I have written quite a lot about Excel for financial modeling over the years. The most popular posts are at "Excel Models and Tips" in the left column and all the Excel posts are in this archive.
There are two ways to improve your Excel skills:
- Review the spreadsheets of others on any of the big document sharing websites
- Work on problems where best practice solutions are provided
The annual Financial Modeling World Championships (www.modeloff.com) start first round competition October 25. To practice for the competition they make available a series of questions and answers called the Modeloff Questions. These are Excel questions that appeared in prior year competitions.
Over 3,000 students and young finance professionals are expected to compete in Hong Kong, London, NY, Sydney and other regional cities for the US$ 100,000 first prize.
The Modeloff folks asked me to support their worldwide competition by promoting the event on this blog. Happy to do it.
