If you have a passion, don't be afraid to follow it. Be consistent, work hard, don't give up and great things can happen.
Many of you here know me for the blockchain data posts I use to do. Some of you know I am the owner of @theexcelclub, my business account here on Hive. For many years now I have been blogging about Excel and Power BI, and using these tools in a variety of ways. Its been a passion, which I turned into a career.
Yesterday I received notification from Microsoft that I had been awarded the MVP status. The letter below details what this award is about.
Good job the pubs are back open (although its bookings only) - Now I have a great excuse to go :-)
Congratulations @paulag. Great to have my buddy in the program.
Ohhhhhhh look whos here, now there is a surprise
Thanks Alan, Great to see you embrace the block 😀
Congratulations. That is so great, I can honestly say you are the first MVP that I have ever interacted with, and it was your excel chart post that got me learning how to do the pie charts in libre office. A very well deserved reward.
what a lovely comment @bashadow, most of the time my Excel posts gain little attention here, but when I read something like that, it makes it well worth my time. Thank you very very much :-)
A lot of what is posted in your excell community does translate to other programs, I have learned how to use LibreCalc mostly from your excel post, like linking data from one spreadsheet to another or from one file to another and tying them together to auto update. Pretty useful stuff. So when I get stuck I first cruise through the excel post. Most of it is way above my level, but still helpful.
MVP!
Very impressive, well done Paula!
@abh12345 I was going to message you last night to tell you, but then seems I have not been in touch in so long, I decided not too. I'm so super excited. Now I need to buy like tonnes of hive to kick start the community. I'm a little out of touch on the developments with communities, I might ping you with some questions over the next few days if that's good with you :-)
That would be grand :) You can join me on 100k?
Feel free to ping :)
100K- damn dude, it will take me a long time to catch up with that. Well done you. I need to be your BBF again 😂
Congratulations Paula!
Thank you kindly @novacadian

yepppeee @dalz Im an MVP - how cool is that
😎😎😎😎😎
I’m super happy for you girl 👧
@Nathanmars - I have been watching you closely on twitter. I promise I will be back, just finding it hard time-wise as you know. Another 8 weeks till the kids return to school and hopefully I will have time to champion Hive as much as I champion Excel. You know my plan to bring an Excel community to Hive, well it's still going to happen. I'm so glad you are back :-)
We’re decentralised community and while I was taking break you guys worked hard during hardfork.
So it’s my turn now. Please focus on your family and I know you’ll be back when you’re ready.

Stay safe - talk soon
