Excel

Excel is one of the most popular end-user tools in the accountant’s portfolio. Spreadsheets enable us to quickly and flexibly perform analysis that otherwise would be difficult or time-consuming; however, there is a tendency to place undue trust in them.

The Excel Community provides a 'one-stop shop' for accountants who want to use Excel better and understand and minimise spreadsheet risk.

Use the buttons below to navigate our Excel content pages or join the Excel Community to gain access to all items on the site. If you are already a member of the IT Faculty, access to the Excel Community is already part of your faculty membership.

The forum was a new resource for me and opened up conversations with other members. I used it to ask for advice on alternatives to Excel for time recording and managing the profitability of assignments. To have some suggestions from the forum members was a great way to start evaluating potential solutions and saved me time - which is extremely valuable to me as a business owner.

Excel Trainer - Knowledge Base

You only have to look through the various Excel forums to see how much time people can save by finding better, and more robust, ways of using Excel. The key is relevance. Having a community concentrating on the use of Excel in business should create a fantastic resource that will save vast amounts of time, money and frustration.

I wanted to congratulate the organisers of the Excel Community event - I don’t normally go overboard (or even write in with feedback) but I can only say that it was inspirational. It is very rare for the content to be use useful throughout the day- my head is bursting with ideas and I only wish I had more time to put all of it into practice! Thank you.
