An Introduction from Charley Kyd:
While working as a cost accountant at Hewlett Packard in the late 1970s, Mr. Kid beta tested VisiCalc.
So I've been using spreadsheets for quite a while.
As the CFO of several manufacturing companies in the 1980s, I used nearly ten different brands of spreadsheets, including a 3-D spreadsheet created by the Boeing Corporation, the airplane company. But after I was introduced to the beta version of the first release of Excel for the PC, I've never looked back.
I've written one book about financial management using Lotus 1-2-3, two similar books about Excel, and one book about programming Excel. I've published nearly 50 articles and columns in national magazines, including Inc, Management Accounting, Lotus, Byte, and Business Software.
I've consulted for both large and small companies in industries as diverse as high-tech manufacturing, public utilities, telecommunications, a chain of hardware stores, and a fat rendering company.
These days, I help companies use Excel and other tools to improve their management reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and analysis. I help them to reduce Spreadsheet Hell, find errors in their data and reports, and automatically generate readable reports, from the lunch room to the Board Room.
Details:
Mr. Kyd will address the following Excel techniques and capabilities in his presentation: Range
naming, INDEX-MATCH, spreadsheet databases, custom number formats as well as, ways to reduce errors
in Excel reports and analyses.
He will illustrate the use of Excel-friendly OLAP and demonstrate some of his popular dashboard techniques, the camera feature and macro recorders. While his talk will cover many basic concepts and capabilities of the software, he will alo be introducing some more complex techniques that will be of interest to the intermediate and above user.
