]]> I love pivot tables too, but would draw the line at cuddling with one. Each to his (or her) own taste!

Learning Excel Thingies

  • When you’re in a class that’s teaching you how to use a computer it would help if the teacher knew how to work Excel… Or a mouse.
  • Whoever is teaching this morning’s Excel class must be really good – I keep hearing laughter from the cyber-center.
  • at school making stupid excel thingies..
  • learning to work in excel. My god i hope i’m never gonna use this program ever in my life! why all the details!?? ;)

Excel Trance

  • i can’t use rap when i go into my excel trance – i’m usually playing Rush, Grateful Dead, or Pink Floyd. But i love rap
  • Interesting post on using excel to evaluate your itunes playlist #edchat http://bit.ly/5LLKhg
  • I can definately vouch for the use of Techno as an Excel Productivity Stimulant..
  • Sometimes I amaze myself with the strange ways I use Notepad and Excel to accomplish tasks for Glee Club records.

Complicated Things

  • Pivot tables are coming to Lotus Symphony 3 in a Beta next month – spreadsheet wizards around the globe are salivating! #ls10 #excel
  • Dear Pivot Table, Stop being such a frackin’ brat and start refreshing on the computer. I need to gather your data. You have until 2pm.
  • Must. Not. Turn this into a pivot table. I get told off for doing ‘complicated things.’
  • This would the perfect love cuddle day. All I’ll b cuddling w/ 2day is a pivot table then an elliptical. HA! Responsibility has its price.

Computer Pranks

  • Re: Computer Pranks. In Excel, change the currency symbol to the number 1, and set that as the default format.

]]> When you link to data in a pivot table, you may see a GETPIVOTDATA formula, instead of a simple cell reference.

To turn this feature off, follow the instructions in this short video.

For written instructions, please see Turn Off GetPivotData Formulas for Excel Pivot Tables.
