Mistakes we know (but we still make them)

they like things to be awkward to do

We use Excel for our timesheets at work. After every four weeks you clear out the previous one and then supposedly save as with the new period as the name. I was forever just clicking save when I'd cleared out my times for the last period and losing the info so I cracked the password and updated the code to automatically save as with the name as the end of the new period.

I then offered to update anyones in the building who required it but out of about 150 people 3 took me up on the offer. Today was the start of a new 4 week period and I've already seen 4 people come and take the signing in book back to their desk to re-create their time sheets. Bless them!!!
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
"Never heard of "xlt" files?"

Sure, but in this case it was a 2 min job to just change a little code in the existing workbook that had a couple of flaws.
