Hi, I'm J.
I'm Here To Share The Most Comprehensive Excel Tutorials
First of all, welcome to Power Spreadsheets!
I've worked several years in finance and data analysis in different parts of the world:
- South Korea;
- Singapore;
- Colombia;
- Germany; and
- Canada.
As you can imagine, my experiences were very different depending on the country and exact position I was in. However, one thing was pretty much always constant:
Lots of Excel.
I've always considered myself to be good at computers. Therefore, at the beginning, I didn't really take the time to study Excel properly.
In other words:
I thought I knew how to use Excel properly.
The fact that my colleagues generally thought that I was an advanced Excel user who could do quite impressive things reinforced this opinion.
However…
I eventually learned this was not a completely accurate view.
I was indeed quite good at using some Excel features. However, I wasn't that knowledgeable when it came to others. In some cases, I was surprised to find out Excel features I didn't even know existed.
I also kept finding out that some of the ways I did things were not very efficient. In some cases, I could've saved tons of time had I known more about Excel.
Eventually, I came to my senses and decided to figure out all (or at least as much as I can) of Excel. I've invested, and continue to invest, hundreds of hours:
- Reading Excel books and blogs.
- Watching Excel tutorials.
- Reading forum comments and discussions.
Does this mean I now know everything about Excel?
No.
I continue to learn new things and, sometimes, I'm still quite surprised by what I learn.
I mean: I'm certainly quite good with Excel. I'm also very good at finding solutions to the problems I encounter from time to time when working with Excel. Finally, I love documenting and organizing what I learn.
These characteristics allow me to create extremely detailed and comprehensive Excel Tutorials, Books and Courses, which I share with you through Power Spreadsheets.
Overall, I'd say that I'm probably very similar to you when it comes to working with Excel:
- I know that Excel is capable of amazing things. And I want to learn how to do them.
- I know how frustrating and difficult learning Excel can be.
- I like learning new things all the time.
These reasons have led me to create Power Spreadsheets. My main purpose with Power Spreadsheets is to share what I've learned and continue to learn about Excel. I do this by, among others:
- Writing detailed Tutorials and Books about Excel and macros/VBA; and
- Creating thorough Courses about Excel macros/VBA.
You can stay up to date regarding any new Tutorials, Books and Courses I publish by entering your email address below.
I hope that my work at Power Spreadsheets helps you to:
- Avoid some struggles when working with (or learning about) Excel and macros/VBA; and
- Take your Excel and macro/VBA proficiency to a complete new level.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope to see you around Power Spreadsheets soon!
