Excel Twitters 20091210
Some people use Excel for simple things, like a shopping list, or a bit of homework. Other people are more ambitious, and spend their days analyzing data. It’s funny though – the shopping list people seem happier than the analysts.
But either of those activities is better than helping your dad with his Excel problems. Unless, of course, your dad is a data analyst.
Analyze This
- Dear MS Excel, please play nice with MATLAB, I need you two for the data-analyzings!
- boycotting Que Publishing…1 of their books suggest to get data OUT of a database, IN to Excel so it is "easier" to analyze – Idiots!
- Has anyone used totaltesting.com or other remote excel skills test? I want to screen analysts for advanced excel skills. Thx.

Dear Dad
