It is thanksgiving week in USA, which means our friends & readers in America are enjoying a fun long weekend with family & friends.
Happy thanksgiving day to you and your family.
Since most of our readers will be enjoying the holiday, I want to save Excel awesomeness for next week. Meanwhile, lets have our very first Ask me anything [AMA].
Ask me anything.. what is it?
It is very simple. In the comments section, you can ask me anything. I will reply to you.
Anything from Excel to my life, SUMPRODUCT to C23.. you get the drift.
Go ahead and post your questions. I am waiting…
PS: I have enabled Disqus commenting system on the blog. This makes commenting on Chandoo.org even more awesome.

Your title got me nervous because I'm all about data dumps, but not for attaching graphics to data dumps. My reason for using data dumps is when someone is trying to do analysis and their starting point is a report that's formatted in a way for a human to read. I instruct them to stop with the report and go get a data dump: just rows and columns and rows and columns.
Agreed, nearly all of my reports start with 100+ lines of simple table data.
That way you can build your functionality around pulling information from that tabled information.
Yes yes!
