LeonianUniverse😁<p>Does anyone know if it is possible to create a corolation chart in <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Excel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Excel</span></a>? I want to be able to agrogate some data that I've calculated in my head and be able to determine the average of different variables which I would use to get a clearer average for how many times an event occurs within a certain period of time. Sorry I have to be so vague,but this data is highly classified... at least to me and the person this data is meant for and I don't want a trace of it getting out.</p>

the table thing ties back into into #vestal, the binary patcher for old soundwares (codeberg.org/unspeaker/vestal - that one isn't passing its ci yet, baaad code, baaaaaad developer!)

that could sure use some interactivity, at least in development. would keep me focused.

it also ties back into #tek, whose entire thing is reimplementing #ableton's "#excel for music" schtick in a terminal, so, again, tables!

or, more properly, collapsible table-trees... not a new idea, more like a lost technology! 😁
