Do you have any Excel OCD habits?

Don't keep us in suspense - did the phones work at midnight?

Or did you perhaps forget to check?

Haha, well the night was black and cold, the party rolled on toward midnight. Light from the moon boucing off the snow. Tensions mounted as the minutes expired, would this be the end of the world?
11:59:02, 2009... I dialed my buddy... Ring Ring Ring.
11:59:55, 1999; "hello? hello?"
12:00:00, 2000 "SquUUuu-AAA-akkkKKkkk

12:00:15, 2000; "Dude back up, I'm getting some wicked feedback and pass the chips."

"Haha, that is cool feedback let's try that again"

And as they say the rest is history.

By the way, forgetting the leap back in time, 53 seconds to answer the call?

Was this crucial piece of scientific experimentation being conducted under stringent protocols in a clean environment with no outside influence?

Haha.
Getting a shovel to help me dig this hole a bit faster. LOL

But it might not have been 53 seconds but often felt that long the technology was "new", and often took a long time to connect. I remember testing it once where it took 20+ seconds before the other handset rang...
Actually if I remember correctly we used the "walkie-talkie" feature of the phone to make the feedback sound.
I think my buddy was relieved, as he had sent many^10 hours preparing for that night/day.

Getting back to digging now.

I never start a page in cell A1!

All my sheets have row1 and column a blank (at least until I finish the sheet!) I like the empty border around the work area!

 

[cornflakegirl]

I hate it when sheets have blank columns at the left or blank rows at the top for no reason

 

[squiggler47]

You'll like mine then! I put them there for a reason, I like them there!

(although I often delete them at the end If I havent created tables on the sheet!)

People who insist on selecting the whole worksheet before they do a sort or apply a filter!!!

Worse than that it when people leave out a couple of column headers so quick sort only sorts half the data.
