This course is based on my extensive experience using Excel in business and as a programmer since the 1980s. I used to be a beta tester for Microsoft as part of the Microsoft Developer's Network. I have created  thousands of Excel documents in my career at Accenture, on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs, at the top hedge funds, in the venture capital industry and with the companies I have founded. I provide many downloadable templates based on my work experience that are available to the students that take this course, so I can help you work smarter and not harder when using Excel.
