  1. Then it's clear that Corduroy Frog should go to Excel Frog for a ribbiting conversation. <ba-dum tish> I'll see myself out.

  2. It amazes me every time I watch someone else using Excel. There are so many ways to accomplish the same task. I was teaching a Jr. accountant how to do a bank rec yesterday, and watching him use Excel was an exercise in patience on my part. But it worked for him, and he got to where he wanted to go. And probably just as fast as I would have gotten there. Over time I am learning that everyone has a different way their mind works to get an answer. What is obvious to me as the best way to accomplish a task is not always the best way for someone else. It took me a long time to get to the point where I can recognize this phenomena...sometimes. But my way is still best...at least in my office where I am the boss. Tom Modesto, CA

  3. Excel: The Best Forums to Ask Questions There are so many possible things to do with Excel that it's easy to get stuck on something. Your first instinct should be to Google your question. But when looking for something really specific, that doesn't always work. In that case you can ask your question to real people on a forum. In this short post I'll share with you my 3 favorite places to ask questions about Excel. https://www.excelfrog.com/forum

  4. Blogs generally aren't used for Q&A sessions. You would be better off looking for an online forum focusing on Excel. I did a quick search and came up with a few that look like what you might be looking for. My search was "excel help forum" and these first two looked promising: this one is run by MVPs and/or certified trainers, looks at your specific troubles, charges nominal fee for the service: https://www.excelforum.com/ this one, straight to microsoft: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel/ct-p/Excel_Cat

  5. I've taken several courses given by Jeff Lenning and also receive his email newsletter. He is a CPA, a Microsoft Excel MVP, and Microsoft Certified Trainer. He provides online training at Excel University and is one of those listed in Lion's list above. I'm not sure that a blog is where you'll have the ability to ask others for advice though. Anyway, here is his blog site: https://www.excel-university.com/blog/

  6. Only for the percent of use for your Free Lance business that you are doing as a nonemployee. As cbslee pointed out, you can no longer deduct the portion related to employment due to TCJA. Your continued use an an employee does not trigger the exclusive use disallowance. Reg 1280A-2(g)(1) explains that exclusive use means the office cannot be used for nonbusiness purposes. Therefore you still meet the exclusive use test even though your employee use is no longer deductible since it is not considered personal use. What you need to do is allocate the amount of time spent in your office for your free lance business and deduct that portion. ATX has a window for inputting the percent of each business.

  7. I too am using Drake Accounting for payroll processing. Agree it a bit quirky at first but now that I have learned it, no problems.
