This week’s poll is dead simple. Just tell me since how many years you are using Excel.
I will go first: I have first started using Excel in year 2003 to keep track of my MBA entrance exam preparation. It helped me a lot in recording practice test scores, listing all the mistakes I made and eventually I was able to score very well in one of the toughest exams in India.
So my Excel age is 8 years.
What about you? How long have you been using Excel?
Just post your Excel age in comments. Go!
Check out previous polls.
PS: I am planning to visualize the results in a chart. So please respond.

I have just turned a teenager in Excel years! I started using Excel at the beginning of 1998, having used Lotus-123 before that.
There are some interesting reminiscences from some who were using spreadsheets well before that, in the comments of a blog post I did a couple of weeks ago:
How long have you been using Excel?

I have been using Excel since 1998 when I started my first job. So I’m nearly a teenager!
Two things strike me:
1. I’ve been using Excel for 4 years longer than Chandoo, yet he’s an awesome MVP already and I haven’t received my letter from Microsoft yet….damned postal service.
2. Chandoo, why do you choose to extract data from the comments rather than set up a dedicated poll?

Busymanjohn says:
Been using Excel for around 8-9 years now and used Lotus 1-2-3 before that. Really started getting into Excel and learning how much of a powerful tool it is for the last 4-5 years, so a bit of catching up to do, but I am making my own Interactive Dashboards now ( thanks to Chandoo, Excel User, ClearlyandSimply and a few others who are absolutely awsome ) …. more and more of my expertise with excel is being recognised within my company and will be having discussions with the Education dept. about me spreading my knowledge within the company teaching others on how to utilise Excel to their own benefit. My own personal view is that spreadsheets should be interactive and not just static reports, so I always look to have the user of my spreadsheets interact with them and not just print them off and lying on their desks.

Been using Excel since 1995 (ver 5.x); Quattro Pro for two years before that, and Lotus 1-2-3 for three years before that…
I was hooked onto Excel when I saw a colleague showing off PivotTables in Excel.
I had done a *lot* of programming in QPro as well as 1-2-3, and dreaded the idea of learning a third programming language (VBA).
But it was all well worth the effort ! -

I used Excel on my Mac at work for about 10 minutes in 1991 or 1992. Upgraded to a PC in 1993, used 1-2-3 for a day or two, hated it. Someone in my Office had the Excel disks, installed it, didn’t like it, and switched back to 1-2-3, go figure. So I installed it and it’s been all downhill from there.
So I’ve been a steady user of Excel for 18 years. -
Short answer: 11 years.
Long answer: First started in high school physics (mid-1990s), but didn’t really get into Excel until an internship in college (2000). Then started using it every day in consulting job after college. Way to make me feel inferior about my Excel knowledge, Chandoo! I was fine deferring to you when I thought you’d be at this since Lotus 1-2-3 like all the MVPs. Also, why parse through comments for the data? (my thoughts echo Yard’s (#8) comment above)

OmarF says:
Since 1998, so 13 years.
I did a few years prior to that in Quattro Pro and Lotus 123. I still use some of the keyboard skills I learned back then to get around. The END then ARROW key stuff still works, as does the slash key to jump to menu mode.
Thank goodness for multiple sheets per workbook though.

Started in 1991 for a year, then off to use «wingz» and Lotus 1-2-3 until 1997, then back to excel…and ever since. So I’d say since 1997 plus 1, or 15 years.

I never gave thanks enough to my father for that.

Sachin says:
I first started using Excel in the mid-1990s for calculating changes in stock prices and then for some project management. B-School (2006-2010) brought more excel awesomeness and now I practically live in it. So I guess it’s been about 15 years!
But I’ve learned more in the last 3 months from Chandoo than I did in the previous years combined.

I’ve been working in Excel since I was in college….1990..so 21 years! wow, back then Excel for Microsoft was a black screen with green characters, NO «Undo button»…soooo scary to think about now.

Oh and I, too, worked with Lotus123 and Quattro before Excel.

I just turned 15. I remember it well. I was thrust into Excel in January 1996 at the age of 20 while serving as the financial secretary for Mormon missionaries in Brazil.

Brian Armacost says:
Been using Excel for about 10 years now but the first 8 was for very basic uses. It’s only been in the last 2 years that I’ve really had to start learning and flexing Excel’s muscles, and Chandoo has helped tremendously with that. Still a long way to go though. So I’ll say a born-again Excel user of 2 years.

I switched over from Lotus 1-2-3 in 1988, so my Excel age is 23

I started to really see the potential of the program in 2003, when integrating Excel into a 2nd grade classroom. Excel isn’t just a numbers program, many uses for all age levels, including SWD. Charting and graphing is a staple in an elementary classroom and who does that better than Excel. Now as a trainer my use is in a support role for Higher Education. So, my Excel age is 8 + years!

Visicalc (1983)
Lotus 1984
Symphony 1985-1993
Quattro / Pro late 80s-mid 90s
Excel — 1994 or so — Just after Lotus came out with «Improv» the Excel version that had Pivot Tables came out and I jumped into Excel with both feet — the Pivot Tables were a game changer and a game ender for Lotus which was bought out by IBM within a couple of years after that. The corporate spreadsheet market was ceded to Microsoft. -

Leah says:
I have been using Excel since 1997…. 14 years. Before that I was a die-hard Lotus 123 fan starting in (gulp!) 1985 with Lotus release 1! I even tinkered with Supercalc and Appleworks before that. So, with spreadsheets it’s been at least 26 years! I attribute my career success to my Excel and spreadsheet skills… but you can never stop learning new things. That’s why I love this site! Thanks!

Hey Chandoo. Great question! 😉 I was introduced to Spreadsheets during my 3 Year Education from 91 to 94. At that Time Lotus was King but I have been introduced to Excel shortly After that so I assume that I’m an Excel Teen. But really Started using it intensely since 2000 or so.
-
Since 1987 on the PC, so 24 years continuously.
But I tried it on the Mac in 1985 when it first came out, so that would be 26 years.

Very rough guess, but I’m gonna say since 1993, when I used Excel to organize text-based data for my church’s ministry program. What is that, 18 years now? Wow.

NWatson says:
Started using Lotus 1-2-3 and Quatro Pro in 1991, while I was in college. I acutally had classes which used one of those two programs extensively. For one, we had to write a fairly extensive Macro. When I first came to my present job I was using Lotus 1-2-3, and switched to Excel in or around 2000 or so. I’ve been using some spreadsheet software of some type for 20 years.

JT says:
I have vague memories of learning «Excel» in high school in 1993 — we were using Microsoft Works, with its simple spreadsheet and early version of Word. My dad installed Office 95 when it came out, and I started using Excel then to make simple lists of songs on my cassette tapes. So depending on how you count, I’m 17 or 14-ish.

I think 1985 but it might have been 1986. I wanted Excel chiefly to make charts, and it resembledMS Chart for Mac quite a lot. Presumably it came on a 128 K disk on which you had the Mac OS and were supposed to save data.

OHDookie says:
Like Daniel Ferry, tried it on a Mac to help a musician/business owner ‘set up his books» back in 1985. Hated it since as a Lotus 1-2-3 user, the cross-over just didn’t seem to make sense.
Then full immersion in 1987 via a PC purchase with Windows software. Have been a «very good user’ for a long — in Corporate America, consulting, and personal applications.
So, gray beard here of 24-26 years. And been a PHD/Chandoo subscriber for about 1 1/2 years.
Chandoo, his colleagues, and everyone here have shown and taught some superb, creative applications. I greatly appreciated the well-explained techniques and «cool» programs from all of you! Bravo! (Just used one this morning.)

We were lucky to have a 10Base-2 coax cable connected to our PC so we can use a server in the next room. Internet?!?!… Never would have thought…

Dhinakaran says:
i started using the Excel extensively during my first job for control valve sizing calculations in the year 2008. After joining Masters, I am now fond of using this appln for solving all my tech calculations in the assignments and data analysis of my experimental details. When it comes to automating the repeatative jobs, I love using VBA in excel. Recently I explored this (2010) and rewarding more benefits to me…!
So my excel age is 2 years.

Cliff B says:
I started with Visicalc in about 1983 (on a Kaypro luggable with the OS on a floppy, no HD)- so about 28 years on spreadsheets. One of my first applications was to simulate a valuation model that ran on a Mainframe — I used the Divide and Conquer technique. We were able to run WhatIf questions and challenge the other side in Court. My client won a $3million settlement and I charged $2000 for 2 days work. So it’s not what functions you can use, it’s what you can do with it in the real world that counts.

-
Jae says:
The first time I had ever heard of a spreadsheet was Lotus 123 … that was back in the early 90’s … so I would have to say that I started using Excel around ’94 … not extensively, but for keeping track of things like how far and how long I had run … and other exercises …

Dean says:
In mid-1988 at university so my excel age, 22 (going on 23), is only one less than Excel’s excel age. I used it at university in my hydrology subject during a civil engineering degree to track stormwater through an urban system. Prior to that I had used Lotus 123 and I remember being a bit freaked out by the graphical interface. I went back to using Lotus once I started work (that’s what the company had) and came back to Excel some years later. I’m now a maths teacher and use it all the time in my teaching, administration and for data analysis for my school.

I guess I’m around 20 with Excel. Started with visicalc on the old Atari home computer, but moved into Excel sometime before ’92. That’s when I was too cheap to buy Quicken, so I wrote my own checkbook program with account, categories and budgets in Excel. I learned array formulas during that project and kept at them for at least 5 years before I learned that sumif even existed!
Great website. I’ve recommended to several other excel geeks.

17 years. I was working at Atlantic Richfield in Brisbane and we were forced to change from Lotus123 and one of those mainframe spreadsheet programmes might have been Visicalc.

Since 1994 … how cow, thats almost 17yrs now!!! I remember for many years my professors bashing Microsoft and Excel stating that Microsoft did not invent spreadsheets and is hence not an innovative company. However, they forgot the whole marketing angle. In Excel’s case, it doesn’t matter who invented spreadsheets, its the one who markets and innovates over it and thereby dominates the market that eventually wins. IMHO, Excel is KING!!!

I’ve started with Multiplan in the mid 80s, then a bit of Lotus 123, then Excel 2, Excel 3 and Excel 4 from ca. 1989 for a few years. Used to be pretty good at XLM macros. Career shifts omitted Excel for quite a while and I missed the shift to VBA. Then a family/maternity break from all things computer for a few years. Re-discovered Excel as a business tool ca. 2007.
So, off and on, I’ve been working with Excel and its predecessors for a quarter of a century. Scary.

Richard says:
25 years. Moved on from Multiplan on the Mac to Excel on the Mac Plus. Most business people were using Lotus 123 and WordPerfect on PCs and wondered why Macs used Excel, Word and a mouse with a GUI interface, small floppies and a hard drive!

Since I started my current job 14 years ago, although the first 2 years it was very little and the 5 years after that were spent just entering data into spreadsheets, at a rate that left very little time or energy for learning anything else… (If only I knew then what I know now!)

Chuck Miller says:
Been using Excel since 1990 (21 yrs). Started using macros in 1995 first at work then at home to take care of all our finances (including check balancing, income tax, and retirement investments). As much as I know, am in awe of you MVPs.

Patty says:
17 years. Used Lotus and Visicalc before that. Remember using WYSIWYG to view formatting before printing. Experimenting with Business Objects-WebI but too many limitations to give up Excel graphing.
-
Donnie says:
Since around 1996… actually I started with Lotus 123( old school right?)… so that would make me 15 excel years old.
-
Charles Urban says:
I remember multiplan, supercalc and visicalc in 1982. Then Lotus 123 and SMART. If I remember correctly, I went to Excel in 1998 when I started using my first Windows based computer. So, almost 23 years.
-
Saurabh says:
9 years
-
Heike says:
Have been using Excel since 2000, so 10 years and a bit.
-
Richard L says:
Multiplan way back when (1980ish?).
Then briefly with Visicalc.
Then the breakthrough with Supercalc on an Osborne 1! Very challenging to see very many columns/rows on that 6″ (or was it 4″?) garish green screen. (1980?)
Migrated with Supercalc from CPM to CPM86 to DOS to Windows.
Avoided Lotus 123, but finally succumbed to the extraordinary formatting capabilities of Excel in around 1990.
So, long way around to 21 excel years (but 31 spreadsheet years) -

Kamlesh Gandhi says:
As I remember, I have been using it since 1995 or 1997, when it was first introduced.
Before that I was using Lotus, but I have never looked back ever since. -
Mark says:
I moved from a highly customized Apple //e to a DOS machine in 1993. I had limited experience with spreadsheets and had to learn Excel when I changed jobs where our production scheduling was tracked and predicted in Excel.
Once I became familiar with it, I started to play around with vba and struggled at first, but after finding John Walkenbach’s wonderful book ‘Power Programming with VBA’ I was off and running. What was once four simple old style macros turned in to an entire application and over 4,000 lines of code used to run virtually every aspect of our business from Excel.
I find many interesting and useful ideas and tips here at chandoo.org. Thanks for the great work.

ben says:
1995 in college. I remember when Office 97 came out, they expanded the amount of menu bars so much that there was hardly any screen real-estate left over for the excel grid!! Towards the end of my engineering college education in 2000, i’d become a power user with graphing and some macros. Excel 2000 was my favorite upgrade because they really cleaned up and fixed many things. 2007 brought another set of needed fixes and updates!
My knowledge expanded in my engineering and then financial careers to this day. …and yet i’ve never been able to find effective uses for pivot tables that index-match combos can’t do better. -

I started using Excel in 2001 but did not have much opportunity to work on formula and other ineteresting features. May be that I had a few subordinates who worked well on excel and hence did not evince much interes in learning the features. After my joining excel school, my skillsets have improved substantially and I contiune to learn through this forum and reading books on excel. Thanks a lot Chandoo for improving my skills.
Regards,
R. Raman

Dear Chandoo,
First: Thanks for all the Excellent tips and hints.
I started with early Lotus later on office 97, 2000, 2007, 2010
So I almost can’t remember when I started using Excell.
Let’s say: 18 years.

Nachete says:
Started with EXCEL in 1995, with a MAC — that was the platform my government was using at the time and I was a trainee then. That makes me sweet sixteen.
Prior to that, my first exposure to spreadsheets was to ABILITY, a package of software that was sold in a bundle with AMSTRAD computers. That must have been 1988 or so. Funny thing, that AMSTRAD is still in my teenage room, next to the porn mags, the high school books and the ROTRING pens, all pretty much useless by now…

I «used» Excel to make nicely formatted tables as far back as 1996 (even then, I liked it better than Word without even knowing what Excel was REALLY for…). My actual use of Excel to do math and charts started in 1999, so I’ll claim an Excel age =INT((TODAY()-DATEVALUE(«01-01-1999»))/365), or 12 years.

Hi Chandoo,
I learnt excel (In training Institute) in 2000. But started enjoying Excel from 2008. Because, learning and working on same stuff is completely different. So I would say my excel age is 2.5 years.

I started with Microsoft Multiplan in 1987 or 1988, so 23 or 24 years. Yikes!

Yot says:
I started using Excel in 1997 during my final years in college. I only knew about charting then. Since our college professors no longer accept manual graphs for our lab work results, I was forced to learn doing graphs in Excel. It was only in 1999 when I really started making use of Excel formulas. It was amazing when I first learned how to write a formula (simple arithmetic actually), that I became obsessed with Excel. OR, AND, MOD, IFs and nested IFs were the first functions I learned.
So, perhaps my Excel age really started in 1999. That’s 12 years. -

I have started using in 2006, so it is nearly a 4 years now.

Just tell me since how many years you are using Excel?
I feel If some one wants to answer in specific total usage years «#» should have been the answer, however if some one mentions «YYYY» then Chandoo will have to do formula based circus to get the answer for above question…i am sure Chandoo is going to put the survey data in an excel so as to know avg Excel Age of his audience..It is pleasure to work on reports when data is consistent 🙂 -

Jack Neefus says:
I learned Excel in 1985 for my first job at what was then Bell Atlantic. Excel used to be so much simpler and more basic than what it has become today.
A couple of years ago, I started looking at Chandoo, MrExcel, Excelisfun, and similar sources, and was absolutely astounded y what people are getting out of the package today. It is not only the increased functionality in the program, but the creativity people are using to get things that would normally be unthinkable.

My very first contact with Excel was when I was hired by Apple — as a student — to demonstrate the new Macintosh II and SE on a Belgian university campus, in November 1987 (if I remember well…). So my Excel age is between 23 and 24 years. Before Excel I was using Visicalc on a Tandy (Radio Shack) TRS-80 Model I. This probably makes me a dinosaur…

Noel says:
First came across Excel in version 2.0 when I was working at the Vickers Shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness. One of our personnel had been visiting Electic Boat in the States and had brought back a hooky copy to show every one. It run under MSDOS and had to come with an early run time version of windows to provide the GUI that previously was provided by the Mac OS under version 1. That would have been approx 1989 although I disctinctly remember being told that it was a beta version we were shown (could be wrong as it’s along time ago)
Came across it again in 1992 when I was asked to produce a report comparing Excel version 4 versus my then company current spreadsheet 123 v3. Result was that it was getting very good but our company PCs would need to be upgraded to cope with the extra load imposed by the graphics. Generallly 123 v3 calculated faster and because it was familar to our employees it was the better product at that time. I also commented that the Excel implementation of multisheet spreads via workbooks was a good idea in principle but the mechanism used was horrifically bad in that it treated each sheet as a seperate file and the entire file path was shown in the formulae meaning you hit the 256 character limit VERY VERY fast.
I finally started using Excel full time with version 5.0 sometime after it’s release in 1993. That was the first time that Excel handled multisheet spreads correctly but to be honest I still miss the version 4 binder sheet. PCs commonly available in the UK had finally cuaght up with those available in the US and the disadvantages of teh Excel GUI were greatly reduced. When version 4 of 123 finally did come out in June of that year it was seen as a tragic parody of Excel’s UI and it sank without trace shortly after.
So to sum up — full time user for close on 18 years but aware of excel for 22 years.
BTW, I’ve been using spreadsheets since I was 14/15 when I used to have a program called MicroOffice for the ZX81 which included a little spreadsheet program. And that was released in around 1981/2 ish just a few years after Visicalc was released. Which means I’ve been using spreasheets in one form or another for close to 30 years.

Hard to believe, but the answer for me is 24 years. We installed Microsoft Excel at work because of its runtime windows version. We really preferred the visual environment, and wanted to get off Lotus 1-2-3 and the backslash command. Thus, I was using Excel before we even had Windows 3.1

In an ideal world, bedtime would be a moment of peace and relaxation, but it isn’t always that simple. Even if you fall asleep easily, drifting off typically opens the door to another world—the one in your head. And while your night visions can sometimes be controlled in a cool way, as through lucid dreaming, they can also quickly become a source of stress when you start worrying about crazy-vivid dreams during waking life.
Particularly if your ex keeps showing up in your dreams…Whether your breakup ended amicably or left you unglued and struggling to get over them, your ex is «back» (in your mind, anyway) and now you can’t seem to shake the thought of them even when you’re awake. So what does it mean for your real life, if your former flame keeps appearing to invade your slumber? Surprisingly, experts say it’s not necessarily a sign that you have unresolved issues and/or want to get back together with them. Dreaming about an ex is—even one you haven’t seen in years—is normal, and usually about something else entirely. Here, psychologists and a dream analyst break down the most common reasons it’s happening.
Your ex is just a symbol.
«Humans have been trying to make sense of their bedtime visions since well before recorded history,» says Gary Toub, Ph.D., a senior training analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of Colorado. «The biggest mistake you can make when trying to interpret your dream is to think it’s actually about the person you just dreamt about,» according to Toub, because dreams are symbolic. Instead, he says, focus on the hidden content of your dream. «Your subconscious mind, or your dream, picks the best possible representation for something that it’s trying to symbolize, so if the content is about your ex, you need to look at how that ex symbolizes something within yourself.»
The dream is actually about you…not your ex.
Think of the people in your dreams as the vessel for your emotions. «You are the one who created your dream. It’s like an art piece of your emotions and represents all parts of you,» says Marion Frank, a psychologist specializing in dream analysis and relationships in the Philadelphia area. «Dreams help us process emotions by encoding and constructing memories of them. What we see and experience in our dreams might not always be real, but the emotions attached to these experiences are,» Frank says.
Research out of the Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab at UC Berkeley discovered evidence linking emotions and dreams. The study found that a reduction in REM sleep resulted in a reduced ability to understand complex emotions in daily life. If you’re dreaming about your former love, even if they were an abusive ex, ask yourself, «what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about them?» says Toub.
What we see and experience in our dreams might not always be real, but the emotions attached to these experiences are.
«Even though it may be negative, often it’s those qualities and what they symbolize that are pointing to things about yourself,» he says. For instance, perhaps you just had an ugly argument with your current significant other—maybe you acted poorly and the argument you had is bringing out a side of you that you feel relates to how your ex used to treat you.
Alright, let’s say you had a fight with your spouse, then dreamt of sleeping with your ex…
The anger you were feeling toward your spouse the moment before you went to bed is percolating in your subconscious. «Your ex may have been an angry person, yet you’re having a positive, intimate moment in your dream with this individual you actually loathe in your conscious world,» Toub suggests.
This content is imported from poll. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
The ex probably represents anger, and it’s more likely to be the angry side of you. Toub explains that dreams are about what just happened that day. «All of the experiences of the day marinate in your mind. The dream is the commentary of what was going on up until you fell asleep.» Your dream is pointing you toward something about yourself.
However, if you’re having recurring sex dreams about your ex, there’s more to explore.
Don’t panic and take it as a sign that you belong with your ex (you broke up for a reason!). «You need to cast a wider net into your life—the sex you’re having with your ex in your dream might not mean your current sex life isn’t great, or that you don’t desire the person you’re in a relationship with if you’re coupled up,» Frank says. You simply might be needing more intimate connections from your family or your friends.
«The repetitive nature of your dream is your psyche giving you messages on a different level. Your subconscious is telling you that you’re not quite getting the memo in your conscious life, so consider analyzing the symbols you’re seeing in your dream,» she explains. Your dream is like a fax machine, giving you notes to figure things out when you’re awake. «Dreams are a form of healing,» Frank adds.
What if your ex cheated on you IRL but you’re dreaming that you two are happy?
Your ex betrayed you. Yet here you are waking up at 3 a.m., confused because you were walking hand-in-hand with them on a sunny beach. «There are so many metaphors happening in a dream, it’s not about one thing, like only the ex,» Frank explains. She says you have to work with the dream to see the layers. For instance, where is the location in the dream (the beach), what is the emotion (bliss), and what did you first feel when you woke up (closure?).
Your dream is pointing you toward something about yourself.
If you live nowhere near a beach and you’ve always associated negative feelings toward this person, your dream may be telling you that you’re entering a transformative period in your life. «What is it you like about the mind frame you’re in during this dreamlike state, and then try to apply that to your everyday life,» she adds. It might mean that you’re ready for a change: a new job, or taking the next step with the person you’re dating. The dream may not even be about the betrayal you associate with your ex, but rather the ability to move on and find closure with your past.
Is it true that if you dream of someone they dream of you?
No. Sweet as that sounds, we don’t become psychic mediums in our sleep. But Layne Dalfen, dream analyst and author of the Have a Great Dream series, does believe that people can share an extra-sensory connection with someone they’ve been with for a long time. «Though this isn’t my way of looking at dream analysis, after 48 years doing this I know without question that we are capable of ESP and we are talking to each other all the time—sometimes with words, and sometimes with thoughts.»
For example, Dalfen says, she and her husband have been married for 32 years, and she says it’s not uncommon for them to have a similar idea at the same time. «Let’s say I’m lying in bed in the morning thinking to myself, «gee, I would love to go to a movie tonight.» And out he walks from the shower, and he says to me, ‘Do you want to go see a movie tonight?'» This, she points out, happens a lot with in-sync couples.
«You might have similar images in your dreams, but for me, that wouldn’t be a psychic kind of thing,» Dalfen adds. Ultimately, there’s no reason to assume they’re dreaming of you too. And they certainly wouldn’t be having the same dream as you at the same time, like some romantic version of a Nightmare on Elm Street movie. «I don’t buy it,» Dalfen says.
In short, we dream about what concerns us most.
That might not explain why you dreamt you were eating a plate of stuffed mushrooms when the thought of mushrooms makes you nauseous. But experts say you are more likely to dream about an ex than your current partner. «A person from your previous life will represents something about you in a way your present partner cannot,» Frank says.
Most people wake up from a dream about their former lovers and immediately assume they must miss this person. Frank explains it’s likely not your ex that you’re missing, but an aspect of who you were when you were with them you’re longing for. Maybe there is something in your current life you’re unhappy about, or something is dragging you down and you miss the carefree, joyous way you lived years prior.
You probably don’t miss your ex. You miss an aspect of who you were when you were with them.
Extrapolate the mood of how you felt and lived your life, and leave the people who were part of it out of the equation. But how can we tell if we truly do miss the person we used to date in our waking hours? Toub says we can never really know for certain if dreaming about an ex years later is about the actual outer person or symbolizes a part of ourselves. “Dreams are all so personal. I would say that it is up to the dreamer to decide—to feel out for themselves.” If the dreamer does decide to follow up with the outer person (the ex, in this case), and it doesn’t pan out, then that tells the dreamer it really was about something more subjective within them.
Consider keeping a dream journal to make the recurring dreams stop.
«A dream is the conversation you’re having with yourself about a very specific current issue that you’re attempting to problem solve,» says Dalfen. «Your unconscious mind gets the solution to what you want to do about a situation before your conscious gets it.»
Because the people and events in our dreams are symbols hand-picked by our subconscious mind, you may learn something from jotting down what happened, how it made you feel, and what memories and feelings you associate with the things you dreamed about. Over time, a clearer picture may emerge regarding what your dreams are urging you to think about. «The prize you get for remembering your dreams and recording them in a journal is that you can propel your problem solving skills,» Dalfen says.
And if you just want that ex out of your dreaming life for good, give this simple trick a try.
«The way to stop dreaming about your ex, believe it or not, is to ask yourself to stop,» Dalfen advises. «As you’re falling asleep, or even during the day, just say, ‘you know what? I’ve had enough. I don’t want to dream about them anymore!’ And you probably won’t.»

Unleash the Excel Genius in You
Hello and welcome to My Excel Genius.
Chances are you’re here because you use Excel in your business or job.
A lot!
You probably spend more time working wrestling with Excel than you’d care to admit.
Maybe you’re an accountant, a business or data analyst, work in finance or some other professional where Excel is the tool de rigueur.
In today’s ultra-competitive environment, advanced Excel skills are not just mandatory, they’re a competitive advantage that can save you time, get you noticed and propel your career.
In that context, you’re probably here because you have to get more done — to get faster and smarter results in Excel.
Maybe that’s by learning a better way to get your job done.
Maybe it’s by using Excel extensions (a.k.a add-ins) to work smarter.
Or perhaps by starting your next project with a template, so the job’s already half done for you.
Or perhaps you want to engage in the Ultimate Excel Productivity Hack and try your hand at VBA to really bend Excel to your will and automate time consuming or mundane tasks.
If that’s you – you’re in the right place.
Here you’ll find tips, tools & techniques to improve your Excel skills through articles, videos, add-ins and online courses.
But enough about you!
Let’s talk a little about me.
Who am I to suggest that there’s an Excel Genius inside you?
My name is Marcus and I’ve been a professional Excel Consultant and VBA developer for over 20 years.
You could say I’m an Excel Geek.
But don’t let that geeky veneer fool you. I’ve worked directly with business people (perhaps like you) solving real business problems with Excel & VBA. I’ve developed solutions for businesses with 2 staff all the way to 200,000 in a wide range of industries including:
- national retailers
- industrial manufacturers
- an international car manufacturer
- government departments
- corporate legal departments
- utilities companies
- national FMCGs (Fast Moving Consumer Goods)
- national hardware suppliers
- small businesses
- mortgage brokers
- and — as you’d expect – I’ve done more than my fair share in banking & finance.
Before becoming a professional Excel VBA developer I worked as a corporate trainer teaching everyone from secretaries to CEOs how to use applications like Excel to get more done, faster.
A Free Gift
Now that we know each other a little better, I’ve got a gift for you to say ‘thanks’ for stopping by.
Just tell me where to send it…

Despite how amazing Excel is there are times when you’ll find yourself shaking with fear! For example, have you ever seen anything as scary as this =ISERROR(FIND(_xlfn.CONCAT($A2:$E2),_xlfn.CONCAT($I$2:$M$6))) What is xlfn ???
What’s The Story?
You open your friend’s Excel file and discover that some of the formulas aren’t working and include the letters XLFN ! You call your friend but he says that everything looks perfectly fine on his laptop. Did you get too much sun? Did you eat some bad fish? Did you smoke one of Oz du Soleil’s cigars?
What Is XLFN?
xlfn is a prefix added to functions that don’t exist in the version of Excel that you are using.
You have Excel 2013 and your friend has a newer version of Excel (Office 365 or Excel 2016). He uses a cool new function and sends the file to you. As you have Excel 2013 this cool new function doesn’t yet exist and you see xlfn in front of the function.
Recent XLFN Example
Last year I discovered David Hager’s Excel blog. He shares a lot of neat ideas. I recently saw this post: Conditional Format Rows in List 1 that are Not in List 2
When I opened the file I noticed that the solution wasn’t working for me. I went back to David’s post and looked at this pic:
I noticed that David used the CONCAT function. This must be a new Excel 2016 (or Office365?) function! There are a bunch of really interesting new functions but I’m still using Excel 2013.
What Does Microsoft Recommend?
“Remove the unsupported functions, or if possible, replace the unsupported functions with supported functions.” Also, read this.
OK. So, Is There A Workaround?
Although not as easy as David’s solution we can still produce the same end result.
Here are the steps to my workaround solution:
- Use a helper formula to concatenate all values in both tables: (i.e. =K2&L2&M2&N2&O2 )
- Adding this =ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,$J$2:$J$6,0)) shows whether or not the row is found (Cell A2 is key in table 1. Column J is key in table 2)
- Add this formula inside your conditional formatting rule: =$B2=FALSE
Excel 2013 Workaround Solution
Here is David’s Excel file that includes my workaround solution for those that don’t have Excel 2016.

My name is Kevin Lehrbass. I live in Markham, Ontario, Canada. I’ve been studying, supporting, building, troubleshooting, teaching and dreaming in Excel since 2001. I’m a Data Analyst.
There are so many amazing things that you can do with Excel.

Away from Excel I enjoy learning Spanish, playing Chess, hanging out with Cali and Fenton and reading Excel books 🙂
