Moving on…,
As you may know, Chandoo.org offers quite a few Online Excel training programs. Over the last few weeks, many of you have emailed us and asked which training program is best for your situation. This got me thinking. “It should be easy for YOU to know what is best.”
So today morning, I locked my office room, took out my drawing pad and designed the most comprehensive course recommendation engine. It starts with a survey asking you 12 detailed questions. Then we make you go thru an Excel exam with 15 questions to test your proficiency with the tool. Then the engine would do a lot of calculations and finally recommend a list of training programs that suit you.
Then I threw it out.
Because, it was too complex.
Instead, I made a beautiful Excel workbook that asks you only 2 questions and tells you which training programs are best for you.
How our Training Recommender works?
- You tell us about your Excel skill level
- You tell us why you use Excel
- You get a list of recommended courses
- There is no step 4. I just like 4 bullet points for every thing.
How to get your recommendations?
Simple. Click here to download the tool. Open it using Excel 2007 or above. Just answer the 2 questions to see your recommendations.
How does the Training Recommender Work?
I made a short video explaining how the workbook is constructed. Watch it below or on our Youtube Channel.
Do you like the Training Recommender?
I really enjoyed constructing this. It shows what is possible in Excel.
What about you? Do you like this?

Just one small question. Where the hell have been I in the past for not discovering this website sooner?
I've lost a job interview recently where even though I had the subject knowledge, I was not upto their mark in Excel.
Thank you for all the free tips, guidance and for creating this forum environment.

Hy Chandoo, you always inspire me with to explore something new in excel. This data structure table is only for excel 2007 or compatible to 2010. I recently installed latest excel version 2013 in my System and experience problems regarding operating according to previous one. I'm waiting your article relates to that excel version.

Nice to see the features considered by Excel users to be most useful. It might be a good idea to also analyze StackOverflow Excel questions to see what keywords appear most often.
