Can You Spot the Power Pivot Blogger In this Picture?
A Little Scarce…
Last week at the PASS BA Conference, Matt Allington was giving me grief about having not written enough blog posts lately.
He is right of course. It hit me pretty hard, to hear that, even though I already knew it.
Doubly so since writing turns out to be one of the most rewarding things I do.
Well, I have a reason. There’s a long-running personal matter that has been consuming an ever-increasing share of time over the past year.
No, I’m not sick, nor is anyone else. Everyone is (and is going to be) fine, but that doesn’t make it any easier.
It’s all finally coming to a conclusion this week and next. Wish me luck. If it comes out correctly, I will be “back” in a big way. If not… well, then I’ll still redouble my efforts here. This site, and you folks, are “home” for me in an important sense.
Thanks everyone for being here, for reading this, and for being so great to me (us) over the years.
Stay tuned for our normal guest post on Thursday, and watch this space for news late next week if all goes well.
I also need to circle back with the results of the hardware/perf survey. If you haven’t run that test yet, please consider it so that it makes the results more valid.
Thanks,

Rob,
Whatever it is, wishing you (and the powerpivotpro community) success in a big way!
Hi Stranger,
When in doubt, flip a coin, head means “Just do IT” tail means “consider flipping the coin again!”

Good luck! Hope everything turns out correctly.
Hey Rob,
Wish you luck and strength!

Rob, we all really look forward to reading new posts from you (and I wish you all the best!)
Since I had the honor of meeting you in Cleveland for the PowerPivot training this February, I know you have your priorities straight and know that the love you have for your family is honest, deep and sincere. I hope everything works out well.
Best wishes Rob
