This is something that should be mandatory at school. I use Excel every day and couldn’t live without it! Keep the content coming!
I agree with you Gareth. The knowledge of excel makes our lives so much easier and more efficient as it contains a lot of automated techniques and routines, which saves us time and improves on productivity.

wow your tutorials are always good.
I have been looking for ways to actually have an excel spreadsheet to do automated calculations and have struggled to know this.
Your tutorials are what I will refer to when I need help. Thanx again Well written.
Thank you Thabo – automating spreadsheets is the way to go. Formatting cells and shading them too also gives you the visual appeal to it. Take care

Thank you so much for this informative lesson, Habib! I love Excel, and I regularly use both the currency and decimal place functions. I learned by trial and error, however; just bumming around until I finally struck gold. Haha I would have loved to have had your video back then! You do an excellent job of describing the process; even the newest of people to Excel can follow along and know what to do. I have saved your article, and will definitely share it with my friends and family! Great read! God bless you!
Thank you very much – explaining the basic sometimes is what we all need to understand the more complicated stuff as the basic gives you the strong foundation. I’m happy to hear you will share our site with your friends and family, so they can benefit too. Great stuff, take care.
