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.
Thanks for the resources you provide. I've bumped into it as an avid Excel user (not at your level though) and have immediately seen the value - wow.
