October 17 is Spreadsheet Day!
Welcome to my channel, where we celebrate all things Excel and spreadsheets! Today is a special day, as we honor the invention of the spreadsheet on Spreadsheet Day. As we raise our glasses to toast this incredible tool, let’s not forget to also raise a glass to the advancements in technology that have made our lives easier and more efficient.
As we reflect on the evolution of spreadsheets, let’s also take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication of those who have contributed to its development. From the early days of the typewriter to the powerful features of Excel, it’s truly amazing to see how far we’ve come in just one lifetime. And as we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with spreadsheets, the future looks even brighter.
But as we celebrate tonight, let’s remember to not overindulge in Power Pivotinis. We don’t want to end up with Max Gail’s character, Wojo, down at the 12th Precinct. So, let’s raise our glasses in moderation and toast to the incredible tool that has revolutionized the way we organize and analyze data. Happy Spreadsheet Day, everyone! Cheers to Excel and all the possibilities it holds.

(00:20) Warning against Power Pivotinis
My dad’s favorite actor, Max Gail, who played Det. Stan “Wojo” Wojciehowicz for eight seasons on Barney Miller reflects on how far Excel has come in one lifetime.
Also – if you are going out to celebrate tonight, take it easy on the Powerpivotini’s or you might end up down at the 12th Precinct!
Recipe for Power Pivotini from Szilvia Juhasz, aka XSzil:
1.5 oz Navy-strength gin
0.5 oz lime juice
0.5 oz honey
0.5 oz elderflower liqueur
1 egg white
garnish with 2-4 drops Angostura Bitters
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Dry shake for 10 seconds to emulsify the egg white. Add ice and shake for an additional 30 seconds. Strain into a coupe glass. Carefully tap bottle of Angostura bitters on top, allowing drops to form a PowerPivot-worthy design.
