Excel Twitters 20100201
Apparently Bill Gates hasn’t solved the world’s problems yet, and his pie charts and memos aren’t helping. And while we’re dropping names, Tufte was mentioned in the Excel-related tweets too.
And I don’t believe that you’ll fail to lose weight if you use Excel – that’s why I created the Excel Weight Loss Tracker !
A Numbers Game
- The Excel spreadsheet I opened in Apple’s Numbers is kicking its ass. Slow updates, beach ball, Force Quit. Microsoft wins this battle.
- Have you tried the apple version of Excel, Numbers! It makes pie charts delicious. And they have recipe templates!
- I just tried to open an Excel spreadsheet with over 400,000 rows in it. I think the core is going to melt right out of my Macbook.
- Well there is Excel for Mac as well, but Numbers is for when you care about beauty in your spreadsheet. 😛
Word of the Day
- I’ve been looking for Excel "Data validation" button in Word for around 1 minutes. Am I stupid or what??
- I hate excel with a burning passion. why can’t I just use word? I’m SO not tech savvy…
- PowerPoint and Excel were on Tufte’s hit list today. But surprisingly Word was suggested for creating a presentation.
Weighty Subject
- If you’re using an excel spreadsheet to lose weight, I’m pretty certain you’ll fail
- I just made an Excel spreadsheet documenting my weight loss. With a chart. #geek
- Def just made an Excel spreadsheet to track my goal to lose 25 lbs…that’s how you know you’re a nerd.
Dear Bill
- yeah! maybe we should notify @BillGates about our excel hate.
- 15 years after Bill Gates’ Internet Tidal Wave Memo, I can’t export a usable html table from Excel. Yeesh
- I know that vaccines are working because I have a pie chart…, @BillGates on @ToTN. So Powerpoint & Excel are saving lives?
