Excel Consultant

[baraq]

Hi. I am looking at a possible slight career change to become an Excel Consultant.

I have been a business analyst for the last 15 years using Excel as a tool quite extensively and I have a few questions.

1. How do I formalise my Excel skills so I can cover all functionality - MCAS a good option.
2. Should I wait for Excel 2010 or get certified in 2007?
3. Is is necessary to become expert in Access as well to complete the Excel functionality
4. To ensure I am well skilled in all functionality...are there any books, web sites, training one recommends?
5. How does one become a MVP?

Many thanks for any guidance.

Possibly, if the bribery involves money and/or booze!
