How I used Excel to Win an X Box

I have read a few Excel books over the year, and go to http://www.mrexcel.com if I ever have something I’m trying to figure out or searching for something new to learn.  “Mr Excel” does daily podcasts and also has a few challenges every year.  In May, there was one where you had to use Excel’s newest add in, PowerPivot, alongside your own data set to create a dashboard.  The winning prize (there would be 2) was an XBox 360 with the Kinect.  I figured this would be a great prize for Bennie when she gets a little older.  After all, there is a “Melmo” game .

And in the meantime, I did hear Tiger Woods has Augusta this year, so who knows?  Take a look at the link to see the read up on my #winning (Charlie Sheen voice).  Pay close attention to the legend pictures on the SEC chart, I was very proud of that.

I’m always looking for Excel and Access consulting jobs, so if you’re interested, let me know.  I’m working on a testimonial page with examples to show the type of work I can do.

Enjoy!
