Bob Umlas, Excel MVP – Help from the Excel Experts

This is the fifth in a series of interviews targeting people who “Make a Difference” in the Excel community. Authors, Blog Writers, Teachers, excel support gurus, etc. If they are a Microsoft Excel expert — then I am trying to tackle them and get them to speak to you here. Many of these interviews will be video skype interviews, and others will be text.

Bob Umlas, Author and the longest running Excel MVP. Bob has been working with Excel since version 0.99.  He has written several Excel books and is the technical editor of Bill Jelen’s Mr Excel books.  In this interview, Bob explains how the Excel MVP program started, and how he became involved in the summit.  Additionally, Bob explains leaves his email address and tells you how you can get in contact with him.  This is an audio interview, so hit play…  put on your headphones… and tune in.
