  1. Hi All,
    I am Deepak Gupta. I am working for an IT company, Logica Pvt. Ltd, in Mumbai.
    I am always impressed by the features of excel and would like to learn and explore the same.

    I am very keen on learning macros and other features of excel, which I normally see on my menu bar, but never tried playing with them. I hope this is the right place I have come. With the guidance and learning from Chandoo, I would be able to explore them all.

    Cheers,

  2. Hi,
    I am Shobhit Garg, working as an Business Analyst at Mumbai for Solvay Pharmaceuticals (Now Abbott, the makers of brand Digene). In my job I come across all types of databases & my job is to convert data into information. I want to take my analysis to next level from where it is today in my company, so that I can equip the management with better understanding of market, trends & competitors without making them going through large excel files (which I make as of now).
    For this I am looking forward to techniques & tricks for making Dashboards. Also looking forward to learn many features which I still don’t know that they exist in excel especially formulas & impressive charts (myself got bored by making same typical corporate charts).
    Hugely impressed by Chandoo & regret that I came across this website just couple of months ago.
    Waiting to get awesome in excel.

    My Regards to Chandoo & my classmates with whom I will be interacting in coming days.

    My name is Deepak and I work for a industrial valve manufacturing company – JCF Fluid Flow and am based in Abu Dhabi. Much of the reporting activity is done in Excel and have joined the program to develop my skills.

  43. Acually its John Halm. I used her CC to pay for the class. This is my second excel school with Chandoo. The first one was very good. I’m looking forward to this course as it will sharpen my skills as a itermediate Excel user but want more. Chandoo is very gracious and a great teacher. I currently work for the U.S. Government but I am unhappy there, at least right now. Hopeefully we will pull out of this recession and generate some new jobs that I can apply for. I am a Professional Engineer and have an MBA in Finance. I have wife and 4 kids.

What attracted me to Chandoo’s school is his approach to teaching which makes it seem not as complicated as I thought it to be, I am not a total newbie, but my use and knowledge of Excel has been limited to the very basic level, and I plan on becoming really awesome!. I am currently taking a break from work to persue other interests, who knows I may land myself a better job after this course.
    Good luck to all.

  46. Hello everyone,
    My name is Cary (named after Cary Grant who was originally born in Bristol in England – my mother had a crush on him). I suspect that my career path is different from many of you having recently taken semi retirement after 20 years with American Express followed by 8 years running my own hotel in Bath UK. With my background as a Chartered Accountant I have now turned my hand to running the finance functions for a couple of small companies ranging from bookkeeping through to forecasts and budgets which takes up a couple of days a week. Last October while trying to improve my basic knowledge of Excel through another online course subscribed to by one of the above companies I discovered dashboards which I believe will help owner managers of these small businesses focus more on their results, an area that many of them tend to bury their heads in the sand and pretend they don’t exist.
    I am looking forward to the course and hopefully an ability to develop and impart dashboards to a range of small companies.

  47. Hi, my name is George and I am the leader of a PMO for an IT organization in Princeton, NJ. I am involved in developing software that is used by our professionals to conduct Audits worldwide. My interest in the course is driven by the desire to develop effective status reporting and dashboards which effectively communicate the status of our projects – especially based on the methodology, context and risks facing the project. The bottom line is that I am looking to provide more value in reporting and I believe that this course will open up possibilities in the areas involving Excel.
    I look forward to the course and in interacting with everyone

However, I need help doing that which is why I signed up for the course. I also want to be able to “see” the story in the data…. the patterns…to make the information more valuable to the users to whom I send it. I am very interested in the Dashboard lessons. I also want to know more about the program itself as I feel I have only scratched the surface of what Excel can do. I am excited about what you’ll teach us over the coming weeks, Chandoo.
    All the best to you and others in our class,

  76. Hello Everyone,
    I’m Hrishali. I work in Somerset, NJ. I have recently made a significant change in my career and my new role requires me to create reports, charts and what not. My excel skills are rudimentary at best so that when i’m in meetings and expected to understand what Pivot tables and dashboards mean, or to compute formulae and create all these results my eyes get crossed.
    I’m hoping that at the end of this course Excel will mean more to me than a bunch of cells. 🙂

    Let the training begin!

    1. @Arun… the basic process for worksheet protection is like this.

      Select the cells you want to protect.
      Press Ctrl+1 (or go to format cells)
      From protection tab, make sure the you have locked the cells
      Now, right click on worksheet name
      Select protection
      Give a password
      Re-type the password
      Now, you can only select the cells, but not edit them
      To Edit, you need to unprotect the sheet by entering the password.

  132. Hello everyone,
    My name is Michael Rapp and I am residing in Munich, Germany, town of the Oktoberfest, the original Hofbrauhaus, wonderful beer and bread – and hopefully of the Winter Olympics 2018. I am married and have two beautiful daughters, both just over 20 years and studying.
    My passion and profession is architecture, enriched over the last 15 year by the study and application of Feng Shui, the Chinese art of harnessing the powerful natural energy surrounding us.
    In my job I have been using Excel for the past 15 years a lot for cost estimating and project accounting. However the main focus of my present Excel work is the new version of a Feng Shui template which calculates the hidden properties of QI and displays the findings on very involved circular charts over the floor plan of a building. In order to create a state of the art tool for professional consultants I need all the expertise in Excel I can get.

    Looking forward to the course
    From Munich
    Michael

  133. Hi everybody!
    I am 54 years old – and perhaps the oldest member of this virtual class! I worked in the Indian Air Force for 20 years before taking premature retirment in 1998. Today, I am a Director in a mid-sized company that trades in high-end medical equipment.

    In the course of my work, I have to analyze lot of sales, financial, and similar business data to take appropriate strategic decisions. Over the last few years, I have taught myself Excel by reading books and experimenting on my my own. However, I feel I now need structured learning to take my decision making to a different level. I think Chandoo’s Excel school is just the kind of teacher that I need.

    I look forward to a great learning experience!

  147. Hello Chandoo and everyone,

    I am Alvino from Singapore.

    I fell in love with Excel 2 years ago when i started to work as a data analyst sort of. I have borrowed all the books of Excel in library, watched and listened to podcasts of MrExcel and other MVPs during this time. I also attended courses on Introduction to Excel VBA and Excel Database Modelling during this period.

    However, I always feel that there is something new to learn in Excel every time. The more i learn, the more i realise that.

    My main purpose of this course is to learn more about Dashboard. But i believe i will gain more than that looking at the rich lesson plan.

  148. Hi my name is Clay Chilcott.

    For just about every job that I have held, I find myself solving business problems by turning to Excel. Over the years, I have really become an Excel addict!! So….when I found I had a the money in my FUN Fund, I enrolled in the Dashboard program.

    I know to some folks that might sound a little twited…..but I’m hoping it will keep me out of trouble for a little while. 🙂 And, it will be one more, as my boss says, ribbon in my bow, of value I can bring to my job.

    I’m very happy to join this excel – school. I’m certified accountant and head of finance and accounting department in automotive international company in Croatia. Although I’m using excel for almost 10 years I’ll probably find out a lot of features that I’ve never used before and I’ll start from the beginning without skipping. Everything I know about excel, I’ve learned by myself, based on my professional needs .When I found out Dashboard excel reports I’ve “grow crazy”, and I’ve decided to explore every single detail in this course. Also I’m sure that I’ll enjoy every minute using this site. Cheers, BG

  169. Hello,

    I am Anton, I work for the European Commision’s statistical office EUROSTAT in Luxembourg. I am particularly interested in presenting statistics on a dashboard. My feeling is that policy makers have a need for ever more statistics and the challenge is to present those and their interrelationships in a productive and meaningful way using a variety of instruments such as tables, graphs and maps with interactive elements. I expect to pick up some good examples of dashboards as well as instructive vba techniques to build and use them.

    Best regards,
    Anton

    I am Srinivas Posani. I am a doctor, surgeon to be precise . For last one year, I wanted to learn excel. Though it is part of office and I am familiar with word and power point for the past decade, I never used excel up until last 2 years. Initially, I used it to create table with few columns and rows. Later, I have noticed that couple of invoices sent to me are in excel. Then I started exploring. With my busy schedule and lack of quality help nearby, I didn’t progress much. Through internet search, I came across this website. I am hoping to learn a lot of excel in next six month.Thanks every one.

    My name is Nabil Latif, originally from Melbourne, Australia but currently working in the Middle East. Working as strategy consultant for one of the top global consulting firms, two tools we need to master are Excel and Powerpoint.

Spent years trying out different websites, forums etc for ad hoc excel support, until I came across this site and was extremely impressed. Easily one of the best Excel help site I’ve seen.. so am eager to start the course. Once I finish this I hope to go on and do the VBA school!

  201. Good morning teacher and my classmates,

    I live and work in the US. My background is in Electrical Engineering. Currently, I am working in a capacity of an Operations Manager for the ophthalmology practice that I started with my wife almost three years ago.

    I have been using Excel since my college days for various personal and professional projects. However, I always had a feeling that I am only scratching the surface of this powerful tool which can be at times very intimidating.

    My intention is to master Excel to the level where I can create efficient Dashboards for monitoring financial and business trends of our practice. My ultimate goal is to try to develop a tracking system for patients that are referred to our practice by local optometrists.

    Sincerely,

    Vlajko (V-l-a-y-k-o)

About 10 years ago, I used Excel and Access to build a new business and had to learn both without any direction. So I want to build on that base, especially becoming more confident (and, hopefully, proficient) in developing dashboards. I primarily use Excel for financial tracking and reporting.

  243. MBA student, real estate brokerage student, and licensed appraiser in Michigan, USA. Only an Excel beginner, and must become an Excel master! I mainly want to use Excel for investment analysis, as well as scientific statistical work (I’m also a linguist).

  244. I am raja, working in Visual effects production management. Novice in excel. Wanted to explore excel more & make use the best of it in my project management flow.

  246. Hi everyone,

    I am Glenn Klein from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And work as a Transition Technical Specialist in a financial institution. Basically that means I am a trouble shooter and solver of problems. Excel is one of my favorite tools. We have been using it for data entry to be converted into mailmerge legal documents and as a source for transferring data to other databases. It is truly an awesome program. I am here to learn even more about more Excel’s capabilities.

  247. Hello Everyone,

I am looking forward to learning how to make the reports better looking as well as easier for the team to input data and see the results that will help them manage their areas better and improve performance. I am also looking forward to utilize Excel to help me analyze and improve our company. Lastly, we are in the process of creating centralized operational protocols.

  250. Hi, I am Glenn and I work for a non profit in Tasmania, Australia. I am a financial officer / analyst who uses excel for most of what I do, and I figured this course would be a lot more specific, useful and cost effective than any offered by a local company.

  251. Greetings, my name is Desmond. I’m fairly new to excel, and what I know is self taught. Not sure if this is the right class for me, but I suspect at the end of the class, I’ll either be entirely frustrated or light years ahead of where I’m now.

  252. Hi, I am Megan, working for a CPA firm in New York City as a tax accountant. I use Excel to prepare work paper for partnership returns. I really want to learn more about Excel and VBA to do the work more efficiently. I believe this program will benefit my career in the near future. Thanks.

  253. I think this should be easy but I’m drawing a blank…..
    I have the formula =TODAY() in a cell and I want to know how many days have gone by since the end of the prior year. How do I write that formula?

    Thanks and I’m thoroughly enjoying the lessons. I’ve already learned a lot and have been able to share some tips and tricks with colleagues.

  257. Hi,
    My name is Deborah from Australia. I am an accountant for a medium size business and in the past few years there has been an increased demand for analysis reporting. I have very basic excel skills but would love to wow my managers with a report that is a) meaningful and b) used as a decision support tool.

    I hope I can achieve this via this mechanism.

  258. I work at an insurance company based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, primarily on measurements related to decision making. I found the numerous links on chandoo.org extremely helpful but found myself jumping from one topic to another as more stuff caught my interest. I’m hoping the classroom will keep me more focused, and will help me move up to being “awesome” in Excel. I’m particularly interested in creating dashboards that provide meaningful information at a glance, plus allow my clients to get the right level of detail they need to make good decisions through interaction.

  259. Hi Class and Chandoo,

    Caio,
    Frantz

  267. Hello from Columbus, Ohio, USA!

    I am a long time Excel user. My full time job has involved multiple roles in IT, Development and Marketing. A common thread has been product development, and Excel and Access (and Perl) have been tools for gathering and making sense of user behavior, usage and revenue; managing plans; communicating. Outside interests have found me using Excel for such diverse things as analyzing township budgets, analyzing incident patterns and response times for our local fire department, building a music performance database. I have found myself going to Chandoo.org as my first stop for “how do you do this”, saw their school, and….here I am!

  268. Hi everyone, my name is Tucker Robertson and I live and work in sometimes sunny Florida. MY work experience is in the packaging industry and I am looking forward to extending my excel skills.

  278. Good Afternoon:

    On the screen if you want to see your formulas better as you are typing them what would you
    recommend. CTRL mouse magnification does not seem to work. Also I want to listen to your
    voice and lesson at another time. Instruct how to do this ??

    Bob

    1. Hi Robert,

      You can click on the Full-screen button on the video plug-in control bar (on right of the time tracking bar after volume control). This will make the video play in full screen mode with much better visibility. Also, there is a download link for each video below the play area for the video. It is marked “Download this lesson & Watch at leisure.” You can save the file and use a media player to play the lesson from your saved location as and when you need.

  279. Hi All,
    I am currently working with CITI Corp. India in Financial Reporting where I need a lot of analytical work on xls, hope this course will help me to design financial model as well as fasten up my work.

  280. Hi Everyone,
    My name is Debbie and I work in the Human Resource dept and do the payroll for a manufacturing company in Indian, USA. I thought I was pretty good with excel and would have place myself somewhere between intermediate and advanced. But after starting these lessons, I think I more on the high end of a beginner. I have 2003 and when I saw all the cool stuff 2007 does, my company is upgrading me this week to 2007 so I can get the most out of these classes. I love excel and love the way Chandoo teaches it. I am really hoping to be “awsome” in excel one of these days. I have put my classes on hold till I have 2007. I do wish the worksheet was larger for the classes, (like full screen). My eyes are not the greatest. Also, I wanted to download, but they want you to buy a 29.95 winzip to do that, any other way to unzip it for free?

    1. Hi Debbie,

      We’ve seen this question raised by others as well. You do not need to buy winzip to view the tutorials here. Possibly, the file association might not be set up properly in your system. Windows supports *.zip compressed file format. Save the file to you system drive. Then right click and from the context menu, you should have an extract files option available. If the same is not available still, there are freeware zip extractors available. A simple search for “freeware zip extractor” for the same will yield many utilities which can handle *.zip file format.

      1. NOTE: You can view the videos in full screen mode. First play the video. Then from the control bar at the bottom of the video, click the full screen button (it’s located to the right of the time track bar for the video next to the volume control button). This should make viewing the videos much easier. The video resolution should suffice even in full screen mode and make for clear viewing.

  282. Hello all,

    I work for a major Apparel retail company in US and have recently assumed responsibilities as a Software applications manager.

    I want to be awesome in a lot of things, but Excel crosses my path almost daily, so it will be Excel first. I have a lot of high expectations from the course, am not a novice.
    So, it will be interesting for me to get quality material (I hope this course is not geared towards beginners).

  283. Hello all,

    I work for GE Healthcare in the area of Commercial Pricing. This is a new role for me, one which will involve extensive data analysis. At this time, I am a basic user of Excel, but I hope to be proficient with the help of this course. I am looking forward to it.

  286. Hi everyone, my name is Glenn Kruger. I live in Boston, MA and I am currently changing career fields. My goal is to work for Harvard University’s Strategic Procurement Department. I had an interview that revealed to me that they need someone with more analytical skills. I am strong in Excel to a point; however, because of my previous career field didn’t need me to go beyond the basics I didn’t. Based on the questions asked during my interview they apparently need someone strong in Excel who know how to create, use, and maintain Dashboards, use VBA and Queries, and able to tie them together with PowerPoint and the internet. Now I can roll over and say poor me, but that’s not me. I find this to be a challenge and an opportunity to prove who I am and that I am the right person for the job. I did a little research that led me to your web site. I feel your training will help me overcome my deficiencies and hone my technical skills as well as my analytical skills too. I plan to request an Internship with no compensation with them so I can learn from you and them, and to hone my skills in a real-time environment at the same time.

  287. Hi,
    My name is Tammy. I work for the state of Idaho as a research analyst. I took several years off to raise my children so I am rusty in Microsoft Office programs, including Excel. We use data bases, tables, charts, etc., extensively, and I need to be proficient in Excel to be good at my job. I am not there yet, but I hope to be, by the time I finish this course.

  288. Hi,
    My name is Melissa Balestri. I work at a building consultant company and have developed an intense Excel spreadsheet for construction/financial planning. My main goal is to learn how to create a dashboard for the spreadsheet because other in-house personnel are not advanced Excel users, and because our typical end user is not Excel-savvy. My secondary goal is to finally learn how to use pivot tables.
    Looking forward to it!

  289. Hi folks,

    My name is Len, and I’m from Toronto, Canada. I am an emergency management and business continuity professional.

    I’m decent in Excel, but there’s still a helluva lot more to learn! I’m looking forward to the experience, and I will be using it very soon for improving a variety of software tools I produce for emergency operations centres (EOCs) and business continuity planning templates.

  290. Hi all,

    I’m Leon and work as a data analyst for the NHS in the UK. I’ve always worked in the public sector and used Excel within my previous employment but never to a level that I would consider professional. I hope to address this issue and learn not only Excel but also VBA, Financial Modelling and Project Management.

    The NHS requires as much professional skill from its admin staff as it can get for the money it pays, especially in today’s financial climate. If I can produce the quality of work that Chandoo teaches in the shortest time and most efficient manner, I will have greatly increased my value to the NHS. Also, this course of study could lead to my job role being expanded for little or no extra cost. This would be good for the NHS as well as my own future employability. I regard this study as self developement and self investment.

    I’m very excited about being a student at Chandoo.org.

    Leon

  291. Hi everyone My name is Shelly Steavens, and I live in Washington State, USA. I am excited about this course just from Chando blog.

  294. Hi, I am Jacquelyn, often called Jax. I live in San Jose, California. I am a security guard with assorted admin duties at a tech company. I’ve learned a lot about Excel’s VBA, formulas and charting in the last few months, using Chandoo.org and other online resources. I’ve applied my new knowledge at work with interactive charts and time-saving macros. I know some advanced Excel concepts now, but my foundation isn’t necessarily as strong. I look forward to Chandoo’s course for comprehensive understanding of Excel from the ground up. My goal is to be more useful at work and take on even more functions.

    I really enjoy learning and accomplishing new things in Excel. I inherited a yearly report in the form of a boring bar chart, but I used a trick with scrollbars I adapted from Chandoo’s example and made a colorful interactive dashboard instead. Everyone was very impressed–not bad, for the security guard!

  333. Hello Purna,

    Is it possible to apply an operand to a column or row of numbers in a fast way? Example, I have column of numbers: A1 has 499, A2 has 503. I want the values to be 4.99 and 5.03. I can do the following: in A1 “=499/100” and in A2 “=503/100”. I am not allowed to use cells reference in this case – “=A1/100”. That creates circular argument apparently and violates the rules. Therefore is there quick way to apply “/100” to all the values without putting in a formula in every cell?

    Thanks and regards,
    SM

    1. @SM,

      For such operations, paste special is a boon. Write the number hundred in any empty cell. Copy it. select the range where you want the numbers divided by 100. Paste special and in “Paste” segment on the popup, choose values, and in the “Operation” segment of the popup, choose “Divide”, and the click “OK” button. And all the data should be effectively divided by 100.

  368. Good Morning Everyone,

    My name is Mark Bacheldor and I am in the Detroit Area. I have worked in the Automotive world for most of my career, but I am now working in the Healthcare industry. I have used Access and Excel for many years but I am always impressed when I find something new. It seems like there is always more to learn. Most of my knowledge has been gained on an as needed basis. I had a need so I figured out how to find a solution. I do a lot of work getting information from main frame systems in the form of test files and then crunching the data in Access. I then export the information out to Excel for the users. I am looking forward to learning more about what I can do with Excel.

    Thank you,

I don’t know very much about creating dashboards but I think they’re incredibly helpful to those of us who need data quickly. I look forward to learning from the class and from my fellow classmates.

    Cheers,

  393. Hey guys,

    I’m Rob, a PPM software implementation consultant from London presently on a contract with a major software development firm in Tel Aviv. This particular company’s Project Management Office and Delivery Teams use MONSTER Excel spreadsheets to maintain their entire resource capacity and demand picture to make decisions about which Projects to do and who to do them internationally.

    In fact, I spend a lot of time working to replace Excel (sorry Chandoo!) in various organisations across a wide range of industries.

    Hence, I need to become an Excel ninja and know it inside out. I am also keen to explore ways in which Excel can be used in conjunction with MS Project to deliver a detailed Programme planning capability and associated metrics.

    Looking forward to getting into it…

    Rob

  396. Hi! I’m Karen. I live and work in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada. I am the Assistant Controller for a small airline and we use lots of spreadsheets in the accounting function.

So let’s have fun! and If you need any tourist info on San Antonio, I’d be glad to lend a hand.

    My name is Ray Conway. I have worked in the IT field for over 20 years, mainly as a Access Database Developer. Many years, I have alway used Excel mainly for just a transport medium for my reports created in Access. I have discovered that many functions are best suited for the Excel enviroment, as others work better in Access. I needed to sharpen my skils in the creation of dashboards, as most managers perfer this method of reporting. I have been on Chandoo’s news letter for a while, but I wanted to dig deeper to produce better resuts. I beleive that this will enhanse my skillsets to a broader width along with my Access and VBA skills

  403. Hello,

    My name is John and I live in Cleveland Ohio, (America). I work for US Bank as a Mortgage Default Analyst. I know enough Excel to be dangerous, but I’m no expert. A couple of months ago, I was assigned to a project which required extensive use of our favorite spreadsheet program. While looking for tips on optimizing Excel worksheets, I kept stumbling into Chandoo’s forums. The forums provided me with the instructions to build some really cool (albeit basic) dashboards. After a couple of Supervisors noticed what I did, they promoted me to the Default Analyst position, and look at me like I am some sort of Excel guru (which I do not profess to be whatsoever). Now, I have to produce a very large number of reports on a daily basis. I see tons of room for improvement based on the articles I have read.

  407. Hi,
    I am a reporting analyst who has worked with Microsoft products for many years. After working for other people for a couple of decades, I have embarked on work as a consultant for report development, data mining and dashboard creation. This has meant I must work with the tools available to me, as opposed to requesting that a company buy another software. I know that Excel is very powerful and contains more tools for immediate presentation than other specialized programs. Since most companies already own it, I hope to expand my self-taught familiarity.

    Regards,

    1. @Anantha,
      If you are referring to how this can be done using Excel Automation, then the topics related to pivot tables, and selective range selection are dealt with in VBA Classes at Chandoo’s. If you wish to review their content/scope/cost, you can write to purna.duggirala.va@gmail.com. It is beyond the scope of Excel Classes. The goal here is to familiarize members with Excel formulas and Excel functions. However, VBA based automation is not within the scope of these tutorials.

A high level of expertise in Excel is critical with the work I do as I sift through an enormous amount of network data. Number crunching/data analysis is one thing but presenting data in a coherent, understandable and intuitive format for inter/external customers who are mostly technically inclined people is another. Excel is a very powerful tool and I feel I haven’t tapped it’s full functionality as yet, that’s why I opted to subscribe to your Excel school. I need to be not only capable in Excel but also ‘Awesome’ as you put it so I’m glad to be onboard!
