Excel Twitters 20090515 – Excel Theatre Blog

My class ring didn’t feature an Excel pie chart, but I wasn’t an Economics major. Meanwhile, Excel is shifting formulas around, and helping to track some shifty political expenses. And I use VLOOKUP almost every day, but not much call for Proper, Concatenate or Len.

Signs of the Apocalypse

Class ring arrived today, but I can’t wear it yet. I’ve got to earn it first! Three days. The Econ icon is a screen w/ an Excel pie chart.
Holy whoa, Excel is actually AGREEING WITH ME. ON A CHART. (apocalypse!)
I’m in Excel drawing a trendline on a chart and it’s using y=mx+b! I have finally applied slope intercept formula to real life!

Fun With Formulas

“a formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references”. that’s nice, excel. would you like to tell me which it is?
Proper, Concatenate, and LEN are 3 of my favorite Excel functions. Use them all the time. Love VLOOKUP as well.
there are times when I think that excel is laughing at me and shifting my formulas around…
just made an excel spreadsheet of all our debt. it’s pretty exciting…not the debt the spreadsheet.

Now That’s a Spreadsheet

I owned Microsoft Excel like Sora with the Ultima Keyblade…if you don’t get the reference you’re not cool enough. : ]
loves tea and Excel so it’s quite apt that I’m drinking tea from my ‘I Love Spreadsheets’ mug 😀
Jus printd huge excel file on 9 A3 pgs. to tape it together in 3×3 matrix. Laid out on office floor, now thats what I call a “spreadsheet”!

Chrysler to dealers: it’s not that we don’t like you, it’s that our Excel formula doesn’t like you. Sorry about that.

Task Pane

MS Excel Engineer: “Got a great idea, let’s not carry formatting info when you copy/paste data from Word to Excel”. Standing ovation.
How can Excel be so amazing and Word be such a confounding pain in the ass? One makes my life better and one is the bane of my existence

Plots and Production

I made a Pivot Table today at work to aggregate some performance data. I think that makes me a producer automatically.
I work for a BI company, providing a BI solution for a customer, but I can’t use BI tools to produce my weekly report! I have to use excel!
I’m now using Excel to plot out act 2 of teh Walter screenplay. Is there anything a spreadsheet can’t do?

Good Thinking

gotta love vba program comments in released software – “It wont work without a swap like this. I don’t get it.”
I have a feeling that knowing VBA will make me really marketable when I move to Texas. What do you think?
Finally fixed a tedious Excel query macro error after having big realization in the shower this a.m. It’s where I do all my good thinking.

Local Experts

Excel class coming up. I signed up for it and my boss laughed. “You dont need that youre our local expert.” Little does she know, google is.
…I could be making $18 an hour if I was fluent in Japanese and Excel. Dammit.
Just woke up and found myself in a cubicle with autocad and excel open. I’m working on something, but what is it?
