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.

I just wanted to send a message to let you know how much I appreciate all the great videos and free education that you provide. It's been so helpful to me over the years in my role and am now teasingly considered an Excel ninja around my workplace! Thank you for the time you take to prepare videos and the wonderfully clear instructions on your website. You have the gift of teaching and for you to share that gift to provide knowledge to others is appreciated over here.
