Google tells me that RDR is Red Dead Redemption, a video game. Who knew that video games had soundtracks? You know what would be a great ebook format? Something that looks like a hideously tedious Excel spreadsheet. #ifitlookslikework… thank god for microsoft excel. how else would i do my pie charts ? Toggling between a…

Lots of Excel related tweets from TechEd — most are enthusiastic about PowerPivot in Excel 2010. Just seen an excel pivot table used for real, you do not see that kind of thing everyday! excel won’t work, looks like a detention for me :/ Thank you random Excel glitch for making me look like an…

How about champagne and pivot tables without Justin Timberlake? That World Cup calendar Excel spreadsheet is way sexier than him! Much better World Cup calendar is this decidedly un-sexy Excel spreadsheet http://hinx.quarkphysics.ca/ Oops, Google, you can’t replace my desktop spreadsheet app yet … http://twitpic.com/1tla2h I have an Excel workbook ‘to do’ list… multiple spreadsheets for…

Making a Venn diagram out of a spreadsheet sounds like quite a challenge. Maybe some origami is required. Excel hangover..seeing all things as rows and columns.Need to Ctrl F my bearings now. Perhaps it was Excel’s function naming that ruined my week yesterday 🙂 Making an awesome Excel spreadsheet at work. Its not C++ but…

If a spreadsheet doesn’t make you laugh, maybe the sight of a squirrel trying to learn Excel would amuse you. If all else fails, a colour-coded worksheet should do the trick! Just tried to paste an Excel Chart into Facebook. What’s wrong with me? Really? A spreadsheet isn’t a database? Dang it. Now I’m going…

Some funny Excel tweets, a sad tweet about the end of the Microsoft newsgroups, and a June 1st holiday that was news to me! The tweet that mentions Excel in context with tweets gets bonus points. I just found a formula in an Excel spreadsheet that would take me three full tweets to post. Also…

There weren’t too many Excel tweets on Monday, probably due to the holidays in the USA and UK. Some interesting uses for spreadsheets though! I get all excited at the end of the month because I get to fill out our financial spreadsheet. No, seriously, it’s like a game! I swear, if I have to…

Hope you’re enjoying the long weekend, and some time away from those Excel spreadsheets! 4 hrs on excel. 7 pivot table attempts. 11 graph attempts. 2 Excel crashes. 0 successful spreadsheets. lost data & swearing = lots. #fail IS it odd that I have to keep a spreadsheet for all of my login/passwords? A program…

It’s the start of a holiday weekend in the USA and UK, but no mention of that in the Excel tweets. Gaming, golf and cricket are holiday activities though, so that’s close enough. does anybody really (any adult) use excel nowadays?! cannot handle 2-3 million numbers! I’m on the eL and these people are fighting…

It’s a safe bet any day that you’re not the only one pulling out your hair due to Excel problems. Maybe a little Red Bull would help. Or some Excel gum. My brain is not really excel compatible. Red Bull + MS Excel + MS Word = Owned Nothing like a 4am board call to…

Tuesday was a slow day for Excel tweets, so there’s only a short list for you to read today. Maybe it was the heat! Or maybe everyone was at that Excel bashing session, and too busy to tweet. I’ve discovered two things this morning 1. I can’t work Excel 2. I can’t count properly I’ve…

Apparently there was a tv series called Lost, that ended on Sunday, and even the Excel tweets mentioned it, so it must have been important! Download the new Simulator says the ad, "Monte Carlo Simulation", I like F1, I’m interested! "…in Excel" Wait, what? I have a date tonight with a spreadsheet. I wish I…

It’s a long weekend here in Canada, and the unofficial start of summer. No mention of that in the Excel tweets, but 2-year-olds are learning about spreadsheets, so that’s something to celebrate! I just made a rocking pivot table in Excel. With adult supervision, of course, as it was my first time. Totally geeked out/psyched…

Growling, ranting and swearing loudly. Sounds like yesterday’s tweeters could use some wine from that 98-page list. And if Excel is the second most likely thing, I wonder what’s in first place. A morning of Excel VB macro writing. Don ‘t know what I’m doing, but my code seems to be working. Buya! thinks she…

I’ll bet there are lots of people who got the hang of Excel many years before they started using email, not just that tweeter’s mom. for some reason it takes 72 seconds to open microsoft excel on my work computer. My mum got the hang of Excel 10+ years before she grasped the benefit of…

Worker bees, weaselese, Shakespeare and prog-rock groups — whatever it takes to get you through a long work day that’s filled with Excel. Are you really working, or are you just playing on Facebook and covering it with a spreadsheet when the suits come Microsoft Excel makes pretty graphs and charts …it’s like dress up…

What does a professional Excel user look like? I probably don’t look like one either. But I liked the tweet that taught me the new Excel expression of the day — "went Pete Tong". Thanks to Wikipedia, I now know what that means. this spreadsheet has become nothing but a mess of letters and numbers….

Music and magic and balding Excel icons — looks like it was a fun weekend in Twitterville. And if you’re not Canadian, you might not know what a Timbit is — besides being the perfect companion for Excel work. Love it when my 80 year old grandpa calls with questions about writing formulas in Excel….

Now that Mother’s Day is over, tweeters are once again complaining about helping their moms with Excel. Ingrates! And even the Excel tweets have the occasional mention of non-nerdy topics, like the Cannes Film Festival. We’re so cool! Just made an Excel spreadsheet to compute final grades… that’s more than I’ve done for my actual…

Turducken! I’ve never eaten it, but it sounds impressive, and I love the comparison to file format stuffing. I guess the Excel version described in today’s tweet would be a PortPowerCel. Dear auto-fill handle thingie in Excel: I love you. I love when MS Excel "Help" feature actually helps me do what I want! Happy…

Today’s lesson from the Excel related tweets — don’t let your boss or your cat near your Excel files. So – who’s going to send around one of those World Cup Excel sheets where you can fill in the results? Come on! I thought my excel instructions just said ‘At this point don’t forget to…

No one tweeted about working with Excel in a car, otherwise I could call this post Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. wish my job was exciting, i got to change the font my excel spreadsheet last week, RAVE! I am watching a coworker calculate the avg and std dev of a bunch of measurements she typed…

As usual, people were working hard in Excel on the weekend, and complaining about it in Twitter. But no matter how bad things get in Excel, I’ve never wanted to trade places with a cat! A pub in Galway sounds nice though (aren’t all the pubs in Galway Irish?) How much time do you work,…

I’ve been haunted by an Excel spreadsheet, but never hunted. That sounds scarier than standing at the edge of an abyss. And things were scary in the UK too, where voters anxiously awaited the election results. Lots of spreadsheets were used in tracking the results, and my favourite is the list of accountants. How appropriate…

All my Excel success is due to my great skill, not lucky guesses. How about you? Is it normal to use a pivot table to analize your cell phone bill/plan?? I’ve spent the whole day trying to get this stupid logic to work. No idea why Excel thinks that "14 hrs" is < "2 hrs"……

I wouldn’t mind getting the occasional empty Excel file, and it would certainly be better than a Crashy McCrashter one. And I’ve used Excel on much less than 5 hours sleep! How about you? It looks like a spreadsheet bomb went off in my office. Or, maybe the aftermath of a rock festival attended only…

Which came first, the Excel, the Tylenol or the red wine? If you’ve gone spreadsheet crazy, the order probably doesn’t matter. Son is not techie at all but he wanted to learn to use a spreadsheet to track his golf scores, so he had his lesson on Excel! If your legacy is a formatted Excel…

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, someone makes a goat health spreadsheet. Just as a note, "the excel keeps doing stupid things" isn’t what I was looking for when I asked for more details. Excel Map Project:  This trimester students are working on a cumulative assignment that I call the “Excel Map”.  … http://bit.ly/bnCiMt…

You need a sense of humour to use Excel, but I didn’t know there was a humour proficiency test. Hope I can pass! Finally home from work. No more excel spreadsheets, formulas or idiots for one whole week!!!! I’ve only just fixed his excel and he’s gone and done something to it again. Rubbish. I…

It’s May Day! As in the first day of May celebration, not "Send help! My Excel worksheet has hit an iceberg!" But now that Excel has a Ribbon, it’s better suited to those maypole dances. If I’m going to build an Excel spreadsheet, I’m going to use pretty pastel colours. So there. Excel can’t open…

Things in today’s Excel tweets that I had to Google — "Ruth Evershed" and "bag of Minstrels". And that’s one of the reasons that I enjoy posting these collections. Finish the analogy! …teaching 1st graders how to create an Excel spreadsheet is as difficult as….: Ack. I hate Excel. Any thoughts on how to take…

It’s a bit early for Christmas lists, but a robot that can use Excel sounds like a good idea. My robot only does the vacuuming, so maybe it’s time for a new model. Going crazy and need vacation. Spent 5 minutes trying to figure out why a number in my spreadsheet was negative…it was dust…

What percentage of Excel users think that functions are "just useless additions"? Shockingly high, I’ll bet. Just finished a 41 column by 263 line Excel spreadsheet. My eyes are glazed and I can’t feel my fingers anymore. And it’s only 10am!!! maybe it’s because I’m in art school, but I found the process of making…

Not sure who Matt is, but I hope he tweets when that new Excel command is ready. I could use one of those. i remember when i used to love excel spreadsheets. now i feel a burning hatred whenever a new one is created. thanks, work. I’m still in work hell this week, but one…

Why is a legislature like an Excel spreadsheet? They can both become corrupted. Well, that’s my guess, maybe you have a better joke. The switch to Office 2007 has gone pretty well. Except now I need to make charts in Excel. I’m smart, I can figure this out…right…? Leave it to an MBA student to…

Pimms? I had to Google that, and it seems like a good choice for a long Excel session. Oh, the things you learn in Twitter on a Friday afternoon! There is one right way to use charts in Excel. There are a bazillion wrong ways to use charts in Excel. Status: excel-hang, groove-hang, fb-not hang!…
