Excel Twitters 20090207

ByDebra Dalgleish

This week, people ploughed through their Excel worksheets, ignoring the snow, annoying co-workers, and other distractions. Cells were merged, money disappeared, and flashes of brilliance were displayed. Mr. Spreadsheet offered some advice to Excel Twitterers, to help them have their tweets mentioned here.

And I don’t think it sucks to have leet skills. How about you?

Pretty Graphs

  • Do people get certified to be an excel expert? Is putting on a resume, “I make pretty graphs on excel” ok? 🙂
  • Excel: Wasn’t that fun? Let’s make PDFs from charts again someday! Me: Go die a horrible, painful death.
  • Why am I being asked to hand-draw pie charts in a course that has an excel textbook as required reading?

Excel Distractions

  • someday i’m going to write my memoirs. in excel spreadsheet form.
  • another day buried in excel spreadsheets analysing research interviews. Not even any snow to distract…ho hum
  • My Sunday can be summed up in two words – Snow and excel! Ok that was 3 but you can tell what an exciting day I have had!!

Annoying Excel Errors

  • Why must Excel tell me every single time that unmerging cells will keep upper left data only? Where’s my “don’t show this msg again” button?
  • One of the most annoying Excel errors – “Cannot change part of a merged cell”. I LIKE merging cells. And I like moving them around.
  • $527 billion limit for pentagon was my fault. i ran out of rows in excel.
  • Calculating again and again but some things just won’t fit. And I’m afraid that isn’t exactly excel’s fault. Sigh.
  • Excel. It will be the death of me. Where did that €50,000 go????
  • Moving cells around arbitrarily in Excel is extraordinarily easy considering they represent massive amounts of money, resources and effort.

Twittering That I’m Twittering

  • I have so many more friends on Twitter than in Excel. Why did I spend my day in Excel?
  • the only time i get a chance to twitter is when excel locks up on me. lucky for my twitter career, it’s a fairly regular occurrence.
  • Folks, if you mention Excel in a tweet, there’s a good chance that Debra Dalgleish will quote it in her blog. Tip: Make it funny/outrageous.
  • twittering that i’m twittering while excel crunches a bazillion numbers for me. so much truth in this comic. http://xkcd.com/303/

Excel at the Office

  • Wow, working at my dad’s place is so much fun. Had to print some cards for a guy who did his artwork in EXCEL. Yes, I’m a design snob 🙂
  • Starting a long day full of excel and lawyers – sounds fun? nah!
  • It’s been one of them days at work where every 5 minutes someone is bugging me for help with Excel, sucks to have leet skills
  • rocking some excel spreadsheet code refactoring analysis, i should be wearing a suit or something
  • They call me the Excel Doctor at work now.

Excel Is Like Magic

  • So what do I do with my evenings as an awesome single thirty-something? Amortization schedules! OH YEAH! Excel is S-E-X-X-Y!
  • Omg.. excel is like magic for me, don’t understand a thing of it _o_
  • Just had an epic moment of Excel success. I doubt I will ever top that display of brilliance and logic.
  • Who is the Patron Saint of Excel Spreadsheets? I need some candles and peace that passes understanding.
