What did you do for fun on the weekend? Solve recursion problems? Watch campy movies? Practise safe sorting? just solved a recursion problem in my Excel spreadsheet, to auto-count the number of times a cell has been edited. #excitingsaturdaynights Don’t you hate it when closing #Excel and it asks you if you want to save,…
Does your boss know how to use Excel? Or does your boss prefer a whiteboard and calculator? Been working on a massive spreadsheet for about 4 hours now…while on flu meds. Might need someone to look over this when I’m done. Once again managed to demostrate my abilities by showing big boss how to freeze…
What is your guilty secret? Do you find Excel spreadsheets aesthetically pleasing? What about spring themed spreadsheets? With a couple of key strokes a co-worker made everything on his spreadsheet disappear! He discovered the excel Dim Mak http://bit.ly/eK8HUx If only I knew how "ROUND", "SUM", "IF" "AND" and "ROW" made it work. And why my…
Lots of Excel charting problems in yesterday’s tweets. Maybe a day on the ski slopes would help! There aren’t many jobs where you have a spreadsheet that says things like ‘I made a unicorn’, and ‘Giraffes can’t dance’. #Ihaveastrangejob I have just discovered Pivot tables in Excel. This day is comparable to the day…
Some days you make rainbows in Excel, some days Excel makes you cry. And remember, you don’t have to count things on the screen with your finger. While pointing at charts in excel I dully explained "this is what daddy does all day at work." Mags excitedly affirmed "You make rainbows!" well my excel spreadsheet…
Sure, Excel can be slower than a 2-thumb BlackBerry tweet, but if you’re spending 4498748 hours on homework, there might be a problem! I just use a spreadsheet, personally I use open office but if you’re posh you might have Excel already? Perhaps someday I’ll be proficient enough with Oracle analytic functions that I won’t…
Today is Family Day, and people are spending time with their moms and Excel. Everything should go well, if they save frequently, and avoid pie charts. And I’ve used the first hour of my #Sunday laying out some sexy new #Excel spreadsheets for my #personalfinances. it’s nuts, doing some excel work on sunday. But I’m…
Six hours without Excel? Need to stay calm. How would you get through the day, without doing magical things in a spreadsheet? A pivot table is a heavyweight tool used to aggregate, summarize and join tabular data for people who can’t spell SQL. I like my new desk at work, now I can look out…
Have you ever been bored enough to start reading the Excel help files? Or do you resort to gin when the going gets tough? OH: I didn’t fall in love with you, I fell in love with your spreadsheet. Oh man, I’m getting old. Can’t read the small print on excel spreadsheet. 🙁 Implausibly and…
Yes, you can sort by colour in Excel now, but in exchange, the chart features are worse, and the macros are stupid. But life in Excel is never dull! Excel took away "I can’t sort on yellow" as a way to scold bad spreadsheet design. On the plus(?) side, I can sort by yellow cells….
Wow! That pie chart really is ugly. I wonder if they made anything that hideous in Lotus 1-2-3. Excel makes really pretty graphs. Seriously, the pie charts are breathtaking. God, I’m lame. Just been saved about an hours worth of work,YES EXCEL ROCKS…I didn’t think i’d ever say that!!!x Oh my GOD I hate excel….
There was a lot of love for Excel in yesterday’s Valentine tweets. And a few people who didn’t seem to love Excel too much. The rum raisin ice cream should help, or a spreadsheet full of cocktails. I’ll be listening to Michael Buble for the rest of the night… he’s my valentine.. him, my mac…
Happy Valentine’s Day! Some tweeters spent a romantic weekend with Excel, and others seem to be falling out of love with spreadsheets. Just created an excel function to calculate how many Diet Mt. Dew I drink based on how many hours I work that day. Beat that. I am a Pivot Table GOD! (and Prince…
Which would you rather find in your Excel spreadsheet? A rainbow or a burger? Of course, either of those would be better than that spinning beach ball! when in doubt create a spreadsheet with rainbows and glitter Dear Excel: how long until you turn off the spinning beach ball, and totally crash my work from…
After reading today’s Excel tweets, you’ll be able to talk to your professional pie charts in Hawaiian. Sorry, the Morse code translator isn’t ready yet. At work just now: *mumble mumble* "Pardon?" "Oh sorry, I was talking to this Excel chart" "Riiiiiight…" Can’t believe how much of an excel geek I am! If I could…
No one told me that if you just kept track of all the feedings, and other baby activities, in a spreadsheet, you could take the baby back, after one week. Oh well, it’s too late now! Predicament: I need help with a pivot table in excel, but I’m too proud to ask any of the…
Apparently, yesterday was Excel Tuesday, and people were celebrating with cake pops and wasabi peas. But the beer garden sounds even better! Phone rang. At this time of night, options are: death in the family or DH’s parents have a computer problem. MIL hopelessly lost in Excel. If I close my eyes hard enough, I’m…
Does Bach help with your spreadsheets? Maybe it soothes your head if you have a hangover, or no idea how to work Excel. the next two days are gonna be hell… I have absolutely NO idea how to work Excel Excel – how to create income and outcome pie chart? I’m at work, in a…
Do you use Sparklines in Excel 2010? You probably won’t need them if you’re using Excel to compare pizza dough recipes, but they might be useful if you’re playing God. geeking out over pivot tables in excel – now if only my data was clean 🙁 I love excel. The nice neat columns, the magical…
That’s an interesting question — how long would it take to learn all of Excel? Would belly dance music make the process faster or slower? I love when business dude types work on excel in the coffee shop with a big old note pad next to them. You can’t take notes on a computer. Problem…
Some people stayed home this week, because of the ice and snow. Others bravely (and bitterly) struggled through the elements, to get to their Excel spreadsheets. Spreadsheet and more spreadsheets…I don’t remember a world before #Excel. Just spent 10 minutes trying to change a date on my spreadsheet to 31st February 2011…. Was getting very…
That professor should not waste everyone’s time by teaching Excel formatting. Obviously, that time would be better spent on a spelling review, or MySQL. Stupid Excel! It’s going to take me one whole day to figure out how to create a pie chart with so much statistics! Congratulations! my professor just taught me how to…
Happy Groundhog Day! And no, this isn’t the same Excel Twitter list that I posted yesterday. But, even though I know what day it is, I still have trouble typing 2011. Glad to know that it’s not just me! whenever i have to make an excel i just want to email my boss and ask…
If you’re heading for the red carpet, you might want to use the Excel Weight Loss Tracker for a couple of weeks, so you’ll look your best. Meanwhile, I’ll be at home, messing around with the numbers. This song is dedicated to Access and Excel, "why do you have to make things so complicated!" Spent…
Apparently you need a flamenco dress, purple shoes and confetti to work with an Excel spreadsheet. With all those purchases required, no wonder some people want to enter their 16 digit credit card numbers. Dear #Excel – A 15 digit number limit is stupid when you have to work with credit cards… I LOVE MY…
Excel users are very versatile; in addition to creating spreadsheets, they can also do phone support, write love songs, calculate astrological compatibility of pets, and assemble glow-in-the-dark skeletons. Last 30 minutes: I have…fixed two computer login problems, given 2 reading recs, and taught 3 kids chart skills in Excel #WhatLibrariansDo I could write a love…
Working with Excel can be dangerous. You could die, or fall off your chair, or have your tweets taken over by a robot. The temperature fluctuates wildly too, due to freeze panes and living hell. Be careful out there! the fact that you knew about Excel Pivot tables immediately disqualifies you from calling yourself a…
There were lots of tweets yesterday about a TV show that featured a tea party and some Excel charts. I don’t go to many tea parties, but they might be more fun if everyone brought their Excel files. I hate it when people mess with fonts in a spreadsheet. Comic Sans has no place in…
No matter how bad things get in Excel, remember to keep calm and carry on. Maybe some club music, or a few minutes in the freezing outdoors, would relax you. Made a lot of stupid Excel mistakes last night… They were all blindingly obvious after a full nights sleep. Damn it! Excel just crashed. Lost…
Yesterday was the start of a new week, and some people weren’t thrilled to be back in the office, making Excel pivot tables and charts. Maybe that’s why they have meetings at a burger joint instead. It’s Monday so it must be time for the spreadsheet of doom and the phone call of stupidity. Follwed…
Remember kids — don’t talk to strangers, even if they offer you a tempting Excel form. And don’t overdo the pivot tables — that could fry your brain, or cause double rainbow meltdowns. It’s a scary world! You should give it a shot. I don’t use Excel for anything complicated, just to placate my OCD…
That tweeter is crazy! The new ASUS Slate looks awesome, especially when you see Excel on it. It might be tempting, if I had an extra bag of money lying around the office. All in all we’re just another part of a cell in an excel spreadsheet wall I’ve spent my entire morning making a…
Is it easier to talk to the animals, or to Excel? Today Hangman, tomorrow a multi-user lobby system and 2 player battleships. I <3 @Office #Excel VBA dev. Rmbr: in PR/Mrkting you are only as effective as your contact spreadsheet. By they way, you know you can use the REPT() function in Excel to create…
If you don’t know the difference between a pivot table and an Excel table, just read the article. Don’t let your frustration lead to regrettable acts, like cheating on Excel, or insulting your co-workers. Wish I was an Excel genius. I could open a file and do some work then. I don’t know if my…

If you’re preparing for an Excel exam, the first thing you should learn is how to spell Excel. You can focus on Valentine’s Day dinners, and steam punk pivot tables, later. note to self: never assume that excel will know what you want it to do…idiot. I really fancy trying to make a semi automatic…
