[E.C. 4 of 7] Format entire Excel sheets in one click!


Hey Reader,

Welcome to day 4 of our Excel journey. After a surprise lesson yesterday, today we are getting back on track with the Page Layout Ribbon.

Many people use this ribbon mainly for arranging objects in their sheets or modifying their sheet settings.

But there's another option that doesn't get enough attention.

If you've been following me for a while, you've probably seen my beautifully designed templates.

As you might expect, achieving such results requires a lot of formatting.

A lot.

From text to colors, it's a tedious process.

But there's a way to format entire charts and tables to what you need with just a click of a button.

In today's lesson, I'll show you how to create themes to save lots of time, while still maintaining visual appeal every time you present something.

If you regularly create reports or presentations in Excel, this feature will save you so much time.

It allows you to maintain a consistent look across all your documents without having to manually format each element every time.

As always, there will be resources to help you apply what you learn.

You'll be able to practice creating your own themes and see how quickly you can transform your spreadsheets.

After you've watched the video and tried creating your own theme, I'd love to hear how it went.

Did you find it useful?

Can you see yourself using this in your work?

Tomorrow, we'll be diving into the Formula ribbon, where I'll show you a nifty trick for troubleshooting complex formulas.

Hey Reader, As we close out 2025, I've been doing a lot of reflecting. Not just on what went right - but on what went wrong. Because if I'm being honest, this year humbled me in ways I didn't expect.I made mistakes. I got called out. I had to rethink how I approach almost everything. And while it wasn't always comfortable, those lessons ended up being the most valuable part of my year. So today, as we head into 2026, I want to share five things 2025 taught me the hard way. What We’re going to...

There were eight of us in that classroom. Eighth grade. "Remedial science." A polite way of saying: these students don't get it. I remember staring at the poster on the wall - pictures of cells, diagrams of atoms - and feeling embarrassed. Everyone else seemed to understand this stuff. Why didn't I? The teacher would explain mitochondria - "the powerhouse of the cell" - and I'd just sit there. What does that even mean? I couldn't picture it. Couldn't visualize any of it. Biology was abstract....

Hey Reader, I used to check my bank account way too often. We'd finish client work, send the invoice, and then... I'd just wait. Checking QuickBooks every couple days to see if payment came through. Wondering if I needed to send another reminder. It wasn't just the waiting. It was the mental space it took up. I'm trying to work on forecasts for clients but I'm thinking about who still owes us money. I see the same thing with so many of the firm owners and consultants I talk to. Accountants,...
