This episode originally aired October 14 2024 on ACB Media 5. Office Space episode 11: Excel begins! It's a dark and stormy night. The wind howls outside, and somewhere in the distance, a wolf bays at the moon. You sit alone in your office, trembling before the eerie glow of your computer screen. The cursor blinks menacingly on a blank Excel worksheet, and the rows and columns stretch out before you like an endless labyrinth of terror. There’s no need to fear, Tyson is sitting down to help unravel this vast field of blank cells starting with navigation of the workbook. We’ll show you how to banish the curse of inaccessibility and create a welcoming worksheet using tools such as the define names and how to rename your sheets.

My name is Tyson Ernst and I have been an educator since 1985 when I began teaching drum students out of my garage. After losing most of my sight in 2005, I began a transformative journey leading to teaching access technology to those who are seeking skills to assist in their daily lives both personally and professionally. Teaching is my passion and passing along the knowledge I have accumulated is the reward.
