Arrghhhh<\/li>\n<li>Alright &#8230; it took 4 days and about 50 hours of work, but this stupid Excel sheet is finally done! Could have done it in .NET within 3 hrs.<\/li>\n<li>When I close my eyes it&#8217;s like the &quot;Flight of the Bumblebee&quot; sequence from Fantasia, only Excel spreadsheet cells instead of piano keys. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Chart Problems<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>scours the net looking for any info on how to fix Excel 2007 so that it doesn&#8217;t forget that a given workbook has names for its chart sheets.<\/li>\n<li>Injury: 20+ tabs of carefully named excel graphs inexplicably renamed chart 1, chart 2, etc. Insult: Excel help asks me to be facebook fan.<\/li>\n<li>Bar charts that don&#8217;t start at 0 often have a wiggly line on the y-axis. What&#8217;s that called\/how do I get one on MS Excel? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Insanity By Excel<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I talk to myself when I&#8217;m doing analysis in Excel.

Why are we still calling them workbooks? Who does spreadsheets on paper? What spreads? Acoustic guitar.<\/li>\n<li>Is &quot;insanity by Excel&quot; a reasonable alibi? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Top Formulas<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I think the subtotal() function in Excel has to be one of the top formulas. Essential for any calculated filtered content.<\/li>\n<li>I love it when you input a circular reference in Excel. It totally freaks out.<\/li>\n<li>autofilters and the subtotal funtion &#8211; I am in Excel heaven<\/li>\n<li>Is it wrong to use Excel&#8217;s randbetween(1,9) function for the table arrangements at our wedding?! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>So Much Order<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>i know i&#8217;m a dork, but i love working in Excel. \ud83d\ude42 All the rows &amp; columns &amp; formulas. So much order. Ahhhh<\/li>\n<li>Proud of nerd auditor accomplishment: managed to compress a 10799 line excel workbook into 726 lines \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n<li>halfway through!! miracle.

I learn fast.<\/li>\n<li>You know you&#8217;re a hopeless nerd when you set up an Excel spreadsheet with weightings and conditional formatting to help you buy a car. <\/li>\n<li>My wife just told me that my kids are using the toyrus website to build an excel spreadsheet for their christmas lists. Loving my geek kids. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Analyze It Intently<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Just asked someone to export her works table as excel. She made an image of it and stuck it on a spreadsheet.
