If you listen carefully, you can hear my screams of joy. I have 2 very happy news to share with you.
- I am speaking at Excelapalooza Excel conference at Dallas (Texas) between September 21 to 24.
- I will be conducting an Advanced Excel, Dashboards & Power Pivot masterclass at Houston (Texas) between September 15 to 18.
Excelapalooza Conference
Ever since I started working as an Excel trainer & blogger for full time, I have felt one gap. There is no dedicated Excel conference (I am sure few one-off events happen here & there, but no large scale networking & knowledge sharing events).
Excelapalooza addresses this gap.
Excelapalooza is an annual Excel conference conducted by BizNet Software (they make Excel based reporting easy for us). This year is the 3rd time they are conducting the conference. And I am absolutely humbled & honored to be speaking at this event. The folks at BizNet are so kind that they made a “Chandoo track” at the conference for my sessions.
I will be talking about:
- How To Select The Right Charts For Your Data (9:40 AM to 10:30 AM on 22nd September, repeat on 23rd)
- 10 Mistakes To Avoid When Making Dashboards (10:40 to 11:30 on 22nd, repeat on 23rd)
- Come, Design Excel Dashboards In An Afternoon (1:00PM to 3:50 PM on 22nd, repeat on 23rd)
Sessions 1 & 2 are presentation style while session 3 is a hands-on lab where all the delegates will be making dashboards along with me.
This conference is a great way to enhance your Excel skills, meet up fellow Excel users, network with them, find latest happenings in the world of Excel based BI, reporting & analysis.

Houston, we have a masterclass!
Since I am flying to Dallas all the way from India to attend Excelapalooza, it makes a lot of sense to do a little more. So I am really happy & excited to announce the one & only Advanced Excel Masterclass for this year in Houston, Texas between 15 & 18th of September, 2014.
What is this masterclass?
This 4 day masterclass is aimed at managers, analysts, reporting professionals, executives in sales, marketing, customer service or anyone who wants to learn about Data Analytics, Advanced Excel, Dashboard reporting. It has 2 parts.
Advanced Excel & Dashboard Reporting (2 days – 15 & 16 of September)
Power Pivot & Data Analytics (2 days – 17 & 18 of September)
What happens in a masterclass?
Our Excel masterclasses are intense, hands-on & fun experiences aimed to sky-rocket your Excel skills (analyzing data, creating awesome dashboards & charts, building amazing Power Pivot models, using Excel efficiently & productively). The masterclasses are hands-on, it means you will be using a computer (we will provide it, but you are welcome to bring your laptop too) and following my instruction along way. Together as a class, we will build cool charts, awesome analytics & dazzling dashboards. (here are 4 dashboards we made in prior masterclasses).
You will get tons of course material (workbooks, pdfs, presentations & cheat-sheets), all your doubts will be answered and you will be well fed (lunch & snacks are provided).
What more, you get to network with fellow Excel users & learn from them.
Please download our masterclass 2014 edition brochure for more info.
How much is it?
The tuition fee for this masterclass is US $1,200 (early bird fee until 31st of July) for each of the 2 sessions (Dashboards & Power Pivot).
If you purchase both classes (Dashboards & Power Pivot), you get $200 discount, thus paying $2,200.

I hope to see you in our masterclass and help you become awesome in Excel. But hurry up, our masterclasses have limited enrollment & sell out fast.
Thank you
I just want to say thank you,for supporting Chandoo.org and making all of this happen. If you have not decided to visit Chandoo.org, learn from us & spread a good word about it, none of this would have happened. Thank you so much for letting me share my knowledge, ideas, mistakes & experiences with you all. You are awesome.

Good one. Another indirect twist to this.
The t-shirt says "My spouse is with stupid" and both of you walk together. The circular reference breaks whenever someone joins you for a chat.
I'd put my left arm inside my shirt and go as the RIGHT function.

I would go with my girl and have her wear a t-shirt say =index("mr. right",match("me","all guys at party",0),1) and i would wear a shirt with two cells with one saying "me" and another saying "mr. right"
I will love to wear:
