1. Automate tasks

2. Save time

3. Do what you love

Using Excel inefficiently is causing you stress and making you miss out on what is important.

Manual Excel processes suck up huge amounts of time that you will never get back.
Spending too many hours at work means you miss out on time with your children.
Working during your lunch breaks, evenings and weekends means you never have opportunity to truly relax.

Work colleagues change the numbers at the last minute, causing you to work late while they leave on time.
Tight deadlines are always looming and constantly make you feel stressed.
Every month you feel like you perform the same repetitive tasks, and will be for every month going forward.

Excel Off The Grid teaches people all over the world how to take back control and reclaim their time.

“I had been teaching myself all things Excel and Power Automate via searches for one-off solutions. It was frustrating because I didn’t know how to connect all the pieces into a working solution. I needed structure to my learning. Mark’s courses provided that and more. His automation framework helped bring together all the disparate best practices and concepts that I had been dancing around.”

Tanya McIlravy

“What originally convinced me to join Excel off the Grid was the bi-weekly Members Sessions. During the bi-weekly Live Members Sessions, students are able to share their screen (while hiding confidential data) and Mark will solve the problem live! I realized that Mark doesn’t just provide courses on how to get better in Excel, he teaches you how to solve problems and automate the solution.”

Start saving time

Read my story

“Something’s got to change…” they were the words spinning around my mind as I sat in my car. I had just arrived home from work; it was 11pm.

It had become a common routine. Sometimes it was 9:30pm, sometimes it was 11:30pm. The exact time was largely irrelevant. What mattered was that I had missed seeing my children…again.

I had a young family, and wanted to be around and see them grow up. But because of this job, I never saw my children, I hardly saw my wife, and most days I didn’t even see daylight.

The solution was obvious, I needed to get more done in less time.

The experts were telling me that keyboard shortcuts could save 15 minutes per day. Not enough. I needed hours, not minutes.

I set out on a mission to find the best ways to use Excel and save time.

Though this, I discovered there are tools and methods in Excel that work really well together. So well, in fact, that they could automate entire processes, and change hours of work into minutes.

I want to help you achieve this for yourself. So I’ve put all this learning together into a simple structure that you can follow and get the benefits too.
