Excel Twitters 20090717 – Excel Theatre Blog

Excel will soon be in the clouds, where we’ll spend our days, floating and calculating. Well, that’s the way I picture it.

Meanwhile, back on earth, Nascar, webmaster interns and the IMF are struggling along with older versions of Excel. And now, faster than you can spell Concatenate or hide a worksheet, here’s this week’s list of Excel themed tweets.

Charts Rock

Heh. Really pleased thst MS have read their Tufte. Excel sparklines rock.
Ugh, do NOT want to make charts in Excel. I’m a webmaster intern, not an administrative assistant. 🙁
Once again conquered making a waterfall chart in Excel! Now I can go home.
excel is the WORST. the minute you find something that will make my charts look dope, PLEASE let me know.

Impressive Functions

Just used the ‘CONCATENATE’ function in Excel. It would have been just as quick to type the text I wanted to ‘CONCATENATE’!
I’m 17,500 days old today! How about you? MS Excel: enter birthdate in one cell, @today() in another, subtract!
I just owned an excel spreadsheet with an If function nested in a Vlookup. I impress myself.
Oh my gosh!! I managed to key in the LINEST function for Excel correctly! Yaaaaaaay!!!

Nerds Unite

so excited, JL just sent me this link http://blog.contextures.com/ – amazing! Excel Nerds Unite 😉
Golf is to Sports what Microsoft Excel is to Video Games.
cleaning my dad’s office. We just found some really really old version of MS Excel in 9 parts on 9 floppy disks, omg

Have Some Nutella

I love the feel of an Exel Pivot Table adding up to my original numbers. A sense of accomplishment surpassed only by eating Nutella.
I hate how you can’t create multiple pivot charts from a single pivot table in #excel. Annoying.
OK Excel gods I learned my lesson. Never use Pivot Charts. Please don’t corrupt and erase my junk again.

Very Scary!

Sorry mac peeps, but Nascar runs on windows and excel. Every team has multiple spreadsheets open.
Found out that the IMF does most of its calculations using Microsoft Excel. Very scary!
bloke at work is drawing up children name options on an excel spreadsheet to define the favorites. Poor child has no chance. This is my day.

Contaminate the Planet

Had to relearn all the basics of vb and vba again. I did however have those “hell yea! It’s working”-moments again. Happy times…
I make EVERY endeavor not to contaminate the planet with more VBA than it already has!!!
Using Excel VBA to generate my reports from data I acquire from the Providence Journal http://bit.ly/136Phr
Oh, I am so so happy to be coding in VBA again. Feel like printing ‘My name is x’ in different colours all over screen with goto 10 loop.

For the Love of Pete

Today’s anguish will mostly be sponsored by: Microsoft Excel
Now I hate Microsoft Excel and the fact that it lets people hide worksheets. Why the hell would they do that?
If you’re going to use Excel to write reports, for the love of Pete PLEASE note your data source to help the next poor sucker (me).
Microsoft releasing free version online for Word & Excel in 2010? bah..i need it now 🙁
Employees: please don’t store your passwords in an excel spreadsheet on your desktop labeled “passwords”
