You’ll never guess how long it took this guy to scroll to the end of an Excel spreadsheet

Hunter Hobbs recorded a video of himself manually scrolling through the well-known Microsoft Office program

EVER found yourself with enough time to scroll down an Excel spreadsheet to find out long it really is?

Thought not. But luckily for you an extremely patient YouTuber took upon himself to seek the truth. And after NINE-AND-A-HALF HOURS of scrolling he discovered the answer is 1,048,576 rows.

recorded a video of himself manually scrolling through the well-known Microsoft Office program until he reached the end of his long-winded journey.

He is an image of perseverance in the video, taking no breaks in his scrolling and never skipping screens of rows by pressing the control key.

Determined to do things properly, he can be seen sat at his desk, holding the down the arrow on his keyboard for hours on end (although the footage has been sped up to make it watchable).

To try to distract himself from his tedious task, Hunter undertook easy activities such as paddle ball,

phone calls and drank ample amounts of energy drinks.

 And here he is getting to the very last row
