Excel Twitters 20091127
It’s Black Friday in the USA. In Canada, our closest equivalent shopping experience is Boxing Day, on December 26th. We buy piles of half-priced Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and ornaments, then store them away. By next Christmas, we can’t remember where they are, so we go out and buy new stuff. Very economical.
Anyway, here are some Black Friday Excel tweets. They’re not all shopping related, but there are some black days when you’re working with Excel. And if you buy something from China today, be very careful when you open the invoice.
Leftover Pie
- wow, I had to create an Excel spreadsheet just to figure out who was taking what leftovers home with them Good think I live and breath Excel
- Trying to put together a chart in Excel…why can’t I remember how to do it, and why does it keep coming out as a square pie chart?!?
- I’m making ugly pie charts in excel… I bet you wish you were me
Black Friday
- STUPID. I opened an excel doc from China (invoice for my BJD) and ended up with malware that SPAMMED EVERY FRIEND ON FACEBOOK WITH CRAP.
- there is nothing more frustrating than watching someone incompetent use Excel.
- I get so nervous when Excel asks me if I want to save changes and I KNOW I didn’t touch it.. CHANGE it Microsoft!!! PLEASE!!
- How many times do I have to have this conversation? Me: "you can’t find find your excel spreadsheet?Let me see. Ok,1st step:close out Word."
