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 do an excel-intensive project once a year, which means I constantly have to relearn formulas. This is the first year in which your website has repeatedly popped up when I google for help on a formula. The website is incredibly clear and useful.
