Of course, very few people fully understand every bit of Excel, the difference is that most of us can do our basic spreadsheets and just ignore the bits we don't need or understand without cowering in the corner for fear that some exotic pivot table thingy will break loose and bite our fingers off.<br /><br />Of course, you can appease her request for more "working out" by adding in a few (unnecessary) intermediate steps to your template. You could even print it in blue Comic Sans so it looks like you used a pen. My guess is that she would still find some other reason to object to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875778102529849597.post-38730127145596783702010-02-20T02:41:13.270+00:002010-02-20T02:41:13.270+00:00Penny, she'd first have to ask what a blog is,...Penny, she'd first have to ask what a blog is, I'd bet.<br /><br />Koala, please. The shipper I worked for insisted that all calculations be shown on the back of the folder. The folders were special ordered pre-printed with what work had to be shown... weight, $/cube, fuel surcharge, docs, customs fees, blah blah blah. Heaven forbid you work it out on the computer and just staple your spreadsheet in there. "You can change things in the computer. If you work it out right here on the folder, you just cross out anything you want to change so we can see what you changed."
