What? How can you sum the numbers in a row without writing a line of code? I've seen lots of people using Excel for simple and complex tasks, and every single one of them wrote code to accomplish their task.

- TeMPOraL 6y agoAs a bonus, you'll see Excel filling the next cell with a formula for summing, which you can ignore if you don't care, but which provides a seamless opportunity for you to learn a bit of formula language. Step by step, these opportunities will let you become a more proficient Excel user.
- enriquto 6y agoSounds cool. I never used the "buttons" on spreadsheets, but they are definitely a nice learning resource for some people. Still, it's easier to just look at a list of functions described in plain English, than try to interpret the hyeroglyphs that appear on the buttons.
- jmiserez 6y agoActually the functions are always shown in the user's language. The formulas are translated even for files created in other languages, which makes it a lot easier for beginners.
