That flash fill knows something. The government is hiding the truth! Quick! To the Conspiracy Cave!

Excel flash fill is amazingly bad. I've never seen produce anything but unintelligible garbage.

You’re dragging it wrong

Flash fill is not the result of user dragging. It's an automatic prediction done by Excel while you type. Therefore, the commonly horrible output is not the result of user error.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)
