Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Oooh, GPT-6 Astra has arrived. 🤗 That was earlier than expected. ⏱️ Time for some token-burning, I think. 🔥 000
Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 03/09/2026It's just a shame that the last-used option doesn't display as the main one. If it did, Centre Across Selection would be a single click away. Oh, and excuse the pedantry, but it's also the only option that's not in title case, even though it is in the Format Cells window. Not sure why. 010
Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I know that merged cells are a contentious topic in the Excel community. Some people love them, some people hate them, and others are indifferent, but it's great to have the options in one place now. 200
Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 03/09/2026It's great to finally see Centre Across Selection in the Merge & Centre dropdown. For many a year, users voiced their disapproval about having to go into the Format Cells window to find it, but now you can save a click or two. 100

Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Ever noticed how, in Excel functions that accept both 1 and -1 as argument options, typing -1 causes AutoComplete to show the description for 1? I've noticed this before without noticing it, if that makes sense. But for the first time today, it caused me to have a bit of a cognitive hiccup. 000

Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 22/07/2026This should be a cause for concern for all of us. But is it a surprise?

Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 08/05/2026It's just a shame I have to keep asking it to "update the results" because Excel doesn't have real-time updating capabilities. That's something we need for things like this. Nevertheless, I've run out of Copilot credits now because I asked too much. 000
Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 08/05/2026I asked Copilot to "build me a really cool dashboard" to display the live UK council election results. With a few other quick prompts and minor adjustments, the result was pretty good. 100
Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Today is 1st May, which means we've completed the first third of the year! I know many of you are fond of 3D pie charts, so what better way to visualise this than getting Copilot to generate one? 000

Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Oh dear. The Copilot button has moved position. The worst thing is we now have fewer selectable cells because of it. Who asked for this? 000

Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Personally, I wish they’d do away with the clock change twice a year. It causes far more hassle than it’s worth, messes with our circadian rhythm, and has been shown to increase road accidents. It’s also a good reminder why you should always store dates and times in UTC! 010
Andrew Moss @andrewmoss.bsky.social · 28/03/2026In the early hours of tomorrow, the clocks go forward an hour in the UK and across Europe. Here, it happens at 01:00, although it might be 02:00 or 03:00 for you. That means any UK time between 01:00 and 01:59 on 29/03/2026 doesn’t exist. 100
