We really need an ibanking ninja. Those guys' hands never lead the
keyboard. I wish I knew more about scripting in VB. But, that's not
goog sheets.

Also self-taught–this will be a “blind-leading-the-blind” event. I'll see
if I can get Azeem in on this too.

I'd be happy to participate, but couldn't lead. I'm self-taught and
thus still a bit rookie.

Also I rarely use goog sheets. Typically use excel.

Happy to join though.

Any interest in leading a Google Spreadsheets keyboard navigation + other
power tips session? I will offer my place as a venue and supply beverages?

Nothing says a good time like spreadsheets projected on the wall
Seriously, would love to do this, though. I could do tips focused on using
the import data functions that allow you to pull live data into your sheets,
to round things out.

Sweet, works in google spreadsheets as well as excel?

A nice addition to this note is the F4 key. If you're on a cell refernece in an equation, hitting the F4 key will iterate through all 4 of these choices, so you don't have to keep typing dollar signs.
