Eight full days after a visit to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, and we are all still suffering from the stubborn virus we picked up during our trip.
In an ideal world, only healthy children would visit these museums, and even then everything would be thoroughly and regularly disinfected to prevent any diseases from spreading.
In reality, our experience at any children museum has been a 100% chance of an enjoyable trip, along with a 100% chance of infection.
As we continue to nurse ourselves back to health, I encourage everyone to think about their Excel spreadsheets, and all the “Excel germs” that might be lurking in the shadows. Specifically:
- Do you have inconsistencies in your data?
- Is your data structured in an organized and scalable manner?
- Do you have various errors or broken formulas that you haven’t fixed yet?
If you answered “YES” to any of these, I highly encourage you to scrub and sanitize your spreadsheet.
That way, your future self, and anyone else you planned on sharing your workbook with will not get “infected” with the extra work and hassle of cleaning up those mistakes later.
Not sure where to start? Leave a comment briefly describing your Excel germs, and I’ll see how I can help you make a full and speedy recovery.
