Whatever you (justifiably) think of the guy, Martin Shkreli is insanely good with Excel. He uploaded quite a few videos of himself doing stock analysis. For example: https://youtu.be/jFSf5YhYQbw?t=211

I have a few decades of experience writing software, but I still aspire to one day be as good with my tools as he is with his.

I skipped through it and the only impressive stuff I saw is his APM with clicking, copying and reformatting. I also saw him copy and paste whole columns of values and then manually replacing some with new values, which is super error-prone. What should look at to understand your impressions?

Well, maybe what’s he’s doing isn’t just moving data around and copying formatting.

Maybe try answering a similar question using code and see how easy it is

If it is more than that, and you sound very sure of it, please show me. I am honestly interested.
