Be careful when working with pivot tables! They can turn your world 2 dimensional and take over your brain. I wonder if using formulas in an excel spreadsheet for the christmas card list is a tad over the top? If I stare at this spreadsheet hard enough, the numbers will magically appear. Its too much…
There’s more and more Christmas chat in Twitter, and Excel is helping us get ready. Now I have to go and knit a nice spreadsheet for my sister. Filled in my Christmas budget spreadsheet. Being an adult stinks. Can’t believe this course references #excel 2003. 2 releases behind!! Should I really be expecting more from…
Hugs, drinks, fill handles, colour coded Christmas lists — these are things that made the weekend better for some Excel users. I’ve been entering data into an excel spreadsheet for the past three hours. I need a hug. Or a drink. Or both. Learning #Excel macro writing on my own via Google search isn’t fun,…
The office air is dry, there’s no T, and the Excel formulas don’t work. We should have some pie, and slack off for the rest of the day. The air in my office is so dry, I am afraid I will dehydrate. While working on an Excel spreadsheet. What a way to go! #thirsty it…
Yeah, those macros that close a workbook can be hard to debug, if you aren’t paying attention. Maybe you should keep the door closed, to spare your co-workers’ ears, while you deal with that shizz. I. Hate. Excel. And yet I sadly see it’s value. Too bad I’ve gotta learn like half a semester’s worth…
Constantly resizing the Excel rows and columns isn’t a sign of OCD, and it’s perfectly normal to work on a spreadsheet in the middle of the night. I hope! totally rocked an #if statement in #excel. haven’t done that since #college. I working in excel whilst my boss listens to Mumford & Sons…it reminds me…
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…
Oh, that poor teacher! I wonder if he drowned in data. I begin, as with so many other things in my life, with an Excel spreadsheet. I seem to be in excel spreadsheet trouble! I’m drowning in data! Youtube, excel spreadsheet, phone, blanket, foam, pillow and floor … this is my next hour until I…
Take your mom an Excel book, and get a sandwich. Sisters might not be as generous with the food. Dear Excel, I’d love it if I could use an @ in the beginning of a cell. Thanks. Computer refuses to open 2 Excel spreadsheets at the same time. You don’t have a choice in this…
If John Legend had stuck with Excel, he could have had his 2.5 minutes of internet fame too. Too bad he switched to that career in music. Microsoft #Excel: the "XL" stands for "extra large". Correction Excel is not my best friend today and has been replaced with a bacon bap, yes, much better #baconismyfriend…
Do you use Excel for things like predicting the visible spectra of hydrogen? Or for hand colour coding media lists? Or as a sleep aid? Making simple excel spreadsheets @ work is more fun than doing actual work. It also makes me look like a genius. argh. Google search for missing pivottable charts in excel…
Of course you’ll never love PowerPoint like you love Excel. Trust Excel. Love Excel. Well, apparently I cannot trust my Excel spreadsheet’s math. I’m not out $600 for the month, thank you very much Spreadsheet is such a sexy word, it a pity to waste it on a budget. Did my mention that my Excel…
Well, I haven’t used Excel on a Mac for several years, but it didn’t feel like I was standing on my head. They must have "improved" it in recent versions. so i was working on my worksheet for excel and i hit the power button with my foot and lost it all #tears Problem solving…
Wine, cheese and pivot tables — someone has discovered my secret! Now I’ll get back to work on that red and green Christmas budget workbook. unfortunately the only contact I have with Santa is to send him a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet of ratings once a week. I love that, when faced with a logistical problem,…
When you work in Excel on the weekend, it seems to go better with cartoons or football, playing in the background. As far as I know, either American or European football is permissible. Canadian football ended yesterday, so you won’t find that on television until next summer. 10 years ago, i couldn’t have imagined that…
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. trying to untangle a spreadsheet. It’s like when…
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. Actual work done so far today: Opened an…
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! i take back all the insults i have given regarding Excel. all you need is a…
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. My computer just took 23 mins to load an excel doc….
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! My spreadsheet records marks for quality, quantity and variety of scones, cream, jam and tea. Part of my quest for the ultimate cream…
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. Making a excel spreadsheet relationship chart. This will be epic. Dear Tech Support, When I click…
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. Am working on my very 1st ever Excel worksheet. Yes. Laugh all you want. Excel is chugging away, handling millions…
After all your mother has done for you, surely you can give her a bit of help with Excel. It seems easier than moving to Mars — but I haven’t met your mom. 😉 I have a love hate relationship with excel. It can do so much yet so little at the same time! I’m…
Should people in their 40s and 50s be allowed to work on critical Excel files? Maybe they should leave the charts and junk to the younger folk, and spend their time daydreaming, or playing BlackJack. While daydreaming at work, it’s best to keep an elaborate Excel spreadsheet up on your computer. No one questions a…
If your dad is an accountant, he won’t be impressed if you accidentally print a 65 page workbook. He might like that wallet money tracker though. Hmm…haven’t thought of using a spreadsheet to keep track of money in my wallet. That’s a great idea 😀 My stupid Excel spreadsheet is not working. I bet it’s…
Apparently Dr. Who’s scarf has a big following, and it’s great the Excel can help the fans with their craft projects. They probably wake up in the middle of the night to work on the fringe calculations. Excel is pointless. Just use the little chart things in Word. Waiting for an excel macro to Finish……
Snow day? Who’s having a snow day already? Maybe that’s a typo and the tweeter was reading about Excel on a SLOW day. Yeah, that must be it. But my car has its snow tires on now, so I’m ready! copying charts from excel to word in mac is like watching paint dry, but slower….
I’ve never had a spreadsheet chat session, but that "attached pivot table" email sounds familiar. Why is Amazon telling me to buy a comprehensive guide to exploring Excel? Doesn’t it know that ALL I use all day at work is excel? #Excel is not helping me excelerate any part of my life whatsoever Grr data…
Have you heard about artist Agnes Martin before? And is your Excel work Gambaru or likely to cause a stock market crash?

Are you feeling "troned out" from starting at Excel files? That must be a phrase from a different generation than mine, because I had to Google it. Anyway, build a few pivot tables, and you’ll <3 spreadsheets again. I took an Excel class one time at work and it was all just blah blah. I…
Maybe you should use the minimalist approach in your Excel files. Then you could stop work at 4 PM, to watch Oprah, instead of working on charts until 3 AM. I appear to have entered a minimalist phase of spreadsheet formatting #mlia Just close an entire Excel workbook without saving, had only spent the whole…
You’ve probably had some less than ideal jobs, but were you ever locked in a closet to work on Excel? Now that’s an exercise in torture! Such a serious work environment. I walked by every laptop in there and saw nothing but emails and excel sheets. Have got a full on spreadsheet going for Xmas…
Don’t try to spell concatenate, just use the ampersand operator to combine text in Excel! Save your energy for more important things, like teaching Excel shortcuts to your dad. I seriously have to stop using #excel for word processing; I’m holding onto hope that there’s a formula like =wordprocess(), what a genius. Ok so my…
If you could have one new Excel feature for Christmas, would it be a 3D scatter chart? Of course, if I had a dollar for every data dump, I could buy anything that I wanted! On a couiple of my work reports, I make nice black boxes on Excel, then with a brand new hi-lighter,…
Plenty of spreadsheets have put me in a bad mood, but I don’t get The Economist, so had to Google to see why this week’s cover was so upsetting. To save you the trouble of hunting for it, here’s what the cover looks like. I’ve been at work for 1.5h and all I’ve done is…
If your boss went to celebrate at the Giants parade, leaving you with an Excel file that’s due by noon, try eating some chocolate. It might not help, but can’t hurt! Trying to teach yourself Excel in order to create a spreadsheet due by noon is NOT the bizness!!! Dayumn! someone teach me how to…
