About

Trust me, I’m an Excel expert 🙂

I have developed the content on this website based upon my many years of experience with Excel, notably in business environments (see below). It is therefore both tried-and-tested and practical.

I have also written a practical how2excel book so you can learn how to excel at creating reliable, user-friendly spreadsheets.
