I have an Excel file I had work during this afternoon. I notice that after I entered all the necessary figures, totals do not matches with each other. I tried to check all entries so that I can correct the discrepancy of the data. The entire process gave me headache. What a stressful afternoon I have!

That sound stressful. And also remind me that I have a spreadsheet I need to complete asap. I have plenty of data to key in. Take a break once stress. Keep focusing on it will give you more headache.

Yes, the desire of finishing it sooner triggered the stress more.

Balancing the spreadsheet is a big ask if it develops an error.

@ZedSmart Spreadsheet is a versatile program. If you are well versed with it you can solve it without much difficulty.

@ZedSmart Excel is great, but when something does not sound right it's hard to catch the problem.

You are right Ms. Anna. I stood up and take a little break before I work back the file.

I have been there. Excel sheets make our work easy but one error in formula can really mess up things.

I learned formula more than 10 years ago. I am sure now my head will be explode if I have to work something like that.

When you're catching deadline and then you were delayed because of that, really a problem.

Don't be too hasty in entering formulas into Excel, just one wrong thing can give you a headache.

I'm not sure why it happened but there must be something that was done in the formula.

I can imagine that would be pretty stressful. I couldn't imagine doing that for a living.

It must be corrected to submit and accurate report. No choice here.

Sometimes it can be really hard to find out where you've made a mistake.

Oh, no. That can be really upsetting. Take a breather and do a re-check.
