 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.

 Please tell me WHICH EXCEL VERSION you are using!

DO NOT ASK ME me about Macros or VBA.

Please read my "instructions to questioners" in my full profile [use View Profile, at right], to help you write a question that I can understand, without having to ask you what you mean.

If your question contains any of the words THIS, IT, THAT, THOSE, or THEY, I likely won't understand IT. Please rewrite!

My Expertise: I am an expert at data manipulation, the use of incredibly complex logical statements, databases, combining tables and extracting data, all the LOGICAL, LOOKUP & REFERENCE functions, dynamic ranges, creating professional appearing spreadsheets, complex functions, integrated charts and visual displays, user interfaces.... I can make Excel do anything!

But PLEASE... NO MACRO or VBA QUESTIONS!

 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.

 I have extensive experience with VBA programming in Excel 5 through Excel 2007. I am an consultant in a small defense technology services company, and have developed a wide range of applications in VBA, including simulations involving mixed-language programming, satellite orbit mechanics, graphics and animation, and real-time applications. I am interested in moderate to hard VBA-related questions only.

 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 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.

 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 .....
