Forgot to remove the filter? Isn’t that what caused a serious Excel error at Barclays a couple of years ago? While you’re at it, check the pivot table summary functions too! Am I the only one who finds it annoying when I get an Excel workbook that still has a Sheet2 and Sheet3 when only…
Now that Halloween is over, we can finalize our candy-grubbers spreadsheets, and move on. Fortunately, there are other things, like basketball scores, to calculate. i think i’ve been a musician for too long. i seriously cant figure out how to work with an excel spreadsheet. If you don’t think I spent the last hour on…
November! How did that happen? Maybe I should let Excel do the thinking for me, and the time wouldn’t pass as quickly. says, "I’m a latecomer to the party, but wow are Excel Pivot Tables awesome." Any chance you could crack into the leave excel spreadsheet and mark off two days for me…? WOnt be…
Ah yes, a "minor change" to an Excel file, that leads to drinking. That can happen when you work at a yo-you company. Or anywhere else! The face is currently submerged in an Excel workbook. What a way to start a Friday… It’s datalicious, baby : ) It’s a friday night, time to get down…
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. why does searching the help in excel take me to books I can buy? did they abolish their help within excel? #MSSUCKS Falling asleep in class. 3 hrs of…
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. Boss: "I love Excel. It’s like chocolate. So good." Me: "Freak." Afternoon wasn’t productive at all <_< Took almost 2 hours to figure out how…
Communication skills are crucial, whether you’re trying to be tactful with the boss, or bossy with the wedding guests. If all else fails, try to get your message across in a rap song. I’m looking @ this Excel Spreadsheet and thinking "If only my life was this organized." Doin’ serious work on excel + rockin’…
If you jump out of bed to work on Excel problems, you might want to keep a coffee-related workbook close by. And maybe something for a headache. Another can’t miss idea: a zine about spreadsheet design called "8pt Verdana." Centerfold is a huge pivot table. Waiting for an acquaintance to come by so I can…
Teens, Sudoku and cheese — an Excel pivot table could help you with those, unless you’ve had a few beers for lunch. learning about Gantt (yes with two Ts) charts. I had no idea Excel could be an extreme sport I am designing my new wardrobe on an excel spreadsheet. Did I mention i was…
Spreadsheets…the stuff of dreams and nightmares. And I’m sure it would make better television than most of the stuff that’s on. I grok Excel. Really, I do. Except charts. What is it about you, charts, that make my mind mush? My day is henceforth a tangled miasma of spreadsheet-based nightmares. The horror, the horror. Will…
The only fashion math I know is shirt + pants = outfit, but maybe there’s more to it than that. I could dress my spreadsheet in festive fall colours though. And if you’d like to save a ton of work by using the Excel INDEX function, watch the video at the end. Looks like those…
Oh no! I missed World Statistics Day. The odds are good that you missed it too. Let’s get that on the events calendar for next year, and we’ll do some spreadsheet work as penance. Right after we pause for ice cream. It’s been years since #msexcel has stumped me… I won’t give up and will…
It may be aggravating to work at home, if you don’t have Excel, but it’s better than learning co-workers’ names at the office. There are fewer meetings too, and no secret maps. Nerdy but extremely useful for my work and anything in excel: relative vs absolute references. Back in office for some Excel work.. Could’ve…
Yesterday was a slow day for Excel tweets; probably everyone was still recovering from their Spreadsheet Day celebrations. Thanks to everyone who posted and tweeted about Spreadsheet Day, and at least one tweeter was going to have a huge party (albeit one day late). Dear Excel Spreadsheets, you make me and my eyes crazy. Why…
I haven’t tried sushi with Excel, but maybe it helps. Fish oils are supposed to improve brain function. Jello shots probably don’t. my worst nightmare is people yelling at me what to input into excel #nocryinginbschool #quote Sushi & Movie with Excel spreadsheet Applying for a credit card is ridiculous. I had to make an…
Happy Spreadsheet Day! Here’s a special edition of Excel Twitter to help you celebrate. Settle back, get lost in the logic, turn up the furnace and check your beer spreadsheet. A perfect day. I think I’ve overdone this spreadsheet. When I change a fomula, the computer’s fan increases in speed until it finishes calculating! I…
Yes, sometimes it does feel like open heart surgery, when you’re working on a complex Excel file. But I didn’t learn any of these skills at school — desktop computers hadn’t even been invented yet, let alone Excel! Spent the whole night talking Excel, Lithium and the state of economic policy in Chile. I love…
That tweeter is right — if you need help, it helps if you know what kind of help you need! And remember, Sunday October 17th is Spreadsheet Day. Be sure to plan your weekend activities accordingly. Trying to get into the mood to do a lot of spreadsheets. I don’t understand people’s love or Excel….
Is E. E. Cummings still alive and tweeting? Or are people just too tired to press the Shift key when they type "I"? Or maybe it’s a tribute to iTunes. Dang. iTunes has jumped Excel on my Most Used Programs list. Apparently I need to get back to work. Welcome to my world. Have to…
Mmmm…Excel with sugar and a graveyard. It’s starting to sound like Hallowe’en. Today is a spreadsheet day at work. Hate those. Luckily I work above a bakery. Excel much better with sugar. Learned how to make charts in Excel tonght. Kind of smug I managed to put it off for 24 years 🙂 How many…
Remember, before you do the Excel happy dance, make sure that all the birth dates are entered correctly, to avoid any embarrassing international incidents. The cute finance dude is teaching me new spreadsheet formulas. Excel has never been this fun. Yes … you can zoom in and out in Excel. Some people know absolutely nothing…
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Did you make a spreadsheet to plan the big dinner? You can download my Excel Holiday Dinner Planner, if you don’t have one of your own. Working on a Saturday morning is one thing, but compiling excel gannt charts is off the scale. My friend made a spreadsheet to plan Thanksgiving dinner….
Strange, I watched The Diary of Bridget Jones this week, so the tweet about it was timely, and amusing. Much more entertaining than Farmville, I’m sure, but maybe not as awesome as a cupcake. Arrrghhh i can’t work this out. Got two Excel files, same formulas, same figures – Different results #confused Another tutorial with…
Eyes are very tired from staring at Excel. Bed sounds more appealing than a weekend course in pivot tables. Maybe some Jackson 5 would revive me. And F11 is the magic key that automatically creates a chart in Excel. Yikes, I just hit a key and accidentally created a chart in Excel. That was weird….
Poor people – they spend all day staring at Excel, and don’t get recognition for saving the company some money. The boss gives them multiple spreadsheets to work on too! It’s so unfair. I figured out the problem with my Excel. Apparently there is a character limit in each cell. What kind of BS is…
It’s true – recording an Excel macro does not always record correctly. That can lead to a gloomy feeling. there’s so much lack of interest in my shared spreadsheet, I swear it just pulled a mocking face at me when I looked at it… :-/ The company I work for wants us to take an…
Is that tweeter making a "baby spreadsheet", or making a "baby" spreadsheet, or talking about a "making a baby" spreadsheet. Let’s hope it’s the first option. I’m trying to run a business here. Today’s job title: Pivot Table Jockey. I don’t even know why I still touch Excel. love my macbook but goodness…excel is the…
Wow, I’m still working on this year’s garden, and someone else is already planning next year’s. And remember, Excel is better than flowers. Excel just crashed.. all the work I’ve done in the weekend is lost. *nonstop swearing* I’m creating a geeky spreadsheet of everything to grow next year complete with colour coded sowing, planting…
I’m still celebrating Excel’s 25th birthday — how about you? It’s a good excuse for an all-weekend party. A big excel spreadsheet full of nonsense *grits teeth shaking fist at accounts on screen*, no rest for the marginally evil! Doing boring stuff, like actually listing goals and tasks for the month. You can only escape…
Hide the hammers! I’ll be working in Excel today. Fortunately, no one will be checking to see what line I’m on. I just learned how to use a pivot table in Excel. It’s a big day. Ever work on an Excel spreadsheet and accidentally change a REALLY important formula? No? Just me? Oops. Currently working…
Excel acts like a turtle sometimes on my computer, but never a Ninja Turtle. Maybe I need more pivot tables! Being organized is so much fun! I love spreadsheets. I just hope I’m never considered the lady who makes a spreadsheet for everything. Laptop in process of dying. Spreadsheet not saved. I WANT TO GO…
Funny that thinking about Excel puts some people to sleep; it usually keeps me awake! Maybe a cruise would help! its always best to start your day with an uber crazy excel problem!! Haven’t used a pivot table since college. I still get the shakes thinking of it… yehh!! quarter past five, Tomorrow I going…
I’d rather be getting my hands dirty in Excel, than in laundry and diapers. But doodling and donuts sound fun. Oh MS Excel… Do you really think 1 million rows is enough for a spreadsheet these days? Working from home is working for me (today). I’ve gotten laundry started and diapers stuffed in between working…
Having all student drivers in a horse and buggy might not be such a bad idea. It’s tougher to get into a 30-car pileup that way. Now back to my cookies and Excel. This MBA student is learning data modeling by analyzing 500,000 rows of sales data with Excel.It’s like driver’s ed. with horse and…
Lots of Friday fun, and some frustration, in yesterday’s Excel themed tweets. And remember, no matter how bad the week was, at least you aren’t an orthodontist! ‘You’ve got the same name as the excel spreadsheet i’m working on!’ I’m too smooth tomorrow – rebuilding a giant spreadsheet from the ground up. strangely, looking forward…
If everything is working fine, do not try to tidy up your code at the last minute. Trust me — it will just lead to twitching. Just went to shut down Excel and I had only ONE spreadsheet open?! Impossible. I love the reaction in the dev office when someone mentions Excel. A sudden melancholy…
