The boss button is supposed to take you to Excel (or a reasonable facsimile).
It's like you haven't even played a game while you were supposed to be working in the 1990s. What are you, under 40?

I used to experience this things from couple hours session on my pc.
I started to rely more on my keyboard which helped with right hand wrist pain ( vim for the win )
I then got a good chair, that when I need to type I have it sit upright so my back is completely straight, and when I take my controller to play a game for longer sessions ( dead cells ) I can tilt it back a little, keeping my back straight and still keep a good posture that doesn't hurt even after 5 hours ( not purelly 5 hours of just sitting and playing )
What helped me the most tho was getting one of those wrist training things and a pair of dumbells to train the parts off my body that would usually feel stiff after a longer session.
Yes? But that's already explicitly warned about.
At work I had to fill out a form which threats to my health could impact me. Next to chemicals or radiation, working at a desk for more than x hours a day was also listed as a potential source of bodily harm.

I love spreadsheets (hey, we all have our weird interests) so at first thought this was an ASD meme.
How is liking spreadsheets connected to autistic spectrum disorder? (Im being genuine here)
Good question. I have known many people on the spectrum in my life including several close family members and loving spreadsheets is not something I would attribute to any of them.

Just cause the article discusses one thing, doesn't mean it discusses all things
I'm all seriousness everyone, take many breaks and there's lots of wrist and hand stretches online.
Also, a vertical mouse have helped my carpal tunnel. If you don't know what that is, use the Magic Mouse for a little while and it'll kick in.
Getting a split keyboard is the biggest ergonomic improvement I've made.
I've spent a small fortune on split keyboards now, it never came to mind for some reason. Definitely helped too.
I do far less movement on a computer.
Look at it, think, type something, look at it, think, type something...
Just noticed it a long time ago. I have time to do it right vs making the time to do it twice.
Are we all working the same job? Just spending 8 hours inputing data, filtering and moving columns in excel?
Sounds boring and easy to automate
no no, the learning curve on the business enviroement won't cover the financial benefits ;) lol jk, of course it is but no one is going to say it
Just automate it yourself and "work" from home.
If I knew how, I would have a real job as a programer. at least I would create something
I'm not a programmer by trade but I learned some python and VBA to automate some of the things I do every day. Any time you're doing some manual shit and think "there's gotta be a better way" there probably is - just Google how to do that one thing and you'll build up your knowledge over time.
It's up to you to decide if you tell your boss or not. I chose to and took on some extra duties along with extra pay so it worked out for me but it's a small business with a high value on productivity.
Million tutorials online or if you are lazy you could just post the contract on something like upwork. I answered a post like that and the guy tried to haggle with me. Automating his job and he wants a discount cause he claimed he could get someone in India for cheaper. Told him he should do that. Point is you could do it and as long as you are not him get quality code in short order.

I'm down with the sentiment of the comment, but I legit find I get way more arm/wrist pain from gaming than from spreadsheets. I think there's much more prolonged button-pressing involved in the former. Some games are worse than others.
Right now my elbow is killing me from too much Project Zomboid over the last few weeks. A day of spreadsheets and QuickBooks today was almost a break from it (not that I didn't go right back to PZ after work).
Elbow issues often means you're using arm wrests.
If you are - don't: it's bad ergonomics. Chair without arm rests will help clear that up. Or drop your arm wrests to their lowest.
Thanks for the tip (genuinely). Unfortunately in this case I actually don't have arm wrests at all - I literally removed them from my chair years ago. There's just something about this game in particular that really messes up my left elbow. No other game does that (normally it'd be just my wrists, if anything).
I have arm wrest just low enough to feel them when typing, but good enough to rest my hands when having a controller in my hands.
Bad posture and form will mess you up in either. If it hurts to sit in an ergo chair the way you're meant to with your hands at the right position on the mouse and keyboard: you've already been doing it wrong for a while.
I will also argue that general workout will help a lot with pain. I used ti get sorre after some time and after getting a couple dumbells and working out the parts of my body that would hurt/get sore I rarelly ever have problems nowdays.
I dunno
I'm not trying to hit a flick shot on that vlookup
People that use vlookup over index/match are either geniuses or insane. Or both
Both. Both is good.
What? Why would you choose to use a combination of 2 formulas when there's one designed to combine them?
There's something other than vlookup?
Good God please use xlookup. We have some old school people that still use vlookup and refuse to convert their ranges to tables, it drives me crazy.
I still use index/match for multiple lookup returns (or is it sumifs I can't remember?) But I do a lot of work in BI and it's much more intuitive for me in DAX/M.
There’s XLOOKUP, which isn’t nearly as volatile as INDEX/MATCH. And also more versatile than vlookup.
