Which MS Office software are worth learning?
>>
>>108683251
Excel is pretty handy.
>>
none of them

>>108683251
Excel is the most useful. Learning how to use Agents is better.

>ms office
>worth "learning"
>having to "learn" ms office in the first place
choose none you fucking retard. kys.

You should've learned how to use all of those in highschool. "advanced" Excel you could learn in an afternoon.

Why aren’t posters like this just banned?

>>108683656
If you need to "learn" how to use Microsoft Office, you do not deserve to be near a computer. Get wrecked, you dumb faggot.

>>108683668
Unlike you I wasn’t born knowing XLOOKUP, I had to learn it from the docs.

I like how yous guys openly admit that MS office suite is intuitive and easy to use.
Clearly a superior product to applel, Google and libre options
>>
>>108683702
You missed the point. All office software is intuitive and easy to use if you do not have a room temp IQ.
>>
>>108683251
Excel and Access

Excel is the only good one.
Microsoft word and PowerPoint are yuck in file format. They are putridly complex programs for how small they are for what they do functionally.

Outlook is alright but the hotkeys are obscure and hidden.
Their cloud software is annoying.
Their teams software is annoying.
Their SharePoint is... Useful actually...

Excel is such a strange piece of tech, at first it wasn't widely adopted, but it's exceptionally useful. It is a long term hit.

>>108683708
Really if you're making those low grade annoying microsoft word documents by hand, then you're doing something wrong.

There was a better way to do it from the start with C and basic text. At least you don't need to deal with all the excess encapsulation of the program file's data, with a basic txt file and a basic png file. Then the introduction of json made that even easier to deal with. But because all modern day offices are keen to live permanently 200 years in the past, we are left with legacy hand written file formats from the 1600s.

>>108683708
All those file formats are the basic .png file but with more steps.

We can return them to their rightful form.

Excel has a special place in the future of tech, but not as a regular spreadsheet, but as a code organizing agent.

I find it strange that AI was integrated first into a coding environment instead of excel cells.

The combination of section select, recommended AI section select, AI expand and minimize in combination with a programming file would make a programming environment a pure heavenly interface. But the best interface systems have strangely not been widely adopted, we could be having hyper space tech in interface design by now.

Don't be so fucking dirty, lass.
You know you were speaking specifically about Microsoft.
You could've clearly said "hurr durr all office blah blah" however you choose to do that after the fact.

Excel is the most useful, followed by Word, then Powerpoint. This extends to the Google web apps too (Sheets, Docs, and Slides respectively). In the wageslave world, people will be working with either of these.

Arguably more important than actually knowing how to use the applications well is knowing how to use the scripting languages that interact with them, VBA (Visual Basic) and Apps Script (Javascript). You will be 100x more productive and valuable than retards who are doing shit manually like it's the 80s.

Honestly, spreadsheet work isn't a bad way to learn programming. A spreadsheet is essentially a visual representation of an array, and you have a concrete usecase, motivation, and reward. VBA's lack of features in particular actually forces you to learn and write implementations yourself if you want to do anything ambitious.

Kek, yeah, kind of true. Make it happen, breh

Microsoft recently posted these. The classic Excel ad.

And a new play on the classic showing off AI.
