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've had to create a workbook with formulas that are somewhat complicated (for me) and I've been able to do this in short order with your help. There are a lot of excel resources out there, some are pretty good, but your layout, explanations and links to similar formulas are the best.
