I always thought I was good at Excel. At work, I needed to make a formula that retrieves the last word. Can you do it without looking it up on Google?..
By the way, those who wrote Excel formulas really overcomplicated things. To begin with, they made formulas in native languages for many Excel language packs. Czechs, Germans, Russians, Finns, Hungarians, Poles, Turks, and many others must use their own set of formulas in their language. To figure out that RIGHT() is the same as ПРАВСИМВ() requires quite a bit of savvy. However, there is a translator (http://en.excel-translator.de/translator/)
Formula separators are used from the current locale of the operating system. So, on a Mac, I am used to separating parameters with a comma, while on Windows, it’s a semicolon. Of course, you can always adjust this, but why they even mess with the locale like this is unclear.
Moreover, there is an R1C1 reference style, which is often convenient, but it requires formulas to be entered differently. It is turned on/off from deep settings.
But so far, nobody has come up with anything better than Excel.

Ran 10 km with Masha in 57 mins. Barely convinced her not to run further 😉

From aliexpress, a keyboard case for note tab has arrived. It became very convenient. Almost like a laptop;)

I eagerly “devoured” two books by @[100001260941134:2048:Anton Brezhestovsky] – “Van Gogh and Hamsters, and 38 More Slices of English for Every Day” and its sequel, “Picasso Stole the Wheel”.
The books are extremely pleasant, interesting, and useful for anyone at any level of English proficiency—from Elementary to Upper Intermediate. They are written and designed in a quaintly “childish” style, but that’s not a bad thing—the author keeps it engaging. I am confident that everyone will find something new and useful for themselves, no matter how proficient they consider themselves to be in the language.
The books in PDF format are perfect for reading on a tablet. They are probably also available in print.
