The joys of miskeying

So, I was entering data yesterday and somehow managed to turn ‘100’ into ‘1,000.’ It’s like my fingers were trying to get me to make a comedy out of accounting! Anyone else have a funny miskeying story? It’s astonishing how one tiny typo can create an uproar in the numbers game.

I miskeyed ‘500’ as ‘5,000’ last week, and my manager nearly flipped! Typos sure can spark some accounting drama. Got any more laughs from your data adventures?

I totally relate! Just last week I turned ‘200’ into ‘2,000’ and my spreadsheet went wild. :see_no_evil_monkey: Have you ever lost track of how many typos you’ve made?
