What we’re about
Do you love to work with Excel? Or maybe you are just looking to learn what you need to do better at work or apply for a new job. In either case, this group is for you.
Because it is impossible for any of us to know everything about Excel, this group is meant to be a space for sharing what we know with each other. In each session, we bring a guest to tell us about their best tips, tricks, techniques, and thoughts about an Excel-related topic. We are very proud of the amazing content that we have delivered to our Group Members so far.
Registration as a member has no cost, and all the sessions are FREE.
We are running two different session series to address everyone's needs.
EXCEL ESSENTIALS: focusing on essential functions and features, fundamental core concepts for data analysis, and practical tips for everyday use.
This series will offer shorter sessions delivered by Excel Trainers, Power Users, and Experts to help you build your foundational Excel skills and become a stronger and more confident Excel user.
Presentation time: about 30 minutes
Total session duration: about 60 minutes
EXCEL EXPANDED: because Excel keeps evolving and expanding in so many directions and can integrate with so many different technologies, we will continue to invite the best experts in the world to share their knowledge and best tips with us, leading us to expand our Excel skills and understanding of what Excel can do.
These sessions will follow our usual format.
Presentation time: 45-60 minutes
Total session duration: about 90 minutes
Anyone can attend any of the sessions by clicking a link provided to those who register (RSVP Yes) for the session.
Sessions are currently happening online through Microsoft Teams. There is no need to install Microsoft Teams. You can use your browser on your computer or mobile device to join the session.
We would love to hear what you have been up to with Excel. What kind of problems do you solve with it? What kind of solutions do you build with it? What are your favourite techniques, features and tools? What is your advice about best practices for working with Excel?
If you want to learn more about using Excel to your maximum potential, this group is for you. Let's all get together to connect and learn from each other.

SESSION DETAILS
In this highly interactive session, we will explore ways to leverage AI in general—and ChatGPT in particular—to help Excel beginners.
From testing prompts in real time to hands-on exercises, you’ll have the chance to practice Excel, discover new ways to combine Excel and AI, and probably learn some new tricks and functions along the way.
If you’d like to participate, feel free to prepare 3 to 5 questions so we can jump straight into your practical challenges.With your help, we’ll also take a few “risks” and use ChatGPT live to observe the real biases and risks of using AI in action. (Hint: hallucinations still occur, but there are ways to handle them.)
We’ll dive into the exciting world of new opportunities—or even ventures—that can emerge from this collaboration between Excel and AI.Although we won’t learn how to code in VBA, we’ll see how to quickly solve small problems using VBA and ChatGPT.
Last but not least, we’ll create a customized GPT-XL tailored to your domain of expertise. So, what domain interests you beyond Excel?ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Gaëtan Mourmant has been an Excel MVP since 2021 and built his first spreadsheet at the age of 11 to optimize a school project menu (carbohydrates, lipids, etc.). He also holds a PhD in Management of Information Systems and can help you automate your processes.
With the rise of generative AI, Gaëtan is now developing solutions to fully leverage this incredible revolution we are currently experiencing — from creating faster Excel solutions, automating the production, modification, or analysis of thousands of documents, to implementing AI-powered user forms with a single click. Everything is coming together — from thousands of Word documents analyzed by generative AI, to the delivery of interactive and insightful reports using Excel or Power BI.
