You know you are an Excel guru when ....

[DonkeyOte]

your IT department say (literally)

"thank f~@k we've finally got someone who understands VBA"

You think

"why the f@~k am I working here? I want to be a consultant!"

You think

"everything is possible"

They think

"give him the data, he'll do it - he LIKES doing it - loser!"

You think

"if objects aren't involved, it's not a challenge!"

Two years ago, I couldn't even spell Xcell Gooroo. Now I are one.

A peer you worked with 5 years before, now a CFO calls you out of the blue. You're thinking "He's going to offer me a job.", but then he asks "If you have multiple spreadsheets you need to consolidate......"

This shows how bad the lot I work for are if I am thought of as an Excel guru, but:

When your boss doesn't want you to use Excel too much because if you aren't there nobody else can pick up your work (even when it's automated )

So true...so true... Especially the automated part.

You have run out of Alphabet keys to assign macros to...

people who work in Excel every day look at your menu and toolbar setup and ask "What program is this?"

You can start your CD Player, your coffee maker, your shower, and your car with a VBA macro: ON_WAKEUP Sub()...

You spend 30 minutes writing a macro to do something that would take you 10 seconds to do by hand.

Hi David, welcome to the board.

I recognize some of your remarks...

You call the menu a `spread'sheet.

You are put in charge of Admin, as you write xllent Procedures.

You are designated VP-`Cells'
