Not sure who Matt is, but I hope he tweets when that new Excel command is ready. I could use one of those. i remember when i used to love excel spreadsheets. now i feel a burning hatred whenever a new one is created. thanks, work. I’m still in work hell this week, but one…
Why is a legislature like an Excel spreadsheet? They can both become corrupted. Well, that’s my guess, maybe you have a better joke. The switch to Office 2007 has gone pretty well. Except now I need to make charts in Excel. I’m smart, I can figure this out…right…? Leave it to an MBA student to…
Pimms? I had to Google that, and it seems like a good choice for a long Excel session. Oh, the things you learn in Twitter on a Friday afternoon! There is one right way to use charts in Excel. There are a bazillion wrong ways to use charts in Excel. Status: excel-hang, groove-hang, fb-not hang!…
How many roasts have you dumped into Excel, and watched them turn into hamburger? Anyway, I’m headed off to try that iPad spreadsheet experiment — wish me luck! has triumphed over the recalcitrant MS Excel and its evil pivot tables. I think I resorted to trickery, but I’ll take what I can get. YAY!! iv…
Happy Earth Day 2010! Do your part to save the environment by not throwing your computer out the window. And learn a few new Excel shortcuts, to help save energy. If I throw my computer out the window, do you think THAT will fix my Excel spreadsheet? New boss,"This doesn’t look ANYTHING like the Access…
It’s not just Excel — most things look better from your couch. You can probably even find the "tv button" from there, and enjoy a glass of wine. Going home early to work from home. Excel spreadsheets look so much better if I’m on my couch. I just got some crazy deja vu, which is…
Well, we can move columns and create tables with filters in Excel, so I don’t really think that Google Docs has pulled ahead. Now I have to get back to Excel, and making my charts look half decent. Got a work order that "execution is running slow". Should I assume spellchecker changed "Excel" or Mayor…
People keep working in Excel, and tweeting about it, even through the weekend. Some of them even dream about it, and see Excel charts when their eyes are closed. what morning..excel crashed, lost a ton of work, cant retrieve, and breakfast was only a coffee…i hope today gets better! I had a dream. It was…
Possessed spreadsheets, men’s pants and space unicorns…as usual the Friday tweets about Excel were intriguing. I like that consumer debt idea though; maybe that would help the economy. Minor Loss of Fidelity – indie band or excel error message? My desire to pick up a guitar to play and sing a song couldn’t come at…
Strippers, pudding and wallpaper. Who says Excel is boring? Good thing I’m self-employed though, or one of my co-workers would probably be doing a background check on me! being the good engineer that I am, I’ve whipped up an Excel spreadsheet for my (statistical) picks #NHL #needalife A nice stripper friend sent me an Excel…
Mmmm…chocolate. I never get chocolate as a reward for finishing an Excel workbook. But not everyone got rewards, by the look of yesterday’s tweets. There was a great deal of swearing, and a bit of hockey. rewarded with Belgium chocolate for all my excel spreadsheet number crunching budgeting efforts. 🙂 That’s Dr. Microsoft Excel to…
According to yesterday’s tweets, Excel drives you to beer, alcohol and cookies, with the occasional pie explosion. Is anyone surprised? And those estimates on the number of cells in a worksheet don’t look right to me. Maybe those tweeters have a special version of Excel. People using excel still have to know basic math. Pretty…
Penguins are cute, but I wouldn’t trust one with my Excel formulas, even if it only cost $5. A smart 5-year-old might be a better choice. Do #youremember life before Excel and MS word?? Ok, I’ve decide to open source this old code that I built during my Masters study. A CPU scheduler built with…
Could one guy with Microsoft Excel really compile all the USA census data? Interesting concept, but even in Excel 2007 he’d run out of rows pretty quickly. Anyway, I want one of those pink glitter laptops. I’m pretty sure that would make me more efficient. I want a job that I get to play with…
Yes, you can work in Excel and watch the Masters golf tournament at the same time. But it looks like Excel and the iPad aren’t co-operating fully, based on yesterday’s tweets. I like everything about Excel except numbers and formulas. I work on one thing all morning..for 4 hrs on excel ..I finish it..but I…
Yesterday in Twitter there was Excel music, Excel art, and Excel kicking butt. Incredibly, there was even an Excel hug. Hope your day was equally exciting and rewarding. is there any way to make playing super mario bros look like i’m working on an excel spreadsheet? I feel like im in an art class at…
My daughter learned to use Excel in a stage management course too, but that wasn’t her tweet (I checked!) Does that mean I’m old enough to yell at Excel to get off my lawn? I love Excel. Possibly the most worrying combination of three words ever Tweeted. I need a spreadsheet to keep track of…
Terrible Excel disasters were reported in yesterday’s tweets. Please remember to save your work frequently, and keep the important files away from your boss. You’ll feel like an Excel ninja! I work with idiots. In an Excel formula a co-worker put the text "cell above" instead of inserting the letter and number of the "cell…
The iPad meets Twitter meets Excel — and the reviews aren’t good. And I’ve heard lots of complaints about Excel, but never knew it could make you hungry! Excel sheets are making me super hungry. I didn’t stop munching/drinking things.I hate this 🙁 Satan takes form of excel spreadsheet cell B-11 and refuses to assume…
I hope you enjoyed some beautiful weather on the weekend, like I did, and spent some time away from Excel. A few tweeters were looking for Easter eggs, both inside and outside of Excel. There was an Easter Egg in Excel 97, flight combat simulator, I was the only cool kid in class who knew…
One tweeter would like to find a conference full of Excel enthusiasts — he should check the listings on the Excel Events page on the Contextures website. You should take a look too! But if you can’t make it to one of those awesome Excel events, grab a glass of wine and yell at the…
It’s April Fool’s Day, and I’m sure Excel will be up to its usual tricks, so be careful! In yesterday’s Excel related tweets, it’s interesting that one guy looks forward to boring his wife with Excel tales, and another wishes for more adventurous stories to tell. If you’d have told me 5 years ago that…
Is Excel nifty or spiffy? It certainly shouldn’t be Clippy! But even if the day is going badly, and there’s not an Excel guru in sight, try to avoid overdosing on the cereal bars. dog ate my homework. Not quite… but she did gnaw through my mac power cable in the midst of an excel…
Murder She Wrote, burning reports and the beach ball of death…Excel tweets are scary today. Maybe we should hunker down in the Excel underground, until this blows over. The new girl and my old boss are bonding over their cats and love of excel I hate the underground of Excel that is weird formulas you…
I hope your weekend was better than the tweeter’s who wants to be thrown into the Hudson River! Maybe his mood would improve if he drank a great beer and wrote poems about pivot tables. learning about Excel today…this man lost me at "this is excel" God I love Excel. Except when I don’t know…
Apparently, Excel and drinking don’t mix too well. All that drinking might be what led to the pink, purple and blue colour coding! My Boss uses Excel, but he keeps a calculator close by to check his work Dear Excel, A number stored as text is NOT an error. Get over it. My boyfriend is…
It’s terrible when you have to work and you’re just not in the mood to. Perhaps some magical adventures in Excel will cheer up that tweeter. Oh, the bitter irony of having an Excel spreadsheet called "Unbroken version", that is, in fact, buggered up… #fail Wow, changing the chart style in Excel can affect the…
I’ve been a few exciting meetings that had Excel projected on the wall, but overall, today’s Excel tweeter gives a valid rule of thumb. And if Excel is your second least favourite thing to do, what’s the worst thing? Swell: Excel 2010’s splash screen has annoying animation: Shoot me now… After 3 hrs of fighting…
Trains full of men working on Excel at 5 AM? Wow, I’m glad that I don’t have to commute. But maybe they were just calculating how much they’ve spent on comics over the years. It took me 2 hours to make one gantt chart in excel. Something here really needs to change. Which plonker had…
It’s fascinating to read the Excel tweets, and learn what people are doing with Excel. And be prepared — that could be your daughter who’s using Excel to convince you that a tattoo is a good idea. Or worse, your kid could be one of those politicians! Did an Excel spreadsheet of the sugar density…
Pagan-ish? I’ve never connected Excel to paganism, but that might explain some of the strange error messages that I’ve seen over the years. Or maybe those errors are a result of the flibbertigibbet functionality. Anyway, it’s good to see that some tweeters relaxed over the weekend, and enjoyed some Excel art and a bit of…
In the Friday tweets, the Excel users seemed to be looking forward to a weekend away from Excel. One person even deleted Excel from a laptop, to avoid working from home. Hmmm…that’s not a bad idea! And Dave says it was Scott Adams, of the Dilbert comics, who created the Boss button page for the…
Wow, putting “all business stuff” into Excel must be a pretty big job! But not everyone in Twitter is that busy – some people seem to be focussed on March Madness. I think it’s hilarious that CBS/NCAA switched the "boss button" on #mmod from an EXCEL spreadsheet to a PPT file #ncaa If you’re having…
Great, now that Love Shack song is stuck in my head. Maybe some chips, chocolate and Coke, or a VLookup formula, will drive it out. Excel says I divided by 0 and I didn’t. Computers are stupid. After doing an Excel spreadsheet, there’s 7 NFL teams I like/love and 7 teams I despise/hate I’m in…
No one was making Excel related St. Patrick’s Day plans in Twitter yesterday, but they were busy doing other things, like trying to get Excel to look good on a Kindle, and losing all their tax entries. Finally figured out how to convert date&time to elapsed hours on excel, sense of achievement marred by headache…
Some important lessons in today’s Excel tweets – save your work frequently, don’t delete your tax files before you submit them, and Excel is more important than showering. everyone else here @ starbucks is working on excel spreadsheets. i’m writing erotika. i think im out of place. Just got sent an Excel spreadsheet with the…
