My book is now available! Across 30 years as a spreadsheet consultant and over 2,000 live webinars I've developed a sense of what many users don't know about Excel but should. This book will help you work smarter! @PacktPublishing @packtauthors amazon.com/Exploring-Micr…

I was told I should have canceled 14 days in advance. There wasn't any way to predict a catastrophic storm 14 days in advance.

Accordingly I will choose my future accommodations through other platforms going forward.

Buyer beware: @AirbnbHelp does not consider natural disasters, such as the "atmospheric river" storm currently pounding California to be a valid reason to cancel a reservation and get a refund.

The area I was going to stay in was affected by tornados, flooding, and hurricane level winds and the schools are closed today. Given the two outcomes, I'd rather be out some cash versus trying to navigate a literal natural disaster.

There's much more to printing spreadsheets than you might think!

I am in discussions to write "Excel for Accountants" (working title) as a follow-up to the book I wrote last year. If yo feel like Excel is pushing you around, my books and webinars help you turn the tide. amazon.com/Exploring-Micr…

@ddalgleish 💯

80% of my photos now are just zoomed-in shots of product instructions 🔍🧐👀

I have a few spare copies of the 7th edition and the 8th edition that I'm happy to share in exchange for good ideas that improve my book.

I'm beginning work on the 9th edition of QuickBooks Online for Dummies. I'm hoping to work more practical solutions for day-to-day problems into the book. What frustrates you about QuickBooks Online? What are you not sure how to do in the software?

@AuroraAdvantage @PacktPublishing @PacktAuthors Thank you! Much of the content arose from my webinars. 😎

@excelwriter @PacktPublishing @PacktAuthors Congratulations David, we will be sure to check it out!

Tell me you don’t know how to use look-up functions in Excel without telling me that you don’t know how to use look-up functions in Excel. I coined the phrase years ago, “Either you work Excel or Excel works you!”

@ddalgleish Wow! There's a lot of great stuff in there! This took me back to my first editors when I started freelancing in the 90s. They were harsh, but I am still eternally grateful for their feedback. I didn't know at the time what a gift it was.

Excellent advice for any writer!

@ddalgleish This is reminiscent of how the street car gets turned around in San Francisco at Fisherman's Wharf. Debra, that's a great write up on how the ground is about to shift seismically for blogs and other content platforms.

How many people does it take to turn a steam train around? My video shows the Wakefield Quebec train turntable, and the 4 train turners! #train #steamtrain debradalgleish.com/blog/2023/02/1…

@ddalgleish Thank you for helping spread the word, Debra!

Looks great, and it’s a FREE masterclass! #Excel

We’ve all experienced a meltdown or two when Microsoft Excel loses hard work that we just completed. Join Gain Control of Your Business’ Finances, a Masterclass series to learn from me how to mitigate that risk! …terclass.getoffthemoneyshametrain.com/david

lol welp

Whoa!

@nkazhin @KenPaulCarroll We don’t click with every person that we encounter, and so of course we won’t click with every book that we pick up. Also we’re often not a part of the intended audience for a given book.

@KenPaulCarroll It's probably easy when the book is outright garbage, but what if you read a book that comes recommended? Or maybe it's dull at the beginning, but what if it picks up the pace soon after but I've already quit?

Abandoning books is a superpower I want to learn in 2023. The last time I left a book unfinished was at 17. The family was on vacation, and my dad's buddy literally stole my book after borrowing it for an hour to "just get a taste". How do you know when & if to abandon a book?

Well, here's a no brainer! :-) My publisher is offering an e-book sale that includes my book, Exploring Microsoft Excel's Hidden Treasures, for $5 each. Price is valid for a limited time, so don't hesitate, grab your copy now: packt.link/cOF9K

@Exceluniversity Clever!

If you have ever created a hyperlink to a worksheet, you may have noticed that your hyperlink can break if you change the worksheet name. This post shows how to use defined names to avoid this type of error 👉 excel-university.com/link-to-sheets… #excel #tutorial #spreadsheet #business
