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.

Your solution to the problem of extracting all the values in a lookup is the most elegant I have ever seen. It is clean, easy to remember, and easy to understand. Y'all are my favorite people now. Thank you so much.
