What do you need to get through an Excel session? Tequila? Chinese food? Onion soup?

Finishing up that #Excel thingy this morning. Then I’m having tequila for lunch. #thatsall
Taught myself the basics of #excel pivottables today, avoiding mostly-pointless classes. #smallvictories
Oh my gosh… My boss accidentally deleted my entire Saturday’s worth of work on Excel and hit "yes" on "save now?"
I just made an Excel spreadsheet for my office. With formulas. That work. After getting a cool 74% on my Excel exam. #winning
I wish we had better lighting in the living room. My eyes hurt from excel charts and inputing addresses.
I did a really stupid thing at work.. deleted very important data from Excel sheet then save & close it!!! hope the IT can retreive it :S
Just saw someone I knew in high school crowdsourcing on FB for someone to add Excel SUM formulas to their work timesheets for them.
I really love excel spreadsheets and pie charts. I really do.
Today I was complemented on my Excel spreadsheet. May have to drink myself into oblivion to get over the horror. #fb
Off to get wine + Chinese food. If I’m gonna work in Excel tonight, I’m gonna do it with a smile on my face. #peaceout
@Microsoft: I want to use #CSharp in #Excel instead of #VBA!!!
I am a super nerd. I have been up since 7 creating new excel formulas, charts and pivot tables. #howmanywayscanwebreakdownthedata
For the love of baby chesus, MS Excel is so complicated! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS WORLD???
I should probably move a stapler to the other side of my desk or maybe open an Excel Spreadsheet to look productive.
My boss who makes twice what I do just asked me how to delete a column in excel. #howsyourdaygoing
In bed, drinking beer, and crunching excel pivot charts. Am I a digital age hillbilly?!
worked too long on a stupid excel report script, cafeteria is out of onion soup. #FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU #fml

Awesome — a boss with a sense of humour. That almost makes up for a lack of Excel skills. Of course, we can debate that, during yoga class.

not yet, ah i don’t even know how to use excel but i’ll attempt it tonight, is it hard?
Only in my world does a quick Skype message to a friend before the end of work lead straight into nested IF functions in Excel *sigh*
Why does excel take so long to calculate pivot tables??? #geektweet
I make beautiful excel pie charts #justsaying. I’m copy righting the name Piecharto ©. In other news I’m hungry for some reason.
This debate is just one long list of percentages. Like televising an Excel spreadsheet. #bland #yawn #senedd2011
I just devoted 10m to embedding the War3 Orc "Work Done" wav into an excel macro. Yes, it was that important.
I could’ve used Excel to do this entire 1.5 hour lecture’s work in 5 minutes.
Boss: How do you do this thing on EXCEL? Me: Did you Google it? Boss: Did you Google how to file for unemployment? #SSG #WorkTweet
Currently having one of those very rare moments I wish I knew how to use Excel to make charts and stuff. It would be helpful.
I [heart] #excel macros. That is all.
Welcome back to #excel hell. List lists everywhere and not a drop to drink.
My boss can’t use Excel, nor locate a lost Outlook temp file, but yet is Director of I.T, how do I resolve this?
Busy day at work = lack of tweets. #excel
i know how to do the excel but 1 mistake ruined the whole workbook. =( unfortunately it ruined my grade too =’(
Hmm, seems that I’ve arrived at work sans motivation. Maybe I’ll get some shortly once I’ve fiddled with excel.
#Excel the only Microsoft program worth a darn. #truth
Reports, excel charts, phones, email; all in my cubical. Do you ever feel more like a factory click-worker than a "knowledge worker"?
Quote of the day "The problem with excel is you know you’re doing something incredibly boring if you even have to open it."
Seems that I have my work brain on. Every time the yoga instructor said "exhale" I heard "Excel" #retired

That Barbie workbook was pink, I’m sure, and would probably make you feel queasy. At least the boss wasn’t working on that – her Excel file was blue!

I just spent the past 30min w/my boss picking out a shade of blue to color her Excel spreadsheet. #thatkindofday
They see their lives through screenshot eyes/ take courage with the pivot table’s final say / make choices when they sign on the dotted line
Loving the fact my husband knows how to create graphs and charts using Excel and doing my extra credit assignment for me
Messy excel files give me the creeps. Having to work with one makes me want to recoil. *shudder*
oh lord…she want me to do excel……….
Nothing can kill motivation faster than losing 2.5 hrs of work in excel because of a blue screen. Gonna keep fighting tho #DangerVsMonday
Saddest thing of all: still not clear on the answer. Time to procrastinate with a pivot table or something.
The thought of a spreadsheet makes me feel slightly queasy
Nerd alert: organized all my monthly expenditures into a nice Excel document, complete with pie charts!
still can’t believed i made a Microsoft Excel workbook for my barbies. INCREDIBLE ?(•??~•~)?
if I had an "i <3 geeks" shirt I woold dedicate it to you and your awesome excel spreadsheet I am making one after work I think
Last work day of the week, and my computer was pulled out for repairs. Trying to mentally edit an Excel. #fb
What the heck is this "pivot table" nonsense, anyway? If I wanted to pivot I would have bought a Sit & Spin.
Just showed a customer how to do a pivot table and saved him a couple of hours work per month. I was popular!
ooh, it could be so worse, you could be sitting in front of a pile of receipts and one unhappy looking spreadsheet…
Excel spreadsheet, you can not be this persnickety today please. Thanks.
mustering up the motivation to work on a finance project, but mostly staring at a blank excel spreadsheet morosely
Last night i dreamt of pivot tables again. yes, pivot tables & yes AGAIN! i need to use excel less.
if i have to work on another excel report i might just explode into binary

What’s wrong with running PowerPivot on XP? I don’t have to justify myself! But it’s strange that the tweeter assumes I’m a man – maybe I need more rainbows, and less dynamite, on my website.

Cursing John Walkenbach – didn’t they make a movie about that, starring John Cusack and Cameron Diaz? And speaking of movies, don’t let that Invesco video give you pie chart nightmares!

Prior to this Excel class if my boss had asked me to Concatenate his Function I might have sued for harassment…

Yes, it does sound tempting to run off and drink champagne, but no one said it would be easy. Stay at your desk, and savour the small Excel victories.

Ever noticed that the only time you work on learning Excel is when you actually need to do something with it and it is due today? Yep.
You know you have a problem when Excel shows up in your dreams. Waking up bored is not a great way to start the day!
I hated working in an office, but I sure do love being able to find my way around an excel spreadsheet!

Today I tell the young ones a little about code and language and some more excel. Sorting and graphs. Think they will like the graphing.

You’ve heard of Excel pie charts, but what about custard charts? They sound equally delicious! And disarming.

I’m the Director of IT at my office. Excel just shutdown and I lost a days worth of work. Just so you know it happens to us too.
i love how the "show quick preview" printing option in excel bogs my machine down and takes a good 2-3 minutes.
My Excel Geekometer went off the charts today when I unlocked the world of programmatically controlling Essbase with VBA. #sendhelp
With statistics functions, I am entering strange waters. NORMDIST is a reassuring function though. Acts as my anchor. #excel
So…a person was hired to use Excel AND HAS NEVER USED EXCEL. And this is now my problem?
Just solved a complicated excel formula problem. Moral of story: F comes after E not before.
it appears you can disarm bombs by using ms excel! http://t.co/ASiNQHM
I put all of the excel sheets I needed in one workbook so I didn’t have to set print settings for each sheet. Guess what? You still have to.
I almost cried earlier cus I didnt knw how to work microsoft excel for my project. But thank God for youtube videos lol
Sorry Mr Salesman, that spreadsheet is misnamed it should be "pipedream" not "pipeline"!
So much for me getting off work on time – stuck with a stupid excel issue for a user – uuuggghhh
The excel problem now seems to be, it can’t tell if things like 02/12/10 are MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY.
There are no stupid questions when it comes to MS Excel, just stupid people. #googleitdamnit
No work for me today! Instead I’m going to become a Excel Super User…hope they have STRONG coffee!
If I hide from this spreadsheet, will it solve its own problems?
Yay for being able to paste conditional formatting across all tabs! Wasn’t sure if that would work. #Excel #IAmANerd
Have started answering the phone at work as ‘excel help desk’ #fml
New Goal: Learn #Excel Programming in next 15 days. How uncool can I be

A pig, some bricks, and a whiz. No, it’s not a fairytale, it’s just another day in Excel. Grab some coffee and buttered paper, and get started.

if i were you i’d just delete the excel worksheet, uninstall excel and tell your (big?) boss to shove it…. but i’m not you =)
I wish Excel would default to a 0 gap width for bar charts.
oooh i remember setting up my first drop down list, pivot table and the ultimate "vlookups".
Yes!! I feel restless! Maybe I’m getting Spreadsheet Withdrawl Syndrome! Lol
Funny observation: when entering a function in a spreadsheet you have to start with =( maybe that’s why math makes me sad
Is it sad that I’d rather get a lower grade in class than pay $197 for a CD with some stupid excel files? #tightwad
Oh Excel conditional formatting, how I love thee. Colour coded my spreadsheet in a way that would have taken hours. #TimeForASmugBrew
Now on BBC4; the true story of Florence Nightingale and her use of Microsoft Excel charts and pivot tables. Way ahead of her time.
When I was 8 a spreadsheet was something you did before you made a fort out of old bricks in the garden.
Somebody played 52 card pick-up with my spreadsheet.
Boss looking for an "Excel Whiz" to make a table for him. He’ll be so excited when he finds out I can also use the ‘Sum’ function.
Public service announcement. If you can use Excel functions but don’t use pivot tables, learn pivot tables. Really, they’re the best.
Pens and paper make a refreshing change from powerpoint and excel. Real office beats MS Office everytime…
i love excel. i don’t do a lot of formula stuff but can do data coloration etc.
You’ll all be pleased to hear that it’s a day of spreadsheet analysis for me. like a pig in mud lol
i still don’t think i know what a spreadsheet is. the word makes me think of buttered paper
Ladies and gentlemen of Twitter: an announcement. I HAVE MADE A PIVOT TABLE WORK ALL BY MYSELF. #success
Best way to start the morning you ask??? #Coffee and #spreadsheets. Don’t know why I’m so addicted to Microsoft #excel
it’s called a pivot table sweetie. Need some excel tutoring and a tissue?

Don’t blame Excel when your wedding goes over budget – it can’t order a fighter jet on its own! However, pastel pie charts wouldn’t cost much, and make lovely decorations.

I wonder what the world would be like without Excel.
Ok, I think my spreadsheet is now current. Dear COO, please to be not adding anything new to it, else my head might explode. /frazzled
New addition to the ultimate wedding spreadsheet "fighter jet flyover"#goingtogetintrouble
btw i can teach you pivot tables, but only on older versions of excel — the 2007 version blows.
Is it me, or is Excel 2007 just plain sluggish?
Making pie… charts that is. The default colors for charts in Excel are terrible. Nothing like pastels to grab someones eye < sarcasm
I have mad love for MS Excel, those functions, curly formulas, macros *sigh* I’m in love #spreadsheetSwagger
Just bought a book on VBA code in Excel from Amazon. #nerdwinning
excel pivot tables do stink!! Why can’t they simplify that process? Not rocket science! Or- wait-maybe it is after all!
Do new versions of Excel have the international date format built in? Because not having that is just stupid.
I love mathematical modelling on excel….its a great destresser
I love inserting comments in excel sheets. The small text boxes with arrows pointing to the cells excite me. Lol!
Not that said coworker intentionally confused his code… that’s just the nature of the beast when working in Excel. Ugh.
I hate Excel.I do,however,love my secretary (an appropriate amount).altho its her fault I am lazy&have an IT skills gap!
I wrote between 12K and 20K lines of code today. Well not me excel did most of the work. I am the worlds most inefficient code monkey.
Just wrote an #excel formula that line-wraps 3 times. If I hadn’t written it myself, it would look like an alien language.
Ughh comp died and excel lost half my data of the populations of the 200 countries in the world #fml
Just found some SUMPRODUCTs in an old spreadsheet I made. SUMPRODUCT…? SUMPRODUCT..? Ah! I remember those… *wistful sigh*
Always play to your strengths. I spent 5 minutes making charts on an excel spreadsheet and my group totally thinks I’m pulling my weight.

Back to work after a lovely spring weekend, and some people are cringing when they open Excel. What about you? Hung over? Or Awesome?

Burying myself in a spreadsheet, hiding from the METs playing consistently – consistently bad pitching, consistently bad clutch hitting…
sleeeeeeeepppp – this spreadsheet was a far more complex mire of cells than I was expecting
Created a spreadsheet and graph on my mac to chart the progress of my book – procrastination to the extreme!
Pretty sure I need Excel training – I can barely sort by column, and WTF is a pivot table? Yes I know I’m in IT….
Working out what books to buy with the help of a spreadsheet. I’m just that cool.
*cringe* opening up excel. on purpose. not for client work.
You know what’s awesome? Working on an excel worksheet all morning, and then accidentally exiting without saving it. That’s genius. :/
I’m probably doing the nerdiest, lamest thing anyone could be doing right now: An excel spreadsheet for my Magic cards as a database. 8D
Well work has brainwashed me to the point of I cannot decipher information that is not in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.
I just created a colour-coded ‘new house’ spreadsheet, with formulae and everything. Man, being responsible is so time consuming…
Problem solving, yes. Playing with MS Word or macros in Excel, no.
woke up early to try and finish some school work…it took me 2 hours to make a graph on excel… #hungover
High-fives and shouts of joy as we set up Excel sales reports with conditional formulas…and they work. #nerdalert
All done voting. Heading back to work now ? Excel is my lover for the day, we shall make sweet spreadsheets together #sexy #donthate
My work from home plan mildly failed because I forgot I have Excel 2007 and I barely know how to use it. #FAIL
Curse these arrays. They reject variable cell addresses. If I were Ricardo Montalban I would say they task me. #excel #arrays #Khan!
Great day today, dog sit, work on excel, yanks vs sox, masters, spurs, then watching james kirkland box tonight! Holler!
trying to do some simple analyses on some data for my latest assignment – When exactly does Microsoft Excel ever actually #excel?
