I once had to have a Skype call with a Google Docs extension dev because I broke their extension somehow. Lmao
They couldn’t even tell me how they fixed it, they just fucked with it til it worked. I was using a spread sheet to keep track of Dr’s appointments for a group home, but wanted to automatically export it to an individual’s Google Calendar. I can’t remember what was broken, but they ended up having to put in some crazy formula to get it to work correctly, when it should have been a pretty easy function.
I like it, but is it programmer humor?
Edit: typos
For those that think putting anything in excel more complicated than =total(a1:a10) is programming
I don’t like to brag but I’ve used the XLOOKUP function once or twice. B)
