No topic is off the table, from favourite functions to Excel pet peeves to how to learn and improve and more. Come and ask a question or just see what others have brought in this open spreadsheet surgery session.

Who should attend?

This session is led by you – so the complexity level is up to the questions you bring in. Anyone with a burning Excel question, or a curiosity to learn more of what the program is capable of, should consider attending.

How will you benefit from attending?

With the full hour dedicated to your questions, we will have plenty of time to dive into whatever issues the audience brings in. David will show his full process for solving problems live, so you can see real Excel in use, not a pre-prepared model or demonstration.
