Excel Twitters 20091207

People love pivot tables, with the exception of a few, including the person who posted the first tweet shown below. The rest of us are glowing, while living the easy life.

A Good Pivot Table

  • Excel and pivot tables were created by someone with a deep-rooted hatred for people.
  • It’s been three days, and I’m still glowing because people called my pivot table beautiful and professional. #dorktastic
  • The only thing missing from my day is a good pivot table. Fingers crossed.
  • Showing people pivot tables on excel is so fun. Seriously. The joy they get when they realize how easy life can be now is gratifying.
  • is becoming a pivot table expert in preparations for Monday.

Compulsive Savers

  • No freaking way to undo beyond a save in Excel??? Hating Microsoft software with a passion. Begging for Numbers.
  • Remind me again.Why does Excel say sure you want to close without saving. Oh yeah, it’s so I can say no and loose all the work ive done 🙁
  • Ugh. Excel just crashed 30 min worth of work…good thing I’m a compulsive saver or it could have been more…

Question of the Day

  • Ever get the feeling that life’s just one big excel spreadsheet after another?

P.S. If you want to save your Excel file with VBA, try the code in Jon Peltier’s article today: Robust VBA Save-As Technique

Or, follow Jon’s advice in the comments below:  “If you want to autosave your files to prevent losing too much data in case of a crash, don’t use the built-in autosave feature. Instead use Jan Karel Pieterse’s AutoSafe utility. It is much friendlier, and it doesn’t overwrite the current file, it instead saves a copy. AutoSafe it about the 4th item on this page: http://www.jkp-ads.com/download.asp

Even though I’m working with Excel again, I know it’s not Groundhog Day. And don’t call me Shirley! I’m the dreamer/opportunist, he’s the "let-me-do-the-excel-sheet-to-see-if-it’ll-work". It balances out. *smackhead* Stupid mistake in Excel formulas. Now have to redo like a thousand formulas. #hategradschool JUst made an F1 points spreadsheet. Like the ones me and dad used…
