What are the better/most relevant excel forums out there. I have some pretty advanced stuff i want to do that i can't do by googling how to. Anyone know of some good forums that are current and helpful? Or do we have some excel guru's here?

Honestly, if you're really pushing Excel you will probably be better off putting your data into a real database and learning to work with it instead.
Excel is a fantastic ad-hoc tool but for repeatable processes you'll waste lots of time forcing it to do what Oracle was born to handle.

Mr Excel or Ozgrid always tends to pop up on my searches.
I find it hard to believe it can’t be solved by some google searches though. What are you trying to do?

Well... that's an interesting approach to web filtering.

If the data is something like 50,000 rows or less, Excel is a lot easier to deal with.
Hell, I do some occasional work with a 200,000 row dataset and just use Excel. It is less about Excel and more about the machine you're using.

What are you trying to do exactly? "Advanced" Excel frequently involves peripheral technologies (VBA, DAX, PowerQuery, PowerPivot). There are plenty of resources out there for those beyond just an Excel forum.

if you're ever looking to do anything in VBA, the best method to do is 1st run a macro on what you want to do. That is a great starting point for sure.

Disagree. Depends on what you're doing and your alternatives.
