After graduating college, I quickly realized how important an advanced understanding of Excel is to any business, and how valuable it is to be a resident guru! I learned everything I could about Excel and earned the nickname "Chris Macro" for the positive impact I had in improving and automating key processes!
I started TheSpreadsheetGuru.com in 2015 to help pass along my knowledge to the world with all kinds of articles and examples from basic to advanced. My tutorials have been acknowledged for combining simplicity, creativity, and artistic design into the solution. I've also built several popular Excel add-ins that are utilized by companies around the world.
Millions of people learn from my educational resources every year to save time, reduce risk, and add value to their companies with Excel. For these efforts, Microsoft has recognized me with the Excel MVP award from 2016 through 2023.
