As an Excel fanatic AND beekeeper I enjoyed this immensely. I can see me using this for my next Treasurer's Report to my local beekeeping association! I was amused that you referred to the bee as "him" when odds are it's a "her" - the honey bee population is 99% female; males are few and there for one thing only...and it's not producing honey!

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Wow, that's awesome to hear! I had no idea bees were mostly female. Girl Power!

[@YJWest]

Hi Mynda! I was really excited and looking forward to trying to duplicate the charts you created in this video. I'm very disappointed that I won't be able to recreate them due to the absence of the 'sketch' shape outline function. I don't have the option at all, not even for shapes, so does that mean that option is gone completely?

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Yes, unfortunately, Microsoft removed this feature for charts as it was causing some bugs that were going to be too costly to fix. I never experienced the bug, so I'm as disappointed as you.

[@cammon6336]
