Some important lessons in today’s Excel tweets – save your work frequently, don’t delete your tax files before you submit them, and Excel is more important than showering.

That course with chocolate, creative writing and Excel sounds great! Oh, never mind, it’s three separate courses. Maybe I’ll try to find a job that’s serves free alcohol instead, and turn my Excel sheets into Spanish or Chinese.

What makes you crazy in Excel? Formulas that show different results for “identical” data? Bubble charts? Excel 2007? Pie charts? Shades of puce? So many possibilities, so little time.

Apparently one tweeter didn’t like the pivot table presentation at Ignite Minneapolis. I’d never heard of that event before, but if they include pivot tables, it must be good! Now I have to go and try to straighten my fingers.

I have all this fancy software, and I always end up using Excel for everything.
