If you post up a little more information about what it is you want to do with it I'll try and help as best I can :)
 
I'm profficient but not a wiz, but I have a few accounants around who are so they pick up the slack for me.
 
and you started the clock just after you read the post at 11.43 didn't you Matt? :D :)

Gosh if Anton doesn't get back on line soon that's gonna be one hefty bill :thinking:
 
So we've established that theres plenty of help available.....we just need to know what we're helping with :thinking:

Like my hourly consultancy fee for helping people out?

A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Broni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the shepherd... "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?" The shepherd looked at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looked at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answered "sure".

The yuppie parked his car, whipped out his IBM ThinkPad and connected it to a cell phone, then he surfed to a NASA page on the internet where he called up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then opened up a database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas. He sent an email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, received a response. Finally, he prints out a 130-page report on his miniaturized printer then turns to the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1586 sheep. "That is correct; take one of the sheep." said the shepherd. He watches the young man select one of the animals and bundle it into his car.

Then the shepherd says: "If I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my animal?", "OK, why not." answered the young man. "Clearly, you are a consultant." said the shepherd. "That's correct." says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?" "No guessing required." answers the shepherd. "You turned up here although nobody called you. You want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked, and you don't know crap about my business...... Now give me back my dog."

lol excellent dod.

I've always fancied consultancy, people pay lots of money for it ;)

We're still non the wiser on what excel help we're giving out though.
 
I've done some Excel consultancy work in the past (I use Excel every day and consider myself a "bit of a whizz".)

A good place to look for general info if www.mrexcel.com

Hi guys

Sorry I only got back now but things have been HECTIC!!:eek:

Matt have you STOPPED THAT CLOCK YET!?!?:lol:

What I am currently doing is feeding data into a spreadsheet to have the data of all the claims in our office at my finger tips.

This comes down to about 500-700 claim files and all relevant data one would want to know instantly e.g. court dates, references attorneys and their references and the likes.

Now I have done maybe the first 10-15% of the inputs and I (succesfully) moved columns to make things flow more logically.

As no doubt some of you will know government service generates a LOT of paperwork.:bang: :bang: :bang:

As for the original question I consider myself to have past the first day of excel 101.1.

Now for formulae to compute turnaround times but I think I will rather pose specific questions when I get there...

Thanks to all who made an input here!:thumbs:
 
Heya Jonnyreb!:wave:

Have you been paying attention as to who I work for...:D :lol:

Wouldn't mind if I could though...and she would be pretty and make coffee too!:clap:

:D
 
Afternoon Mr Roland :wave:

Just noticed - cost it off to paperclips or someone else's cost-code ;)
 
Hmmmm...:suspect: :thinking:

Paper clips you say...:lol:

This might even work!!

FAO Realmofconfusion

Completely of topic but I just spent a few minutes wondering what MOF stood for as in "Real mof confusion" until I realised it was "realm of confusion"
