Well, pivot tables are “wicked awesome”, so that song adaptation from Wicked is perfect!

There are countless tweets this week about a new application that makes Facebook look like Excel. If you’re that bored, it might be better to play a game of Solitaire.

Excel is exciting, not boring, and it isn’t the boss of you. But I’m a mom, and easily impressed. Moms are easily impressed by anything relating to Excel. Teach them to make a spreadsheet and you’re a hero. If there has ever been a great reason to add more RAM to your machine its #PowerPivot…
It’s Father’s Day this weekend, so here’s a collection of past tweets that feature Dads and Excel. My dad sent me an Excel spreadsheet I made for his business when I was a kid. He still uses it. I am oddly touched by this. i love my dad, he is visiting nyc for his b…
If you write a gigundo macro, maybe Excel can put those numbers in automatically. And it might turn on the ceiling fan too! Open a spreadsheet and put some numbes in. That always looks busy & important. 😉 Why doesn’t Excel have auto-numbering? Such a stupid mistake. How to fix a problem spreadsheet. Post long…

It’s not clear when that Excel Datascope add-in will be available, but it does look funky. In the meantime, you can drink coffee and work on your pivot table skills. The spreadsheet was invented in 1972 by Mr Lotus "Supercalc" Excel to work out who still owed him money after a night out at a…
Daddy is right – you should have a budget in Excel, especially if you’re a bride. But then you’ll need a real job, to help pay for everything, so the budget works. At my last job I made a nice spreadsheet for someone only to have them print it out, write on it and fax…

Punching Excel in the face is not recommended. If you need a break, play some iTunes, or clean your car.

Excel might be prone to errors, and crash occasionally, but it can recover a file from 1601, and help you make a wedding cake. That should come in handy. Microsoft: make the default colour palette in Excel ‘softer’ so I don’t have to cover my eyes when looking at spreadsheets. Thanks. Was doing a report…
There’s an Excel joke in today’s tweets, but at least it isn’t toilet humour. That might affect our grades. I showed someone how to delete columns from their excel spreadsheet today.

Cavemen had plenty of problems, but they didn’t have to worry about pivot tables or VLookups, or wasting time in Twitter. What should I say to a client that wants to open my Excel (2003) sheet in Microsoft works? to solve this problem, you either need excel, or patience, and i know that none of…
Not many Excel tweets on yesterday – I guess everyone was outside, enjoying the sunshine, and drinking beer. Well, almost everyone – a few people were stuck inside, staring at pretty spreadsheets.

Yes, it’s great to work from home, but you might need a black belt in Excel, to convince your employer that it’s a good idea. Or make a mean latte. If you merge all cells in #Excel, can you create a living organism? If you can, will it run on #Microsoft’s #DNA? Huh? Excel is…
Man vs. Excel? Harry Potter vs. Spreadsheet? Is that how the world will end? Or will it just fizzle out in a wet week? We’ve had plenty of those lately. I’ve been missing Excel so much, I made this pie chart at a kids indoor play centre. Next up..pivot tables http://t.co/m2wIEUY Hmmm. Is it wrong…

You might go broke if you buy a new computer every time Excel slows down. Use that waiting time to write poetry or draw up your house plans.

Not much Excel activity over the weekend. Perhaps everyone was waiting for the Rapture, and postponing those school and work projects. I’m in cut & paste hell.

Who cares – because there…
