Hi everyone I am John a small business owner from Redland Bay near Brisbane. I worked in the coal industry for years in marketing and finance jobs and have used Excel almost since it started and before this Lotus123 and Visicalc and Multiplan. But I nearly always used it in a mad panic to get a report or a quick and dirty analysis that was suddenly needed. Now I work in our small business that my wife started and I am really getting to the good stuff like VBA and advanced formulas. Really Excel can do just about everything a small business needs and I have automated rosters, uploading journals to MYOB, stock ordering, time keeping and payroll and other things. I am hoping to do some consulting on the side to help other small businesses so I have become passionate about learning all there is to know that has a practical small business use. I have stuck with 2003 as I thought I should get to a very high level in this before moving to a new release. I might be stuck on 2003 for ever! I love Chandoo's site its one of the very best on Excel I think because it just seems to show how attactive and useful Excel can be in daily life and business if you stay creative.
Cheers
John
