Aspen Red Forest, hand-made entirely with MS Excel 2007

Last week, I shared a pixel art piece I created using MS Paint, and I was truly grateful for the warm response from the community 💖 This time, I took on a new challenge, creating a fully animated pixel art scene using only Microsoft Excel 2007. Yes, Excel! Over the past week, I manually filled 320x200 cells, across 20 sheets, using just 9 colors. I then compiled 20 screenshots into a GIF to showcase the animation. The final artwork exists solely as a Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (.xlsx) file.

Easter egg for office workers: if you go onto Excel and press ctrl+right, then ctrl+down, you will reach cell XFD1048576. If you put a dot in there, then ctrl+A and fill every cell in black, you can then print 34 million black pages from your office printer and get fired

Okay so in my Computer Applications class we learned about conditional formatting in Excel, where you can change the color of a cell by inputting certain values.

We're supposed to use it to model heat gradients in metals, but I found a better application:

New OC clones idea

His name is XL. He's average clone size, so people are naturally curious about what the name means. They ask if it's a dirty joke about his dingaling.

It's not. He pulls up some files. He's the quartermaster. He uses Space Excel, and it's not CALLED Excel, but he Excels at it. Hence XL.

His friends in two other battalions are Spread and Sheets. All of them get asked the Is It A Dirty Joke question and ALL respond with The Same Fucking Move (files).

This clone's job is spreadsheets and he LOVES it.

One of the things I do for my job every January is update a spreadsheet that contains all of the research my org has funded, and what the researchers went on to do after -- basically "We gave them $50K to study this disease and since then they've earned $2M in grants from other sources to continue that study." Overall we've had a great ROI.

But I took over the sheet two years ago, I didn't build it from scratch, and I had to modify it -- stuff like "separating researcher name into first and last name columns", adding a column for source URLs, a column for brief biographies, etc.

It's always had some formatting issues -- cells wouldn't align properly, or wouldn't wrap, or the row height would be truncated, and I couldn't figure out why.

Until I just took a look at the cell styles and realized that the person who had it before me, who was in finance, had formatted every column regardless of content to be either Currency or Accounting.

I'm gonna have to rebuild this fucker from scratch. I'm gonna have to copy the entire thing to a new sheet, paste without formatting, and reformat everything.

*cracks knuckles* should be fun!

(This is an example of how I am just Like That.)

I need to finally cave and learn how to really use Excel, so does anyone have a recommendation for a good beginner Excel course that is TEXT BASED? I do not want to watch videos. Do not make me watch videos.

Free would be best, but anything under $30 would also be manageable right now.

I'm looking for a bare bones basics course to get started. There's things I've sort of learned how to do on my own over the years, but I'd rather start from scratch since I'm sure there's more efficient ways to do those things that I just don't know about.
