Is ExcelTips Valuable to You?

There are a lot of resources available these days for people who use Excel. You can find websites, YouTube videos, and even other newsletters. To my knowledge, ExcelTips has been around longer than any other Excel resource on the Internet. (I've been publishing the newsletter since 1998.)

The point is, if you know others who use Excel, I think they could benefit by the decades of knowledge and experience available in the ExcelTips newsletter. They will never know about ExcelTips, though, unless YOU let them know. Do them (and me) a favor and help spread the word about the value that you see in ExcelTips. Simply direct them to the website:

Let them know that they can sign up for the newsletter using the form at the right side of any page on the site.

Special Note!

I've been publishing ExcelTips for years. Decades, actually. The newsletter you are reading right now is for very old versions of Excel. I still publish it because I know that some people are still using very old versions of Excel. Most people, however, are using newer versions of the program. If you are are using a newer version of Excel (2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, or the version in Microsoft 365), then you should seriously consider changing to the version of the newsletter designed for you. You can do so by clicking this link.

Thanks for your support of ExcelTips, and I hope you enjoy whichever version of the newsletter you receive. If you have any questions, just let me know.
