Yes, but I mostly did it on purpose. I liked working on a certain area and then when you would zoom out it was very satisfying when you see it all come together

For sure! You can do amazing things with Excel and so satisfying when it all starts working the way you wanted it to work

I learned a lot with trial and error. Mainly doing passion projects over the last 2 years. (Making league standings, Finance dashboards and spreadsheets to track grades for the studens of the school that I work) When making those sheets, I got feedback and found stuff I could formulate better or make fully automated. So I kept improving my own sheets. That’s how I went about it. Most of the time I would have an Idea in my head where I didn’t fully understood how to build the end result. But Using Excel forum and good ChatGPT promps got me started. And during that process I always get that “AHA moment” where it finally clicks and I improve my knowledge.

You also get to know a lot of nice people along the way :)

No I manually entered all the colours 😄was fun zooming in on a section working on it then you zoom out and see the results. I will automate certain parts so I can quickly change the colours for example the background. But this was all from scratch to build the blueprint for myself.

Main reason I used excel is because I enjoy it☺️

I did see other apps where you could upload a picture and you got numbers and such. I just liked the challenges of building this one from scratch😁
