Maybe an important scientist in an 80s movie could work on finding a cure for conditional formatting — or jolt the old, dead version back to life. How did people work before Starbucks and Excel?!? It actually annoys me just how OCD I get when it comes to spreadsheet layouts. Not enough to stop the…
Whether you’re helping your baby, your spouse, or your mom, family time always goes better with Excel. Ok time to PANIC!..

Who knew that spreadsheets could help you meet new friends, or at least be accosted by strangers on the street? Just learned how to make charts in Excel. Slightly weirded out by the fact that I now have a job that requires this. Creating a spreadsheet of possible short fiction markets. Not a nerd. Shut…
It’s a holiday here in Canada, so I’ll keep this short. Otherwise, I might "loose" my mind! That could be dangerous. Budgeting for our wedding. Have a tab in spreadsheet called ‘Budget’ and one called ‘Actual’. Let’s see how this goes… So at 4:51pm my boss gives me an Excel assignment to formulate. Keep in…
Is there any proof that a man invented pivot tables? Or just an assumption? There are about 73 different graph and chart types in Excel and I think the Powerpoint I’m reading contains all of them. #deathbypowerpoint What would u do if u lost a grant for $900k bc you forgot to fill in one…
From now on, each of my Excel files will be referred to as "a ripping piece of awesome". My dyslexic tendencies are kind of pesky, considering I work on excel and with numbers all day. Just built an Excel worksheet to calculate time-lapse movie values. Very cool, if I do say so myself. #fb Why…

Wow, how big is that person’s monitor? I can only see 975 full cells on mine (at 100%), and my eyes are sore at the end of the day. I think I just installed 100TB of microsoft products in order to be able to spend a couple of hours reviewing a spreadsheet. @keithlaw Baseball is…
Uh-oh! I use Excel for work, and for leisure, and I think pivot tables are cool. Maybe it’s time for a nap. It is absolutely inexcusable when someone makes an error on an important Excel spreadsheet. Unless, of course, that someone is me… 😉 The main problem with making coffee with Excel is that the…
Maybe it’s the 11-year-old who’s taking his time to finish that spreadsheet. If it’s someone else, I hope the boss doesn’t read Twitter! taking my time doing this Excel spreadsheet for my boss. i coulda finished it in 5mins, but ill give it to her in 30 *shrugs* Showed 11yr old step-son how to use…
MacGyver it into Excel. I like that, and we’ve probably all done it, without knowing what to call it! Fixed the first Excel problem of the day – a nested IF that the user claimed was misbehaving. No matter how hard I look at this spreadsheet, the numbers aren’t going to change. **sighs** How could…
Have you ever been distracted from Excel by your fried bee hoon? No, it’s not caused by sitting on a deck chair that’s been baking in the sun, when you take your laptop outside to work. I click on an internal webpage link on who to contact in another department… and it DOWNLOADS AN EXCEL…
A pie chart wrapped in a donut chart? Is that the Excel version of a KFC Double Down? Person says: "reformat" I think: "computers. reinstall OS." Coworker thinks: "Excel spreadsheet. Move data round." #perspective Everyone at my workplace is crazy for Excel & spreadsheets. Everyone. today I learnt how to do pivot tables in Excel….
Yelling, cursing, and True Blood. That’s how we work with Excel — sorry Mom. La Boss: Here is disc with 10,000 records of data. Give it to me in a spreadsheet. Me: Wuuuuuuuuhhhh. Be still my beating chart. It seems that since my PhD I have *entirely* forgotten how to draw a graph in Excel….
Spreadsheet coma? I’ve had that. Usually caused by ingesting large quantities of Excel. My mouse wheel doesn’t work in Excel. My job duties are primarily concerned w/ data analysis. No witty hashtag; it’d simply be expletives. Excel VBA is my paintbrush, these General Ledger spreadsheets are my canvas, and Kaskade is my muse. Time for…
Organization or procrastination? Who hasn’t asked that question? Boo, lost my stolen wifi at work. Looks like its excel spreadsheet time for me. #needinternetnow Hubby brought home fazolis. To bribe me to double check an accounting spreadsheet for him. Still way easier than cooking. I either need someone to come over and decode this spreadsheet…
Dr. Who villains and boozy Excel work — it must be the weekend! 14 years of programming experience and I’m tasked with building an excel spreadsheet …sheesh. #mindnumbing Excellent graph! -> Every Doctor Who villain since 1963 – as a spreadsheet and visualized guardian.co.uk http://bit.ly/doL5qn #doctorwho Just an FYI.

Stupidification? Do you really need Excel to help with that? I’m not surprised by that "Booze" category though. Killer feature in #Office2010 ? Excel Slicers! Not for everyone but brilliant for ppl that use pivot tables. Forms should not be created in Excel. Trying to enter this data is one of the more annoying things…
You must have to be young, to be "gangster". I can barely see the Excel sheet when it’s zoomed to 80%. OH: we have a google spreadsheet to keep track of who is the biggest jerk in the office. 1 point for a jerk out burst. So, Microsoft, my hard-won pivot table in Excel 2007…
A better solution for preventing sharing nightmares? Don’t create shared workbooks. The end. Spreadsheet modeling has evolved into a medium for managerial Machiavellis – Michael Schrage haha… Next time don’t write that you have advanced excel skills in your resume… Dear Microsoft, your chart feature of Excel o’s awful. Please hire some Apple designers to…
If a master chef doesn’t like pivot tables, maybe he should just stick to pie charts. And remember, even though the football is over, football will be starting soon. trying to modify an existing Excel pivot table is making me stabby This morning I need cheerleading… and very strong coffee!! Transferring a year’s worth of…
It’s fine to have VLOOKUP and INDIRECT in the same Excel workbook. Not so sure about Metallica. Friends are mocking me for my color-coding, spreadsheet obsession. Is it wrong to be organized? :p My table-/chart-making utility for Excel gets a link on the Aific website: http://ow.ly/29yh8 Lots of other interesting software there. Had a scare…
Have you run into that Firefox problem, when trying to download from the Microsoft site? I can’t count the times it’s happened to me! What a day! 9am to 5pm in one place….all I saw were slides and excel sheets! It’s the one skill I kept from those days. Did you know you can add…
It must be the heat — Excel is making people cry, laugh, eat, pull teeth, and even talk to their parents. Now that’s a powerful program! Sometimes I believe most that "I’m a poet" when I am working on a spreadsheet. I’m having a high noon style standoff with an Excel spreadsheet full of numbers…
Do Mac users do any work? Are Google charts better than Excel charts? Is Excel really old-school? So many questions, and it’s too hot to think! Everyday without fail Excel crashes everything MS Office related on my work computer. Awesome. US Postal Service proposing new rates. Click the "stamp" to download an Excel spreadsheet (21…
Yesterday, it was back to work after the holiday weekend, and there was a bit of whining and moaning in the Excel tweets. And I was on mega-fire too, but it was due to the soaring temperatures, not my Excel report-making skills. Today I learnt how to combine 2 charts together in excel http://bit.ly/cpigbm sigh….
"There’s no crying in spreadsheets!" Well, I think that’s what Tom Hanks said in "A League of Their Own." Anyway, a frozen computer would be very refreshing on a hot day like this. Microsoft XL: "I’ve assumed you’d like to print your simple 2 column spreadsheet sprayed randomly over 8 empty pages of A4. Is…
Not too many Excel tweets on the weekend, probably because of the July 4th holiday. A few people were stuck behind a spreadsheet though, and I hope they got outside eventually. YES, I’M AT HOME ON A SATURDAY NIGHT MAKING A SPREADSHEET. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. You have work in the…
Hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend — the perfect time to play Excel Battleship or Spreadsheet Monopoly!
If you use Excel to create your knitting patterns, you might wish that Excel used Perl instead of VBA. And I don’t know about you, but I figure that kid is up to no good! Who voluntarily extends their school day? The Excel spreadsheet I need to print for a meeting in 10 minutes time…

Yikes! Where did June go? It must have disappeared while I was working on my spreadsheet face and box plots. Can’t sleep; working on a spreadsheet. Not to be lame, but it’s kind of a work of art.. Yeah, that was lame. Anyone know of a better method for adding a benchmark line in Excel,…

Sure, your brain knows that a spreadsheet can’t solve everything, but sometimes you try anyway — especially if it’s cold, or your feet hurt. Working on my film gear budget. Have decided that I’m in love with the Excel "sumif" function: "NO" "MUST" "MAYBE" "NEXTLIFE" I halped daughter with her IT homework in Excel by…
Nerds, bosses, engineers and gangstas — is there anyone who doesn’t use Excel? Microsoft Excel just quit and deleted 6 spreadsheets and two days of work. I should really know better by now. I find it interesting that 95% of my work is done in MS Excel even though I’m an "Application Developer". Oh young…
Do not fall for the old "helpful stripper" joke in Excel. Besides, who could be hotter than our faithful old friend, Clippy? Going on vacation without an Excel spreadsheet schedule. How long before I lose my mind? Why can’t excel just be as easy as publisher? Give me media projects all day & I’m golden….
