Why I do spreadsheets

@Blind_Bleeder said in Why I do spreadsheets:
I appreciate all the comments in this thread. For you young’uns I can see how you’d feel this is a waste of time, but for this old retired guy who spent over 30 years making analytical spreadsheets, this is a fun and relaxing way to enjoy the game at a different level. I don’t do this to make my gameplay better (because I’m not that good, to begin with). When I made my first spreadsheet for the game a few years ago, it was because I was tired of going back to the program screen to see where I was and what I had to do next. With this, I can keep playing and forget the program page, because all of the info is at my fingertips as I play.
If you think these two tabs are a waste of time, you should watch my video of the whole spreadsheet… https://youtu.be/X5jrIVRoJyQ
Cheers - and enjoy the game.
That’s a very good point. It is very annoying to have to keep going back and checking what I need to complete. Now you have me thinking about making one but I couldn’t make one as impressive as yours even if I tried. I’m about to watch your YouTube video. Happy 4th of July to you man! Hope you have a great day!

Happy 4th. Be safe out there!!!
Make it for how you play. It's more fun that way. But if you want a head start on a template, I am always willing to share.

Thank you. Just watched and liked the YouTube video. Very impressive.

Need guys like you to make a program to trade oil futures and make some real money.
Wouldn't that be something? About a decade ago, I made a spreadsheet to predict the outcomes of March Madness games. I never got it perfect, though. My highest was 92%.
Oil futures would be way more difficult because the greed of the people who own and peddle oil has to be taken into account. And, of course, how much money they need for their gold-lined walls or new yacht.

This isn’t for me, but Bleeder is as good of a guy as is out there and has created something that he utilizes and is graciously sharing for anyone that wants it. Can’t figure out how anyone can react negatively to him offering this to others
Thank you!

How this thread became controversial is... Insane?

How does someone, tell someone else, that they’re wasting THEIR time?

Another CPA!!! Saving Private Ryan is my favorite movie and back in 2006 you could get away with a lot more on PlayStation.

That guy said he was going to not play for the next 6 to 8 months and also not be on this forum during that time, so it may be awhile for him to respond. Hopefully he keeps his word, but I doubt he will, so it might not be so long before he responds to that.

Why? Huh? How? Who?
I should join a bird watching forum and comment on how birds are not my favorite animal. It will make sense when people say. Why did you say that?
Night!
