Get your FREE Exceleration eBook!

Last weekend was a special occasion due to it being Microsoft Excel's birthday. First released on 30 September 1985, can you believe it's been 38 years since our favourite spreadsheet program graced the world?

We want to celebrate that by revealing a special little something…

In October 2022, we started publishing bite-sized Excel hints, tips, tricks, and hacks on our social media channels to help you solve everyday Excel problems.

We named them #ExcelerationThursdays — etching the designated day in your brain so you knew when to expect the next one! As we published more and more, it was clear a post a week was simply not enough.

As we reflected on the best way forward, we wanted the freedom to post more than once a week, but the name held us back. At this point, the newly titled #Exceleration was born.

Whether you consume Exceleration on your daily commute, in the office, or at home, hopefully, our nuggets of Excellence have propelled your workflow to greater heights.

We've amassed almost 70 Excelerations in the last year, and this compilation is an eclectic mix of the best and most popular hints, tips, tricks, and hacks!

With 25 guides nicely squashed into a single package, there is something for everyone, whether you're a beginner or an advanced user.

What's included?

Each Exceleration contains a step-by-step written guide and an exclusive accompanying video only accessible to those who download the eBook.
