Hi all and welcome to my blog page.

The idea is to present some issues I have faced in finance accounting area and solutions how I have solved the issues. Most of the cases are originally from production but I have changed the details so that original process and data are not disclosed.

Topics I am covering in the blog are normal Excel functions and how to use them in finance context. Macros and VBA sometimes make things go faster, therefore I am presenting my VBA solutions. Business intelligence, like Power Query and Power Pivot, is a part of Excel for reporting especially larger amounts of data. Power BI is included also as Power BI is pretty close to Excel. Also I have some blogs are about Access or Tableau. Access can be found in several laptops, still it is not used very often, according to my experience.

During the past years I have studied some books and visited several related webpages, therefore it is possible to find same kind of solutions in other webpages or Excel/Power BI books, too.

All the solutions are free to be reused. Hopefully, this page might bring some light on your Excel or Power BI issues.

Screenshots are taken from my Excel and Power BI. Your Excel/Power BI might look different. Still, I hope basic concepts are same in different Excel versions.
