		<itunes:summary>Charles Williams is probably best known for his work in Excel calculation speed and VBA performance, not to mention the worlds most famous Excel Addin Name Manager. In truth, he’s a expert in many areas of Excel and on top of all this he’s a great bloke. In this podcast we got down and dirty with Excel performance, uncovering some interesting insights along the way. It was a true pleasure talking with Charles.



Charles in the founder of Decisions Models, a consulting firm specialising in Excel development, and the farther of the FastExcel addin, we talked about this addin and how it works and also his addin loader tool. This is one for the archives!

Thanks to Charles for making the time and sharing his knowledge with us all.</itunes:summary>

Purna runs a great Excel site Pointy Haired Dilbert, it really is super, but I reckon that anyone who reads this will know that much already. He has an MBA from IIM Indore and Computer Science degree from Andhra University, and he’s an Excel MVP, of course!  only the best for the readers (and listeners) of Methods In Excel.

One thing I didn’t know about Purna is his ability to multi task, the bat eared amongst you will be able to detect Chandoo simultaneously talking and typing away… no doubt writing some more excellent blog posts for PHD!</itunes:summary>
