It is no secret that our readers are awesome. We have tons of creative, passionate & caring members in our community who just kick ass day in day out. Look at the comments in any post and you are going to find amazing display of skill, intelligence and mastery of Excel craft. To celebrate all this, we are going to dedicate this week (August 2nd thru 6th) as Reader Awesomeness Week.
What is Reader Awesomeness Week?
Through out this week, I am going to share excel workbooks, ideas, tips & tricks that our readers have submitted to me. First 3 days (Tuesday thru Thursday) I will be posting the following contributions I already received thru Email.
- Immigrants in Denmark – An info-graphic poster made in Excel by Faheem
- Travel Site Dashboard by Francis
- Rules for Making Better Models in Excel by Larry
On Friday, I will be posting all the tips, downloads submitted by you.
How I can Participate in RAW?
You have 3 ways to be awesome this week.
- Submit a tip
- Submit a downloadable workbook
- Submit anything else
Just go to this online form and fill up the details.
Are there any rules?
We, at Chandoo.org hate to be pedantic. But since, many of you are going to email and ask “is xxx ok?”, I am listing a few general rules:
- No personal / sensitive data: Make sure you randomize the data in your files and remove all personal data.
- Upload your work to a public site: Use a site like skydrive, rapidshare or google docs to upload your excel files or images. Then share the url.
- Be descriptive: Elaborate your tip so that it is clear for rest of us.
- Tell us your story: Dont just tell the tip, tell how you used it to be awesome. I want to know you and how you work.
- Repetition is OK: You can repeat an existing tip / idea on Chandoo.org as long as you add a new twist, new implementation to it.
- Copying is NOT OK: Do not copy others work or paste stuff from elsewhere.
Go on be awesome 🙂
Go ahead, contribute to Reader Awesomeness Week and show us how generous you are. Share your tips / downloads today.
If you cannot access the form:

PS: Regular broadcast will be on hold this week. But I promise you the content you read this week is going to be much more better than what I write 🙂

Wow! What a Powerful article!
Hello Chandoo Sir
your file does not work with Excel 2016.
how can I try my hands on this powerful nest egg file ?
thanks

@Ravi... this is a Power BI workbook. You need Power BI Desktop to view it. See the below tutorial to understand what Power BI is:

As always, superb article Chandoo... 🙂
Just one minor issue:
While following your steps and replicating this calculator in PowerBI, I found that the Growth Pct Parameters should be set as "Decimal number" not "Whole Number"
OR
we have to make corresponding adjustments in the Forecast formulas (i.e. divide by 100) to get accurate results.
You are right. I used whole number but modified the auto created harvester measure with /100 at end. Sorry I did not mention it in the tutorial.
Instead of
[Growth Pct 1 Value]/12
the monthly rate has to be
(1+[Growth Pct 1 Value])^(1/12)-1
It's a slight difference but in 30 years the future value will be $100k less.
