The old 80/20 rule for software—that 80% of a program’s users use only 20% of a program’s features— doesn’t apply to Microsoft Excel. Instead, this program probably operates under what could be called the 95/5 rule: 95% of Excel users use a mere 5% of the program’s power. On the other hand, most people know that they could be getting more out of Excel if they could only get a leg up on building formulas and using functions. | X Itm. ciYwitc. and nu ruh mublc.
