So far I have learnt lots of useful excel skills from you and various people, and I am hopeful that I can do what I need to do because of you. May God bless you abundantly.

Chandoo, this was really enlightening. The topic almost threw me away "Excel'. I suggest you should use more general titles as you hardly taught anything about Excel in this video. Thanks for all the tips. There are in my pocket now and I will surely rewatch this video
Thanks Bayo. I will test out alternative title and thumbnail for this sometime. It is doing great compared to my other videos. So I am not gonna mess with it for now :)
