Excel Twitters 20100407
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.
