Hello all. I'm Don from San Antonio TX. I am an insurance executive at a large regional agency headquartered in Houston. The first thing I'd like to do is thank Chandoo and all of you, his faithful followers, for all the great information, tips, tricks and snippets that I have pilfered through the years and called my own . Over the years I have flirted with numerous XL forums and even dated a few but I find myself more and more, back on Chandoo's doorstep so I thought it time to make a commitment.
So enough of the plattitudes...
The first time I used Excel, I had to load it with using about a dozen 5.25" floppies. For most of the time since, I've been the "go to" guy for all things Excel. Ironically, I spent all of that time in non-technical postitions...mostly sales...but I always seem to run across business needs and problems that could only be solved with a good speadsheet. I've built dozens of proposal systems, dashboards, accounting and financial systems and even a few sales dashboards in those years and can say that many of them were/are still in use long after my departure.
I am starting two projects that overlap: 1.) Develop a system to analyse variences and disccrepencies in commissions receivables. This includes looking back at 2 years of recievables...about 100k line items... 2) Build a multi-level inteactive sales dashboard to be used by our officers, sales execs and account manages.
Thank you all in advance and I look forward to seeing you in the forums.
Cheers,
Don
