Excel Twitters 20090228
The mayor of Toronto is now tweeting, but nothing about Excel that I’ve seen. Maybe he wasn’t affected by the zero day exploit, and not involved in the Microsoft redundancy payout fiasco.
Some people are excited about learning new features in Excel, and a few are looking at replacement software. Others are taking advantage of Excel crashes, and using the recovery time to catch up on Twitter.
I’ll be travelling all week, with no computer access, so the next post will be on March 9th. See you then!
Looks Like Excel
- just discovering gnumeric… a replacement for excel that students will tolerate? The solver looks good, it has an integer search model
- Friend xlated the Polish blist review “Blist looks like Excel could have looked like if it were written for normal people not accountants”
- An alternative to linked Excel spreadsheets http://www.excelcube.com/ Anybody tried this?
A Very Unhappy Place
- working in excel, which is a very unhappy place. Can’t someone invent spreadsheets for rightbrainers??
- beware the Excel sort function – inappropriate use can lead to to complete disarray!
- =IF(MYLIFE=EXCEL,”Breakdown”,”Happy Days”)
- Am about to do battle with Excel. Cue the theme from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!
Just the Facts
- im wondering if theres a link between Microsoft s redundancy payout gaffee, our financial crisis and Excel ?
- “another zero-day Excel exploit” yuh, what’s that, like # 2,570,001? #boring #broken_by_design
- Mr. President, please, no more sermons and pep talks; just send me copies of all the Excel Spreadsheets. Just the facts sir, just the facts
Friends and Family
- My 8 year old just complained to me that his Excel isn’t working….what does an 8 year old need Excel for?
- I love Excel 2007 an inappropriate amount. Perhaps that is why I don’t have a boyfriend?
- Working in Excel VBA with a Pivot table. If you don’t hear from me in a few hours, please tell my family I love them.
Constant Learning
- woman across from me is reading the Excel 2000 bible. Crikes.
- just learned about “transpose” in Excel’s ‘Copy Special’ – this is awesome.
Excel and Twitter
- obviously not got the hang of this. Excel = easy, twitter not so much.
- Why does Excel hate me? It keeps crashing and taking forever to recover. Granted it gives me time to catch up on twitter.
Heavenly Bodies and Body Counts
- Excel comes in handy for math classes, science classes, and…..ART classes!
- fact-checking an excel sheet detailing the body count in each of our songs. listening to ‘kill uncle.’
- Printing my ticket receipt & stapling it to an Excel form I printed b/c the paperless office is a distant daydream for corporate america.
- the neatest thing I’ve seen in Excel is a simulation of the Solar System before Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson took Pluto off !
