Open Thread: How are you using Excel?
Merlin Mann | Aug 22 2006
Yesterday, I mentioned I'd been talking with someone who's looking at interesting things people are doing with Microsoft Excel. I talked to her again yesterday, and with her official okey-dokey, I'll virtually introduce Tralee Pearce (*waves*), a reporter from Toronto's Globe & Mail whom you might remember from a very swell article about the Hipster PDA. So, by request -- and to help Tralee with fleshing out her fun-sounding article -- I hope you all will jump in here: What kind of cool, novel, and non-obvious stuff are you doing with Excel? What's the wildest, most obsessive, most nerdy thing you ever saw someone do with our favorite spreadsheet program? 119 Comments

This is probably the least exciting but most romantic entry - we used Excel to plan out our wedding. Even 11 years ago, they were big affairs with little budgets, and it took a lot of comparison shopping to figure out how much of each part of the event we could afford to buy (flowers, reception hall, food, music, etc...). I've used it on and off to manage my budget, but it never ever works in the long run. » POSTED IN:
