Excel Twitters 20080823

ByDebra Dalgleish

This week there were several twitters about Excel and music, but no consensus on the type of music that works best. There’s also a growing number of twitters comparing Excel to Apple’s Numbers. There are the usual battles with Excel, and even a few people talking about pivot tables. And apologies to all the cat lovers, but the last comment in today’s list is my favourite.

Excel is Music to My Ears

  • Sitting down in front of Excel for an epic planning session, and “Don’t Stop Believing” from Journey comes up on random play. Good or bad?
  • Listening to the Across the Universe soundtrack and entering this never-ending mailing list into excel. Such a pain.
  • Listening to Josh Ritter’s “The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter” while I enter invoices into my budget tracking excel spreadsheets.
  • absolutely loving Pandora.com today. really helps me on days like this where i am using Excel constantly. 🙂
  • Listening to Metallica, grinning like an idiot, trying to keep my head and feet still – trying to block out mind numbing excel work!

Excel vs Numbers

  • Excel is ugly and smart. Numbers is pretty and stupid.
  • When I open an excel doc in Mac Numbers I feel like I’m personally giving Bill Gates the finger…and I like it.
  • Maybe so, but when I couldn’t add a trendline in Numbers, I switched to Excel. One piece of crap or another.
  • Excel = bane of my existence. I hate virtually everything about it. Unfortunately, there’s no suitably powerful alternative. Numbers = joke.
  • Figured out how to individual schedules for teachers using iWork Numbers. Not flawless enough for picky me, but more handsome than Excel.
  • Just spent an hour debugging a cell forumlae in Numbers. Remembering fondly the VB back-end to Excel.

The Zen of Pivot Tables

  • Ever say to yourself, “nothing in my youth prepared me to create pivot tables in excel” or is it just me?
  • One of my staff is getting very excited about pivot tables in Excel. She is quite odd
  • the zen of msft excel – find peace in your pivot table
  • Pivot tables? No accounting for taste 😛
  • It’s 2.30am, I got a problems with Excel pivot tables, half a pack of crisps, it’s dark, and I’m wearing sunglasses.

Let the Battle Begin

  • There’s a minor Excel/Windows Vista tantrum going on in the living room. I’m readying the tranquilizer darts.
  • pushing enter on an excel doc at work all day maybe merits its own drinking game
  • welcome to the dark side, where we use Microsoft Excel and see little white boxes in our sleep, like a less fun Tetris
  • no matter whose Office suite you use 20 years from now, you’ll be using the same Excel formulas. They’re not going away; learn them
  • Excel Charts makes me want to punch kittens. It is SO Monday.
