[@chandoo_]

Hi Anand... I have been making Excel + data content for over 12 years. There is all sorts of content on the channel and my website. I am not sure what you mean by "let us down". But my duty is to only make content that I enjoy creating. It is your responsibility to take it or leave it.

[@souleymanediallo1307]

[@benjcheah3031]

Chandoo...Thank God I found you!!! This is the first time I actually understand Excel in the first 5 minutes and not tempted to watch Kdrama or Netflix. Anyone wanting to learn Excel quickly and not fall asleep..this guy your man ^^. Cheers mate! P.S, Do you have a video for those of us using Excel on Macs or just add in your vids short cuts for Macs if there are any. TQ

[@prathmesh_jadhav8930]

It is always amazing to watch your videos… you give accurate, on point and no nonsense information… Thank you Chandoo sir

[@leerv.]

Chandoo your videos are wonderful! Especially the ones dealing with Power Query! You convinced me to really try to learn it, so I started using it recently and after a decade of working with Excel I feel like a fool for not doing so sooner! I deal with repeated, periodic reports and often the original source is so messy. I really appreciate that I can use PQ, set it up once, and NEVER have to manually clean up the same report for the thousandth time (literally)! Just the other day I took a daily file that is over 500MBs (don't ask!) and cut it down to under 50, and I'm not even done yet! Spectacular tool!

[@chandoo_]

Wow.. .what a transformation (excuse the pun). Power Query is one of the first things I teach in my classes now a days. That alone can save a lot of downstream headaches.

[@leerv.]

@@chandoo_ Yes! I love the idea of "you gave me this, but what is relevant is this, and what is useful to my recipients is actually THIS, presented in this way" :)

[@searchbug]

Keeping your customer database clean is a lot like maintaining your car: if you don't do it regularly or with the right tools, it's just going to get worse. Luckily, there are some easy things you can do that will help you keep your customer data clean and organized. Aside from what Chandoo shared, we also suggest data appending for those who are not really techy. It serves as data enrichment and data cleansing tool. 🙏

Hi Shriram ji. First of all, it is inspiring to see your curiosity. I suggest learning either Python or VBA (if you use Excel alot). They are simple languages and you will certainly enjoy the challenge.
