Spreadsheets
- Documents
Spreadsheets and CSVs: add a column, write the formula, build the chart, or turn a messy export into something with real headers and types.
A situation it fits
The sales CSV export is a mess: headers on row 7, three junk columns, dates in two formats. You need it usable.
9 scenarios in the bank answer to Spreadsheets. The rest are in the game.
Skills it gets confused with
These share a family with Spreadsheets, which is another way of saying they are the ones you might reach for by mistake.
- Internal CommsWriting aimed at your own colleagues: the announcement, the status update, the org-change note. Cares about house format and tone, not file wrangling.
- PDFWork on PDF files themselves: pull out text or tables, merge or split them, fill in forms, add a watermark, or OCR a scan so it becomes searchable.
- PresentationsSlides as a file: build a deck, edit one someone sent you, work with layouts and speaker notes. Anywhere a .pptx goes in or comes out.
- Word DocumentsProduce or edit a real .docx: a report, a letter, a template with proper headings and a table of contents. Word specifically, not PDF and not a spreadsheet.
Knowing what Spreadsheets does is the easy half. Telling it apart from the others under time pressure is the game.
