Excel Twitters 20081101
November? How did that happen? Again this week there were lots of tweets about the AC/DC video distributed in an Excel workbook, but I’ll spare you from reading them. There was even a timely USA election related tweet, and I hope it’s the last one for another four years or so!
And although I’m a Virgo, that first one isn’t from me. What kind of Virgo posts a typo?
Thrilling
- am making lists. Gleeful, exhaustive, Virgotastc lists. In Excel.
- Back to crunching numbers. I can’t imagine doing this in the days before Excel. Must’ve been hell- candle wax dripping onto ledger books…
- I get a sick thrill from financial modeling on excel spreadsheets. I love the tidy perfection and instant formulaic gratification.
- who would’ve thought you could have this much fun with excel pivot tables.
- 2nd fav feature of Excel 2007 – having ‘wrap text’ on home ribbon. Saves oodles of time when doing my biz plans 🙂
- new personal record for largest Excel workbook – 1,533,492 cells used!!! o.0
Macro Magic
- Why is it every time I record an Excel macro and think that’ll be good ‘nuf…I find myself re-writing the whole thing?
- VBA in excel can be the coolest thing ever when you get it to work. Otherwise it can send a sane man to insanity ĂĽber fast.
- Loves the person that wrote the Excel Plugin for Find and Replace within cell comments.
Make It Do This
- Who knew that working a voter hotline actually meant tackling big ol’ excel spreadsheets? The lengths I’ll go to for Barack…
- I am on excel writing Italian American Places in Chicago!! CIAO A TUTTI!! i wish i COULD add more people on this thing
- When an IT leader suggests using Excel for long term data storage in a company with multi-TB SQL servers, it’s time to panic.
- lots of things that i’m not sure that excel is prepared to do. basically my boss drew something and said: make it do this.
Can I Go Blind?
- thinking that making timelines in excel is nearly impossible. giving up on that and trying to find something new.
- staring at balance sheets that don’t balance and thinking that there has to be a better way of managing projections than Excel spreadsheets.
- Nice. Excel 2007 just corrupted another document I was working directly in. Great. Such an advancement over the last version.
- Can I go blind from looking at Excel for 8 hours a day, every day?
- I hate excel. It shouldn’t take longer to make a graph than to do the experiment the data comes from.
