Hi fellow Excel Addict,

Here are some facts you may be interested in.

Fact 1: A survey by the Society for Human Resource Management shows that "The number of positions requiring data analysis skills is increasing in many organizations."

Fact 2: The workhorse for financial reporting for almost every organization in the world is Microsoft Excel.

Fact 3: The vast majority (95%+) of all those people who use Excel in all those organizations (including yours) understand and use only a very tiny fraction of what Excel is capable of.

Fact 4: With an ever-increasing need for more efficient processing of the massive amounts of data generated by every industry, employees with Dashboard and Data Visualization skills are in high demand.

Fact 5: If you want to join the ranks of the top 5% of skilled Excel users, you will find no better place to learn how to design and build Excel dashboards the right way and hone your data visualization skills than the courses taught my my friend Mynda Treacy — I can promise you that.

That's why last week I recommended that you check out her fantastic dashboard course or the three free 1-hour webinars she is offering this week.

If you're considering enrolling in one of Mynda's courses, you won't want to miss out on the 20% early bird discount she is offering. It ends this Thursday (Feb 13) at 8pm Pacific Standard Time.

If Excel is an important part of your career, a proficiency in dashboards and data visualization skills can dramatically improve your job prospects and have you considered for more roles compared with the 'average' Excel user.

Just read what one of Mynda's students had to say:

"After taking your current dashboard course I designed a couple of dashboards / functioning prototypes and sent them to the Executive Group by way of shameless self promotion. Long story short, I got a new position out of it! - Fraser McKay"

I have no doubt, Mynda's course will have you standing out from the crowd in no time, just like Fraser, with the skills to build interactive reports like this amazing Sales and Marketing dashboard:

Free Excel Dashboard Webinars

If you're not sure what a dashboard is or how these skills might be relevant to you, then you can attend Mynda's FREE Excel Dashboard Webinars.

Here's what Ted said about Mynda's webinar:

"Wow, Wow and more Wows. I have been using spreadsheets since 1982 starting with VisiCalc. Since 2002, I have taught 7 Excel one day classes that I developed myself. I call myself an Excel junkie. If I don't get 4 to 5 hours of Excel a day, I get the shakes. Well, you have really shaken my tree.""

Webinar 1 - Excel Dashboard for Excel 2007/2010/2013/2016/2019/Office 365

The first webinar will teach you how to use Excel to build this interactive dashboard below, no additional software or add-ins required, just plain old Excel and some data.

Mynda shared this email with me from Kerry (with her permission), a member from a previous class:

"I have to tell you that I just downloaded the Session 4 workbooks. They are fantastic. I thought I would have to take notes in order to recall your instruction. Not at all - it is all in the spreadsheet. Your online tutorials and download material are extraordinary. I am so impressed. I will be recommending your online training to my colleagues. Your workbooks are easy on the eye and very easy to understand. I am terrified by the thought of writing formulas. You explain them and make it look so easy."
