I have been considered a spreadsheet expert for many years, but I believe my total Excel knowledge is likely less than 30% of what I've seen in your weekly e-mails and website...In today's fast-paced office, when I need to know "how", ExcelJet is absolutely the best resource I've found for keeping my skills up-to-date without spending much time searching for answers. Thank you!!! - Suzanne
