Ode To Excel
A finer spreadsheet, there never was
Your rows; yours columns; your formulas
Your data validation limits my input
And your auditing toolbar serves, when there’s errors afoot
At pivoting data, you have no equal
And your Find command always helps me to seek well
Styles are the best when I want to format
Autocorrect rescues me when my fingers are fat
There is but one thing that would send me to heaven
If only I could type in column 257
Graham:
How about some haiku, Dick?

Hey Dick- love the color green that I saw yesterday- This blue makes me feel washed out! Anyway this site seems really helpful and user friendly- I just don’t have any idea as to what you are talking about. bene

Thanks Bene. I liked the green too, but I see green everyday at work and I’m quite sick of it. Maybe I’ll try Texas Longhorn Orange.

What would truly send me to heaven,

But to what sort of lengths would you go:

Ah, the color with no rhyme.

Dick, you went first, you have only yourself to blame.
Ode To Excel Redux
When last I looked Excel had crashed
It’s hourglass cursor spinning
What had I done, is all lost
