Whenever you have an Excel question there is a quite straightforward algorithm to find an answer. So read it, learn it and use it:

Press F1, type in keywords in a search field and hit enter.

Excel has a very good Help pages with detailed description of all tools and features with illustrations and examples.
Google your question.

Excel is not a new application; there are lots of great sites, blogs, forums and conferences dedicated to Excel issues, some of them you may find at my Links page.
Mail your question to me (or to some other experienced Excel user).

Bonus Tip

Thing is that this algorithm can be applied almost to all applications. Enjoy.

It is almost two months since my last post. I didn’t forget about this blog, I just was busy a little bit (work, studies etc). But from now I will try to be more consistent and post something at least weekly.

By the way I’ve got a new job. Starting 5th May I work for Grant Thornton Ukraine. Yesterday I had my last ACCA exam this summer, so from now I won’t spend all days and nights studying… at least for a while. At the moment I have only my degree work left. And next Monday I will deal with that too.

All these facts mean that I will have more free time to code, blog and do other cool stuff.

See you soon.

I’m pleased to announce that I set up my blog with Google Friend Connect. While I was working on this problem I realized that I will face lots of issues connected with WordPress (due to the fact that I’m blogging using it :)). Which means that from now this blog will cover not only Excel and around Excel programming topics but WordPress topics also. For a start please check out my FriendConnect Login Plugin :).

Hello world!!!
