I’ve been a few exciting meetings that had Excel projected on the wall, but overall, today’s Excel tweeter gives a valid rule of thumb. And if Excel is your second least favourite thing to do, what’s the worst thing?

• Swell: Excel 2010’s splash screen has annoying animation: Shoot me now…
• After 3 hrs of fighting my Excel chart to use my category labels, I realized I was using scatter plots and not a line graph. D’oh!

• I just wasted 20 mins of my life taking practice tests for excel, I know how to write binary code I think I can figure out the dumb program
• briefing went well. the agents liked all we had for them. apparently I’m the new excel expert, so I’ll be making charts the rest of the day.
• Nothing seems to work. Time to move on to next chart? But that one is a pie disguised as a gauge. Its even harder #excel
• Attn Excel Users: I know graphs are exciting what with the colors and shapes and whatnot, but just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
• I find Excel kind of constraining as a design tool too. Good for prisons and monasteries though (lots of cells)

• hey thanks for making that database. you know what would be really good though is if you could put it in an excel spreadsheet like i asked
