Welcome to Chandoo.org. A short introduction to this website

blogging - 117 comments

Welcome to Chandoo.orgOver the last few weeks we have seen huge influx of new members to our little blog. It is good time I said hello and introduced my site to you.

PS: If you have been at chandoo.org for a while, you can still find a good link or nugget in this post. So read on.

What is this website really?

This site is about Microsoft Excel & how you can become awesome while using it. I stress the second part because that is really what my site is about. Making you awesome.

So how does Chandoo.org really make you awesome?

Simple. I do this using 4 key methods:

1. Share awesome tips, tutorials, downloads thru this blog

3 or 4 times week, I write about various creative  & productive ways in which you can use Excel to become awesome at what you do.

You can get latest articles by signing up for my FREE news letter. You can also read this blog thru any RSS reader. When you join my newsletter, you get a free e-book with 95 excel tips.

But joining my newsletter or subscribing to RSS feeds can only give you future posts. There is a ton of useful information, tutorials & tips buried in the archives of this blog. You see, I have been writing about excel for almost 3 years now.  Please check out,

and follow the links there. Get your sunglasses, because the awesomeness is blinding!

2. Sell awesome products based on Excel

I sell Excel templates for awesome project management, an e-book for learning formulas & a wedding planner template. These products are crafted with so much passion. More than 1000 customers have bought these from me and have enhanced their productivity and became heros in front of their bosses & colleagues.

I encourage you to consider getting a copy of one of my products. Visit our shop.

3. Conduct awesome training programs

I conduct 2 online training programs.

Excel School – for learning Excel

Once every 3 months I run Excel School. This program makes beginner & intermediate level excel users awesome. We have more than 24 hours of video lessons, 45+ downloadable example files & awesome learning experience. More than 650 students have enrolled in previous 3 batches and next batch will be opening in Jan 2011.

Click here to join Excel School newsletter & get 3 free video lessons.

Financial Modeling School

As the name suggests, Financial Modeling School teaches you how to make Excel based financial models from scratch. I run this program in collaboration with Pristine Careers. Just like Excel School, this too, opens once every 3 months. Next batch will be in Feb 2011.

Click here to learn more about Financial Modeling School.

4. Running an awesome Excel Forum

The format of blog doesn’t work well if you have specific questions. So I have started an excel forum few months back. It has been an awesome learning experience ever since. Every day, we get lots of new, challenging excel related questions from all over the world.

Go ahead and register in our forums. And ask a question (or answer one).

Who am I…?

Do not worry, I am not having bouts of amnesia or anything. My name is Purna Duggirala. Chandoo is my nickname. I have used the same for registering a domain several years back.

After working for a few years as a business analyst with India’s leading IT company, I quit in April 2010 to make this website my full time work. You can read the back story here. Also, you are welcome to read my adventures in entrepreneurship at Startup Desi.

I am happily married to Jo, my college sweetheart and love of life. In September 2009, we became parents to twins – a boy and a girl. Nishanth (boy) & Nakshatra are as naughty, hilarious & lovable as they come. And our life is even more beautiful ever since.

We live in Vizag, a small coastal town in south east part of India. [more…]

How to use this website?

This site is awesome because you are awesome. We learn from each other, share what we know, be respectful to others & have a sense of humor. We love to make mistakes and improve every day.

The following is a best way to use this site and become awesome,

  • Join the newsletter or add this site to RSS newsreader.
  • Each article has a comments section. Make sure you read the comments and respond / ask any questions related to that topic.
  • If you are looking for a specific topic, idea or article, use search box. It is on top right on all pages of this site.
  • If you want to explore and learn more, visit archives page and click on a random month. Start reading.
  • Play with downloadable excel files. Modify formulas or break the contents to understand how it works.
  • Have a read of chandoo.org policies
  • Check out contact details if you want to get in touch with me.

Once again, Welcome to Chandoo.org

Thank you so much for visiting my site. I wish you become awesome in not just Excel, but everything else you do.

    HI C,
    I read your article on MSN. Your are the man. I would like to share a small story about excel " I was working for HP and company organised a excel traning. The tutor asked us to rate 1(least) to 10(best) each one of us about our excel knowledge. I rated myself as 7.
    Later tutor gave a small test to all of us which non of us passed. Then I realised that I should have rated my self as 0." Since then I'm putting lot of effort to get bettter in excel. I migrated to Australia and working as analyst where I'm using excel knowledge to make a place for me. But you are simply superbbbb still need learn so many thing from people like you. All the best for you. I will be regular visitor in chandoo.org

  18. Abani Kumar Nayak says:

    Hi. Hope all of your families are fine and doing well.I came to know about you as well as your innovative ideas from msn.com. I completely agree with you that in b-schools, it is not taught to start a small business. Because when I completed my MBA from Amity B-School, immediately I got an opportunity and I worked there for one year. Finally I decided to establish a school in my village and I have been running a school since this April 5th 2010. Your ideas are so simple but bearing a lot of commitment with honesty and clear. Your marketing concept is highly appreciated as you take care of all the stake holder's interests who are involving in the process. Specially to the end users.

    Wish you all the best for your future wishes.

    I have read your success story on msn yesterday.First of all "Congrats" & "All the Best" for your future.I feelYour story is very inspiring . Yesterday I have told ur story to my husband. I am also very excited to do something like you.Plz. give some suggestion on your site how we will make success like you.

  38. Dr.V.G.Kamath says:

    Congratulations on your success
    Some important points which helped you I feel are:
    1. Your determination and confidence in yourself
    2. Your basic knowledge of the subject and open mind to learn and update.
    3. Understanding the basic requirement to succeed and earn more money by marketing your talent to the world population through BLOG
    4. Using the right time period to start additional on line tutorials and Other tools to switch over and start earning money through the international community.
    5. Marketing your product to the right people at the right time.
    6. Changing over from regular job to devote time on your new bussiness activity.
    7. Living in a smaller city makes no difference to the bussiness as it is done through internet. in fact it may be an advantage as the cost is lower.
    8.Any other subject can also get the same result with dedicated work, targeting the right group of people for end use, and utilising the fact that you have to market the products and not just distribute it free to people.
    9. Keeping the growth rate and continuing the business also requires probably a different startegy.
    I was very much impressed and Kudos to you for making money while still pursuing your passion and learning the basic strategy to start bussiness from scratch.

    Good luck to you

    Dear Mr & Mrs Chandoo,
    My Salutations to both of you. It requires real guts and commitment to resign a plum job and comfortable life in US and do what you are really passionate about in your home towm vizag. As the old saying goes" behind every successful man their is a woman", I really appreciate Madam Chandoo's steadfast support in your life's up and downs. May God wish You and your family all success, wealth, Peace, health and happiness .
    I am really surprised, you are a using a simple day to day MS excel to the core, which even the creators of excel would'nt have expected. Now That is out of box thinking. I also liked the way you shared your experiences honestly with simplicity on MSN.com, a rarity now a days in India. Please keep it up, India is proud of you. Regards, Vivek.

  43. Pedro Wave says:

    A question Chandoo, to do the wedding planner template that you are selling, have you read "The Marriage Bureau for Rich People"?
    It's a book written by Farahad Zama born in your Vizag city.
    Now I'm reading another awesome Indian big book about your customs: "A Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth. It's a Mega-bit of story.

  44. Gaurav Singh says:

  58. S Ram says:

    Hi Chandoo,

    It is a fabulous story of a MBA guy quitting a plush job and opting to start a Blog and earn millions. It takes lot of guts to jump into the fray despite the uncertainy of assured income which a regular job offers. Congratulations for your bold decision. There is a adage which goes thus : " If you do not take risks, you will not know what you are capable of ".

    I think all youngsters should take a cue from you and your life-cum-business partner and explore hitherto unknown greener pastures by innovation and creativity, the like of which you have displayed in immense measure. People invest millions to start a venture but your investment of intellect and wisdom in shaping your business and making it hugely profitable is an example which the youngsters would do well to emulate instead of cribbing about not getting a suitable job or not being able to go up the ladder in their work-places.

    I heartily compliment you and your wife and wish you carve a niche for yourselves in the blogging arena. May your pursuits enlighten more and more people not about Excel but on varied topics which you are involved in propagating. Kudos !!!

  59. S Ram says:

    Corrigendum

    The last sentence in my comment should read as :

  67. sirisha says:

    Hi sir
    I am a 2010 B.tech (cse) pass out
    My cousin always told me to learn some video tutorials of Excel but I thought why he forces to do so, Excel is used only to enter accounts and for that what I know is enough.
    But reading your Interview in AndhraJyothi today I came to that there is much more to learn and what I know is just a drop of water in the ocean and we can make our career through Excel. Still now I didn't follow my cousin's advice but from now I am very much inspired. I will start learning excel from today. Thankyou so much.

    "Hi Chandoo,
    I Have a Question to you is this possible to count alfabets as
    A
    A
    B
    B
    V
    count should be 3 becouse A is 1 , B is 1 And V is one"
    Please tell me if possible

  84. Hui... says:

    @Aas
    If your values are in A1:A5 you can use
    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A1:A5,A1:A5,0),MATCH(A1:A5,A1:A5,0))>0,1))
    .
    Although I would use a named range
    Data: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!A:A),1)
    .
    and then use
    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(Data,Data,0),MATCH(Data, Data,0))>0,1))

  85. Aas Mohammad says:

    HI Hui,
    Thanks for your quick responce you realy helped on that prospective but when i apply that formula in a list where some cell are blank also like below
    A
    A

    B
    B

  86. Hui... says:

    @Aas
    Try this Arrray Formula
    .
    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(LEN(A1:A10)>0,MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0),""), IF(LEN(A1:A10)>0,MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0),""))>0,1))
    .
    You need to enter it using Ctrl Shift Enter

  87. Aas Mohammad says:

    HI Hui,

    Use the Linked Cell to extract the record you want to chart
    Chart it

  102. Krishna says:

    Hello Chandoo,
    I am a retired electrical engineer. I am fascinated by computer applications, and after retirement I took up learning them seriously. I am staying with my son and family in Seattle, WA. My son, who works for Microsoft, forwarded me your site address. I am glad that you have started this venture and I wish you all the success.
    I am working with Excel applications for the past 10 years and today I am working as a Data Analyst with an engineering company here. I never cease to wonder what Excel can offer you in the world of data processing. VBA is such a great tool that makes tedious data processing jobs a joy to perform.
    I plan to follow the posts and discussions on your site and seek advice from the community.

  103. Tony says:

    Hi, I'm Tony in the Middle East. A senior PM in a multi disciplinary consultancy Co, and came upon your website quite by chance. I have over the years created Excel spreadsheets that track a project accurately, and include various Activities, Time and Resourses. The spreadsheet continues to monitor the progression of the project and highlights where any resourse may be using too much time, expense. It equally monitors various 'Estimates to Completion' which the options can be numerious, but allows the user to diffrenciate between time, cost and resourses available. I have password protected the spreadsheet as the are over 40,000 cells with complex formulae, containing up to 8 different arguments, spreading across 15 different sheets. The unlocked cells are the only place where a user can enter information. My problem is that users want to be able to hide/unhide rows/columns when printing. But because I have right protected the doc, this function is not accessable. I would appreciate your valued assistance in this regard. Thanking you in advance. Tony
