“There’s enough of us here to start a crime wave.”
-Vincent “Vinnie” Antonelli
Just spent 90 minutes on the phone with Dick Moffat, of http://dmoffat.wordpress.com/ and formerly a big part of OfficeZealot. Longtime Excel and Access developer and consultant, we met before several times in Redmond but this was our longest chat to date.
And, of course, he is super excited about PowerPivot. Like me, he thinks it’s not only a big deal for the BI universe, but also a tremendous infusion of new excitement and potential for the Excel pro and Office Developer communities.
So, here I am in my new digs in Ohio (moved here in August after 13 years in Redmond) and suddenly discovering that it’s a hotbed of PowerPivot interest! Mr. Excel is in Akron. Dick Moffat is just across the lake in Canada. MizzDataViz, the official best friend of PowerPivotPro and recent ex-Microsoftie, is um, much closer than that.
There are more of you out there, I am sure. In fact I’ve heard from a couple of you already.
If I organized some sort of lightweight get-together in Ohio for PowerPivot professionals, how much interest would there be? Send me an email, post a comment, etc.
