keepcalmandcarryonmug No matter how bad things get in Excel, remember to keep calm and carry on. Maybe some club music, or a few minutes in the freezing outdoors, would relax you.

  • Made a lot of stupid Excel mistakes last night… They were all blindingly obvious after a full nights sleep. Damn it!
  • Excel just crashed. Lost my whole days work (yes I know I should save it periodically but I didnt). Fed up now.
  • Just made a pretty impressive pivot table. Now sitting for a while feeling terribly smug.
  • My excel spreadsheet looks EXACTLY like the picture in the instructions.
  • It sounds like someone in a nearby cubicle decided to bring a rave to work. Who listens to club music while making excel spreadsheets?
  • i’ve learned if you have an open excel spreadsheet with numbers on it, everyone thinks you’re working, even if you’re not.
  • using an excel spreadsheet for the first time in 6 years #unskilledgraduate
  • i love google for random excel questions… never knew about that "text to column" function before and it just saved me 2hrs of manual work.
  • The SERIES function for chart data is more flexible. than I suspected. Fun to tinker with it this way. #excel #Walkenbach #charts
  • excel makes work so hard when I can’t open the file. I’ll just do something outside in the 30 degree weather instead.
  • It breaks my heart when my pretty presentations are desecrated with Excel charts and graphs. Waaaah!

  • I really do love starting the day with a well-done Excel chart. #excelninja
  • Dear MS Excel. When I tell you to quit & you have issues, just quit already. Don’t search for a solution to the problem & prolong the agony.
  • Day in the life of an excel spreadsheet: Get woken up. Bore people. Annoy people. Mess up a few formats. Get screamed at. Go back to sleep.
  • I realise I CAN cope with Excel forms if I colour code as well. Thus it becomes "colouring-in time’ and not ‘maths’
  • Struggling with Excel spreadsheet with one eye on my Keep Calm and Carry On poster. Must follow that advice b4 laptop ends up in garden…

image Yesterday was the start of a new week, and some people weren’t thrilled to be back in the office, making Excel pivot tables and charts. Maybe that’s why they have meetings at a burger joint instead.

  • I never had a problem with Excel, but now I’m developing a full blown hatred for it and everything it stands for
  • For the people who work in #Excel all day I give you a pat on the back. My eyes goes bonkers after 5 minutes.
