Excel Twitters 20090410
Concagnate? I guess that’s how concatenate would sound after a few drinks. That must have been a bar in Seattle. I would have guessed a Nanaimo bar, but Ken was busy watching the CMA awards.
And speaking of Canadian things — maple wine? I’m not sure about that, even if Excel is involved. I’ll stick with the coffee.
The World Exploded
- My instructor just used the word “sexy” regarding excel formulas…I like her!
- arrayed formulas in Excel: I don’t know how you work but am glad that you do
- Accidentally pressed Ctrl-` in Excel, and the world exploded. What the heck is that used for? That’s the key with the tilde, not the quote.
- So I just spent the last hour thinking that Excel was giving me calculation errors, then I realized Auto calc was turned off. 1 hour wasted
Stupid Excel
- just discovered that apparently MS excel doesn’t do the order of operations correctly… i’m so disillusioned
- Why does Excel die with long lists? Bags of memory, 2×64-bit CPUs takes 30 mins to calc a simple but long list; like 70’s style batch system
- working on a color coded advertising planning calendar & quickly running out of colors, stupid excel and your limited color choices
A Drink Might Help
- What the hell does concagnate mean? And why have I heard it used 3 times at the bar? Excel nerds..
- Building my first dashboard in Excel. Beer is a wonderful assistant.
- Husband -using excel to calculate sugar content in sap for making maple wine. Me – in awe of his mathematical mind (so not like mine!)
Fun and Games
- Best use of Excel ever: modeling my NCAA brackets, and winning the pool.
- has just found out that a big chunk of her favourite game was created via Excel macros. The world is run by these things, it worries me.
- Finished creating sudoku-solving Excel spreadsheet. Why bother? Why not?
- haha yes! nothing like excel macro games for those poor guys who work for companies that delete solitaire off the work computer.
- is doing some Excel magic! It must be magic, because I fail to see the science to it….
Excel in the Arts
- If excel wasn’t just a bunch of 0’s and 1’s i’d rip out its throat like patrick swayze in roadhouse.
- excel makes me want to come over all michael douglas in falling down. rrrooooaaaarrrr!
- Alice In Chains …and an Excel spreadsheet. An unlikely combo.
- Writing up my Excel course while my wife and child watch the CMA awards (and no, not the accountant CMA’s!)
Labour Saving
- Reading a reddit comment about a guy that wrote Excel VBA scripts to do his job for him and then hung out at coffee shops all day.
- I think MS Excel is the PERL of the non-programming world: does a lot, results in unreadable information, proponents hang onto it for ever
- no….this was personal labour-saving automation, so VBA/Excel…not serious programming.
