 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 .....

 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 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.

 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 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.
