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

Mine maybe similar to what Beth said earlier so I'll have to follow up on her reference. I did my own Excel workbook to track my running. Each sheet covers a year to log the number of days and miles run. I have from 2000 through 2006 currently so I can review charts on days, or miles, or avg/miles per day. Separate sheets track race results, 5K, avg mile pace per race, etc. Not terribly geeking but effective. » POSTED IN:
