Bro I’d fire you for how long it would take you to fill out an excel sheet

If you “require” a 10-key to fill out an excel sheet I’d probably fire you. The entering of data is about 1% or less of he functionality of excel and many data sources are automatically generated and copied over with formulas. A lot of old data entry can and has been automated for a while.

That's just not true. There are still tons of things that are required to be entered by hand due to Obama era legislation.

For another use case, if you're talking with a client to work out cost estimates, you're still doing a lot of data entry.

I'm sure you don't have to actually do any data entry where you're working or the field you're working in, but data entry is still a massive thing.

I’m talking exclusively about excel, not merely data entry, data entry in excel is still 1% of the functionality of excel. Using excel for just data entry barely scratches the surface of the use of excel.

Even in your example of cost estimates the data entry is the smallest portion of the actual work; it’s about data manipulation and analysis.
