I think you have to change a setting for this to work. Goto the Tools>Options dialog box. Then, goto the General tab. Then CHECK the "R1C1 reference style" check box under Settings. Then you can just hit OK to save. Now try the easter egg, it might work.

The F5 entry doesn't work in Excel 2000. It errors out. I used cut and paste to make sure. Is there a FS for Excel 2000?

This did not work in MS Excel 2000. I could get the area to highlight. I pressed Tab which worked fine, but when I pressed CTRL+SHIFT+chart wizard, the chart wizard just came up. Any suggestions?

Really, all you have to do is in the goto box, type x97:l97, press OK, press tab, then hold ctrl+shift and click the chart wizard. Left click is forward, right is backwards. Look for the credits and the funny floor! Also, if you want to do it again, you'll have to close and reopen Excel. I'm not sure why the previous explanation was so complicated...

The egg is a classic !!! For those who are having trouble; As an ENGLISH helper, I say; I use windows 98 SE, with Microsoft Excel 97, not at all upgraded in any way. To those who are trying to use this egg, my simple instructions are as follows; 1) Open Excel (should open a new book). 2) Click 'Tools', Then 'Options', and under the 'General' Tab, ensure the checkbox 'R1C1 Reference style' is UNCHECKED. 3) Back in the new (blank) book, hit F5, type x97:l97 and hit enter. 4) Press TAB once. 5) Hold down Ctrl and Shift, and press the 'Chart wizard' button. Seriously funny - Thanks for a laugh!
