hey everyone um i just want to show you a quick trick in excel i use this a lot and it is kind of the key to creating more dynamic flexible complex layouts in excel and its a really simple concept it is just simply dropping a text value or a number value into a shape that can then be dynamically updated and placed wherever you want on a page so traditionally in excel we use the cell grid in the background right so if you drop in something its in a cell and then you can add something from the cell next to it so on and so forth thats great its really nice when youre doing data processing its very well organized it allows for complex cell references all that kind of stuff but its not great when youre doing a a visual layout when youre trying to make something that looks cool you know its it is its not akin to web development its akin to kind of uh i dont know getting stuck in uh painting with paint by numbers or something like that it just doesnt give us enough flexibility s
