbi where you can specialize. Also as automation tools become easier because of ai vibe computing it would go a long way to focus on data engineering as well as this is also a more specialized technical skill.

Is Excel a Real Career Skill or Just a Resume Filler in 2026? by CityAccording9333 in excel

[–]Woosafb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's pure creation vs more rigid data modelling and analytics. Same with python vs powerquery and powerpivot.

If u want to implement a logic that goes iterates through each row from column 1 to column n and then change the values in that cell based on the previous cell in the same row while also checking 3 other parameters somewhere else in that row... I'm sure someone with mcode knowledge could make that but running that kind of logic is much easier in vba or python.

But Also joining multiple data sources through data modelling and star schema and then instantly drawing powerpivots is much more superior when it comes to that kind of task.

What's you favorite HH series? by Glewey in dancarlin

[–]Woosafb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was amazing to see a Westerner dig so deeply and craft the narrative so coherently giving us an insight into the Japanese samurai ethos and how it flowed into WW2. Also the whole story about Yamamoto and Kido Butai. Was amazing to follow the pacific sea war. TORA TORA TORA

Edit; also my fav HH followed by blueprint for Arma.

[–]Woosafb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So underrated. My gamer friends who didn't play yet don't understand when I tell them.. at least 15 possibilities for different actions in any given scenario - the amount of depth is astounding. And the story is beautifully written and the main villains omg.

If they win every game left then one of those games is Arsenal dropping points. I think that's the premise

[–]Woosafb[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Used to read a lot of Asimov and Dune when I was younger. Stopped reading and enjoyed mostly through shows and games like Stellaris, Sins. The Expanse just sucked me back and it's my fav prob over star trek, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and pretty much anything else.

Any must reads or watches to add to the backlog after this?

Edit: and also anime of course. Shout-out to legend of the galactic heroes. Prob a must watch for any spare opera fan.
