  • i’m like nearly 17, and i can’t even do a simple spreadsheet on excel.

  • Probably not a good thing when I’m wishing Excel 2007 had more than 1,048,576 rows in a worksheet.

  • Dear Microsoft Access, it’s just not working out. Excel and I are running away together. Do not try to find us.Our love is stronger than you

  • DAMMIT excel, I do not want a million rows in this table. Doing anything in this workbook is now slow as molassas.
  • #sourceboston #dataviz it’s not about cranking out excel charts. You need to be a designer & care about what u r crafting.
  • I love learning new things! Especially if I’ve taught myself it in the first place! Who knew Excel Spreadsheets were that exciting!? 😛
  • Playing movie soundtracks on @pandora_radio makes the most mundane tasks at work so much more interesting! Excel + Dark Knight > Excel
  • Today is one of those day when I am regretting not giving my Excel workbook a meaningful name.
