Now I can tell my grandchildren how back in my day you had to Google Excel formulas.

Really helpful post.

Explaining old Excel files has always been my biggest headache.

How accurate has Claude been for you on legacy files ?

Hamza Khalid's avatar

Thank you! It’s solid at understanding old formulas and explaining them in simple terms but I still double check outputs in very complex sheets, what kind of files are you working with?

Ahmed Saeed's avatar

Mostly reporting and finance sheets.

Legacy files are usually where the real pain starts.

I've avoided Excel forever. Now it's great to use Claude Co-Work to build it out for me. Really helpful newsletter. You got a real asset here that people can save for the future.
