    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.

    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.

  • @hanskdavis
    @hanskdavis 5 років тому

    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.

    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

    Another informative video Leila👏 Well done! I love the validation tools and thought I new all the tricks. Your video showed me more. At work my job is to prepare reports from the data so validation ensures the data is clean.
