Hi, I’m Sumit Bansal. I teach Excel.
I started TrumpExcel in 2013 because I kept finding Excel tricks at work and figured other people could use them too.
Today it’s a library of free Excel tutorials and videos. Millions of people use the site and the YouTube channel to learn Excel, which still surprises me.
If you love spreadsheets, or you’re just trying to get through them at work, there’s a lot here for you.
How a spreadsheet habit turned into a full-time job
Excel found me at work
I started my career as a financial analyst. Excel was most of my day, every day.
It didn’t take long to notice that knowing the right formula or shortcut was the difference between finishing on time and staying late. So I kept digging, and the more I learned, the more I realized how much Excel can actually do.
TrumpExcel started as a side project
Every time I figured something out, I’d write a tutorial or record a video about it.
My logic was simple. If it saved me time, it would probably save someone else time too. That was the whole plan.
It’s what I do full-time
I now work on TrumpExcel full-time. My days go into making tutorials and videos, and testing different ways to explain something until one of them clicks.
After 15+ years of teaching Excel, I still learn something new most weeks.
Microsoft named me an Excel MVP. Thirteen times.
Microsoft gives the MVP (Most Valuable Professional) award to people who share what they know and help others learn. I’ve received it 13 times.
It’s a big honor, and it makes all those late nights spent untangling array formulas and VBA macros feel a little more reasonable.

Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to be mentioned in some publications and podcasts I really respect.
