Do you know too much about pivot tables? Should you avoid making Excel charts at work? Don’t ask Frank to answer these questions – he doesn’t know anything about Excel.

Early on at my current posting I did a simple, but very nice excel spreadsheet & chart. Ever since I’ve been default excel expert despite having so little skill on it I have to google how to make simple changes in format. The lesson here is never do an excel chart at work. Ever.

I always felt like this was like a job interview question where they ask your worst work habit and you answer I work too much. Or, I buy donuts too often. Or I’m intimidating because I can work Excel perfectly.

TFW you were goofing off instead of making some Excel sheets, but then you try to do some and Excel crashes so you would have lost all the work you didn’t do anyway!

I’m the Excel wizard at every single job I’ve ever had. When I pass away, I want everyone who I’ve ever helped on VLOOKUP & if/then formulas, pivot tables and slicers to commemorate me and start a spread sheet with every hack I’ve ever shown them and break Microsoft Excel.

Today at work I solved a problem that’s been a reoccurring issue in the company for years and felt incredibly smart.
I also accidentally left something sitting on my keyboard and created an excel spreadsheet consisting of just several thousand 2’s.

I should have never leaked information about being excel certified…now anytime there is a pivot table question I get phone calls.
