Excel Twitters 20081025

ByDebra Dalgleish

The big excitement in Twitter this week is that AC/DC released an ASCII art video that runs within Excel. And what band could be more appropriately named for this type of work? I guess SUM 41 could do an Excel video too. Any others?

Anyway, here are some of the interesting Twitters from this week, giving us a little glimpse at what the world is doing with Excel.

It’s Useful

  • My modest Excel wizardry always gets oohs and ahhs at the office… But for some reason my mad coding skills never get much attention…
  • OMG! my husband is using EXCEL to draw the floor plan of our house for wiring maping…he is such a geek. I love him
  • Making an Excel spread sheet of chores. Nerdery = complete.
  • anyone know where i could download a free copy of microsoft office with excel in it?

It’s Aggravating

  • I hate when excel spreadsheets don’t add up. How is that even possible when the computer does the adding??
  • Excel is 12+ versions old, yet it is still not possible to specify a delimiter when exporting to CSV, or quote all fields, or escape chars.
  • Wishing Microsoft did some research before building Excel so I wouldn’t have to write a VB script everytime I need something done…
  • I have an unending hatred of excel 2007. Perhaps the next time I reformat my computer I shall install excel 97 instead.
  • Hmmmm, took 30 min to make a simple X-Y graph in Excel 2007. Who the hell removed the chart wizard?

It’s Colourful

  • I always give Canada the prettiest graph colour when making a chart in Excel.
  • ugh one of my tweets is live twittering an MS Office Roadshow, it’s so painful to keep reading how awesome colouring is in Excel 2007

It’s Entertaining

  • Deep in spreadsheet. Been yrs since I was an analyst, but some skills never die. Perhaps I go as EXCEL for Halloween.
  • Watching the sox, just ate a lot of chocolate orange birthday cake, working on excel
  • Trying to fix old spreadsheets at the bowling alley. My replacement did some ODD things with excel =(
  • Uh, using Facebook. If I mention Twitter on Facebook now, will Excel pop up with a circular reference error message?
  • i don’t even like AC/DC (the band, that is), but putting your latest video in an excel file is just cool
  • Definitely forget Excel. And PowerPoint for that matter. Let’s go with interpretive dance and smoke signals.
