Those "Aha!" moments are great — like when you realize you can reuse your code of a poker analysis, or use a smaller font.
- Trying to remember Excel algorithms while listening to "Hounds of Love." =SUM(Steps on the water * 2)+(Oh oh oh * 3)
- Dear Microsoft Excel, I hate you and the stupid rainbow pinwheel of death you keep flashing on my screen every time I try to use you!
- 65,536. The end of an Excel spreadsheet. Obviously a slow day at work…
- I swear this place is so backwards sometimes. Just spent an hour formatting an excel spreadsheet into a bar graph. With Format Cell > color.
- I love those "Aha" moments, like today’s: I could write a program to do that, or I could just make a quick Excel sheet and be done with it.
- Oh Microsoft Excel, why must you recalculate my formula-intensive spreadsheet every time I apply a filter? No data changed!
- reformatting a badly formatted spreadsheet has me stumped. I hate Microsoft Excel with a passion.
- Excel spreadsheet + Limp Bizkit = I can actually stand working in Excel.
- I just made the most amazing Excel chart to manage my money. Pretty impressed with myself
- After spending WAY too much time trying to get this spreadsheet to work right, I have decided to go "old school!" I miss my pen & paper 🙂
- Spent all morning fixing a spreadsheet of mine that someone messed up. Please don’t break my links! #excel
- Most of the mornings work hangs on the balance as my #microsoft #excel is hanging. Don’t know what to do. Hope it fixes itself
- I am taking an all day Excel training class for work. I may just die of boredom.
- Excel, because now my boss pays me extra to make her spreadsheets.
- made some pretty excel charts via VBA today. Will defo be reusing the code in my poker analyser.
- i wonder how I’ll flawlessly print an Excel worksheet
- uff…."Computing I" – how to print an #Excel-Document: "press the print button" – wow! And this is a #masters #lecture… #fb
- at the risk of sounding like a complete loser, i must admit tt when faced w a pile of work & crazy jetlag, excel really calms me
- So. Please tell me why I can’t load a 73 MB spreadsheet on a 4 GB box? Ah. I needed to use a smaller font.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron recently said, "You cannot capture happiness on a spreadsheet any more than you can bottle it" and that was the inspiration for a few Excel tweets yesterday. Elsewhere in the Excel world, people were finding happiness in merged cells and holiday lists.
It’s Black Friday in the USA, so nobody is working. Everyone is out shopping for bargains, or staying home to recuperate from Thursday’s enormous Thanksgiving dinner. In the rest of the world, the Excel work goes on, but at least you can see the weekend from here.
Happy Thanksgiving, if you’re celebrating today! Most of today’s Excel tweeters seem happy to be using Excel, in keeping with the spirit of giving thanks. After a big turkey dinner, we might all need a wicked awesome workout spreadsheet!
Poor Excel is having a bad day – hated by some, accused of basism, and I don’t know as much French as I should, but "je te vomis" doesn’t sound too flattering. Good thing a few people are having fun with their Christmas spreadsheets.
Yes, those Excel files can keep you up all night, just like your kids do (did?). Maybe some magic and/or dragons would scare them away — the Excel files, not the kids!
Using Excel to plan your Thanksgiving dinner does not destroy your soul. Showing your boss how to insert a CD might do that. Anyway, just hide in bed for a while, or have some bacon, and you’ll feel better.
Those Excel workbooks are getting ready for the holidays, and there are many late night sessions ahead. Take time for a latte, or another beverage of choice, in the middle of those mentally exhausting days.

Excel is relaxing, and calming, and can put you to sleep. But try to stay alert, so you’ll remember why you created that new, blank workbook.
Yesterday was a very spiritual experience for some Excel tweeters, with God and angels and biblical proportions involved. On the secular side, there was time travel, chocolate and world domination.
