    Thats easy.

    • open Excel
    • Set the desired image as background
    • colour the required cells on top of the image in the company colours (you may have to resize cells)
    • open the snipping tool
    • take a screenshot of the new image with company colours

    Congratulations, you just used THE best program on your pc to finish another task.

      Reasons you tell the it department you need the best cpu available and more ram than their servers: complex simulation software and autocad

      Actual reason you need it: thousands of calculation cells in a single spreadsheet that references other spreadsheets

        Lies.

        It’s so we can load our model into x plane or doom or something. You know. To check the real world physics.

        It’s either that or we build a scale model and blow it up…

        As someone who will spend 10 hours figuring out how to automate a daily task that takes 8 minutes, I feel attacked!

          A boring routine, even if it’s short, is a distraction from stuff that require more focus. Also it’s a source of human errors.

          At least that’s how I rationalize it because, really, it’s just more fun to work on automating stuff.
