Excel Twitters 20090321

ByDebra Dalgleish

March Madness, martinis and Excel related injuries. It’s been quite a week for Excel tweeters. I’ll leave it up to you to answer the 3D pie chart question. And I didn’t know that soap whittling was a county fair event, but you learn something every day – especially if you use Excel.

The Spice of Life

  • Every five minutes, for example, I get a 1 minute break while Excel churns away for no reason. I use it to contemplate the meaning of life.
  • Apparently it is excel “Catastrophic Error” Day. Good. Well. That certainly does add a bit of spice.
  • Each time I learn a keyboard shortcut in Excel I die a little inside.
  • I just forgot where “rows repeat at top” was in excel so googled it. Funny that I go there rather than the excel HELP function. Oh well.

Driven to Drink

  • have done 4 straight hours of really boring excel. think i deserve a martini. in a size of a glass that those burlesque dancers sit it
  • There’s a very large discrepancy between the amount of coffee my body can hold, and the amount I need to stay awake in my Excel training.

Awesome or Amateur

  • Making graphs and pie charts using MS Excel for the first time in my life. Probably the last too.
  • I don’t think making charts in Excel is really using the full extent of my formidable intellectual powers. But it is a relaxing activity.
  • But the Gray Background and Pastel Datapoints are Iconic: A blogger complains about making plots with Excel. http://tinyurl.com/cpgbwq
  • why the heck doesn’t excel have histograms? MS office – you are officially in my bad books.
  • 3D excel pie charts – awesome or amateur? Thoughts requested.

I Love Pivot Tables

  • Am I a nerd? Just ordered a 300 page book on Excel Pivot tables…
  • In a workshop learning to become an excel spreadsheet genius. I love pivot tables!
  • Just realized that Pivot table are not all they are hyped up to be.

Hours of Coding

  • Never rewrite someones VBA app, ever!
  • It worries me that probably the most maintainable app I’ve written is in Excel VBA
  • Trying to make sense of a VBA Function 1200 lines long. Ugh.
  • Ben has just solved a problem with 6 lines of VBA when he was expecting hours of coding! Awesome!

Blue Ribbon Excel

  • Funny post – but I want that excel spreadsheet. http://tinyurl.com/bhabn2
  • Anyone have any job leads? I’m a genius with Macs, and competition-level with Excel.
  • Just whittled down a 2,500-line spreadsheet to 400. If Excel was soap, and my office the county fair, I’d have me a ribbon.
  • Hilarious. March Madness On-Demand has a “Boss Button” that replaces game with Excel spreadsheet: http://bit.ly/ZfMSR
  • I totally use Excel all the time because I lied about knowing how to use it for my first job, and I don’t want to lie again.
  • When it comes to producing work in Excel, I reckon my aesthetic sense is better than that of ANYONE in this company.
