Excel Tweets Roundup 20200221
Do your co-workers ask you for Excel help, after things get swirly bad? Maybe they should spend less time playing Tic-tac-toe, and more time learning about macros. Unless Bill Jelen is right, and it’s the beginning of the end for Excel VBA!

Here are my favourite Excel tweets, from all the ones that I saw on Twitter this week.

If my job has taught me anything, it’s that my Excel knowledge will take me wherever I want as long as my boss is 40 years old or older.

I have made it to age 33, through multiple professions, without having to learn or use Excel: The Devil’s Checkbook. Now a grad class I’m in is just assuming I know how to chart data in it. Yeah, no. I’m using paper and a marker.

I’ve got tons of other priorities but I often get called to being chief excel monkey for the day and it sets me behind on all my other work. And the situation is usually this swirly kind of bad by the time it hits my desk.

For my tradfin / boomer followers, let’s share some stories of what used to be considered high-tech finance.
Mine: my boss at CS Tokyo in 2007 would show off his Excel 2003 spreadsheets, which were just his recorded VBA macros.
He’d make sure not to add unnecessary movements

Mary Ellen: What are you doing today?
Bill: Creating a video called “The beginning of the end”.
Mary Ellen: That sounds ominous. Global warming?
Bill: No – the death of #Excel #VBA
Mary Ellen (shakes her head): Geek… pic.twitter.com/0s7tblKtqy— Bill Jelen (@MrExcel) February 20, 2020
