- Looking at 60 hrs of #Microsoft Access and Excel pivot tables this week. I’d rather be at a #Nickelback concert poking my eyes out
- I am in awe of the this pivot table as much as I am confused.

- Just received Analytics newsletter from Google. It contains charts *clearly* made with Excel – where’s your Google Docs now? 😀
- Excel keeps crashing this morning. Building the same bit of pivot table over and over again is getting really annoying.
- You know what I’m going to do? I’m going to put together a spreadsheet and see what’s more cost effective–hard liquor or beer.
- now that I’ve opened the excel spreadsheet and word documents and stuff, I feel so lost in my own work. I don’t even know where to begin.
- i tried to make a spreadsheet for all my comics and books and i ended up giving myself a headache. I need to stop being a control freak.
- I re-learn Excel’s bad UI each time they update it. The learning curve gets steeper each time.
- Just caused mayhem in the office with some mad excel skills #callmeharrypotter
- #excel 2007 flat files with grouping v #pivot which is better for compatabilty?? flat files I would say.
- Excel is so clever. I love how it autosaves before shutting itself down just after I’ve gone to make a cup of tea. Crisis averted.
- Once again I have been sent a large budget spreadsheet outlining several £million, and it’s in comic sans.
- Today it transpires I am the spreadsheet Queen. I am busy. This is good.
- Spreadsheet colours should be limited by default to non-injurious options. My eyes are bleeding
