Excel Twitters 20090710

Oh, those Excel chart people, always complaining about something. Maybe it’s the heat that’s making them cranky. Good thing the rest of us are happy! Well, most of the rest of us – there were a few other complaints along the way. 82d3i9phx4

As usual, you can learn a few interesting things, such as how to draw a town map, and how to get a girl to marry you. And AC/DC isn’t the only music that you can hear in Excel.

Consider Yourself Lucky

• what I hate about Excel is there is a 112 different ways to do the same damn thing…anyone ever heard the concept KISS… damn
• Consider yourself lucky — I’ve had a list of URLs sent to me that was a SCREENSHOT of an Excel spreadsheet.
• I can’t turn off Excel’s ‘auto-update links’ facility without opening the spreadsheet; which automatically updates the linkes, aaargh!
• MS Excel just became a 4th grade teacher and told me “There are too many spelling or grammatical errors to continue displaying them”

Bitching and Excel Charts

• I’m sure there’s a knack to creating good excel graphs and charts, and I’m sure that I don’t have it.
• Aarrgh! Charting in Excel 2007 is completely fukced up. A guy can only build so many workarounds.
• Wow Excel 2007 charting is so bad it even makes you spell curse words wrong.
• After conferring w/ a friend, I’ve decided my twitter theme shall be “Bitching and Excel Charts”.

Excel Was Created For This

• Drawing maps … in Excel : http://tr.im/qXxx
• Mike just sent an Excel spreadsheet w/ all the Harry Potter movie times for 5 diff theaters next week. Just one reason why I’m marrying him.
• One thing Microsoft and most 12-year-olds with a cell phone have in common: too many acronyms. Thankfully, Excel was created just for this.
• Design floor plans with Excel: http://om.ly/?pMw
• Whoa, two Excel music animations in one day! http://bit.ly/Dcpul and http://bit.ly/J35Gx

Suddenly Lame

• How much do I hate you Excel ? Let me count the ways. Oh, I can’t. The formula is broken. Again.
• I just used IF, ISNA, OFFSET, MATCH and COUNTIF all in one formula. I am an Excel spreadsheet demigod.
• Going to create a support group for programmers whose closest programming is now complicated excel formulas. Call it Suddenly Lame Anonymous

On the Rocks

• Just finished a spreadsheet on Excel for dad. He didn’t even let me check Twitter in between.
• I hate you Excel. Our relationship is on the rocks. Will be changing my FB status in a moment.
• anyone got an Excel book?
