8 strategies I used to learn & master Excel in a short time

[@bhoomika2002]

My Dad is a hero. All these techniques he did 50 years ago. But he passed away 22 years back. We never knew his hardship and now when we meet his old friends and colleagues they tell us how My Dad bagged a Job and kept upfront in the skill. Kudos to you Dad. May ur soul rest in peace . Thanks a lot Chandoo for sharing this.

Excel wasn’t even around 50 years ago, not even Lotus 123..😂

[@vedantmehra6970]

​@Alpha Kilowatt exactly, how were these techniques in practice 50 years ago when computers itself were at a absolute nascent stage...Impossible

[@jerbear97]

@@Alephkilo i mean, these techniques are applicable outside of excel, even outside computing

Great advice gor all! People forget: we never quit learning. I watch some videos thinking most likely nothing new, then SURPRISE! A different method, keyboard shortcut, etc. is provided. A million thanks for continuing to share your knowledge and "lessons learned" in a clear, concise and efficient way w/"real" world examples!

[@karakol86]

I used this approach for python (no prior compsci experience at all) and it is very helpful and trying to do an advanced problem is a great way to learn how to do something.

[@wayneedmondson1065]

Great advice Chandoo! Practice, solve, share and learn. Those are four things I try to do every day to keep moving forward. Thanks for your insights and wisdom. Thumbs up!!

Could you pls give me some concession , i really want to do it . I love the structure you have designed for your course , i think person like me who have basic knowledge in Excel can easily understand and learn from it . Pls help

[@hcandts]

My steps into Excel and in everything realy, is common logic and common sense, 1 + 1 = 2 (there are, of course mathematicians that will try to proof you wrong, but; that's another dicussion), so building on that logic I advanced and time and lots of practive brought me where I am nowand am proud of what I have achieved en learn (more) every day, never too old to learn. Chandoo, you're a great asset for us

[@jamesstramer5186]

These guidelines can be generalized to learning a lot other skills! Loved the video and subscribed.

[@chandoo_]

Thank you and welcome to the channel.

[@mateotinoco2393]

Chandoo is a very humble person...also an excel genius

[@MarginOut]

Every single technique described is spot on man. Well done.

[@xplorYT]

Great advice Chandoo! I owe you a big thanks when it comes to excel. Learned a lot from your website, Still remember the days (back in 2007) I used to visit your website during my initial days developing Dashboards. Keep rocking 👍

[@aq2237]

I have been learning from your website content, since 2013 and now here wow this is awsome 👍

[@chandoo_]

Thanks AQ... Wow, almost 8 years now. Thanks for being with me on this journey. More awesomeness to you 😊😀

[@pavel_stafeev]

Thanks for the video. Pick a problem - this one works really well for me. Go wide before going deep - this one is new for me, but I am sure it works. We often keep focusing on one feature and it takes so much time to master it. But the truth is that in most cases we need a lot of different feautures (liabraries etc.) to actually solve a problem.

[@nolatari]

As always, you manage to surprise us, thank you for your videos.

[@chandoo_]

Thank you very much!

[@siddusidd5571]

Strategy to learn something quickly-- 1. Focus on a single problem and try to solve it. 2. Go wide before going deep. 3. Connect the dots. 4.Play to learn. 5. Stop worry about small details. 6. Share what you learn. 7. Reflect and revise. 8. Confidence for solving any problem.

[@prateekmaggo9278]

The idea of going wide is always the way I prefer to learn first. But, it often seems like teaching systems go deep in one area first. I hate that because then I still do not know all the other capabilites.

[@Thehealthtechceo]

1) Pick a problem and solve it, (ex. how to merge two sets using excel), 2) going wide before going deep, understand high-level key features of excel, then pick areas to go deep into 3) Connect dots or incremental learning 4) Have fun or play with Excel, download data sets and go wild, automate tasks or use a different approach for the same problem 5) Don't be biased towards a particular concept, learn everything and then choose your path 6) teach - the best way to learn 7) reflect and revise and how it is applicable in your work 8) Don't hesitate, just implement what you've learned
