What You Can Find on the Peltier Tech Blog

Updated

The Peltier Tech blog is the article and tutorial section of peltiertech.com, a site focused on Excel charting and programming. It is the place to go for written guidance on building and fixing Excel charts, plus programming techniques that support them. The homepage lists "Blog" and "Blog Index" in its navigation and highlights a "Cornerstone Posts" section, so the blog functions as an organized library rather than a single feed.

What the blog covers

Based on the site's stated focus, the blog sits alongside three other parts of Peltier Tech: charting software, consulting, and training. The blog is the free, self-serve knowledge layer of that set.

Its subject matter follows the site's core expertise:

  • Excel charting — the site describes itself as "a World Leader in Excel Charting" and treats charting as "a vital part of data analytics."
  • Excel programming — the site's own subtitle is "Excel Charts and Programming," and its training topics include VBA programming.
  • Data analytics and visualization — training topics span formulas, charting, Tables and Pivot Tables, Power Query, VBA, and dashboard reports, which indicates the blog's likely range.

How the blog is organized

Element What it gives you
Blog The main stream of posts
Blog Index A browsable list of articles, useful when you want to find a topic rather than scroll
Cornerstone Posts Selected foundational or reference articles the site treats as key reading

The presence of a Blog Index matters if you arrive with a specific problem: it lets you scan titles instead of reading chronologically. Cornerstone Posts are the better starting point if you are new and want the core material first.

When the blog is the right resource

Use the blog when you want to:

  • Learn a charting technique or understand why a chart behaves the way it does.
  • Find a programming approach for an Excel task.
  • Read up before deciding whether you need the site's add-ins, consulting, or training.

Consider the other offerings instead when you need a ready-made tool or hands-on help. The site's add-ins provide "custom chart types that are difficult and tedious to build in Excel," and its consulting work has covered VBA- and template-based projects, commercial add-ins, and report builders. One described project cut a customer's monthly reporting effort from two weeks to one day.

Practical notes

  • The blog is in English (the site's language is en-US).
  • No pricing or login requirements for the blog are stated in the available site information, so treat access terms as unconfirmed rather than assuming the content is unrestricted.
  • The homepage does not enumerate individual blog posts, so use the Blog Index to see what is actually published.

If your goal is to solve a specific Excel charting or programming problem yourself, start with the Blog Index and the Cornerstone Posts; if you would rather have the capability built for you, look at the charting software and consulting pages instead.
