Do your Excel demos turn into train wrecks, or does that only happen early in the morning? But remember, it’s best if you don’t try to throw your computer out the window. Just unplug it, and pretend the power went out. Thanks to @matthews_p
Do you know too much about pivot tables? Should you avoid making Excel charts at work? Don’t ask Frank to answer these questions – he doesn’t know anything about Excel.
Which is worse – watching your boss stumble around in Excel, or having Excel automatically change your numbers to dates? Maybe you can find a Yammer group to talk about it.
Do you add disclaimers to your Excel workbooks? Should you? And in a related question, how often do you scream into the void about Excel?
Has experience taught you to save your Excel work more often? And what about your parents? Do they use Excel to solve all their problems, or are they still yelling at pivot tables.
This week’s Excel tweets collection is filled with sad stories. Have some ice cream handy, before you start reading, because these tweets will give you something to cry about.
Are your Excel formulas longer than a football field? If they are, you should probably save your work every 2 minutes or so. You don’t want to lose 3 days worth of work!
Why does Excel crash when you click the Save button? Don’t cry, just do some worksheet formatting, and pretend Excel is an adult colouring book.
Does Excel need a background of goofy music or GoT battle music? I’d never heard of Kevin MacLeod, but he’s got lots of “Comic Sans” tunes that you can use, and cool graph templates too!
Last week on Twitter, Microsoft Excel posted a fun list for the “5 jobs” challenge. Nice one, but I had more than 5 jobs before Excel was invented – how about you?
Could you be replaced by a robot? Or an Excel file?Here’s this week’s collection of Excel tweets, for your Friday entertainment. Which one sounds like something that you could have posted?

Here’s this week’s collection of Excel tweets, for your Friday entertainment. Which one sounds like something that you could have posted?
Do you ever end up crying in the bathroom, because Excel crashed? Or do you find it relaxing to play with Excel, after a long day at the office? Either way, you’ll probably relate to some of this week’s top Excel tweets.
Would you walk out, if find out that your date can’t work Excel? And do you yell at your Excel formulas, or are they exactly what you needed to make everything work?
Do you like to scare your co-workers, by showing them them all the macros that run your reports? Or is it scarier to open a workbook built by someone who doesn’t know how to use Excel?
Have you ever overdosed on spreadsheets? Do you spend enough time talking about pivot tables? Is there any Excel problem that someone hasn’t written about?
Is it possible to add too many sheets to your Excel workbook? Maybe we should have an 8 PM meeting to discuss this. Or, we could just communicate via our Excel files instead – that sounds like a better idea!
Does the pivot table gang protect your Excel sheets to keep you from messing them up? Or can you be trusted to leave those business-critical processes alone?
Any day is better if you start with a pivot table, right? And don’t tell me that you’ve never heard of that mythical creature! Otherwise, you’ll have to smile and nod while I explain what it is.
Did you forget how to make pivot tables, during the holiday break? Or are you happy to be back at work, organizing your life in Excel, and feeling like a superhero?
While you clean the spaghetti off your face, remember to enter today’s work outfit in Excel. You won’t get a bacon reward if you wear the same thing two days in a row.
Honestly, could you work with people who don’t use INDEX/MATCH? They probably don’t like pivot tables either, I’m sure they never save their work, and all their data is stored in giant, messy piles.
Will the world end if you don’t finish that Excel file? Probably not, but don’t run a macro that adds a pie chart to your Christmas budget. That’s just asking for trouble.
Was your Thanksgiving dinner all about the spreadsheets? Did you relax after the feast with football, or some soothing Excel charts? And remember, all the important Excel commands are hidden in dark corners, so call IT if you can’t find them.
Remember, if coffee can’t help you, a pivot table can! Unless, of course, your computer freezes, or the undergrads are asking too many questions
How’s your day going? Did all your complex Excel formulas work, and you’re dancing out of the office? Or are you taking work home, and crying in front of the computer. At least it’s Friday, so the week is almost over! This Week’s Tweets Here are my favourite tweets, from this week’s collection. ______________________________________ I…
Do you use Excel like duct tape, to “fix” things? If so, don’t brag about it on Twitter – future employers might be reading! And certainly don’t tell anyone, if you think that pie charts are cool!
Do you ever work on old Excel files accidentally? Is your bad behaviour corrupting Excel? Make a few pivot table jokes and you might feel giddy again.
Has Excel ever given you a heart attack? Does the boss like to mess up your perfect worksheets? Which dunderhead wrote the formulas in your workbook?
Can your cat make a pivot table? Were the Jackson 5 singing about Excel? Do your Excel workbooks have fancy moving parts?
Will pivot tables ever learn that you always want a sum, not a count? If not, maybe you could teach your cat to fix it. Or are you too busy building sexy spreadsheets?
Sorry, there’s no Excel Tweets Roundup this week. Twitter changed something recently, and that broke the RSS feeds where I look for Excel tweets. When (if) the Twitter feeds are fixed, I’ll be back! In the meantime, scroll back through the old Roundups – you probably missed a few! –Debra _________________ ______________
Do you remember your first pivot table? Have you ever copied Excel data into infinity? What other stories are in your Excel saga? Thanks to Patrick Matthews for his contribution.
