Does it take too long to make informative graphics?
Are long step by step protocols too complicated to remember?
Is it too tedious to update your reports each week or each month?
Would you like to automate your analysis and reporting processes?
Peltier Tech is co-sponsoring a couple of learning opportunities which will help you with all of these tasks. These classes are not Excel 101, they are advanced, hands-on (bring your laptop!), full immersion experiences designed to raise your skills and talents to the next level. These classes will help you:
Create charts, dashboards, and reports quickly and painlessly.
Update reports and graphics automatically with a minimum of time and effort.
Impress your colleagues, your boss, and especially your clients.
Make your reports and analyses dynamic and interactive.
Excel Dashboard and Visualization Bootcamp
The second Excel Dashboard and Visualization Boot Camp will take place next week, Wednesday through Friday, May 20-22, 2009, in Frisco, Texas. There are a few spots remaining, and it’s not too late to sign up.
Excel MVPs Mike Alexander and Jon Peltier team up for a replay of our successful boot camp last October. Join us and learn to use flexible and powerful visualization tools and techniques to make your reports really work.
Visit the Excel Dashboard and Visualization Boot Camp information and registration pages.
Advanced Excel Conference
Join Excel MVPs Bob Umlas and Jon Peltier for two days of charting and programming. The conference will take place Wednesday and Thursday, June 17-18, on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ. This is our fourth conference in Atlantic City, and the previous three have been wildly popular.
It’s still early, but you’ll want to sign up soon. The hotel has reserved a block of rooms at a special $99/night conference rate, but this rate will expire Sunday night, May 17. The “early bird” discount is available until a week from Sunday.
Visit the Advanced Excel Conference page for information and registration.

Please allow me to put in an unsolicited plug for the boot camp. If anyone out there is teetering on the decision of whether to attend this, I can tell you it is well worth the price of admission.
If you humbly consider yourself an intermediate user, if you are comfortable with Excel’s default charts (but not much more), if you know enough about pivot tables to be dangerous, and if you want to know how to streamline your work flow and make your data tell a story, then this is the class for you.
Jon and Mike will pack more practical information into 24 hours than should be humanly possible. I attended the inaugural session and it began paying dividends before the end of the first day. Since October I have been able to apply the knowledge I gained countless times.

Andy, thanks for the positive review. Weren’t you the smart guy in the second row?
Seriously, whenever I team up with smart guys like Mike and Bob, I always hang out while they are teaching, because they always show something new. it might bee a new technique, or a new way of looking at a problem, but it always stretches my brain. I’d like to think I have the same effect.

If only this was available outside the USA, what are we to do?

At this time it’s all I can handle to stay relatively nearby. Perhaps when the economy improves I can gather up my groupies and take the show on the road.
