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 say how much of resource you've created. With Exceljet I've been able to automate a budgeting issue which, without hyperbole, has not been done in approximately 50yrs in my niche industry. No one simply put in the time to realize it could all be 1s and 0s. And with your site, I've been able to guide myself how to do exactly that.
