Terrible Excel disasters were reported in yesterday’s tweets. Please remember to save your work frequently, and keep the important files away from your boss. You’ll feel like an Excel ninja!
- I work with idiots. In an Excel formula a co-worker put the text "cell above" instead of inserting the letter and number of the "cell above"
- just discovered excel doesn’t like it when you put @ into a cell. It’s not Twitter friendly, yet. hehe
- i have already had one suicide-worthy microsoft excel disaster today before i left the house. don’t think i’m cut out for work/life.
- Some days, I don’t feel bad about leaving work with anger. They can’t do this without me due to the fact that, well, I know how to use excel
- made my first ever (voluntary) Excel spreadsheet today – woohoo!
- I love Excel macros and the fact that I can now do all my data analysis by clicking a single button.
- ‘Excel spreadsheet’: most hateful redundancy of our time? Had you just said ‘spreadsheet’, would anyone assume you’re using Quattro Pro?
- Lesson of the day: don’t procrastinate saving online files to desktop. Your boss WILL delete entire excel documents containing billing info.
- Our ancestors imagined Hell as a firey place full of smoke and monsters. For modern humans, the new Hell is an endless Excel spreadsheet.
- Don’t ask a graphic designer about excel. We don’t use it. And if we do we hate it.
- Every librarian should know their way around a pivot table these days!
- I just lost 5 very tedious hours of work on the project because "Excel encountered a problem and had to close". I’m very, very angry!!!
- Love how no question gets answered faster on Twitter than excel questions!
- Okay, people, thinking cap time: is it really a good idea to tell your boss that you’d have "absolutely no use" for an Excel training class?
- Wish I wasn’t such an amateur at excel, but it’s getting better! Today I did charts and graphs!
- My boss doesn’t know what pivot tables are in excel. He thinks I’m some kind of wizard with the speed I can condense information.
- Wasted 15 minutes trying to figure out how to add an axis title in an Excel graph. Why isn’t this obvious?
- Mediocrity on the Edge: just finished saving my work doc before my screen went blank. for once I was a step ahead. like an excel ninja.
- I once responded to someone’s "message in an Excel document" with a "response as an Access database" – They missed the joke
- iPad thoughts: surprisingly fast, convenient, beautiful. Downsides: flash and excel incompatibility. Upsides: friends are jealous.
