In a land far, far away (or not so far if you’re from the state of Washington), back in the early 1980s, the Microsoft Corporation had a dream of building a spreadsheet system that would create horrible worldwide suffering and inspire many amusing memes. That’s right, today we’re talking about Microsoft Excel, your go-to green spreadsheet program. Scroll down to see the funniest Excel memes and don’t forget to show your distaste for Excel in the comment section below!
#1 (February) and #6 (North Carolina) do not occur in my Excel 365 and Excel 2003. Bu then I am in a different country and different locale.
#9 (12.5) happens if you use comma as the decimal point, so it shouldn’t occur in English Excel.
It’s because they spelled February wrong
The two users who commented before me are Excel-infected beyond hope.
Torth Carolina is beautiful this time of the year.
I prefer Dorth, the beaches are nicer.
Oh how I often I format some cells to text because I can’t even anymore.
Setup: I spent three days building a spreadsheet that took an entire ChatGPT output and converted it to an email contact list.
Punchline: Then someone explained to me that ChatGPT isn’t actually connected to the web, and contact information is fictitious.
Plot-twist: I had already sent the email, and only about 75% of them bounced.
No, lets go to Sorth Carolina
So nice to finally get this humour. Or is it…?
I’ve never reshared so much content before. Hilarious.
@Umm – actually they had 3-letter abbreviations for all the months originally (Jan, Feb, Mar) and then added the “uary” to Jan, and dragged it down expecting Excel to understand that they wanted the full names for all the months, but Excel just added “uary” to the three letters. Hence Febuary.
This is so awesome. Thank you to whomever compiled it. I am so sharing this with everyone I know. :)
Justin Miller esq knows my pain.
I was excited to share this with someone who could relate and discovered that the number of people on that list is exactly the same as the number of people who have appreciated my stupid spreadsheet tricks over the years. If this were in spreadsheet form, the conditional formatting would highlight this value in red as it does for any value =<0.
I personally like Forth Carolina not the best
So funny! But inside I feel a little hopeless because I can relate.
transcendence: when you write code in C# that generates Excel spreadsheets
