Financial education is severely lacking in this world.

@10kdiver is working to change that.

I enjoyed this piece on Markov Chains & the role luck plays in our lives.

Teaser: It includes a poll question that 87% of respondents got wrong!

Google Sheets isn't Excel...

But it's more powerful than you think.

8 things Google Sheets can do, you'll wish you knew yesterday. 📊
Translate Text:

Need to convert data from one language to another?

Enter:
=GOOGLETRANSLATE("A2","en","es")

This will translate the words in cell "A2" from English to Spanish.

Replace "en" with "auto" and Sheets will identify the source language automatically.
Timesavers:

Assuming you're signed in to your Google account, head on up to your browser's address bar:

From there type: "sheet.new"

Boom! A new Google sheet is created for you on the fly from anywhere on the web.

(Works for docs too)

Pretty cool!
