• Best feeling when you discover a new excel function – it’s like cracking a secret code
• Know this might not impress many people but I just removed 4,000 hyperlinks from an Excel spreadsheet in 10 seconds. Used to take me 15 mins
• The "Make Time.Make Tetley" campaign for 4oD – brilliant. We’re thinking of creating one for every time an Excel spreadsheet is opened
• I may or may not be on my 7th #fantasyfootball mock draft. But it’s not like I’m obsessed. Now lemme check my color-coded Excel spreadsheet.
• what time we drinking? i’m right-click deep in an epic pivot table.
• Sometimes it is sad to think that my hours of thinking and amazing ideas eventually get boiled down to an excel spreadsheet.
• The term "system" should never be used to describe a bodged up user created macro ridden excel spreadsheet #geekrant
• Ooh. I haven’t played with pivot tables in way too long. Either Excel got smarter or I forgot how much they can do!
• I think most people would be lost in the first few minutes. Working Excel is like cracking the da vinci code.
• Train to Sheffield. Man sitting next to me working on complex xls chart. Keeps muttering & swearing. Excel tourettes?

I’m sorry, but we can’t work together in Excel. You like 100% stacked pyramid charts, and Nickelback.

• I’ve become the type of person who says things like "why is this not a pivot table? ugh!" #excel
• I’m watching a guy work with data and charts on the train. The way he moves around excel is just incredible. Majestic even. #dataenvy
• You know that feeling when you get a formula in Excel to work exactly as you want it to? Pretty good that.
• so guess what my new job is…databases, excel: pivot tables and macros. I was like a kid in a candy store…it’s sad really.
• If you’re great at making charts on Excel…you should come help me! #clueless
• Trying to make a fantasy football spreadsheet when I realize I can’t math.
• If I have to look at one more Excel Spreadsheet I think I will lose my mind. And punch a computer.
• First Sum 41, now Nickelback. Next month Avril will be engaged to an Excel spreadsheet.
• Just gotta love when you lose several hours of work in MS Excel due to "corruption". It happens more often then it should using query tables
• If you do not know how to make spreadsheets on excel then I’m sorry but we can’t work together.
• Will not let an excel spreadsheet almost reduce me to tears ever again #determined #iwilldefeatyoumaths
• I hate excel formulas, especially ones that use to work until I amended them.
• "100% Stacked Pyramid" is the most badass of the Excel chart options.
• At my sisters teaching her how to do an #excel spreadsheet… as in #formulas. She isnt taking to it as quickly as i’d like.
• I’m so pleased with myself, I just added a calculated field to a pivot table! #geekjoy
• Tried to open one spreadsheet, #Excel decided to open everything from the past 3 weeks. Arghh..
• Why did I ever think creating this table in Excel and linking it across to Word was a good idea? Oh yeah, the assignment told me to. #stupid

A jug of wine, some Mozart, and air conditioning – the perfect ending for an exhausting day with Excel.

• I was just called over to someone’s office to help them delete a worksheet from excel. This job makes me look good.
• Excel returned a "Catastrophic failure" error today. Guess Microsoft feels that having me code VBA is considered catastrophic.
• Tomorrow I’ll be mostly making graphs on excel. Almost looking froward to it because at least the PC lab has air-con unlike the science lab.
• Dear user – No, your machine can’t handle deleting 719,205,124 spreadsheet cells from a shared workbook at the same time. #Excel #WTF
• because after a terrible night the best cure is clearly to get up at silly o’clock and go to work for a 6 hour excel training session!
• Filling out a 22 tab Excel spreadsheet all day + 45 minutes of cardio = 360 degrees of exhaustion. #boo
• Wish I knew enough about computers to write a code that’d make Excel sentient so it could see how much everyone hates it & feel real bad.
• Think my dreams tonight will be a bit like Tron. Except it’ll be an Excel spreadsheet instead of a computer game & I won’t get a cool bike.
• I asked what were doing on vacation and get a detailed excel spreadsheet, only thing missing is military time #husbands
• So I wrote some code that doesn’t make sense. Deal with it #Excel! Don’t just die!
• I swear I lose about a month of my lifespan anytime excel freezes at work.
• ***shimmies back over to jug of wine, turns up Mozart, and stares at excel spreadsheet***
• I think my job security is centered around the fact that I’m the only person here who can properly format an Excel spreadsheet…

• Changing people’s lives one pivot table at a time. Not sure who was more excited – me or them. Either way a decent Monday.

Is it better if Excel turns all white, and hangs, or would you rather see a purple and yellow spreadsheet, that makes your eyes burn?

• Excel aways asks "Shift Cells Right?" Or "Shift Cells Left?" I’m just working on a spreadsheet, let’s keep politics out of it, Microsoft!
• I am pretty sure the meaning of life has something to do with fibonacci, phi, pivot tables, and excel, but I am still looking into it.
• There are 3 basic tools to find the truth in anything! Basic mathematics, Physics of the problem and Microsoft Excel from computers.
• My eyes, my eyes… This excel spreadsheet is so ugly! It needs an extreme data make over!
• Hmm, why did I name this Excel workbook tab "the horror"? *click* IT BURNS! IT BURNS! THE FORMATTING IT BURNS!!
• I have to be the only person in the world who sits on an Excel spreadsheet and manually works out all the sums because I can’t use Excel!
• I appear to have spent an unseemly amount of time with spreadsheets in recent weeks. My Mum would be proud as she loves a pivot table.
• Sometimes when I listen to ‘born to run’ while working on an excel spreadsheet, it inspires me to use purple instead of yellow. #rebel
• That thing where Excel turns all white and just hangs for five mins on the spreadsheet you’ve been working on for six hours. #ohnoes
• #OverheardAtWork: "It’s like a stop light in the wrong order." (while looking at a quite colorful Excel worksheet)
• 3D rotation in Excel charts. You know, to see if there is anybody hiding behind the charts.
• That moment when you realise you inserted a row into an excel spreadsheet but only for 1 column… #epicfail 🙁
• You’re as good as the multitude of Excel sheets with labyrinthine data and silly pie charts you are able to dish out. Like a machine. #Fact
• I’m making a grad school spreadsheet in an attempt to be organized. Unfortunately, I’m awful at Excel and it’s just more confusing.
• You know when you apologize to your excel spreadsheet and it’s like silly me! No? Shoot myself now? Ok.
• Making graphs in excel 2010 is the most frustrating experience ever. I’ve spent 20 mins searching for the ‘axis labels’ tab #grrr
• Saw my brother make an super complex worksheet on excel. And when trying to print he accidently closed the program with "dont save". #hahaha
• Voilà! Pushed some buttons on the mighty #Excel, and a fully-loaded #Pivot table just popped out in my face. #WinMomentOfTheDay
