The Daily Excel sheet

One sheet a day, the same for everyone. It is drawn from one of the lessons, in one of six settings.

How it works

A new Daily starts at midnight UTC, the same moment everywhere, so where you live it may open in the morning or the evening. When you finish today's, the card says when the next one opens on your own clock. The first result of a day is the one that counts; you can open it again, but the medals stay as they were.

If you have cleared the lesson a Daily comes from, you solve it from memory. Each step earns a medal: bronze for a right answer, silver for one without a hint, gold when it is also right first time. Show me is there if you are stuck; it costs that step its gold and silver, nothing more.

If that lesson is new to you, each formula is shown on the card, so you can still finish the sheet. A step typed from a shown formula earns silver at most, and the card points you to the lesson.

At the end you get a result to share: a row of squares, one per step, the result in words and a link to that day's sheet. No answers, so it spoils nothing for anyone who hasn't played yet.

Earlier days

Every Daily has its own address, /daily/ followed by its number, so a shared link opens that same sheet for anyone. You can play an earlier day any time; it doesn't count for the streak. A day that hasn't come yet opens today's.

Your streak

Play each day's Daily on its own day and the streak grows. Missing one day doesn't break it; missing two does. From two days on it shows in the top bar, except in Rush and on a class link. The streak lives in this browser, with the rest of your progress.

Not sure where to start?

The Daily is easier after the lessons it draws from. The first lesson, Totals: SUM formula, takes a few minutes.
