Restarting Excel Trainer Ahmedabad in 2025

Excel Trainer Ahmedabad 2025

In the month of November, 2019, I had given up, officially, all hopes of ever earning the tag of "Excel Trainer Ahmedabad" and then, post COVID-19, I stopped going to my office at A-107, Doctor House completely. Partly because the man who owned that office, Dr. Om Prakash Gupta, my father-in-law, had suffered a nasty fall and broken his hip bone and had become completely bed-ridden. Now, this was the man who has always been a great source of inspiration to me, because at the age of 92, he was spunky enough to go for a hip-replacement surgery, even though we (his immediate family, consisting of my wife, Dr. Kamayani Mathur and my mother-in-law, Smt. Sudha Gupta) knew for a fact that he was the last person on earth who could bear the pain of the operation, despite being a doctor himself. You see, this pain-tolerance level was very, very low. Sadly, he passed away in April 2021, and I stopped going to the office shortly thereafter.

I do not mind stating here, that despite the fact that I got quite a few enquiries about the Advanced Excel Course and a few for the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) course, no one ever did turn up to attend the classes. Fees was never the problem, because I always used to say that the student should join the course, take a couple of trial classes for free, and then pay the fees for the course, 50% in advance and 50% on completion of the course. But still, there were no takers for the course.Of course, I was totally downcast and this thought kept nagging me that there was something that I was missing, something so critical that it was simply not occuring to me! I had even had GST Registration done for the EXCEL TRAINER AHMEDABAD institute and registered it. But there were still no takers for this !!

Then that office was shut down and my wife and I took the tough decision to sell the place, and by February 2024, even the sale of the Doctor House property was completed. So, effectively, from May'2021 upto September'2024, there was no activity on the front of anything to do with "Advanced Usage of Microsoft Excel Formulae" or with "Programming the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)" front.

In December'2024, I came across the worksheet depicted above, a multi-column Expenditure & Withdrawal Bank Book Format that was used by me in my own Income-Tax Return for the Assessment Year 2024-2025 (current assessment year). This workbook does not use either any advanced excel formulae, or any VBA Coding at all. But it still managed to inspire the teacher-cum-artist alive inside me - who LOVES Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets and still swears by them DAILY!!

Simultaneously, on 8th October, 2024, I launched my Digital Showroom and my Excel-VBA-AhmFCA FB-Page inspired website. I also realized that there are a very few (slightly more than a handful, actually) Chartered Accountants in Ahmedabad who are into Advanced Visual Basic For Applications Programming and that set me off thinking. Then, I created three Worksheet Catalogues shown below:

I also made a flurry of posts at my Vikram Shankar Mathur (vsmathurcoin) Blog and my Deadly VBA Programmer Blog and on my VikramSMathur Blog, as well.

Finally, I realised, today, on the 14th of January, 2025 that there was a big mistake that I had been doing all along. I was hankering for students and the paucity of them as well, little realising that if no one really knew anything about my capabilities, why would they even come to me?

SO, I AM RELAUNCHING MY EXCEL TRAINER AHMEDABAD PROFILE WITH NO EXPECTATIONS FROM ANYONE TODAY!!
