Excel Tweets Roundup 20180727
How many years have you been making the same mistakes in Excel? Have you accidentally (or intentionally) summoned any demons yet, with your formulas? Do NOT start reading that Demon thread – you’ve been warned!
This Week’s Tweets – Plain Text
Here are the tweets in plain text. The embedded tweets are below.
- 20 years with excel and 20 years of making the same stupid mistakes over and over with it.
- I can’t wait for some future interview where I am asked to showcase my excel skills and I whip out a fantasy football excel workbook to win them all
- A Pivot Table Too Far
- I love how TV shows about the supernatural treat Latin like it’s a deeply occult ancient language. Instead of a language so pervasive and easily learnable that it was used for the dreariest clerical data. Imagine summoning a demon by reading formulas off an Excel spreadsheet.
- I have to use this stupid excel spreadsheet for some of my work reporting and it is so full of errors and really is not user friendly. Someone was def up-selling their excel skills when they put this together
- What do you do for fun? Work. Read. Charts.graphs. Excel.
- Someone at work:”I have a problem with…”Me: “I made an Excel sheet for this which could help to organize this.” Everyone: “OF COURSE you have an Excel sheet. You always have!”
- My dad brought his old work laptop home. It had a word processor, some early version of excel, and if you hit F8 it switched between the work sheet and a chess game.
- I have QuickBooks and Excel open in front of me all day and whenever I need to do math I still use the stupid four-function Calculator application
- I’m convinced office work is 75% pretending to be doing something important and 25% opening and closing excel
- My family keeps texting me beautiful pictures from their vacation, and I’m sitting here in my office thinking, “Well at least my pivot table looks nice.”
- BOOM – I* have made excel work with pre-1900 dates.*By I, I mean I downloaded an add-in by some dude because the macro code was damn confusing.
- Woke up in the middle of the night and now I’m working on excel spreadsheets… work really getting to me
- It used to be so simple…Overheard at work comparing the upload of an excel file that took 5 minutes to complete to spending a day on a typewriter with a calculator
- What’s the German word for spending more time trying to get an Excel formula to work than it would’ve taken if you would’ve manually done the work yourself
