He has produced over 2500 episodes of his Excel video podcast “Learn Excel from MrExcel.” He was a three-time commentator for the Excel World Championships broadcast on ESPN.

He worries a lot about the Excel advice that is given by the new artificial intelligence tools and wonders how his former Accounting 101 professor would react to the concept of a bot hallucinating accounting results that change from day to day.

However, he is cautiously honing a MrExcel-GPT bot with all of the knowledge from hundreds of hours of his YouTube videos and books. Before founding MrExcel.com in 1998, Jelen spent twelve years as a financial analyst for the accounting, finance, marketing, and operations departments of a publicly held company.
