Excel Twitters 20090327

ByDebra Dalgleish

Lots of tweets about the Excel Hell video this week. I didn’t find it too funny, but apparently lots of other people did. Apress tweeted about Pro Excel Financial Modeling: Building Models for Technology Startups . I did the technical review, and got my copy this week. And I don’t think my kids are bragging in Twitter about my pivot table skills, but it’s nice to know that parents are appreciated.

Excel Hell

  • The Website is Down episode 2 – Excel Hell http://bit.ly/3sTH I love these videos.
  • Dante didn’t know about Advanced Excel training courses in dark basements.
  • Maybe lifting the 65536 row limit in Excel wasn’t such a good idea. Just lets people create bigger monstrosities.

  • excel 2007 has a camera feature…i am both officially over excel 2003 and officially a huge nerd…
  • Excel isn’t such a burden with the right numbers. 😀
  • value of calculus in real world: negligible. value of microsoft excel in real world: significant.

Pivot Table Fu

  • Anyone ever have a pivot table disappear? Mine just died or escaped–not sure which. 🙁
  • pivot table is awesome, but i have a feeling it’s at the expense of my lifespan.
  • pivot tables is the evil tool that makes excel actually useful, but at the same time adds a layer of challenge to MS Office.
  • I go to my Mother for any and all Excel-related shennanigans. She out-geeks me on it by far, her pivot-table-fu is strong.

Excel Is For Finance

  • Hot off the press: Pro Excel Financial Modeling: Building Models for Technology Startups by Tom Y. Sawyer http://tinyurl.com/dkzlrj

Or Not

  • Compiling list of cat names, for the droves of cats that I will enevatably spend the latter of my life with. Maybe I should do this in Excel
  • I think most video game players would be shocked at how much time game designers spend staring at Excel.
  • Is it possible to make an Excel document outlining where to put food in a pantry? Answer: a surprising yes.
