Free UpdatesCharts, Dashboards and More – Best of Excel on the Web (May 2012)
In this article I’m going to do a quick round-up of the Best of Excel on the Web.

In the mean time check out the teaser video and sign up for a 50% early-bird discount before it’s too late by heading over to the Power Tips page.

Hi Victor,
I have a couple that I’ve put up a my site that people may find useful:
Highlight Subtotals For Easy Reading
Retrieving Selections From A PivotTable Slicer

Hey Ken
Thanks for posting those links.
(1) Subtotals formatting tip – yep it’s funny that Excel’s subtotal feature doesn’t seem to automatically create the nice looking formatting that you show. One neat thing about SUBTOTAL is you get collapsing/expanding sections with the +/- buttons that appear on the left of the row labels.
(For those with Excel 2010 you can activate the subtotal feature with ALT ➜ A ➜ B)
(2) PivotTable Slicers – I like the interactive embedded Excel Web App spreadsheet in the section labelled “See it in action”.
Cheers
Victor is there a way you i can download your videos. the ones on Youtube are great but as you know you cannot really download them. so when i dont have internet connection i am stuck.
Hi Steven
That’s a good point… at the moment there’s no simple way to download my videos from Youtube. I’ll see whether I can make them available as a download from my store, perhaps a 2012 Video Archive for download. If there are any particular videos you’d like to download, let me know by posting another comment.
Cheers
Victor

Quick Update on video downloads – I made the Timeline Video and Template available as a paid download.

And will add more videos to my shop as time allows. Of course the videos will remain watchable online too (via this site and also my Youtube channel).
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for.
can you offer guest writers to write content for yourself?
I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on some of the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome web site!
My brother recommended I might like this web site.
He was entirely right. This post actually made my day.
You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
