I find I have two types of clients:

1. Those that know what they want and need a little support to get there, getting the benefit of some accelerated learning on the job - and utilising their knowledge of the business, and;
2. Those that don't have particularly strong Excel skills in-house - and probably don't need them - who not only need me to do it for

I've always been in a situation where I've learned new techy skills on the job. In the main, my employers have been happy for me to do this, as they've usually had some idea of the kind of thing they want without either the knowhow nor the savvy to seek out the solutions themselves.

Whilst I agree that, in some cases, I have been essentially paid to learn things when I

Thanks for your comments. I am certain that the employers benefited in both of our cases. My question is whether they would have benefited more by me bringing in an expert that would have done this a great deal quicker, ensuring I had more time to do work that didn't require me learning on the job.

I think your third point is an interesting one, and I believe this

"I have always fiddled with Excel until I got it to do what I wanted. For me, personally, it has worked out very well as I turned the skills I developed as a result into a successful business!"

This is the same for me.

Was it good for my employer(s)? First, I had many small workbooks for various tasks, related to my role as an R&D scientist. Second, it would

Why not use both? Google has an online spreadsheet. Doing this can give you a chance to work online even if your file isn't on your computer.
You can also use free SEO tools online.

I agree with the article topic you have posted. Google Spreadsheet can bring some problems especially if a lot of people are working on that same sheet. Of course, if you wanted to change something but the other is also working, the changes will just be a waste of time since he might think that you are changing what he's doing.

There are free online tools that you can use, but when it comes to company information, I suggest you buy tools so you can be sure of the security.

I actually don't see any major problems in using a spreadsheet. The only thing about it is that you should buy it but a lot of people can't afford it. Using an online database application is better in that case.

A monster? No. They wear hoodies.

Your son seems to be a considered, self aware and thoughtful young man.

If he was ever to go on Dragon's Den sounds like he would really be able to hold his own - as opposed to some of the make weights who are simply there to be ripped to shreds for a TV audience!!
