[@alansorin1702]

I have been using Excel for over 30 years. I can teach Excel for the average user. I learned several things from this video. Everything was explained simply!!

[@DanielLamarche]

As an Excel instructor, I just love to see the faces of the participants when I give a cool demonstration of Flash Fill. Priceless!!!!! BTW the shortcut for Flashfill is Ctrl+E

[@robertcurtis6209]

Thanks for the shortcut

[@mymatemartin]

Same. I've been training excel for 25 years and still get a buzz from the Lights On moment you see in students faces. 😊

The word hack has been hacked. Useful commands to know. Thanks for posting.

[@maheshreddy2762]

One of the best I saw on KZbin in this year, 2023. Thank you for wonderful tips

[@moneymarosx]

I knew some of these, but wow, you showed so many new ways for each of the tools. Excellent content.

[@wayneyadams]

The amount of time, work, and aggravation you saved me is absolutely amazing!

[@jacqueshollands5630]

This is one of the better, if not the best, videos on time-saving in Excel. I consider myself an advanced user, but never knew about the Alt = function, particularly when you have two tables next to each other.

[@ExcelU]

Thank you so much for your kind note, I sincerely appreciate it :)

[@Bynggo]

Wow. Thank you. Everyone is going to think I’m brilliant now. Off to play with Excel. Thank you for making work fun.

[@stopdrinkingleftskoolaid6510]

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. 😊

[@ExcelU]

Welcome aboard ... and thanks for your kind note :)

[@johnmosheim]

The best Excel post I’ve seen recently.

[@johnk7267]

Wow these are phenomenal, Jeff! Thanks for sharing.

[@alvinuy6628]

Love the simplicity and pace. Appreciate learning time saving hacks #4 to 7. Thank you very much.

[@martinbecklen6486]

Phenomenal clarity. Such practical information. Thank you , Jeff.

[@alexandermayerkirstein]

These tips are hand picked gems, zero to hero ways to do hard things quick and easy. Everyone that watches this should think hard before watching without leaving a like. Top of the line tips on being an Excel genius or at least look like one. Come on, when a video deserves, it feels soooo good to hit the like button. Look within for whether to hit the like button. The truth is in there.

[@JevVan]

best set of tips I've seen maybe EVER. I can't tell you how many of these things I've been doing manually for the last couple of years! Thank you!

[@geomatrix5452]

Jeff, All I can say is WOW! This video was fantastic! I've been "dabbling" with excel for a number of years but never knew most of what you just did! Thank you so so much for doing this video! These tips are PRICELESS! 👍👍👍

[@paulbork7647]

Very nice. Each of your hacks taught me something I can use often. I appreciate you and your sharing your knowledge!

[@Excel510]

This has been a great experience for me as a beginner, you make it so straight forward, thank you.

[@JIMediaPA]

Thank you for the tips. Still getting back up to the speed on Excel. These are great.

[@mohsinawan3594]

Loved the last trick. Have seen it for rearranging columns too.

[@ExcelU]

Thanks ... !!

[@Cecil_X]

3 minutes into the video and you saved me a ton of time. Thanks.

[@ExcelU]

So glad I could help!

[@Tamaresque]

I just learned more in 22 minutes than I learned in 22 years while figuring it all out by myself!!! P.S. This ADHD person appreciates the rapidity with which you present. This is one of the very few videos I haven't had to speed up to 1.25x, 1.5x or sometimes even 2x in order to stay focussed.

[@ExcelOffTheGrid]

Great video Jeff - lots of useful tricks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@forgivingcomputers]

I have used Lotus 1-2-3, Borland's Quattro Pro, Symphony, and Excel. I thought I was pretty good at it, but now I realize I have been doing things the hard way. These hacks are even better than keyboard shortcuts.

[@ExcelU]

So glad to help!

[@user-ix4tb8so4h]

Excellent Video. 6 out of 7 items were new to me a strong excel user

I almost went with each hack, but then, something new came out, and... until the end! 😁😁

[@digitalcollaborationtools3371]

Amazing tips. Thanks for this.

[@lizdvine2548]

Been using Excel for many years. Always love me a good shortcut. You have provided us, without the rambling, several NEEDED quick fills that so many can use. LOVE your site, easy to understand, wonderful information. Keep up the great work!

Absolutely!

EXCELlent video - great hints jr

[@smody121]

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.

[@berkeleyfuller-lewis3442]

You are a superb teacher. Great pace, great visuals. I've been using Excel (and before that, Visi-Calc and Lotus) -- but didn't know ANY of this. Whee!

[@ExcelU]

Thanks for your kind note :)

Jeff soo good to see your face. It would seem we were both bitten by the programming bug in Basic programming class summer school jr, high at Walker. I have fallen in love with Excel VBA and see your passion for excel is mutual.

I really liked ur style of coaching

[@ExcelU]

Thanks for your kind note :)

[@ChrissyNigaud-po3ll]

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!

[@tapanasarawala1370]

Very nice Sir, Thank you.

[@ExcelU]

So nice of you ... thanks :)

[@DanielLamarche]

Shortcut for Filter is Ctrl + Shift + L. It can also be used to clear a filter by quickly press Ctrl + Shift + L twice. BTW this video is a perl!!!!

[@jjholiman]

are you frickin kidding me? these are life changing.😂😂😆😃🤣

[@ExcelU]

Thank you :)

[@miamited69]

Great tips. I am looking to increase my skills and am wondering what aspect is most in demand, BI, dashboarding, etc.

[@ExcelU]

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.

[@miamited69]

@@ExcelU Thank you.

Hello Jeff. Is there a chance to get the practice workbook? Thank you.

[@RossMarsden]

Oh! I was expecting 7 hacks about Excel's various Time functions.

[@RichardJones73]

Ha, me too. Time functions give me so many headaches that I change all dates to text strings and work with them that way!

[@jesusgutierrez411]

Me too! Especially when carrying out calculations.

[@dondgc2298]

Same.

[@sedicirich]

God I searched for a function to sum above for multiple columns. Alt=, damn! Great vid

[@brucemcfarlane]

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.

[@centugurdag7776]

hi great content , thank you but could not download exercise file, there is a kind of blocking at your web site

[@lynettecolvin8085]

These are great hacks but I'm having trouble with the equivalent keys on a Mac. I tried Alt+= (which should be Opt+= on a Mac) but it didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@ExcelU]

Although I don't have a copy of Excel for Mac here that I can confirm, I believe it may be: ⌘⇧T

[@sirpaulzaf]

Flash fill is not stable, should any number or text change, it will NOT update, I must encourage people to rather use formulas.

[@thomaskaarup5461]

You had me at flash fill

[@jaycal1920]

Some other video was showing "CTRL - E" but didn't mention what the shortcut was for, seems its Flash Fill.

[@leventunal6698]

How Alt = works in mac air since Option and = does not do the same thing?
