A Spreadsheet walks in to a bar … [open mic]
Humor - 52 comments
Lets have some fun this Friday.
Post your favorite Spreadsheet jokes using comments. Have a big smile.
I will start:
1. A pivot table walks in to a bar and orders a beer. It says, “Put me in the same tab, will ya?”
2. A slicer and pivot chart walk in to a bar. The bartender says, “look at those bast*rds, walking around with out a pivot!”.
3. Once Excel, Access and Windows were bragging to each other. Excel says, “I once crashed so hard, it took 5 minutes to recover”. Access says, “Oh thats nothing. I once crashed and took down an entire database. It took them 30 minutes to recover”. Windows doesn’t say anything. Excel pokes him in the arm asks “what about you?”, Windows jolts & replies, “Sorry, what did you say? I just crashed again.”
Now, your turn…

A bright red cell turns to its solid white companion and asks, "Is it hot in here, or is it just my conditional formatting?"
True Story that started as a Joke and ended like 700 club story: i joined a firm three weeks ago and got an old PC with Office 97. After two weeks i got a brand new Intel i5 with Windows 7 and Office 2010 and said this PC is a body of Jesus. Touch and be saved.
Actually it did happen during the last month. Excel 97 crashed like it was Y2K party in some Soviet Nuclear reactor with drunken bears. I downloaded Libre Office Portable and prayed to foreign gods of Linux.
An analyst walks into a bar chart... ouch?
Nice one Jordan!
when someone give me an answer that doesn't answer my question, I respond with: That was a MicroSoft answer: technically precise and of absolutely no value.
Once Excel, Access and Windows were bragging to each other. Excel says, “I once crashed so hard, it took 5 minutes to recover”. Access says, “Oh thats nothing. I once crashed and took down an entire database. It took them 30 minutes to recover”. Windows doesn’t say anything. Excel pokes him in the arm asks “what about you?”, Windows replies, “Sorry, I caused the Crash.”
Jesus and the devil are up against one another in a spreadsheet contest. They aim to create a fully functional dashboard within 30 minutes.
28 minutes into the challenge, there's a power outage and their desktops crash.
Power is restored, the devil scrambles to at least come up with a bar chart; Jesus on the other hand has an awesome dynamic dashboard with all bells and whistles.
Moral of the story? Jesus always Saves!
And now true story in Excel 2010, two days ago: merge a few cells, format cell to Wrap text, click in the formula bar after entering some text, scroll down and click again to add text. Excel crashed on me every single time for 10-12 times in a row (closed instantly with no warning message). Took me a while to realize the sequence that was causing the crash and replicated it a dozen times more just to convince myself I wasn't dreaming.
An in cell chart was curious about his ancestry so he decided to take a deeper look within himself to see what he was made up of. After retracing the links in his background, he found that he is made up of a bunch of REPT’d, sideways “|”’s who seem to be able to only LOOKUP in one direction because they can’t CHOOSE to follow their own path!
LoL, totally agree Nick!
I got one more.
A probability distribution curve walks in to a bar. The bartender says, "Wow, Are you happy to see me or you are just normal?"
Nice! I'm going to steal the punchline behind your joke, if you don't mind.
An analyst says to a bartender: "I like my woman like I like my probabilities - normally distributed." hyuck hyuck
I'd thought you'd prefer it in a simple bimodal distribution of two peaks

Fantastic, I had never thought about making jokes of Excel....!!!!
Q ? If rows were to be taken for longitude and columns as latitude, where would its equator be ?...
......
Halfway down?
You're obviously someone who resides at the North or South Pole and doesn't care which way longitude and lattitude are oriented. Rows should be LATTITUDE and Columns should be LONGITUDE. Or just rotate your spreadsheet 90 degrees!
Ongoing fight in a plane:
Excel : We are so simple and "excel"lent at the same timel.

I don't get it, why would a spreadsheet walk into a bar when it could just hyperlink?

A workbook walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Sorry, I can't serve you. You're already three sheets to the wind."
There is probably a better joke using the same idea, but here is what I came up with
An accountant was looking at the bank statement of his joint account, and got angry at the amount his wife was spending.
"You are wasting too much money." He said, "you spent £40 on a dress on Monday, £60 on shoes on Tuesday, and £35 on having your hair done on Wednesday. It's too much money, you have to stop. That is the equivalent of £45 a day!"
She replied "That's mean!"
=VD1+SEX1=NO1
TRUE
DAD1+MOM1=YOU1
TRUE
JIM1+BOB1+SEX1=GAY1
TRUE
=ISLOGICAL(LO:VE) --> FALSE
true?

A housewife, an accountant and a lawyer were asked "How much is 2+2?"
The housewife replies: "Four!".
The accountant says: "I think it's either 3 or 4. Let me run those figures through my spreadsheet one more time."
The lawyer pulls the drapes, dims the lights and asks in a hushed voice, "How much do you want it to be?"
I think you'll find that the answer in excel is either 4.00000000001 or 3.9999999999
got to love flaoting point calcs
My friend came up with this clever line: "Excel jokes are too formulaic."
