    Hi Chandoo;
    I wish to learn more about:
    - Formulas (as they relate to real-world problems);
    - Dashboards / Balanced Scorecard

    Cheers,

  4. Shajan says:

    I would like to see a complete accounting package in Excel. Individual excel sheet for raw data entry and generating reports like ledger, sundry creditors, sundry debtors in a consolidated sheet.

  5. Gerard says:

    There are more areas for me thet have my interest.

    Advanced Charting
    Dashboards
    VBA (Macros)
    Array Formulas
    Statistical Analysis (regression, time series etc.)
    Scenarios, What if analysis

  6. Bob says:

    I still struggle with VLOOKUP. I have yet to find a tutorial that is simple enough to help me. I am able to create complex queries in Access and do simple SQL statements, but VLOOKUP remains a mystery.

  7. TheQ47 says:

    Definitely, Pivot Tables. I know how to do some basics with them, but anytime I research anything more advanced, it seems too advanced, and I end up not having a clue what is being discussed.

  8. Davinosky says:

    I would like to lern more about VBA (Macros) and Dashboards, and how to combine them.

  9. Andrew Marianski says:

    Elegant, simple solutions to complex though common situation. For instance using less common excel function to replace large nested "if" formulas.

  10. Thiago Pereira Bueno says:

    Advanced charting and dashboards definitely!!
    BTW, thanks for the awesome tips and tricks and keep up the excellent work buddy!

  11. Alexander says:

    More solver and statistical (regression and time series) would be amazing. But I will read anything you post, because I enjoy it a LOT! Thank you.

  12. Luke M says:

    PivotTables, specifically how to setup/use calculated fields. (I never get mine to work)

  13. Matt S says:

    My vote is for using Solver for Data Mining purposes.

  14. Brad C says:

    If I could cast 2 votes it would be (1) Pivot Tables and (2) Dashboards. Pivot Tables seem to be such a powerful tool, but like other posters, I have such a hard time getting them setup and configured to work how I want them to. Love the site Chandoo!

  15. Kevin Lehrbass says:

    Excel models are often passed around and used by many people. I hear this a lot: "I just received this model, can you help me figure out how it works?" Two major neglected areas I have seen are: Spreadsheet design principles and then proper documentation.

  16. Rich says:

    Pivot tables (or work around), particularly around doing things not built into it like unique counts.

  17. JO says:

    - Solver
    - Statistical Analysis (regression, time series etc.)

  18. Char says:

    dashboards

  19. 3G says:

    Pivot tables! maybe a 5 day series...basics working up to an advanced homework or something...

  20. Deb says:

    Array formulas, pivot tables, and data tables. You didn't say we had to choose just one:). I would be interested in statistical analyses and scenarios, but I don't know enough about them to know how I might use them.

  21. Angi says:

    Array formulas, different lookup types (I still have some scenarios that I can't figure out using index, match, etc.), macros, scorecards.

  22. John says:

    I would like to learn more on...
    VBA (Macro)
    Solver

  37. rich soby says:

    Linkage to databases and passing data back and forth. Currently I'm exploring having pivots in a dashboard - I want the user to select a value ( like a filter/pull down etc) then use that to call to a sql server, run a query with the selection as a parameter, and have it return a dataset to the dashboard - eg data is weekly - user selects the 3rd week - data is refreshed for 3rd week

    Chandoo. My congratulations and admiration on setting up such a useful learning web site for Excel.
    I would like to learn more about VBA macros that I can generate through the Excel macro recorder, then customise for particular audiences. For example record the creation of a pivot table, but then adapt the code to refer to any size table in a different spreadsheet. ( I know how to do this, but it took a lot of searching to find the answer)

    I also have a problem that I have to create macros for running on Excel 2007, but I have Excel 2010 and have to recreate the macro on another machine. Is there a way I can create macros for Excel 2007 using Excel 2010?
    Many thanks Chandoo
    Peter

    Thank you.

  118. vlad says:

    VBA, Stats, Dynamic Arrays

  119. Leon says:

    Well, after a quick scan of the posts so far, VBA and Dashboarding appear to be the most called for.

    I'm surprised as these areas are extensively covered in both the free site and and training packages. So, I don't think I have much of a chance in requesting methods of analysis from multiple worksheets extracted from relational databases. However, I'll still submit my request and hope for the best.

  120. Hedieh says:

    I found a post on your site on how to avoid circular reference when modelling debt during construction using macros very useful, so more posts on using VBA Macros in Financial Modeling will be useful. I would also like to have your general view on using macros in financial modelling. Some experts say that it's best to avoid macros and circular reference by using simple algebra. What's your take on that? Thanks

  152. Pablo says:

    One can always learn something new and interesitng in all the areas listed here, what it matters is how to apply that to the daily job; in my case, Finance and Accounting. So what I like about Chandoo web site is the clever, simple and direct approach of applying Excel tools to solve the problems we encounter often.
    With that said, a little exploration of those two will be great:
    - Statistical Analysis (regression, time series etc.)
    - Scenarios, What if analysis
    Thanks,
    Pablo

    Next step on Pivot Tables. I think people know how to create them and basic use but the next step will be is to apply them to create graphs and dashboard. I believe that making tables and charts interactive makes one "awesome in excel"

    Chandoo - Thanks to you and others who contribute to this site. It has been a tremendous help to me. It would be great to learn to better leverage statistical tools within Excel and probably some tips and tricks on maintaining file size and speed within a excel spreadsheet.

    For e.g. cleaning up various tabs and maintaining the file size(Formatting, unneeded conditional formatting, unneeded rows/columns), knowing impact of certain formulas that slow down calcs in a large file, best use of vlookups, how to reference data on other sheets (best practice) and tools to identify bottle necks within a spreadsheet, etc.

  184. Roy Camden says:

    I keep a lot of blocks of text in Excel cells. They range in size from a few characters to many thousands. I would like to know some work around methods for displaying beyond the 1000 character limit on the spreadsheet. A jagged approach would be using len(), but that might split a word, perhaps a " " near the break point, Anything simpler?

    Thanks,

    Roy

    I would like to learn shortcuts to enter data into cells of a Data Entry Form... Such as DropDown menus, Date Picker Calendar, Default entries, automatic formatting of telephone numbers or postal codes, etc. any ways that would speed up the process of inputting data into an Excel Speadsheet Data Table and also prevent errors by narrowing the type of entries that can be entered into a specific cell. A Date Picker is essential in this case as it can be very time consuming to input dates into a cell... as well as I would like a way to enter 10 numbers into a cell that would automatically be converted into a telephone format like (123) 456-7890 into the data table. I have created my own Data Entry Form as a separate sheet so the formatting in some cases could possibly be done as I Save each record to the Data Table using a Macro (VBA Procedure). I am using Excel 2010. Thank you Chandoo.
