Was your Thanksgiving dinner all about the spreadsheets? Did you relax after the feast with football, or some soothing Excel charts? And remember, all the important Excel commands are hidden in dark corners, so call IT if you can’t find them.

Well, it’s that famous time of year where my father makes insane excel sheets to prepare Thanksgiving. At first I thought “oh just one chart this year” But then I looked underneath and found two more charts along with the Easter chart, I guess, for A/B testing? pic.twitter.com/dogVmr3oCG

Add to that, I work tech support, so I have to field phone calls all day about Outlook and Excel, because everything is hidden in little menus in a dark corner of the settings and people can’t be bothered to Google for their problems

Anyone who has tried to use Excel without a Post Graduate Degree in Excel formulas/macros knows this.— Tracy C (@TracyCollins13) November 21, 2018

I appreciate the bad Excel charts CBS keeps throwing up to show the last 10 passes.

I’d either hide under a blanket with some cookies & watch Netflix or get Excel out & work out the budget for the next 6 months. It could go either way for me ♀️

To make the heavens picture perfect, I will also require pens of 4-5 colours, pencils, eraser and sharpener, and notebooks.
Probably an Excel file to work in, but I don’t require the entire computer, so if you can isolate Excel in a separate box, that’ll be cool.

When you lie on your resume and say you’re an expert in excel, and then they start asking about pivot tables and macros. pic.twitter.com/DddK8Y2adu

Doing some work on the train and misread this as “sparkliness”. Very disappointed when I realised it wasn’t a fab new Excel tool. On a morning like this we could all benefit from creating a bit of sparkle ✨✨ pic.twitter.com/uyDFi0qPyB

Excel is a very important tool in medical & scientific research, but I’d NEVER want to talk about it outside of work, let alone on a date. pic.twitter.com/kVyke9hPfU
