How many students have joined the school?
At the time of writing this post (Around 11pm on Feb 16) we have 94 students signed up. That is quite a bit more than what I expected. While I am a tiny bit scared, I am very keen to help as many more people as possible. So, go ahead and join the program, because I don’t know when I will re-open it.
Clarification about PayPal:
Few people have e-mailed me and asked, “I don’t have PayPal account, how do I sign-up?”.
Well, you don’t need a PayPal account if you use the one-time payment option. All you have to do is click on the link that says “Continue without creating a paypal account”. See this screenshot.
(You must create a PayPal account if you choose monthly payment option. This will give you ability to review your payment every month.)
When is it closing exactly?
I will be closing new registrations by 11:59 PM (Pacific Time) on today. Pacific time is GMT-8:00. See the below list to know when exactly the registration closes at your time zone.
Will the school re-open later this year?
That is my plan. But I don’t know if my kids permit me to fool around too much. You see, by then they would be talking.
So, Sign-up already!

Bonus Excel Tip: How to convert times from one time zone to another?
Just because 100 people are joining excel school doesn’t mean that rest 7,900 of you should read a sales pitch. So here is a bonus tip.
If you want to convert times from one time zone to another (like above), you can use simple date arithmetic.
- Enter the date and time you want to convert in a cell (say in A1)
- Now, let us say you want to convert this to time zone 6 hours ahead of it.
- Simply write the formula
=A1 + 6/24to get the time in new time zone. - Hint: change
+6/24to-7/24if you want time in a zone that is 7 hours behind.
That is all. Happy time traveling.
PS: You would need a real time machine if you miss the dead line for excel school sign-up. You know what to do.

Hey Dan,
Thanks a lot... this is too good 🙂
Awesome stuff Dan! very impressed..
Thanks guys.
Some nice ideas in there, thanks for sharing. I noticed the list with teams has a missing value though ('Arizona Diamondbacks'). Also when manipulating Pivot Tables with VBA you should be really careful not to try to select a value that isn't in the Pivot Table, if you do all hell breaks loose 🙂 That's not the case here but just some advise as I learned the hard way...
Ah.....ya caught me.
dnrTeamName drives both the charts and the drop down list. It refers to:
=OFFSET(PvtTeams!$A$6,0,0,COUNTA(PvtTeams!$A$6:$A$40),1)
If you change A6 to A5, it fixes that little issue.
A better question though, who actually cares about the Arizona Diamondbacks?
🙂
Excellent post. Thanks
Great job, Dan! Thanks a million!
