I remember a story my dad told me about a guy at his work who didn't really know how to use Excel, and so had dragged the cell and column spacing out in order to have one huge cell, in which he typed all of his calculations - which he did manually with a calculator before typing them all longhand into his giant cell ๐Ÿ˜

Ahaha, what was he even trying to do? What was the purpose of that Excel sheet?
