May I just say how wonderful it is to find a content creator who takes their time explaining and referencing each step! From the bottom of my heart ❤ THANK YOU! 😊 💓
Hi Leila, always a pleasure when you explain thing s so clearly. I am a community health worker and I use validation for collecting data. Your videos help to clarify and organize my data. 👍😊💖
I've been using data validation for a long time but this is a comprehensive tutorial that has taught me more than I knew. Thanks so much, Leila. You're the Queen of Microsoft Excel.
Hi Leila I have Joined an organization where I Do face lots of such problem where I don't have any experience in validation and so on but watching your videos I have just solved all these problems because of the clarity you have in explaining.
I have been using Excel drop-down lists for years and I STILL learned several new things. Thank you so much. That was wonderful. I think I will try that searchable drop-down list video next!
WOW...I spent days trying to figure out a complex drop down list that would fill multiple columns all at once...had most of it figured but couldn't quite get it right...5 minutes of your video and it's done!! THANK YOU! Table reference on another worksheet was the key!
Another wonderful video, Leila. I use validation for dropdowns all the time, using the Indirect/table method. I teach Excel in a US public library and recommend your channel and Udemy courses to all my students.
I wish I had learned this when I was younger. I am 55 and working with time sheets and this could really help me. Your information is helping me understand slowly I will try to lean as much as I can. 😊 Thank you.
I do an annual Fire Department Fire Board report and have to input the mileage logged for each Fire call for the Firefighters. So in past I have had to manually look up the individual FF's response as well as to log what type of call that it was. So this will help in having the addresses in a Validation list as well as the Response times as well as the mileage. Thank you for very clear instructions in all of your training.
Wow. This is the second video I have watched. I thought I was a master but you definitely taught me a lot. Still looking for a certain answer so I will look through your videos to see if you addressed it. Thank you Leila!
For two days now I've been looking for a way to use table data as the dynamic reference when using a list in the data validation. NOW I know how to do it using the Indirect -- go to 7:19 in video. THANK YOU.
Your whole videos are like excel for dummies. I understand every step of what you are doing. They are all so easy when someone explains it clearly. Perfect! Thanks.
Hi Leila, I am really enjoying your Excel classes. I will like to see how programming in the custom function works. Thank you. A big fan from Sierra Leone, West Africa. BR.😊
Leila you make me love EXCEL day after day I never tired of learning with you here and in udemy .although I am not good in English but I get what you say and what you explain
Hi Leila, I'm loving your videos as I've been setting aside time to upgrade my Excel skills. At 13:25 of this video, you mentioned to drop a note if we are looking to learn how to use the custom function and the corresponding formula for the "Company code." Can you direct me to the video or the instructions for this? Thank you!
Great. I was looking for the way to include automatically data in the drop sown today I got it. I tried without formatting the range into Excel table, it works well. I just include the whole the column in the range and use it in the data validation with Indirect. Thanks once again Leila.
I was looking for an hour now to the solution with the indirect-function you show at 6:50 - thank you so much! I was getting so mad... This doesn't seem to be a problem in other tutorials I saw, it always worked without it so the content creator didn't (have to) show this function.
I am a project manager and so need this for recording the tasks I delegate to my people. I just watched the other video you made about the IF formulas, and it's very helpful in making a table for our employee's Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Thank you so much!
Hi your highness This time i have my excuse Exhausted working for 16hours one shot Any way welcome back And for now What a happy thursday having you Thanks for every thing You are amazing Your way gathers rich info and easy explanation Realy thanks
That's not good....so much work...I hope you get to have a weekend now to recover? You're very welcome for the video and thank you for still dropping by and learning about Excel even after probably working with Excel the whole day!
Hi Leila, thanks for all your effort. It worths watching your excel tutorials. Please share such tutorials on word and ppt. No one made a good video worth watching yet. Hope you can do.
Am generating a template for estimates which consists of plant, labor and materials. So I use data validation for PLM and then "lookup" to generate the appreciate rates. I used the name manager privously but thanks to this vid, I can switch to tables which will automate all my changes. Great content.
Hi Leila, Love your tutorials! I am new to Excel but I am learning a lot thanks to your UA-cam Channel! You are my go-to source when I run into a problem! Thanks Again! Please Keep Up the Good Work!!!
This really save my stress! Please I would like to know how to search when you have a very long list validated or how to use few letters to get a validated word in the list
Hi mam am a big fan of ur teachings!!! We can also add to the table without naming the table in the source without using indirect formula, I think we can skip this step as it automatically takes the new rows added!!!
Sensational, Leila! It helped a lot! I needed exactly the solution at minute 5:44 (Using Table References). Congratulations on the excellent video! And thank you very much!
engineer here. i use data validation a lot. and the best use is for choosing materials (pipe, elastomers, etc). what i have is a series of columns that all include data validations. as you pick them, the resulting pipe size, material grade, etc., is chosen from a chart where i use the index+match combo to choose. it's very convenient, quick, and best of all, doesn't require flipping thru hard copy charts (in small print) and possibly making errors.
As usual you add just another extra layer to excel functions I thought I already master:) It's always worth it to watch your basic videos no matter how advanced you are! Thanks Leila!
Brilliant - as always when Leila delivers work. I use validations frequently and still learned a ton watching your video. Thank you for all your hard work - you really are making a difference!
Thank you for your video! Even on functionality I know, you always teach me something new about it :) And yes, I would love to see a video on using the custom formula option to validate the user's entry is within the prescribed syntax.
Hi Leila I got so far a lot of inspirations from your channel, no need to mention that we love you and appreciate the channel. I'm in a mission to establish a project with many activities (tasks and subtasks) with many financing sources, I'm looking to be inspired by an excel sheet where i can track every single task/activity and control the planned budget + actual expenses. The main challenge for me is to produce flexible reports the would be extracted from an excel sheet journal using tools to filter the report as (total, by a task, by a financing source etc) Any tips or links are highly appreciated. Thanks
Thank you for your videos. Always so informative. In regards to data validation, I just selected the column in the source and whatever I add later in that column will appear automatically.
Hi Leila, It's always wonderful to watch your videos. And as you rightly said; it's really useful when the spreadsheet is going to be used by many users. Using data validation, one can easily take care of the obvious mistakes that users could make. Lovely.
Leila, Really appreciate what you are doing and keep going as if I don`t know anything , Just I prefer your channel to get what I need Many Thanks, You mentioned that according to " I need the video according to company code starting with letter beside numbers )) and Thank you in advance
Wonderful! Ive used data validation when creating Adobe forms, but didn't know how to do it in excel until today. Thank you. I was searching high and low date validation and you provided it easily along with other helpful nuggets. How do you do data validation to require dollar amounts? I see decimals, but I would like the dollar sign included.
Hello Leila, thank you for the video + other videos as I’m busy upgrading my excel knowledge. I was recently ask to create overtime sheet for all the employees so that account can cost and I didn’t want to type the names and the divisions every time and drop down will be ideal for this exercise
Nice video, all information u share in this video is nice. I most of time use data validation when I want to share my file with other people who don't put wrong information. One new learning from this video is the indirect function use in data validation for pic data from a table. Thanks u mam.

Any tips or links are highly appreciated.
