Editorial standards

Fact Checking & Editorial Guidelines

Every article on Excel TV is held to a published editorial standard. The goal: accurate, current, and useful — without filler.

  1. Expert review. Drafts on technical Excel topics are reviewed by a contributor with hands-on, working knowledge of the feature being covered.
  2. Source validation. Claims about Excel behavior are tested in current Microsoft 365 builds. Third-party product claims are sourced from the vendor's own documentation.
  3. Disclosure. Affiliate links, sponsorships, and any commercial relationships that influenced a piece are disclosed in-line and at the foot of the article.
  4. Updates. Articles are revisited when Microsoft ships changes that affect the content. The most recent revision date is shown on every post.

Subject-matter review

Reviewed by Subject Matter Experts

Technical Excel articles are reviewed by contributors with verifiable, hands-on experience in the topic — not generalist editors.

  • Qualified reviewers. Reviewers include Microsoft Excel MVPs, working business-intelligence practitioners, and Excel TV editorial staff. See each author's page for credentials.
  • Current to a known Excel build. Procedural articles state which Excel version they were validated against. Where Microsoft has since changed behavior, the article carries an inline update note.
  • Clarity check. Reviewers verify steps are reproducible by a reader at the assumed skill level — not just technically correct in a vacuum.
