Somehown I think the literature on excel is lacking. Do you know any reference which shows 'how to use it' in your sense?

- sokoloff 5y agoI think learning has changed as well. It’s no longer a (traditional canonical) reference that’s most useful (though Microsoft surely has one on each version of excel) but rather “how do I formulate a search to help myself here?” Programmers have been doing GDD* for a while. Other knowledge workers will catch up or be left behind their peers. I use Excel weekly, but not daily. The last thing I remember googling in it was last week and it was (for the fiftieth time) “excel format as millions”. * Google Driven Development
- criddell 5y agoSoftware used to come with big beautiful manuals. I remember getting Borland Quattro and the box was a cube because the manuals were so thick. I think there are a lot of benefits to printed references but for me the biggest was accidentally finding something cool while looking for something else.
