I know how to work Excel for 5 minutes – how about you? However, that might not be enough time to colour code everything and sort the data 8 different ways.

When sending a spreadsheet comment only as needed, too much info. can be distracting. #Excel #Excelbestpractice #smallbiz
Every time I create a pivot table, I want to leave work and go celebrate with a beer.
trying to do something with a combination of Firebird and Excel…it’s like the unbreakably stupid meets the indestructibly stupid #headdesk
But my excel spreadsheet told me so!
Just discovered the TRIM function in excel, I know it sounds sad but has probably saved me an hrs work #loveexcelfunctions
I guess my boss volunteered me to teach an excel class tonight. I just found out via company-wide e-mail. Jerk.Totally gonna wing it.
using excel is exactly like doing the dishes, its a functional tool for a functional purpose. you’ll need some numbers to work.
that awkward moment when you see your boss in a shared Excel sheet and you rush to save another copy of it before she pushes a button
I need somebody who knows how to work excel for 5 minutes :/
I wish I could organize my thoughts as well as this spreadsheet that’s color-coded and sorted 8 different ways.
things you don’t want to hear from your engineering phd advisor: "Do you know how to use excel? How do I create a ‘worksheet’?" #saveme
I think I’d rather run from bears than try to find where Microsoft have hidden the graph axis titles in Excel.
Excel has an attitude problem today.
Today is mostly going to involve re-forecasting….otherwise known as "colouring in an excel spreadsheet".
Did you know you columns are limited in excel? I didn’t but IV is the limit. Sad that my spreadsheet hit that & still needs 160 more!
This Excel pivot table’s use of the term "Grand Total" strikes me as a bit over the top.

Tea might be able to solve your Excel problem, unless it’s the Windows Excel Word 2003 Illustrator kind. Those problems might need Bill Gates to solve them.

Who knew making a graph in excel could be as hard as cracking the da Vinci code
I hate when instructors say excel does it all for you…. Yeah after you do 99.999% of the work.
I need an excel spreadsheet on my iPad. Is there an app for that?
Is it my imagination or does the icon for the PowerPivot window in Excel 2010 look like a Tardis? #excel #Dr.Who
All I had to do was copy previous work into Microsoft Excel, and I couldn’t focus. Turning off the tv and getting to work.
I’m on my fourth spreadsheet of the day. At some point, a data comparison merge has to happen. I hope I remember how to do those. #ExcelHell
He replied, and I quote "I use Windows Excel Word2003 Illustrator Version 10." I think I found his problem.
What kinda tea is that? Can it solve my Microsoft Excel problem?
Side tangent on Excel: Maybe it’s just me, but I want to give Bill Gates a high five every time I use a pivot table. #ppcchat
I blame work for making me wake up several times in the middle of the night in the past weeks. I dream of Excel cells, sheets & formulas!!!
My sister, an Excel wiz, made a tax spreadsheet for quarterly taxes and estimates. First reaction… AWESOME. Second reaction… CRAP.
I love having time to create beautiful work. Even if it’s just an Excel spreadsheet.
Pivot table is an anagram of ‘unbelievably dull’ #fact.
ooh. thank you Excel for telling me I have a circular reference somewhere in a 5 worksheet book and not show me where.
omg like does ANYONE know how to make a column graph on excel????? not tryin to b funny but google it, that’s how I did it
having to produce an excel spreadsheet of cars and insurance – as this is the only way my dad understands information.

Does work seem a bit Groundhog Day today? Maybe that’s a result of all the backwards compatibility problems.

I hate Psysc 241. Statistics is such a waste of my time. All we do is put numbers into excel. And make graphs. #pointless
When in doubt, add a pivot table. You will look and feel smarter. #excel #plotthedata
I really need to read a good book. Think I forgot how. Academia might kill my love of the printed word. Or maybe Excel will. #adminoverkill
Work is feeling a bit like groundhogday lately. I blame Excel.
No, I love Excel, but am mired in backwards compatibility problems.
Gorgeous gf just told me to "stop putting jokes in the spreadsheet". Probably sums up our relationship quite well.
I’m so happy to see u tweet about excel and not some exotic fun work !
You know you’re serious when you get the old Microsoft Excel out. Gonna make me some graphs.
I’m always amazed at work that people who "can’t do computers" knock out these complicated excel sheets without a second thought
I hate Excel. I need a spreadsheet tutor. Any volunteers? Nope, didn’t think so.
Eww. Coworker just tickled my elbow b/c I helped him w/ Excel. This isn’t a TV work environment where we act bizarrely close! No touching!
One year worth of text messages in one spreadsheet. obsessive or thorough?
The Excel sheets I spent forever and a day creating crashed. That’s fantastic. I love having to do my homework twice.
Trying to make an Excel spreadsheet for 20mins, boss goes "just ask someone to send you the one that’s already made"
A guy walked past me in Victoria Station and said ‘I love Excel spreadsheets’ Well good for you, hope for your sake that was sarcasm.
You know it’s a slow day at work when you are considering an Excel spreadsheet on possibilities of what we can have for dinner…

Excel can help you look after Grandma, stop your heart, and learn how magnets work. What other program can do all that?

First thing I do when I’m going to work with a data sheet in Excel: adjust font to Arial, font size 9. Can’t. Handle. Calibri.
I built a self-induction calculator in excel. Very rough, but gives me a sense of how magnets work. #Math! http://t.co/nUhq8uae
Boss: Do you know how to make line charts in excel? Me: Nope. They don’t teach Graphic Design majors useful things like that.
Excel just crashed in the middle of doing some spreadsheet editing. Fairly certain my heart just stopped. #PIprep
Said it once and I’ll say it again: I hate Microsoft Excel. You try figuring out the variance and standard deviation on that stupid program.
Making a budget excel spreadsheet to see what i can afford these days. I’ll try to be honest with myself

Wait, making graphs on Excel is a legit math class at Georgia?
A failed copy & paste in Excel that can ruin your morning. #FML
with the excel skills of a 78 year old grandmother of 25, i’m expected to solve this complicated microarray problem.
I must admit I’m still a little freaked out by how fast Excel can apply filters to a 400K row spreadsheet. #msft #dealwiththedevil
Did I make an excel spreadsheet to keep track of scholarships. Yes, yes I did. #nerdswag
Reached a low point in my life today… I’ve been out of education that long I had actucally forgotten how to make a graph on excel!

Would you put your resumé into Excel, or put Excel into your resumé? And what colours would you use – the background could be important!

currently operating under the assumption that the background colors of my excel spreadsheet greatly affects its effectiveness.
nothing beats good old fashioned excel if you know how to code it / work with formulas. gives you complete control of calculations
Between Excel-ing at work and checking out Code Academy, it’s been a programming kind of day #givememore

Yes, that fan sound is frightening, knowing that Excel could crash at any time. Make a pivot table, and you’ll feel beastly again.

I have only written two lines of Excel automation code and already my will to live is struggling under the onslaught. Must be a better way.
Sometimes it’s good to make your boss happy. He wants me in Excel school, so in the words of Curly Howard, Orders is Orders.
I love excel so much. I can’t believe old timers do things on paper!!!!!!! Pretty sure I just saved hours upon hours of work.
Pivot tables ares beastly! Very powerful tool in excel. After I master that, I can almost consider myself as an advanced excel user!
I don’t know if anything makes me feel more stupid than doing formulas in excel. Been screwing around with vlookup for 45 minutes.
If a coworker says "your computer nerdy, right?" it can only mean they want your help printing something or creating an Excel spreadsheet.
An #Excel problem has got me so stressed I can’t sleep! Is it even possible to format a number with 3 conditions?

Instead of finishing Out Of Africa on the train this morning, I finished a pivot table.
That sound. You know, where the fan kicks in as the cpu overheats in anticipation of excel crashing with hours of unsaved work? yep.

Should you learn C? Relearn VB? Or will you just stick with Excel? Whatever you decide, bring on the coffee.

Is it possible to go blind from an inefficient rainbow like excel spreadsheet from a client? I think it’s happening
Do you ever spend hrs on an Excel sheet, not quite sure what you’re going to do when it’s finally set up? Will it work? #fb
So apparently a 9084 character formula is nines times too much for Excel. Beats re-learning VB though. #FML
Call me a geek, but #PowerPivot for #Excel is very cool

I’m going to slap myself on the hand if I click on pivot table again when I really want text to columns. #excelproblems

Upgraded to Excel 2010 and have installed PowerPivot. Hmm, let’s see, where do I begin?…
This evening I have mostly been thinking how to solve a work problem and have one step done. It’s a geek spreadsheet problem, nowt serious
Taking another crack at this Excel spreadsheet. Bring on the coffee..
Cost model is not the same as "Excel workbook that adds random number sets." The latter is significantly more boring to make.
Got my head stuck in some serious Excel VBA code and almost forgot lunch! #in
It’s all very well mucking about in Excel but writing C code gets the job done in half a second.
Le me bored at work. Wild boss appeared. Quickly open Microsoft Excel. Wild boss walks away. Me gusta.
I love #Excel and I don’t care who knows it.

If you’re providing Excel help at the local bar, don’t drink too much! You’ll end up putting in faulty VLOOKUPs, or getting into a crash (and not the Excel kind).

It seems the only way to speed up this system today would be to code excel from scratch #itsatadslooooooow
Has anyone actually built an Excel spreadsheet with 1048576 rows? Just curious, you know. No particular reason or anything.
I feel like an idiot. If anyone knows how to make a line graph on Excel, feel free to give me a ring.
Gotta say, feels pretty awesome to figure out a set of Excel formulas that cut your workflow on a spreadsheet in half! #fb
They’d discover I’d put in faulty VLOOKUPs. Pivot Tables referencing spurious data. And that I’d set Excel’s date calculator to 1904 mode.
Excel and Evernote have similar icons. Whenever I want to save a recipe I open a workbook. #frustrated
That wonderful feeling when you finally get together a complicated graph in Excel! #gettinggoodatexcel
Created a brilliant spreadsheet but the macros only work on excel 2007 & 2010. Crash on 2003. Hate that.

frequent your favorite bar and they will ask you to help solve their excel worksheet problems.
I have a day of conducting 2 funerals then home to convert Excel data to pretty bar charts for a client. Never boring, my days!
Just learned that my last name is a "reserved word in Excel" which makes entering it onto a spreadsheet tricky #pitfallsofawordsurname
Bored at work = type random lists in Excel.
Sat at my desk enjoying a bowl of porridge and my clever Excel spreadsheet, watching the rain #WWT #dreamsofOz
A shared Excel 2003 workbook, with enabled macros, is my Kryptonite… It is killing me slowly….
I hope you’re turned on by my ability to effortlessly format Excel charts.

If you can’t figure out how to make an Excel chart, don’t get out the tack hammer. Just watch a few YouTube videos and eat some Doritos.
