    First time viewer here. I just subscribed and “liked” based on this one video alone.
    I’m hoping your other videos are just as incredible because I usually don’t subscribe anywhere until I’ve seen several videos from any site.
    Thank you so much for this.
    I’ve been using excel (home use) for decades and I didn’t know 80% of what I learned here today. 😊

  • @smody121
    @smody121 2 місяці тому +2

    As someone who works as a research analyst in Finance, a lot of these are certainly "time savers" but when you're building models and spreadsheets for the real world, error avoidance and clean scaling potential are incredibly important factors that need to be considered when analyzing data. So while it's great you can save time here and there, I would caution people to actually take the long way, prioritizing those factors instead of building your spreadsheet sub-optimally because they conform to some of the available shortcuts. I'm sure that was clear as mud.

    • @sharonjackson494
      @sharonjackson494 3 дні тому

      Where would you suggest to start. I’m new at this

    • @smody121
      @smody121 3 дні тому +1

      @sharonjackson494 best way to learn is to do. Build a spreadsheet. Use as many shortcuts as you can think of. Do it again with another spreadsheet. Rinse and repeat. Unplug your mouse for hard mode, but it's worth it. 90% of the time there will be a keyboard shortcut that you need to Google and learn how to do. That's a decent start, should take weeks if not months to get fluent. Then you can layer on ideas around optimizing the spreadsheet size etc

    The case that allows you to transpose must be the pivot table. Would it be after using SQL to obtain the main n then use that n factor in order to get the desirable outcome? one thing is hard to learn here in Linked in is that we know the tips and tricks but we can't imagine what and when scenario we can use it! Thanks for the interesting clip!

      Hi Ted! Thanks for your kind note! As far as which Excel skills are most in demand, I'm not sure which would be most beneficial as it sorta depends on your role/company. But, to generalize, I'd recommend a solid foundation of functions and formulas, PivotTables, Power Query, and Power Pivot. These Excel skills would be beneficial to many Excel users.

    In Hack 4 where you can use fill series-drag with right click-paste as values only; I realise this is really great for converting formulas instantly to values, but do you have a solid hack for converting text to values? I’m not sure why but often the recommended routes don’t work - eg add a 1 in a cell, copy, select the “text” you want as numbers - paste special value & multiply. Still not numbers aargh.
