I think if teachers and professors started creating tasks/work that surround excel usage it’s a great way to learn by doing and showing the value of excel both in high school and Uni/college. Its such a key skill employers are looking for and not too difficult to pick up on your own.
It is amazing how so many people marvel or claim “you’re a wizard” when you can demonstrate basic and intermediate excel functions that help automate work tasks, and you’re like, “uh no I just watched a video to learn how to do it.” But also I’ve also been amazed at the resistance to learn how to continue using excel in more effective and advanced ways by co-workers.

I told my boss that I could take a picture of our handwritten recipes with my phone, copy it into a word file, convert them (in our case, increase the yields), PLUS print them out, all in a few minutes, and he looked at me like I was a complete idiot who was wasting his time.

Yeah you might wanna get a new job. Having a short-sighted boss is a pretty clear indication that the place is never going to expand and flourish.
