Hooray! It’s March, and that means we made it through another February. Over the weekend, Excel users were working in bed, watching F1 pre-season stuff, and complaining to Microsoft. Oh, and there might have been a bit of drinking, if you can count Peach Schnapps.

And we did an Excel Word Search on the Contextures blog a while ago, so use that one if you’d rather not create your own from scratch.

I love when financial aid forms provide a mere two lines to list info for parents’ other dependents. Mine: "See Attached Excel Spreadsheet."
Another reason why I hate the Twilight saga is because its sales figures make any other figure insignificant. Ruins excel charts completely.
Sorry kids auditioning tomorrow… please enjoy my crappy sign in sheets made with Excel.
I just learned a new shortcut on Excel… Ctrl D- duplicates the line above it! Awesome!
Dear Mac Excel, we tried hard to make it work, but your dysfunction has driven me back into the arms of Win Excel.. and it just feels right!
Another productive day at robotics today. I learned a lot about how powerful Excel can be while trying to improve our tank drive code!
Professor, the excel assign. is too difficult. Please to be making it where students who are not engineer majors can pass your class. KThx.
Time to put the kettle on. I’ve answered emails, complained to Microsoft about lack of Print Prev icon on Excel 2008 for Mac, so coffee now.
Using m&ms 4th grade excel spreadsheet style in my Saturday class. Yeah, be jealous. http://twitpic.com/15ntia

Oh, good. A coworker once told me he planned to work on an Excel spreadsheet while watching SpongeBob with his kids.
Spent 3 hours tonight creating an epic Excel spreadsheet for 2010 media buy. Forgot how much fun numbers can be! #workshifting
I’m finally giving up on Excel’s #RefEdit controls. ~5-10% of my customers have RefEdit issues. Sometimes solved by updates, not always.
Trying to single out an appropriate forum to ask developers of MS Excel 2007 for help. The audacity! Just who do I think I am?!
So it’s over guys. Which means the maths can begin. Who’s really fastest? Thank God for Excel… #F1
Hate to say it but in 1hr in Excel on laptop in bed, I’ve got more done than in a week at desk at work. #nothowit’smeanttobe

Apparently, there are lots of cells on an Excel worksheet, and it’s tough to make them all the same size. I’ll bet the guy who created the Excel chess game has that little problem figured out!

So I created an Excel worksheet last night for house building options that includes conditional formatting and list validation. Geek much?
I’m doing socio-economic data analysis complete with excel data tables for fun… what is WRONG with me?
I’ve been there, problem is Excel is ‘agile’. It starts as a simple spreadsheet. Then it grows and grows
Hey, Windows Marketplace! If you’re going to give us sales reports in Excel xml format, at least mark date cells as "Date", not "String".
I can copy a 1MB file over the VPN in seconds, but Excel can’t open a 25KB spreadsheet in less than a minute? UGH.
Would love to have a word or two with the genius who decided to discard your undo history after saving a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel.
nothing worse than spending hours on an excel spreadsheet only to still be wrong, then the professor doing it in 15 minutes. Oh, Mondays.
After 60 day free trial Excel – Microsoft requested $500.00 to purchase. Installed OO, spreadsheet and writer are excellent saved $$$
In a single tab of an Excel spreadsheet, there are 2.5 cells for each living person in the world.

Pushing Excel’s limits – a chess games viewer in xl http://bit.ly/cPKUEz superb work by @excelhero
Ohhh, yeah, I get what ya mean. Just spent like forever trying to figure it out. Excel’s weird with pie charts xD
Monster excel keeps me awake for one more night. I reiterate, there’s nothing as wretched in the world as a spreadsheet.
This seems like a stupid question but how in the world can I make all of the cells in an excel sheet the same size?

Should you trust a boss who has a spreadsheet that will help you get a girlfriend? I don’t think so, but you’ll have to decide for yourself.

And I like Excel keyboard shortcuts too, but have never made a game out of it.

Dirty Tricks

Just handed a report to my boss, he tells me "It looks good, just sexy it up a little"… I didn’t know Excel Spreadsheets could be sexy…
trying to impress my boss with Excel tricks. He knows the hard core stuff, but I know the dirty tricks
Just taught boss how to work Excel. Either I’m a genius or I’ve made my life a bajillion times harder. Only time will tell…
Loves that his boss has a dedicated plan to further grow the company and get me a girlfriend; both involve flowcharts and excel documents…

Worst. Console. Ever.

Actually. Excel is soothing to me. It’s like playing a mind teaser game. Challenging but fun.
teacher of excel class says he plays the "how long can i work without grabbing the mouse" game….uhhh i guess my life isn’t THAT boring
sent my wife my 1st-half 2010 video game schedule, in an Excel spreadsheet, sorted by release date. Communication at its finest!
WTF MS? Why can’t I read my MS Excel 2007 documents on my Xbox 360? WORST. CONSOLE. EVER.

Google Excel

I’ve googled my heart out and tried every formula listed, but I can’t get excel to count how many dates in my sheet fit a given range.
I will have to google how to use Excel again, but everything else is gonna be super easy, just a lot of stuff to do. 335 marks. Woohooooo.
People at work are asking me to do things they are perfectly capable of doing themselves. SPREADSHEETS. How hard can they be? GOOGLE EXCEL!

Trust Issues

i don’t really trust anyone who knows how to use an excel spreadsheet

If you’d like to play games in Excel you can try these Excel bingo cards or an Excel Concentration game.
