Re:Why do we use R rather than Excel? by globular-toast on Sunday July 11, 2021 @12:58PM (#27802519)
I haven't used Excel since I was a child and learnt to program. I didn't realise just how bad it was. Someone asked for a list of ids for some inventory and they imported it into Excel. They were all 4 digit alphanumeric but the ones that looked like numbers, like "0001" it just treated it as a number, showed it as 1 no option to disable this ridiculous behaviour.
