Chris from THE state of Ohio

Hey everyone!

I'm Chris, I'm all of 25 years old, and I've been working with Excel, PowerPoint, etc... for a little over 3 years now as a financial analyst. I've been over at the MrExcel forum all those years and just recently heard that this was the place where all the cool people hang out. So of course I had to check it out! I like that there are specific threads set up for PowerPoint and Word. I have been painfully teaching myself how to code VBA for those applications after becoming fairly comfortable with VBA for Excel. It looks like there are a ton of great and knowledgeable people on this forum and I am excited to learn from everyone (and maybe give you all my two cents from time to time!). I'm always around on social media, so feel free to connect with me.

PS. In my title I capitalized the word "the" for a reason. Us Ohioans like to insert 'the' in front of everything! :)

See ya around!

Chris

Hey Chris. welcome to the forum :)

Good to have you aboard Chris, as you say, this is indeed where the cool people are. It is nowhere near as busy as MrExcel, but where necessary, threads develop here, they don't just drop off the radar within an hour.

It's also good to see someone of your age using VBA, keep all of us old farts on our toes :)

Haha, yeah I don't know too many people my age who play around with VBA either! But I'm currently designated as my company's Excel consultant/teacher, so hopefully I'll be able to sway some more people my age to realize the power of VBA. Thanks for leaving a note James!

I am not James, that is a quote from the American humourist James Thurber, http://thurberhouse.org/james-thurber. He is somewhat topical, as he wrote The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the story is far better than the rambling movie.

haha, my apologies. That's what I get for trying to be personal! I will refer to you as Grand Master xld from now on :)

Welcome!

You should always refer to Bob as xld. It's still in question whether this Bob fellow actually exists or not. ;)

Caution Chris, you may learn copious amounts of information here, and it could become extremely addictive and habit forming. :)
