Hello there … Welcome to Pointy Haired Dilbert or PHD as we call it. Here is a quick intro to the site.

What the heck is PHD?

PHD is a blog about excel tips, tech tidbits and business insights. Well, mostly excel tips. I write most of the content while a vibrant and passionate community of readers and participants help each other learn new excel stuff.

Do you really have pointy hair?

Well, that is not the point ;). But FYI, I have curly hair.

Why do you write it?

Because I want YOU to be successful and productive at work. That simple!

I am totally new here, what should I read?
