“so your company spent millions on an ERP system but you still do all the calculations in excel?”
@ExcelHumor Yes and I’m done pretending Excel isn’t great
@ExcelHumor Excel is probably the most powerful data tool ever created, but C-Suite Clichés don't like using it because it's not "sexy"
@ExcelHumor memes.xlsx. Respect. You forgot though that said ERP will allow you to export the database to excel. For an extra fee.
@ExcelHumor excel is the cockroach of software. ugly, disgusting, anachronistic, and it will out-survive humanity until the heat death of the universe.
@ExcelHumor I joined a company that said they're in the process of using ERP and bragging that the accounting system will be polished and smooth ... that like 4 months ago, I'm literally using excel to calculate the freaking Forex loss and gains..
@ExcelHumor "Yes, and I'm the only one who can get XLOOKUP right, and SORT(FILTER...correct."
@ExcelHumor We have SAP and half of its functionality is like some vast underground empire whose front door someone lost the key two
@ExcelHumor Months at JD Edwards training on green screens and the only thing I wanted to know was how to export to Excel.
@ExcelHumor Broooooo, this sums up my career right now
@ExcelHumor The best thing is using excelente to make sure the ERP is trustworthy
@ExcelHumor Does this still happen???? Spent years on a commodities trading desk and felt the same way.... but back in like 2010.
@ExcelHumor Excel's flexibility and fallibility is great. Liked by novice to nerds. You get things right, take credit. If wrong, blame Excel.
@ExcelHumor cuz excel is habit 💯🤣
@ExcelHumor But but Excel is an ERP right? Right???
@ExcelHumor People be making fun of this but really shows if you are doing anything in data services it's tough as hell to beat excel.
@ExcelHumor Absolutely agree! It's interesting to see how different ERP systems can vary in their capabilities, but this is definitely not the case with NetSuite ERP. 😊 #NetSuite #ERP
@ExcelHumor And Excel costs so much less — like the underpaid employee doing all the heavy lifting while the guy with the big title listens to music all day.
@ExcelHumor Big iron Unix and PC based Linux admin. No idea what an ERP is, nor what I would do with Excel.
