Thanks to Everyone for 25 Years!

November 21 1998, I published my first article at MrExcel and then one article a week. That was 25 years ago today.
The WayBack Machine's first glimpse of MrExcel.com is five months later and I was writing about one article a week:

Shortly after this, I launched the MrExcel Message Board using a perl script. All of a sudden, instead of one guy writing articles, MrExcel became a thriving community of people who are way smarter than me. With 1 million threads and five million posts, it is an amazing resource. I want to thank everyone who has been here, posted, lurked. I appreciate the Mods and Admins who maintain order and keep the spammers at bay. Over the years, there have been so many people who have posted amazing content. Thank you to everyone.

Thanks to several of you who conspired with @smozgur - he brought this great wooden 1998-2023 sign over today. It is on my trophy wall and should be visible in the next MrExcel Podcast video after today. Thanks @starl @Oaktree @Joe4 @Peter_SSs @MARK858


In today's YouTube video, I put together a pretty cool Workbook that searches 2400 YouTube videos for search terms. The workbook was a test for a new company called Sheetcast. They converted the Excel workbook to a working web app that is impressive. It was a good test of some modern formulas that they probably did not encounter. Video:
