The movie was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/all_quiet_on_the_western_front_2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">well received, with good ratings<\/a>, and won 4 Oscars earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I was surprised to learn that the lead actor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1234899\/all-quiet-on-the-western-fronts-star-plotted-his-performance-on-an-excel-spreadsheet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Felix Kammerer, used Microsoft Excel<\/a> during the filming.<\/p>\n<p>Because scenes are not usually filmed in chronological order, Kammerer used his Excel spreadsheet to keep track of his character&#8217;s emotional journey. Then, before filming new scenes, he could check the Excel notes, and be at the correct &#8220;level of despair&#8221; based on the timeline.<\/p>\n<h3>Excel Battles<\/h3>\n<p>Making that movie sounded exhausting, and worse than the battles that we have with our Excel files!<\/p>\n<p>But, if we ever do have to go to war with our spreadsheets, we could wear brick-style camouflage, to blend in with the cells.<\/p>\n<p>I took this camouflage photo at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warmuseum.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Canadian War Museum<\/a>, and I&#8217;m sure we could make an Excel version, if needed!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spreadsheet-day.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/warmuseum_camouflagebrick01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"warmuseum_camouflagebrick01\" style=\"border: 0px currentcolor; border-image: none; display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"warmuseum_camouflagebrick01\" src=\"https:\/\/spreadsheet-day.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/warmuseum_camouflagebrick01_thumb.jpg\" width=\"356\" height=\"468\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Excel for Dating<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen plenty of stories about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contextures.com\/exceldatesfixformat.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">problems with dates in Excel<\/a>, and sad stories about Excel automatically <a href=\"https:\/\/contexturesblog.com\/archives\/2016\/06\/09\/numbers-change-to-dates-in-excel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changing imported numbers to dates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But I saw a different twist on the Excel Date&nbsp; stories this week \u2013 people are keeping track of their dates in a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like a great idea to me, but apparently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purewow.com\/wellness\/dating-spreadsheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some people find it ridiculous<\/a>.&nbsp; Anyway, in the TikTok video shown below, you can see one of these dating spreadsheets, complete with pie charts, column charts and line charts.
