The cautionary Excel tale warns about sorting disasters, but doesn’t mention frozen 3D pie charts or sunken pivot tables. Be careful out there!
- Spreadsheets have a more than passing resemblance to #battleship. ie: "You just sunk my pivot table!"
- I’ve never had any performance issues with my computer. But apparently running a pivot table on 2 million records in Access is a lil much.
- Made the transition from Office 2003 to 2007. I find myself in a conditional formatting jungle. #excel
- Just put together a spreadsheet for organising babysitters. Unnerved and pleased in equal proportions.
- I wanted to show off an HLOOKUP formula I just wrote, but it was 36 characters too long for Twitter. Too bad. #excel #nerd
- Screw you pivot table. You won’t do what I want I’ll just extract the data myself! Ha!!
- ugh, the absolute worst time to have Excel crash is when you hit the "save" button #fml
- a more #helpful message from #excel would be: "It’s too late, go to bed"
- I love Excel. No, really, it’s true. I do. I might marry it one day, just to broadcast to the world my commitment to it. #ultimatesarcasm
- Just learned a new #Excel function: SUBSTITUTE. Helpful little bugger in the right situation, but isn’t everything like that. #nerd
- I’ve just learned about Excel’s 1900 and 1904 date systems. Unbelievable. Microsoft has redefined the word stupid. I’m being diplomatic.
- If I have to look at one more excel spreadsheet with codes on, I will cry!
- wish I’d known about paste special -> transpose a long, long time ago. #excel #grades
- copying old e-mail addresses from paper to excel is.. interesting, important and valued work-task. Sure it is. #rant
- Music has taken over my academic priorities. Working on some Excel charts and getting my mind right.
- A cautionary tale for everyone who uses #Excel in their cubicles: http://j.mp/hH3Vtr #neuroskeptic
- I like to color-code my excel spreadsheets. #thingsdorkssay #iamadork
- I might be making peace with Microsoft #excel. Moving some of my metrics from txt files to excel sheets. Conditional formatting=Awesome.
- I just deliberately made a 3D pie chart and Excel froze up. See? I told you 3D pie charts are terrible!
