			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>And we did an <a title="Excel Word Search" href="http://blog.contextures.com/archives/2009/07/20/my-head-hurts-so-please-work-quietly/" target="_blank">Excel Word Search</a> on the Contextures blog a while ago, so use that one if you’d rather not create your own from scratch.</p>
<ul>
<li>I love when financial aid forms provide a mere two lines to list info for parents&#8217; other dependents. Mine: &quot;See Attached Excel Spreadsheet.&quot; </li>
<li>Another reason why I hate the Twilight saga is because its sales figures make any other figure insignificant. Ruins excel charts completely. </li>
<li>Sorry kids auditioning tomorrow&#8230; please enjoy my crappy sign in sheets made with Excel. </li>
<li>I just learned a new shortcut on Excel&#8230; Ctrl D- duplicates the line above it! Awesome! </li>
<li>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! </li>
<li>Another productive day at robotics today. I learned a lot about how powerful Excel can be while trying to improve our tank drive code! </li>
<li>Professor, the excel assign. is too difficult. Please to be making it where students who are not engineer majors can pass your class. KThx. </li>
<li>Time to put the kettle on. I&#8217;ve answered emails, complained to Microsoft about lack of Print Prev icon on Excel 2008 for Mac, so coffee now. </li>
<li>Using m&amp;ms 4th grade excel spreadsheet style in my Saturday class. Yeah, be jealous. <a href="http://twitpic.com/15ntia">http://twitpic.com/15ntia</a> </li>
<li>working on building excel charts for my son &amp; nieces science fair project &quot;Crowded Crops&quot; </li>
<li>Peach schnapps and excel spreadsheet work in the bar </li>
<li>i even used some excel to create a word search for my work placement! feeling very proud of myself! </li>
<li>Jay just tried to get me to do some excel spreadsheet for his fantasy baseball&#8230;bahahahahahaha! Silly man. Not happening. </li>
<li>I have time to tell you that I am working with excel while my computer processes the &quot;16&quot; I just entered into a cell. </li>
<li>Oh, good. A coworker once told me he planned to work on an Excel spreadsheet while watching SpongeBob with his kids. </li>
<li>Spent 3 hours tonight creating an epic Excel spreadsheet for 2010 media buy. Forgot how much fun numbers can be! #workshifting </li>
<li>I&#8217;m finally giving up on Excel&#8217;s #RefEdit controls. ~5-10% of my customers have RefEdit issues. Sometimes solved by updates, not always. </li>
<li>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?! </li>
<li>So it&#8217;s over guys. Which means the maths can begin. Who&#8217;s really fastest? Thank God for Excel&#8230; #F1 </li>
<li>Hate to say it but in 1hr in Excel on laptop in bed, I&#8217;ve got more done than in a week at desk at work. #nothowit&#8217;smeanttobe </li>
<li>Other people&#8217;s games have a boss screen that looks like an Excel spreadsheet. My game IS an Excel spreadsheet. </li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah, the weekend. Relax and enjoy some time with your family, and Excel. You might have time to play some games, but if you have homework, don’t leave it till Sunday night – do it now! (I’m sure that I did all my homework on Saturday, way back when I was in school.)</p>
<h3>Kid Unfriendly </h3>
<ul>
<li>My child is playing around with an Excel spreadsheet. I&#8217;ve corrupted her already.</li>
<li>The wife and I put an Excel spreadsheet together yesterday to manage my various plugin projects. Man, I should have done this earlier.</li>
<li>My mom now knows how to make her own excel spreadsheet. That was a challenge but to see her change columns is rewarding.</li>
<li>Just created an excel spreadsheet for our DVDs categorized by &quot;Kid Unfriendly&quot; &quot;Kids&quot; &quot;TV Series&quot; and &quot;Holiday.&quot; Does that make me anal?</li>
<li>Husband put our entire life into excel. Hate the constraints of all those little lines and boxes! Sometimes a girl needs circles! </li>
</ul>
<h3>Playing Games </h3>
<ul>
<li>really hate staying up all night working on excel project unable to play my games on facebook except for a few</li>
<li>What can I do for the next 2 hours that looks like work but isn&#8217;t? Sudoku kind of looks like Excel&#8230; hmm&#8230; worth a shot.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s crazy how seriously I&#8217;m taking iFarm. Excel and ROI calculations are involved. I will have a windmill before EOW. </li>
</ul>
<h3>Finish Your Homework </h3>
<ul>
<li>has not yet started his stupid AEM 145 Excel Assignment yet because&#8230; 1. i don&#8217;t get it and 2. i don&#8217;t really wanna get it.</li>
<li>I know I have to use it but I don&#8217;t like using Excel for accounting homework. I can make it look better when I do it by hand.</li>
<li>excel ate my homework</li>
<li>Poor person who borrowed my computer, the scratch paper on my desk shows me you did all of the math by hand for your Excel assignment!</li>
</ul>
<p>_________</p>
<p>P.S. For your Excel entertainment needs, Andy Pope has an <a title="Excel Sudoku" href="http://www.andypope.info/fun/sudoku.htm">Excel Sudoku</a> file that you can download, and there’s a <a title="DVD Collection Database template" href="http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html#FL0023">DVD Collection Database template</a> on my website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For your amusement, here’s a word search puzzle that’s filled with the names of Excel worksheet functions. You can work on it at the office, and if anyone asks, just tell them you’re working on some complex Excel functions.</p>
<p>To create it, I uploaded a list of Excel 2007 worksheet functions to the <a href="http://www.armoredpenguin.com/wordsearch/">Armored Penguin site</a>, and the puzzle was generated in a few seconds. Then, I copied the result into Excel.</p>
<p>You can <a href="http://www.contextures.com/ExcelFunctionSearch.zip">download the Excel file</a> with the word search, and answer key sheet. </p>
