Hi - I'm Dave Bruns, and I run Exceljet with my wife, Lisa. Our goal is to help you work faster in Excel. We create short videos, and clear examples of formulas, functions, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and charts.

Let me tell you that I am uber happy to have found your classes on the internet – they combine huge knowledge with a great talent to explain and teach! I watched some of your free lessons before I invested money, and from what I have seen I can say that it's worth every penny!
