LEX provides Australian farmers with personalised Excel spreadsheet coaching and tools, enabling them to make smarter farm decisions that boost productivity and profitability.Â
Your farm.
Our expertise.
Shared success.
We know that for many farmers, the thought of an Excel spreadsheet does not bring about fond memories...
It could be that you've 'broken' someone else's spreadsheet and they've never trusted you since.
Or your bank has asked you for a cashflow budget but you have no idea where to start.Â
Or you attended an Excel course for a day, but without follow up, found yourself back at square one a month later.Â
Don't worry. We get it. That's why we've created LEX.Â
Think of LEX as another farm toolbox, but instead of the impact driver, the spanner set and the hammer, it contains an array of spreadsheets, cheat sheets and short videos all tailored to meet your farm data and decision needs.Â
What makes this toolbox different to other Excel resources out there is that it comes with its own one on one Excel coach. Think of this coach like a mobile mechanic providing one on one support for your farm needs to get you up and running.Â

How can we help you?
There's a few ways we support farmers with their excel spreadsheets:
1
Starting from scratch
You may have an idea of what you want to achieve in a spreadsheet but not be sure how to go about it. This could be estimating cash flow, organising soil test records, or sorting NLIS tags.
Â
Here we can plan and build your vision together.Â

Using "off the shelf" excel templates created by LEX.Â
LEX has a growing number of ready to use templates, including cashflows, statement of positions, personal budgets and paddock planners. All with easy to follow instructions and example tabs.Â
​
Together, we can modify these templates to suit your business.Â
2
Improve an existing template
Need to improve a spreadsheet? You may have a spreadsheet that is doing the job but there is double handling of data involved, or formulas that aren't behaving, resulting in #NA, #REF or #DIV, etc., or it really just could be better.Â
​
Let's turn that spreadsheet into a high performing tool together.Â

Excel 101
New to Excel and want to learn the basics? We've got you covered with one on one coaching and bespoke resources on a timeline that suits you. Â
All the above options come with one on one practical guidance bespoke to your needs.Â
​We deliver consistent, short spurts of Excel guidance to build your confidence in Excel over time using your numbers. Â
This can be via face to face or via video call.Â
