Excel Twitters 20080810

If people would stop Twittering about Excel, and just do their work, maybe they could go home earlier. Unless they’re using Twitter to ask for help, which a surprising number of people do. It’s hard to help them in 140 characters though, unless you just post a link to the Microsoft newsgroups.

Anyway, here’s another list of the things that people are doing, or trying to do, in Excel:

  • established file sharing thru Office Live! Now we can share our Excel wedding spreadsheets more easily.
  • Writing a script to merge data from different bank accounts into one Excel sheet
  • Yep, some companies run their entire business on Excel. It’s a lot cheaper than SAP . . . .
  • yeah Excel can do a bunch…I got an email with the game Sonic (from Sega) made in excel
  • trying to figure out how to tape all of this olympic coverage. why can’t NBC have an excel export of the schedule for the week or two?
    Ed. note: I found this Olympic US TV schedule in Excel
  • Moving our household budget out of the dark ages (Yellow Legal Pad) to Excel…
  • anyone using a decent password manager other than a pgp encrypted excel spreadsheet?
  • doing magical, magical things with mysql and excel pivot tables.
  • work this week consists of entering in patients in an excel document & reading new moon.
  • Working on a worship statistics spreadsheet…and I suck at Excel.
  • a project is getting out of hand when you start making excel sheets to remember the names of people involved….
  • working up a fitness and diet routine in excel, like the nerd i am
  • just finished half my pile of entering 230 new email subscribers into excel
  • working on some fancy Excel spreadsheets to help them predict the wind speed at the spaceport site.
  • creating excel spreadsheet w/all of my health record data. and having fun doing it, damn it!
  • You could export the playlist into a spreadsheet and print it from there. I’ve used Excel to do it before.
  • realizing that when a non-engineer says “Matrix” they mean “Excel spreadsheet” or “Table in a Word document”.

And my favourite Excel Twitter of the week:

  • if you hate excel, you should just get a chisel and a huge boulder… you can keep track of your stuff that way.
