I love him<\/li>\n<li>Making an Excel spread sheet of chores. Nerdery = complete.<\/li>\n<li>anyone know where i could download a free copy of microsoft office with excel in it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>It&#8217;s Aggravating<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I hate when excel spreadsheets don&#8217;t add up. How is that even possible when the computer does the adding??<\/li>\n<li>Excel is 12+ versions old, yet it is still not possible to specify a delimiter when exporting to CSV, or quote all fields, or escape chars.<\/li>\n<li>Wishing Microsoft did some research before building Excel so I wouldn&#8217;t have to write a VB script everytime I need something done&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>I have an unending hatred of excel 2007. Perhaps the next time I reformat my computer I shall install excel 97 instead.<\/li>\n<li>Hmmmm, took 30 min to make a simple X-Y graph in Excel 2007. Who the hell removed the chart wizard?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>It&#8217;s Colourful<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I always give Canada the prettiest graph colour when making a chart in Excel.<\/li>\n<li>ugh one of my tweets is live twittering an MS Office Roadshow, it&#8217;s so painful to keep reading how awesome colouring is in Excel 2007<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>It&#8217;s Entertaining<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Deep in spreadsheet. Been yrs since I was an analyst, but some skills never die. Perhaps I go as EXCEL for Halloween.<\/li>\n<li>Watching the sox, just ate a lot of chocolate orange birthday cake, working on excel<\/li>\n<li>Trying to fix old spreadsheets at the bowling alley. My replacement did some ODD things with excel =(<\/li>\n<li>Uh, using Facebook. If I mention Twitter on Facebook now, will Excel pop up with a circular reference error message?<\/li>\n<li>i don&#8217;t even like AC\/DC (the band, that is), but putting your latest <a href=\"http:\/\/is.gd\/4FO4\">video in an excel file<\/a> is just cool<\/li>\n<li>Definitely forget Excel. And PowerPoint for that matter. Let&#8217;s go with interpretive dance and smoke signals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big excitement in Twitter this week is that AC\/DC released an ASCII art video that runs within Excel.
