It is megaphone time at Chandoo.org. I have a few quick announcements about upcoming training programs & other interesting stuff. Just read on 🙂

3. New Excel Formula Crash Course – Coming this Wednesday, 17 August
Excel formulas have confused one too many of us. It took me more than an year to understand simple formulas like IF & VLOOKUP and use them effectively. That is why, I created this course. It is easy to follow, simple to digest and yet power-packed with lots of ideas & information. The aim of this course is to make you a master of Excel formulas in 31 days. The course has 6 modules,
- Formula Basics
- Lookup Formulas
- Text Formulas
- Date & Time Formulas
- Advanced Formulas
- Errors, Auditing & More
For more information, please watch this short video:
4. Excel School Prices Going up!
I have created Excel School online training program in Jan 2010. Ever since, we have trained more than 1500 people thru this program. Every week, I get emails from our students telling me how much they have gained from this program and how they are able to impress everyone at their workplace. During the same time, I have been adding new content to this program to make it perfect. And now time has come to hike the course fees to match the value it delivers. Starting Monday, August 29, Excel School prices will be going up. See the below table to understand new prices. And join us now if you want to save money.

| Excel School DASHBOARDS Option | $197 | $247 | Join Now |
5. Recommended Live Training: Excel Power Analyst Bootcamp in Washington DC, USA on September 19th
My good friend, teacher & fellow Excel blogger, Mike Alexander runs Excel Power Analyst Bootcamps every year. This year, he is doing it on September 19 & 20 in Alexandria, VA (few minutes away from Washington DC). Now, few days back, Mike emailed and asked if I can suggest this program to my readers. I agree with pretty much everything Mike does (except the heart-attack prone bacon recipes he suggests). So here I am recommending his course. I have attended a few webinars Mike did and I can vouch for the amazing knowledge he shares with us. He is a natural teacher and you are going to love the time you spend with him. So if you happen to be near Alexandria (VA) and want to learn Excel, then go for his bootcamp.
Click here to sign-up for Mike’s Excel Power Analyst Bootcamp.
PS: I do not get any money out of this recommendation. However, Mike promised to do a guest lecture in our upcoming VBA Class. But I would have recommended this bootcamp even otherwise 🙂
End of Announcements!
I wish you an awesome week ahead 🙂

Ciao Hui,
Collecting Excel tricks under the title “Notable Excel Websites (Non-MVP) Edition” is a brilliant idea…
Thank you in the name of all The FrankensTeam.
On our site there is a box with a picture and text highlighting:
This is a no-MVP site
we think ourselves “bad boys” a bit 🙂
For those who would like to know why our site is a no-MVP site, enough to click on the link:

Thank you again!
Thanks a lot
I really enjoyed this (newsletter). I must admit that I rarely read an Excel newsletter (and I subscribe to quite a few) all the way though, but this grabbed my attention and before I realized it, I was engrossed in it. I must also admit that most of this I don’t understand, yet. But, it excites me when I do learn something new in Excel. I can’t wait to see how much of this I can implement into my (constantly-evolving) ‘House Budget’ & ‘Family Medical’ worksheets that I have developed over the past few years! I sure hope to see more of these type of newsletters in the future! Thanks!
Thanks for doing this Hui! I appreciate being included.
I like Tom’s tip a lot. I posted about a tool I wrote to automate this at http://yoursumbuddy.com/tables-edit-query-dialog/
EXCELLENT !
Hui, This post is Superb! More over I have always been a fan of Roberto’s work and have learnt a lot from him.

I like the Excel Ninja Menus.
1. Select a cell or range then move till the 4-way cross appears. Right-Click and drag the selection to another place in the worksheet then, like a ninja, a menu full of skills and throwing stars pops up allowing me to do all kinds of awesomeness.
2. When you click the fill box on a Date and right click and drag it down, a lot of amazing Date options pop up.
I also brand my Excel to remind myself that I’m awesome. In my personal macro workbook I place the following code.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Caption = “SuperKrishna’s Awesomeness”
End Sub
My favorite tip goes along with #17. If you try to copy subtotaled data (and in earlier Excel versions filtered data),when you paste it all the data displays instead of just the summarized data.
To get around this, select your summarized data, click on Find and Select tab and then select Go to Special. Click Visible cells Only and click OK. Now paste and you will see that only the summarized data has been copied.
You can also go CTRL+G and then click the Special icon at the bottom of the dialog box.
What a great idea, Chandoo! I’d love to be included in your next edition:) Perhaps a VBA exclusive version?
@Ryan
I will review this concept about 6 months out from the original post and be sure to keep your site in mind
Hui…
That sounds great, Hui:) I just realized I gave credit to Chandoo for the idea and I should have attributed it to you.
Sorry about that!
