RE: [ukha_d] Raspberry Pi - £15 computer



Talking of Excel, I was at a clients office recently and was watching
this
so called IT guy putting together a spreadsheet where he was using a
deskto=
p
calculator to add up the numbers and then manually enter then into the
spreadsheet!

I was there to look at their technology and I decided to ask this guy some
tech questions.

I asked him, looking at your spreadsheet, what if you changed quantity of
one of the items in your spreadsheet, how would you re-calculate all the
other entries! His answer was to use the calculator again=85

This guy made 2 short planks look like a computer. In the end I decided not
to work with this company as I would end up doing all the work myself.

The correct answer to the helpdesk question of "how do I get more than
65K
rows in Excel" is not to use multiple pages, it is build a proper
database
based system that can be supported when you leave the department!
