Some of you know that I run an online Excel training program – Excel School. This program has 24 hours of detailed, step-by-step, fun & very useful Excel training, all available online so that you can view & learn at your own pace.

What do our students say about Excel School?
I have asked our students & recognized Excel personalities to review & rate our program. You can read a few of those reviews here:
Here is what David says,
Chandoo brings out innovative ways of using Excel formulas. Some are functions I’ve never heard of, and some are formulas I thought I knew. Chandoo shows new ways to use the functions. The lessons are very informative and it is great to have the spreadsheet examples. Being able to download the lessons is great since I will no doubt forget a few things along the way.
Here is what Jesse says,
The downloadable materials are VERY helpful, but even better combined with the very excellent instruction–it’s all the best!
Reghunath says,
Fabulous teaching technique. Your ability to teach basics with simple language is truly appreciable.
Here is what Daniel Ferry from Excelhero.com says,
If you want to develop an amazingly strong skill set in Excel, Excel School is the right place. The online school is first rate, as are the downloadable workbooks and videos. It is obvious from the moment you first log on that Chandoo has worked endlessly for over a year now, designing the perfect curriculum and developing lessons, with the business user in mind.

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.
