  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.

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.
