Excel Twitter 20100514

Now that Mother’s Day is over, tweeters are once again complaining about helping their moms with Excel. Ingrates! And even the Excel tweets have the occasional mention of non-nerdy topics, like the Cannes Film Festival. We’re so cool!

• Just made an Excel spreadsheet to compute final grades… that’s more than I’ve done for my actual classes ALL semester.
• Criminy sake, could Excel produce nastier HTML code than it does? (Why, yes — it could be Word.) Yeesh.
• people use word docs? If it’s not in Excel or PowerPoint, then you aren’t doing real work!
• I saw an excel spreadsheet then I blacked out…
• Why oh why is my teeny spreadsheet 33MB ? Grrr – more Tory tomfoolery I suspect !
• Never attempt to make a spreadsheet in an hour when everyone else has spent like 1 or 2 months on theirs! 😐
• No ma’am, there probably isn’t a chart already on the internet of your very specific measures for you to paste into your excel file. Really.
• Some real life truths communicated through the use of excel charts – http://bit.ly/8XB95B – Ohh So True!
• Ugh just wasted like an hour doing five sheets of excel charts for my mom. With her nagging cluelessly right next to me the entire time. -_-
• In my day we optimized with excel solver and were damn happy for it too.
• She goes, "I didn’t know how to turn the letters into all caps in Excel, so the other half of that spreadsheet is in Word"….RAWR!!!
• I’ve never had reason (that I know of) to use a pivot table…why would I?
• confession: I’ve never learned how to use excel. double confession: I have no idea what a spreadsheet is for.
• finding my boss’s borderline obsession with excel perfection to be utter torture
• Building my home grocery management in #MSCRM 5.0 as an exercise! See it now – dynamic pivot table to report on where the sugar is going!
• I still have my spreadsheet induced headache from yesterday. I’m not looking at the spreadsheet today but I’m still haunted by it.
• i refuse to move from 2003 until they fix the stupid graphing issues in excel. 🙂
• listening to laura marling – is lovely (+ will now always remind me of your car!) is making an excel spreadsheet less painful x
• Just discovered the joys of a pivot table. Excel, you are so organized.
• Jealous of everyone I know at Cannes right now. Me? Today is Intense Financial Spreadsheet Day. Not exactly the same, huh?
