 Can assist you in most areas of Excel, have been working with it for about 15 years in many types of applications, but primarily in financial and accounting applications. I am a CPA and many client or client problems have necessitated the use of excel. I am not an expert in charting, macros, or pivot tables.

 In Excel 2003 I can handle all basic questions such as how to copy and paste, all medium type questions such as pivot tables, and also am proficient in basic macros. I am also quickly learning 2007 where everything is pretty much the same but all in different places. Please be as detailed in writing your question as possible as that goes a long way in my ability to give the best answer possible.

 I can answer questions regarding worksheet functions and a pretty good handle on VBA. I can help with many, though not all VBA questions to provide coding, menus, macros, and automation. YOU MUST TELL ME WHICH EXCEL VERSION YOU ARE ON. 2003, 2007 I enjoy providing quality answers. To me a quality answer means that as an "expert", you DON'T try to sound fancy and complicated. Rather, you provide help where the person is at, and don't suggest things so complicated they will not be able to do them or maintain them. At the same time you may nudge them to check out additional options that will broaden their knowledge a bit. When you ask me a question, you will get an honest and helpful answer. Beware that this is not the case with many "experts". Either they are so 'expert' they will phrase things in a way that doesn't get you where you need to be (impossible to figure out how to implement), or else they will only criticize your approach. If I think your approach is wrong, I may mention it - but I'll still also answer your question. If I can't answer it, I'll be prompt and .....

 I can answer questions relating to MS Excel formulas, or to programming with vba (Visual Basic for Applications) in the Excel environment. Please follow the following guidelines: your question should focus on one specific issue you want to learn. It's beyond the scope of this free service for me to create entire projects or complex vba solutions for you from scratch. You should be able to do most of the work yourself, and come here when you need help with a specific point you're stuck on. ALWAYS include a simple, concrete example illustrating what you want to learn. Explain this example in detail in the text of your question (what data is in which cells of which sheets, etc). Be very precise about the results you want, using this sample to make the logic clear. Always keep these examples SIMPLE. Never e.g. use 18 worksheets in your example if using 2 or 3 will do. Never use ranges like AI567:BB865 if using a range like A1:B3 will do. Thanks.

 I can answer most general questions, including formatting, shortcuts, pivot tables etc. I have just started using macros, so vba is not my strong suit. I also enjoy explaining the solution at the questioners level of understanding. I am an accountant by trade, so that is my primary area of expertise, but I am willing to tackle just about anything.

 Worked with the program for many years - provided assistance on MS Excel Newsgroups since 1997. Have received the Microsoft MVP award annually since 1999. I don't answer questions on using Excel in a browser Since I have no way to test this. Prefer not to answer charting questions. I consider myself to be particularly knowledgeable about using VBA internal to Excel but have no problems with formulas and pivot tables either.

 I will try to answer any question that I can replicate in my current environment (I use Excel 2003 with Windows XP). This may include formula related questions on other Excel versions. Due to time limitations, I am not writing custom code to answer questions any more. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 I can provide help with most all EXCEL questions and most all questions about writing EXCEL macros. I have been developing macros for about 10 years in EXCEL and have switched to it from Lotus 1-2-3 after about 10 years of writing macros in it. Typically, I will not write a macro for you unless it is very short because of all the details a macro has to know about to work every time and all the time are rarely provided. If I am not given ALL the details, circumstances, and situations then a "good" macro can not be written. Please understand that I do not know it all and will be the first to say so. As politely as possible, I don't write macros for people on this site who need one, want one, seem to imply that they need one, and/or seem to think I am expected to write one UNLESS they are very short, quick, and simple. 99% of all macros are more involved than what you think and rarely am I provided with enough specific and complete details to have the code work the first time and every time. This typically means too many follow-up emails .....
