About Atul Vij

AJ

Hi, I’m Atul Vij — builder of automation tools and founder of Atulya AI.

By day I live in spreadsheets and enterprise systems — Excel and VBA, SAP, Oracle Smart View and Essbase. By night I build software that removes the boring parts of that work, and I write down everything I learn here.

How I write

🧪Tested before publishing

Every formula and macro is run on real data before it goes up.

📎Practice files

Most tutorials come with a workbook, document or script you can download and try.

🪜Step by step

Exact clicks, cells and expected results — not just theory.

🔁Kept up to date

When Excel or a tool changes, the post is updated and marked with a new date.
