Excel Twitters 20090327
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.
