  • Pass the “Excel” Parcel…

    I was wondering how Manish, my MIS guru would feel in the situation I was in for a lot of my time today… When Manish used to work on Excel, he would never EVER use the mouse.. he would remember all the shortcuts… and we could hear his keyboard keys clicking in perfect harmony for most of the day…. and I would never feel any less amazed at how and what he would do to make excel work like magic…

    I owe a lot of my excel skills to him… and I see him getting a lot of accolades with his amazing data analysis skills… I learnt how powerful a tool is EXCEL…

    and today… I was doing a Knowledge Transfer to someone who has spent a good 7 years in the industry… and had no clue, absolutely no clue to how excel works… even the smallest of things like selecting cells and copying and pasting information… phew… and I was to pass on my Pivot and Data generation skill on that 10MB, 15000 row excel sheet to the person… I struggled with filters, cell selection, moving around in different worksheets on the same file and what not !!! I could not believe I was in that situation…

    A true test of patience it was today… and I know its not yet over… there is more to come, because I have a feeling that as soon as I leave the supervision part, the data is going to be messed up !!!

    Phew… Uncle God… you listening right? This is critical… I have worked hard on that data and brought it to look like information… cannot afford to lose it…

    anyway… back to Excel… and sea of cells…

    Ta Tu…

    One of my very very good friends, and one of the best humans that I know on this planet lost his father this sunday… and it made my heart cry :'(

    I don’t know what to say or what to do… I just hope that Uncle God gives him and his family a lot of strength…

    How I wish, I was next to you right now brother… I am sorry that I am not… I am sorry :'(

    What a way to start a day… BLOGTHINGS…

    Got in my RSS reader a link to find out what my name means 🙂 And I did…

    here is what comes up… Most of it is bang on… some I would like to believe… and a few.. umm.. not too sure of…

    “You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people.
    Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people’s problems.
    Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest.

    You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something.
    You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense.
    You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

    You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
    You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
    You have the classic “Type A” personality.

    You are the total package – suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
    You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
    You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do.

    You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.
    Success comes rather easily for you… especially in business and academia.
    Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You’re a strong person.

    You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
    You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
    You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

    You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless – and you have a lot of questions about life.
    You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You’re most comfortable when you’re far away from home.
    You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

    You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous.
    You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things.
    Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times.

    You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.
    You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace.
    People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality.

    You are very charming… dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts.
    You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it.
    You have the power to rule the world. Let’s hope you’re a benevolent dictator!

    You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
    You never give up, and you will succeed… even if it takes you a hundred tries.
    You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.“
