I know a lot of people hate them, it’s fashionable to hate them in the same way as It’s fashionable to say “oh I can’t do Maths” (nothing against my brothers-in-neurodiversity)

I bloody love a spreadsheet. I’ve worked on some crackers over the years. They’re more art than science… The presentation… The innovation… Learning a new function is like learning a new technique… They’re never finished or perfect, you just have to stop making them one day and share them with the world.

I will die on this hill. Spreadsheets are art.

Edit : is this supposed to be an unpopular opinion generally or amongst the nerds of Lemmy? 😁

    If done correctly, I agree they can be an art form. Especially with the right font as well.

    I personally have a specific font I have for a personal spreadsheet that I consider a personal work of art. Everything is neatly organized in such a way that it makes gking through it super easy, IMO, and is aesthetically pleasing to my tastes also.

    Although, what I do for that spreadsheet is somewhat basic compared to what others do, so I cannot say much with authority. Either way, I actually really like well and intentionally designed spreadsheets.
