I&#8217;m creating a big spreadsheet of required features for a piece of software that NOBODY WANTS. <\/li>\n<li>This spreadsheet is too white. I want to put some colour in it, but there would be no reason for the colours&#8230; and that would annoy me. <\/li>\n<li>I hate pivot tables. There&#8217;s a reason why when choosing my career I chose one that involved minimal math and excel. <\/li>\n<li>Come on Nyquil, work your magic. Mama needs to be better by 9am for pivot table &amp; customizing financials class. <\/li>\n<li>Jerk on train with laptop seems to think hitting the Enter key with extra force will make the Excel formula work better. #PicnicError <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>___________<\/p>\n<p>Related Links:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Excel Data Entry Tips\" href=\"http:\/\/www.contextures.com\/xlDataEntry01.html\">Excel Data Entry Tips<\/a> <\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Excel Pivot Table Tutorials\" href=\"http:\/\/www.contextures.com\/tiptech.html#PivotTables\">Excel Pivot Table Tutorials<\/a> <\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Contextures Excel Tips and Tutorials\" href=\"http:\/\/www.contextures.com\/tiptech.html\">Contextures Excel Tips and Tutorials<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>______________ <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a long weekend here in Canada, and the unofficial start of summer.
