Team EF

The names were shortlisted on the basis of the number of posts and the reputation points collected in 2014.

[Tony Valko]

I voted for Ford Dibbins.

EDIT: Not only is Ford very helpful to many posters, he's also an excellent moderator and should be considered for forum administrator.

[TMS]

Agreed. Good pick.

[vlady]

+1, Merry Christmas to All.

[TMS]

Can I ask why this is in Suggestions for Improvement and not more visible in the Water Cooler? And should it not be bannered?

[Fotis1991]

No need a poll for this. Not even a list!

FDibbins is the one that you are looking for!

So many times I have found solutions to different issues that I have had working with VBA, and have found answers to questions, from so many devoted contributors, that I can't remember all of their names. I wish all of them the very best. Thank you all so much!

My vote goes to TMS he helped me out with formulas that I have use in other projects. And after explaining it, it became easier each time I used it.

Pete_UK, He helped me with my excel question.

I haven't had to ask a question yet but have noticed these names in the threads I have browsed. Good luck to all...I appreciate your help!

[RxMiller]

Glad to get the email, what low voter turn out for all the excellent support all of them provide to the community.
Happy Holidays

Now, how about some end of year deals so we can write them off of this year's taxes?

[Aimee S.]

Jaslake gets my vote in spades, despite his not being on this list. He helped me so much that he even went as far as to work back and forth with iterations of a file via email, testing code, and going well beyond the call of duty. Merry Christmas JASLAKE!!!! And Happy Holidays to everyone here!

[MattInLa]

Alright already, I'm getting WAY too many emails harrassing me to vote for this ridiculousness, thank YOU! Come on guys, off with the propeller hats - more "game of thrones" frivolity, please! Whew!

I used the Commercial side of Excel Forum and was totally delighted with the patience and expertise of Zbor.
What a great outcome -I hope for both of us. I felt he enjoyed the challenges as much as I enjoyed his work. Well done, Zbor!

[Jim885]

While the choices were all great. I was surprised that I didn't see shg and a few others on the list.

[billdata]

Thanks, Jerry for all your help over the years. And happy Christmas and a super New Year to you and all the 'Helpers'. Keep up the good work. What would we do without you?!

[daffodil11]

It's so hard to pick just one..

[Mahaz]

I work in O&G company and Excel Forum is one place where I've always find solutions to my Excel Issues.
I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for providing solutions and spreading knowledge with your own precious time. Guys like you make this world a better place.
Happy Season's Greeting and Merry Christmas

[Scshot]

I do not understand what is going on. when I am not logged in the voting buttons are visible, but you can not vote if not logged in. BUT when I login the only option I have is the poll results. Every time I click on vote here I only get the results. k0st4din sent me a link same thing, was not logged in so I got a message that I had to login, but of course when I logged in all I could get was the results. Maybe the forum dislikes Win 8.1 as much as I do...

[Scshot]

This is interesting, I have 3 browsers Seamonkey, Chrome, and IE. With SM and Chrome I see my previous posts. But with IE this my 3rd posting and is the only here.. But things are consistent only results no buttons. I was wrong I thought new post are at the end of the posting, wrong, just the end of that page. anyway I still get only results after logging in. Me and computers are not getting along lately...

Okay, what's up with this "Voters 99. You may not vote on this poll" why am I not allowed to vote? I just noticed that in the upper right hand corner.

[jaslake]

Merry Christmas Aimee S...happy to be of assistance.

When I saw this Thread I could only say "Wow"...so many issues, so many problems, so many "Suggestions For Improvement", so many things broken.

I do wish you all a Merry Christmas...I do wish EF Management would FOCUS.

Even at 73 years I believe in Santa...EF Management and Tech Team, be OUR Santa...we'll be eternally grateful.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Edit: I second the Vote for Shg...

[Jagdev]

Hi Team

This is a wonderful way to thanks these list of people. I would like to vote all of them, because I believe they all are the best.

Regards,
Jagdev

[consulting]

You GURU's are doing an excellent job. Impossible to single out one person. You all get my vote.

Wish I had a repository of all the tips over the years. Problem is when you are using Excel from a business perspective, you often forget that what can be done and then when you remember or need something, you know there was something you read somewhere. But WHERE?

So some sort of category search or tags or listing would be great!

I trust will all have a Blessed time when we reflect on the important events over 2000 years ago.

[kamlesh0905]

None this year I am Santa

[naveen041]

Merry Christmas

[rajeshturaha]

MY VOTE TO SIXTH SENSE.
So many time i have seek help from Sixth Sense, and he have done.
I would also like to thank benishiryo & FDibbins for their contributions, but there is only one vote that i can make.

Merry Christmas and a HAPPY NEW Year to all members of this forum.

[FDibbins]

Im sure I echo the sentiments of the others who have been nominated and thanked here, I feel extremely grateful and humbled by the comments many of you have made. It is these sort of remarks and comments that for me, makes helping here so worth while - I thank you all for the very kind and motivating words

[asvanthi]

Even though I am not an active member. I benefited from this forum.

[Vikas_Gautam]

For me, all are Santas.
I have learnt a lot from all of them.
But I have to choose a one. and I did..

[lorenzob19]

Hi I really apprciate this forum for Excel / VBA help and guidence. Normally I am on a mission looking for a known solution and hence I do not get the opportunity to say thankyou to everyone that contributes their thoughts, time and creativity. I really apprciate this and wanted to say thank you.

[Scshot]

I just replied to this but it did not post. "Voters 134. You may not vote on this poll" I guess I should take the hint and go else where...
I wonder if this will post?

[FDibbins]

Scshot, I will let admin know you are having problems here

[Scshot]

Thanks

I do not understand the "You may not vote on this poll". My only guess is I'm not an active enough user.

[FDibbins]

Im not sure what the requirements are for this, it is a brand new thing management have started

[Scshot]

I appreciate your assistance with this!

[FDibbins]

The matter has been taken up with EFManagement, hopefully it will be resolved shortly. Please keep me posted - either here or by PM

Good luck

[Scshot]

Thanks for your help!

[Glenn Kennedy]

A crying shame you can only vote once (in my part of the world "vote early & vote often" is/was the norm - the graveyards used to empty on election day...).

Anyway:

Thanks all for advice offered to my problems and corrections made to my "solutions" to the problems of others.

[Norie]

Is this 'election' for Santa PR or first past the post?

[Norie]

Oops, forgot about STV.

[ThePhebus]

I've been a lurker for quite a while and I couldn't begin to remember all the help I've received over the ages. I just want to echo the sentiment of others that ALL the help is appreciated. (Also, it says I'm not allowed to vote in the poll anyway...)

[mridul2cool]

Please tell me why I am not able to vote....

[mridul2cool]

some body help me please..

[mridul2cool]

View Poll Results: Vote for your Excel Forum Santa! Voters 141. You may not vote on this poll

[FDibbins]

We are aware of this, the tech team are trying to fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience

[Ali H. Almatar]

Thanks allot
I gain allot of your forum

[greggy99]

Done!

Merry Christmas... ^_^

[CRFaig]

Just submitted my vote for the awesome Benishiryo. Beni has been an absolute credit to this forum in my eyes.

[pervezjan]

I have observed the best forum of excel. The forum is giving knowledge of excel to the new and old users. I appreciate the efforts of the members

[enofman]

I have used so many helpful hints I'm unsure who to thank, so it would have to be all of the members who give of their time and knowledge.

[dbsbender]

This was incredibly difficult. I have had the help of quite a few from this forum for which I am so very grateful. I have voted, but I do thank each and every one of you who are so very kind to read, consider and respond. We all learn from each other, making this world just a little bit smaller.

[tuph]

Have a wonderful, safe Christmas and New Year everyone!

[benishiryo]

surprised to see my name being nominated since i haven't been active for a long while. even more surprised that i got that many votes!

must have been the Tips & Tutorials - http://www.excelforum.com/tips-and-t...e-learned.html

so thank you for those who have voted!

ps: i like the pic by Debraj Roy of SixthSense

[LJMetzger]

It's not fair that I have only one vote, because all the nominees are winners in my eyes.

Having said that, I would like to nominate three contributors that seem to be left off the list. In alphabetical order:
a. Andy Pope
b. RomperStomper (Rory)
c. shg (from the great state of Texas)

I apologize to all those others who are worthy of being nominated, for being overlooked from the list by the committee and by me.

[amlan009]
