Apparently Bill Gates hasn’t solved the world’s problems yet, and his pie charts and memos aren’t helping. And while we’re dropping names, Tufte was mentioned in the Excel-related tweets too.
And I don’t believe that you’ll fail to lose weight if you use Excel – that’s why I created the Excel Weight Loss Tracker !
A Numbers Game
- The Excel spreadsheet I opened in Apple’s Numbers is kicking its ass. Slow updates, beach ball, Force Quit. Microsoft wins this battle.
- Have you tried the apple version of Excel, Numbers! It makes pie charts delicious. And they have recipe templates!
- I just tried to open an Excel spreadsheet with over 400,000 rows in it. I think the core is going to melt right out of my Macbook.
- Well there is Excel for Mac as well, but Numbers is for when you care about beauty in your spreadsheet. 😛
Word of the Day
- I’ve been looking for Excel "Data validation" button in Word for around 1 minutes. Am I stupid or what??
- I hate excel with a burning passion. why can’t I just use word? I’m SO not tech savvy…
- PowerPoint and Excel were on Tufte’s hit list today. But surprisingly Word was suggested for creating a presentation.
Weighty Subject
- If you’re using an excel spreadsheet to lose weight, I’m pretty certain you’ll fail
- I just made an Excel spreadsheet documenting my weight loss. With a chart. #geek
- Def just made an Excel spreadsheet to track my goal to lose 25 lbs…that’s how you know you’re a nerd.
Dear Bill
- yeah! maybe we should notify @BillGates about our excel hate.
- 15 years after Bill Gates’ Internet Tidal Wave Memo, I can’t export a usable html table from Excel. Yeesh
- I know that vaccines are working because I have a pie chart…, @BillGates on @ToTN. So Powerpoint & Excel are saving lives?
