My name is Antony Pihut. I have 20+ years of experience in Finance in various roles and across many industries. The entire journey I was accompanied by Microsoft Excel. I started in 1996 when everybody was learning how to use Windows 3.1. I built my first AvBActual versus Budget refreshable report in Excel. It was grabbing Budget data in USD from another WSWorksheet and translating it into local currency. It was grabbing actuals directly from the system (Exact Software through their Excel Addin) by cost centre and by month.
In the companies I used to work I built Excel models that lived long after my departure. Throughout my career I was helping my colleagues be more efficient, achieve more results faster and with less effort. My colleagues always were approaching me for a help. They realized I possess wealth of knowledge but they are getting it by piecemeal and asked me to organize short training for them on a weekly basis.
I evolved to a point when I am ready to offer my expertise to a larger audience than my team, therefore I launched this website. Powerexcel.ca is for people eager to learn and for people that get annoyed with repetitive manual tasks. Unlike other Microsoft MVPMost Valuable Professionals offering most advanced and exotic Excel features on their websites, I will do my best to get you started in Excel.
