Where is the Excel community?

Excel is one of the most used software applications in the world. There is, therefore, a lot of know-how, tips, and tricks out there about Excel. There are many Excel experts, MVPs, consultants, add-in manufacturers – you name it. So why is there no Excel community? Where can we Excelists meet, talk, and exchange ideas? Where is the Microsoft sponsorship that should support this?

In any case, the guys from the Excel user conference are the only ones who make an effort. I didn’t get a chance to attend their conference, but they do have some big Excel experts as lecturers, and they seem to be having fun. I hope to attend sometime during 2007, but if you get a chance to attend before I do, please tell me how it was.

    Thanks for the kind words, Yoav. Hope to see you at one of our conferences. The next one is in Atlantic City on April 18-20, 2007.

    You are right about the events. They are very informative because of the experts in attendance - speakers and attendees. They are very enjoyable, as the evenings find a large group sitting around in a relaxed atmosphere discussing many topics including spreadsheets.

    PDF2XL is a great concept. I have had many instances where the data is in a PDF and I need it in Excel. PDF2XL would have been a perfect solution.
