The Instructor Makes the Difference

When it comes to one-on-one Microsoft Excel training, the instructor matters very much. You want someone who can meet you where you are in terms of what you know, and what you need to know. One that is patient, one that knows how to teach, one that knows Excel inside and out. And one that can go slow when needed.

You need an Excel trainer that can sense when you are learning, when you are frustrated. One that knows when to back up a bit, and to review a topic. One that focuses on you and your learning experience.
You need an Excel trainer that can answer all of your questions, not one that says, “Let me research that.” Hence, work with an Excel MVP, they know pretty much everything in Excel.

Our Opinion: Microsoft Excel training does not need to be stressful. Rather, make it a joy, work with one of our personable Excel trainers.

When it comes to Microsoft Excel, the Microsoft certified Excel MVP’s are the Excel subject matter experts. Many of these are the best of the best, such as Bob out of our New York office.

The Level of Knowledge of your Excel Trainer Matters

What Should You Learn: There are too many functions, that when used alone, or with other functions, give the same end result. There is the Lookup, HLookup, VLookup, and XLookup for example. Same result as the workaround Index/Match. Which is the best to use, and which do you need to learn?

Depends on Your Needs: Well that is where we come in, we are the Excel experts, and we know what you need to learn. Here we would teach you the XLookup and the VLookup and forget the other lookup functions for the time being.

What we Teach: As the Excel experts, what we will teach you is simple. We will teach you the best functions and methods necessary so you can easily do what your job requires. If you do not need to learn Pivot Tables for instance, we will not spend time teaching you Pivot Tables. We will use that time to teach you what you need to know and nothing else.

Your Training Agenda: We decide what we teach based on decades of experience, and on best practices. We teach you the Best Way to program Microsoft Excel. Our Trainer’s knowledge runs deep, as they are also Excel programmers. All of this strictly based on what you need to learn for your job.

When it comes to Microsoft Excel Training, the Agenda Matters

There are over 500 Functions in Excel. Of those, how many do you really need to learn? How many will you actually use? And how many should you use? Don’t learn all 500; learn the ones you need to learn.

For an intermediate user, that may be 10-15, maybe 20 functions? Initially, not many more than that.

But most open to the public Excel training classes are using a canned agenda of topics that have nothing to do with the work you will be doing. They are like a fast-food burger chain, just pump it out on volume with low-cost ingredients. As a result you spend a lot of time and money, learning things you will most likely never use. What a waste. Instead, get a Smarter Microsoft Training Solution, learn strictly what you need to use at work.

Image from Google on "How many excel formulas are there". Says 45, now there are over 500 Excel functions if you can the new Dynamic Array Functions.

You only need to learn 10-15% of the Functions/Formulas available in Microsoft Excel. You should have a base group of 10-20 Excel functions you use regularly. If needed you can always add another one.

There is literally no need to learn many of the Excel functions that are being taught in canned Excel classes. Screwdriver, hammer, wrench, how many tools does one need to do the job properly. How many of that 100-piece socket set do you really need, 4 or 5? You most likely only need the standard ones.

When it comes to Excel training, you can quickly see that the agenda matters. Are you being taught topics simply for the act of teaching, or are you being taught topics you will need to use? The agenda matters.

Excel Training Agenda: Focused on teaching you what you need to learn for your job

Most likely you are interested in one-on-one Excel training, because you want to improve your Excel programming skills, for your job. That is why most companies hire us, to up the skills of their staff.

Excel Instructor’s Thoughts: Make sure to learn the right materials, the right functions, and the best practices. Learn the rest, if ever needed. But start with a solid foundation, always using best practices. Focus on the most powerful tools for the job.

There is so much to learn in MS Excel, you could spend months in classes. Let’s stick to what you need to learn and do it in hours, not days.

Example of the Most Commonly Used Excel Functions:

Sum, Average, Multiply – Beginner.
Count, CountA, etc. – Beginner.
Xlookup, VLookup.
Match, XMatch, etc.
SumIfs, CountIfs, AverageIfs, etc.
IF, IFS, TextBefore, TextAfter, TextJoin, TextSplit, etc.
New Dynamic Array Functions Simplify Excel Programming:
1. ChooseCols, Unique, Filter, Sort, VStack, Tranpose, Sequence, ToCols, etc.
  1. Expert’s Opinion: ChooseCols, Unique, Filter, & SortBy, when used together simplify Interactive Reporting.
    1. =UNIQUE(SORT(FILTER(CHOOSECOLS(P7:P23,1),$P$7:$P$23<>0),1,1))

Excel Programming Expert Note: Several of the actions performed by these functions can now be done with FlashFill, such as TextJoin. But without the need to use a formula, just as with the Remove Duplicates button. Game changers folks.

Our Opinion: we do not think there are an advanced formulas or functions; just intermediate ones. What makes Functions advanced is when you combine two or more of them into one function.

We Focus the Agenda on you: This cuts the training in half. Give us 3-5 hours and we will change how you work in Excel. Want to be the Office Excel Guru, we can get your there, based on using the proper training agenda for your needs; the training agenda matters.

Work with the Nation’s Top Excel Trainers

There are all sorts of Excel trainers out there. So many to choose from. Expensive ones, cheap ones, local ones, foreign ones, experienced ones, inexperienced ones. How do you decide?

In our opinion it is best to hire one that has been programming in Excel for 20 or more years. One that offers one-on-one Excel training. As one-on-one Excel training is simply the best way to learn Excel.

Our Trainers: Our clients have worked with many Microsoft Excel MVP’s over the past 15-years. Many of our clients have worked with Dennis Taylor of Lynda.Com and LinkedIn Learning. Top Tier Excel experts.

Dennis and Bob are in my mind two of the best Excel trainers in the country. Both are legendary: Few have done it longer or better.

Our Senior Excel Trainers started programming Excel in 1985, as did I.

All of our Excel trainers come from a career of Excel programming.

Depth of Talent: The talent of the Excel MVP’s is so good it led to a series of programming projects with the Microsoft Corporation. Our first project with Microsoft was to work on their 2013 Upwork project. Two of our Excel MVP’s programmed Excel templates for Microsoft Excel 2013. Our work was included in Microsoft Excel 2013, as well as being available for download on the Microsoft website. That is some talent.

Excel MVP’s: One of our Excel MVP’s was eventually hired directly to work at Microsoft on the Excel Team, how amazing is that! Another is the MVP of MVP’s. These Excel experts are some of the top talents in the country, we are happy to provide experts of such talent to our clients.

Microsoft hired us to program Excel templates included in Microsoft Excel 2013 see Case Study.,

The Best Way to Learn Microsoft Excel

There are all sorts of Excel training classes out there. There are large group classes, small group workshops, online webinars, and then there is one-on-one Excel training. Of the options available, we think the 1 on 1 training is the best way to go.

Why is one-on-one Excel training the best way to learn Excel? It is you and the instructor, 100% focused on you and what you need to learn. This is not canned Excel training; this is 100% based on your exact needs.

What will we teach you? We will not know until we speak with you, to build your agenda.

What Makes personalized Excel training so effective?

No need to leave the office, or to get all dressed up, we do this remotely, using Zoom.
We go over the materials that you need to learn, nothing else.
We go at your pace, we do each subject until you have learned the lesson, then we move on.
We work in your Excel file, one you are familiar with.
We give homework, to make sure you learn the materials.
1. For those that want it (Optional).
Finally, we provide a recording of the training session, so that you may practice what was taught, on your schedule.

I arranged for two 1.5 hour sessions on Microsoft Excel Tips and Tricks sessions for my organization in January 2021. I am 100% satisfied with the service. Chris and Maria were very responsive to my initial inquiries and helping me with setting up the virtual sessions. This company provide consulting services on various applications and I liked how I was able to customize my sessions by selecting the tips and tricks to be shared- it was 100% customizable.Our trainer, Bob Umlas, was superb in the delivery of both sessions. He provided an Excel workbook and shared his screen to show all the tips and tricks on how to use Excel more efficiently. The sessions were also recorded so that staff could rewatch the lessons again at a later date. Overall I was very please with the company's services and would work with this company again should future opportunities arise.

Jacob was fantastic to work with. I was tasked with developing an easy way to track our Corporate Training across all departments and positions based on company requirements and hire date. I knew there had to be a way to do it in Excel with formulas, but it was way above my skill set. I contacted Excel and Access, and they listened to my needs and paired me with Jacob. He was very responsive and was quickly able to come up with precisely what I needed. He was great at making the necessary tweaks, including creating a “GENERATE” button in bright red so that I couldn’t miss it. I can now run all of my reports with all of my different conditions with the click of that big beautiful red GENERATE button. I will definitely reach out to Excel and Access and Jacob for my future needs.

I'm not Pepsi, Amazon or any of their big clients...just a guy with a small, boutique private psychology practice 3,000 miles away in NY. Every time I need these guys they are there...got my project started ASAP, turn around time was amazing and best of all, any and all tweaks were handled ASAP until we got all the bugs out. Admittedly I was afraid we'd settle on a price and I might not be able to make edits. But no worries - each and every edit, debug done with a virtual smile and ASAP. Well worth the money and they won't disappoint. A pleasure to write a positive review for them!

I had an Excel problem that I could not crack without extreme effort on my part. I contacted Excel and Access via email. I received a prompt response then described my problem and indicated that I really wanted to remunerate them for their (Christopher and Jacob) time and effort. They honed in on my problem description with only 2 very helpful emails that showed me how to solve my problem. I was very impressed and grateful. There was never a mention of any charges. They are consummate professionals. I can see why they are Microsoft MVP's.

Our experience with Excel and Access. LLC was excellent. Chris and his team of very skilled professionals were able to help us out immediately. After just a brief discussion of the project we hired them for, they completed the work and exceeded our expectations in just hours. I have used Chris and his team on numerous projects over the span of 10 years. I am consistently impressed with how quick the payback is, and how well his team understands my requirements and delivers a product that exceeds my expectations. His team is always available anytime of day or night to help or answer questions.

I had the pleasure of working with Excel & Access on a very intricate Excel project involving a massive spreadsheet that housed years’ worth of data. After having two other firms take on the project and then bail, I was panicked and desperate to get the project completed in what was now a very tight time frame. I worked with Christopher and Jacob and couldn’t be more delighted with the level of customer service I received. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable, and also incredibly responsive. My e-mails were answered immediately and the project was completed quickly, ahead of my deadline, thanks to his working nights and even over the weekend to get it done. I felt as if I were the only client he was working with at the time! Jacob made a difficult, tedious assignment look like child’s play. Excel & Access are fabulous to work with and are now my go-to for any Excel need, large or small. Good customer service is difficult to come by, but they nail it! If you are looking for help with an Excel project, I recommend Excel & Access without reservation. You won’t be disappointed.
