Excel Twitters 20100107

Today’s Excel tweets show the amazing diversity of Excel uses. And Excel users. You can use Excel to keep track of your Facebook friends, or to plan a space shuttle flight.

And I still use Excel books, but Google makes it possible to do quite a bit in Excel, without looking at books.

Something Useful

  • i love @google. just created a timesheet template in excel using crazy formulas. google, making things possible without looking at a book
  • I’m starting to wish I learned something useful in all those stats classes.. couldn’t they have at least taught me how to really use excel?
  • Just ran into one of my adult ed. tech class students from 6 or 7 years ago. Told me my Excel module still impacted his life a great deal!

Friend and Unfriend

  • I’m playing Pokemon, making an Excel spreadsheet, and listening to a rap station on Pandora. One of the above does not belong.
  • Only language I speak is excel. This is what I need iPod to do: =if({genre}="country",IF({singer}="lady","SKIP",""),"") #speakexcel? 😉 #fb
