Hi. the coupon is not working well. I added the other course as well but the code only applied to one item.

Placed the order but could not complete the excel add-on course.

Leila, great video as always. I have to say however, you may be one of the world's top Excel resources and no doubt you love what you do, but you are missing your true calling. Comedy! The timing first on the "woah, wait" bit and then the coffee sip was just comedic genius! 🤣

[@LeilaGharani]

ahhh thank you! When I first read the "but," I thought you were going to say, "but why do you have to tease IT again?" 😉 It was nice surprise. I always liked acting, but I have no talent. But everything can be learnt.

[@h.esther9400]

I think you have acting talent - I’d watch a pro vs noob tv series!

[@Meow2Kaco]

I agree! When she said “woah, wait!” I thought “oh, she’s gonna cheat the 90 second limit by explaining a bunch of stuff before the timer starts, and she didn’t. And when the timer actually started, while all viewers are watching like “how is she going to do this?!” with our eyes wide open, she used up more than 10 seconds for sipping coffee 😂 That was awesome!!! Love this excel trick too. I use Power BI for reporting a lot, but there are some users who prefer excel. I love both. And I cannot wait to use this technique to make my users go “Wow!”

[@teemad]

@@LeilaGharani Sorry for the late reply, I don't have notifications on. I actually think you definitely have acting talent. If you have a passion for it then you should definitely explore that side of you. But please don't forget us lowly Excel and Power BI users pretty please, we still need your expertise! 😂

[@notesfromleisa-land]

I will attest to the quality of Leila’s courses. I’ve only taken the Power Query course which I needed for a data triage train wreck. I had muddled through it on my own initially. The course was a life and time saver. The cost and time of the course was a fraction of the time, effort and frustration I saved. I think that this course is next. I’m an old dog and need this new trick. Users are so lucky today to have access to high quality videos from trusted professionals to help us increase and refine our excel skills. It was dark days on the frontier back in the day.

[@TerryMundy]

Absolutely another great video. I'm in IT at an aviation repair shop in Missouri, USA. I use Excel to assist with computer lifecycle management. The charts show finance proof that we need to upgrade certain computers. Makes the argument easy for me and hard for finance to deny.

Wonderful! Thanks a lot for choosing the course! I'm sure you'll find it super useful. If you run into in any questions, let us know. Enjoy!

[@smguy2945]

Great video! But unless I missed it, there was no explanation of what you did in the part about scaling numbers back when you are presenting large numbers? Was it just to divide the larger number by a large number to get the rept function to show less? And how did the bars accommodate the text added like "VIP campaign" and "announcement"?

[@IsMirDochLattens]

I didn't buy the course but i'd imagine that she used a monotype font (all characters have the same width) and then she just subtracted the length of the text from the repetition multiplicator. For the scaling you would divide the value of the row by the max of the data column and multiply it by the chosen length. So the largest number is divided by itself (=1) which results in 1* chosen length. So a bar that has half of the max value would result in 0.5 * chosen length. Edit: Font it probably "Hack" Edit2: No it's not, the dot at the end doesn't align. But it is close.

[@vinimaysingh7713]

I used “Consolas” font and the same approach and it worked. Dumb question though, how I go about the conditional formatting to highlight the row with highest value. Thanks. Figured the conditional formatting part too.

[@Hamromerochannel]

I see it differently. I figure out we always limited only by imagination. Now she gave me an idea, I will go figure it myself. Excellent idea about scaling. In fact excellent way of visualisation I had never thought of.

[@IStoreGas]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I get the comment part, you just count characters and subtract but I’m a bit confused on the scaling. I’m imagining you divide everything by the largest value then scale that.

[@kdub607]

Your presentations and demos are always flawless! I love that you can take a seemingly complex Excel format and not only make it look easy to follow and learn, but do it quickly and almost effortlessly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge set and making more of us look like spreadsheet savants! 🥰

I have enrolled in the course. Loving it. Taking it all in slowly. There is so much content..

[@rkalle66]

Now you can just add 99-x% repeats after the dot to the right side. Deduct additional 4 when placing the percentage number. ───●─── ─────●─ And you may even format the right bar part in grey or not in bold. It's all included in the extended ascii (IBM) character set to draw frames only with characters. But ... Don't forget to check it on printed paper.

Hey Leila, make a video on how to Vstack Spilled Ranges in Excel. For example, I have spilled ranges in cells A1,A2,A3 all the way to cell A50 having 5 columns, however i want all the ranges to be stacked one below the another. How to go about it ?

[@k0023382]

Thanks for sharing Leila A related question, using this type of chart, how do you best deal when one category is out the chat? For instance: category 1 => 2000, categories 2 to 10 => between 100 and 10. How do you deal with category 1?

[@LeilaGharani]

For comparison if I'm making a bar of column chart, I'd still start with zero. It's important to visually see the big difference between the categories. Here is an article from Forbes that you might find helpful. (www.forbes.com/sites/evamurray/2019/04/04/why-do-bar-charts-work/) If I need to see the variation between the other categories, I'll create a zoomed in version where we "zoom" into the rest and ignore the first category. (either leave it out, or keep it in, but "break the axis" - for this technique we can add another symbol for that category's bar to emphasize the difference (for example a dashed line).
