Excel helps out in the Barbie Bungee Lab, which is not to be confused with MATLAB. Also, there's some debate over the use of the mouse, but everyone agrees that pivot tables are life changing.
Only a couple of links this week, and if you plan to do the land based exercises, please consult your physician first. However, it might be safer to sit and watch the cute guys at the gym.
Circle of Strife
- Dear Excel, please stop asking me to install speech recognition – I do not want my speech to be recognised, nor slow my PC further. Thanks.
- When I turn the volume up or down on my new laptop, Excel opens........Why do I always have strange computer problems?
- This morning, I kicked Excel's butt. This afternoon, it's kicking mine. It's the Circle of Strife!
- My favorite Greek tragedy is the one where the heroine clicks "no" to "save changes" when closing the excel spreadsheet.
Doing It Wrong
- I discovered this morning that the back/forward buttons on my mouse will flip through my sheets in Excel. This makes me very happy
- Excel keeps freaking me out! I am accidentally pushing ALT 2 and it makes a scary face!
- If you use Microsoft excel and use the mouse. You're doing it wrong.
Chart Masters
- I really have a greater skill set than this Excel chart requires...
- Discovering the "User defined chart types" functionality in Excel has changed my life.
- Today we used Excel to graph our data from the Barbie Bungee Lab. Tomorrow we will be dropping Barbie. Hopefully things go well for her!
- Just became a master of excel charts. Then accidentally deleted everything I had just done. Could be bummed, but masters can make them again
A Matter of Taste
- Dear PowerPoint: when I import a red/green/purple pie chart from Excel it is highly unlikely that I wish it to be changed to aqua/teal/grey.
- http://twitpic.com/f8qvm – hey, everyone – stop making excel files that look like this **vomits**
- MS excel rule no.1 everything looks better in 8pt font, rule no.2 don't hesitate to shade cells in pastel colours, thank me later
Beyond Pivots
- What? No pivot tables? Ya can't do research without at least one pivot table... ;)
- i just learned how to use pivot table. i think it may have changed my life.
- Create like a god.Command like a king.Work like a slave -currently working on the 1st part. creating pivot table reports. does that count?
- eg next generation of marketing folk, growing up with Google Analytics, are bypassing Excel...they expect an environment beyond pivots
Evolution Through Excel
- I'm in shock. I've written some intelligent sounding stuff. Now I just have to fiddle around in Photoshop & Excel/MatLab to prove it all
- Never thought I'd be able to understand another person's excel sheet, but I did it. I evolved! Hmm, sounds quite sad, evolution thru excel.
Water and Wine
- Have spent my lunch break writing my own enigma machine in Excel. Works as well. Come to the conclusion that I might be a massive geek.
- making an Excel sheet about my experience in Scotch Whisky. Maybe someday I'll start the same thing for wines
- I'm taking a poll: Is it sad that I make an excel spreadsheet of my fall television line up so I never miss a thing?

- Finally getting around to learning visual basic for excel – lots of data to compile if your want to save the world.
- Cute guys have been at the gym and i am still sitting here doing VBA coding?!?!
Rocket Science
- i sit next to someone who does just that. it's like a sort of magical cookery which ends in a steaming excel spreadsheet
- Here they wear flip flops and think Excel is Rocket Science.
- least favorite task @ workplace: making stupid buttons so people can get their data in an excel spreadsheet. grrhhh.
