Keep it up ... Leila ..

[@wmfexcel]

Thanks for the video, Leila! My two cents: If you"Excel" in a corporate job and want to show off your Excel skills, talk to your Learning (HR) team and offer them in-house training. That's the most effective way to bring values to the organisation, and getting people to know your values. :)

[@LeilaGharani]

Great advice! Thanks for sharing!

I did this back in 2014 - and those were among my first workshops. Great advice!

J’avais donc raison ! J’ai « grimpé » dans la hiérarchie de l’entreprise où j’ai travaillé des années durant et pu parcourir les filiales pour "distiller" mon savoir sur Excel. Aujourd’hui retraité, j’ai créé mon entreprise de consulting en outils Excel et je gagne déjà de l’argent. Depuis que je vous suis sur KZbin, j’ai toujours senti qu’il y avait des atomes crochus entre nous… Merci Mme Leila Gharani.😀

[@frankmorrow3204]

Got a Google Sheets question. I'm writing it here on your most recent video post so you'll see it. Is there a way to create a drop down list with sub drop downs. Right now the only thing I can find are dependent drop downs which involve a separate column of data/choices that opens up when you make your first choice. What I'm talking about is when you hover the cursor over the drop down menu choice and you automatically get a sub-drop down list to choose from. When you make your choice from the sub-drop down list it populates your choice in the original column. Not a separate column of data to choose from.

[@fredyvanhalen]

My wife and I are big fans of your channel. You've saved my so much time over the past few years and I thank you for that! Do you know a workaround to specify what window view the tab opens in? I've tried Microsoft and they suggested java and the API which I'm not currently an expert at. I use multiple windows of the same workbook and the behavior of opening a selected tab to a random window is beyond problematic when I'm collecting data from one window for another and I never know which window will be replaced by my tab selection.

Pretty cool! I'm the go-to Excel guy at my work (small team) and have built a couple of fairly impressive financial reporting templates that my entire team uses. I've been an avid Excel user for 7-8 years. I don't know as much you do but I can do about 90% of what you have in your youtube videos and I'm always trying to learn more. Maybe I can start brainstorming how I would want to market myself and which Excel skills I want to focus on. Thank you for this video and the reminder that our skills can be very marketable! Cheers!

It’s all about finding your customer type. Honestly, the best way to start marketing is by marketing to yourself. What are the things that appeal to you? They likely appeal to your ideal customer. And the more alike you are, the more in sync you become.

Hello mrs leila , Thank for the videos , Honestly, I have found ways to solve most of the problems on Excel because of your videos, presenting your videos and explanation of something simple. I have a problem with VBA and I have not found a solution for it yet. I use a macro in Excel and the code is for the filter. I will show it to you in the next comment, but my problem is that I did not find a solution to resist the sheet. I want to protect the sheet from any modification and only use the text box that I added from the developer. Can you help?

[@KrishnanRamachandran-z9b]

Hi Leila, I discovered your site accidentally and love it, including your style of educating as it is helping me get better at using Excel. I have seen in your videos and others that the use of merged columns is discouraged and wanted to know how to handle this when I need to group a series of rows that collectively form a unit of transaction. e.g., if I am tracking expenses across multiple events across multiple sites, I am using a sheet where individual expenses are grouped under a single event id, which along with other event-level details are shown as a merged row (e.g., event id, event location, total expenses etc). May be you have already done a video on this and appreciate your guidance. Thanks

[@fuzzylon]

Thank you for a really interesting video ! I have been using Excel and Access (with VBA) for at least twenty years - so I think I'm probably fairly competent, but how can I tell what level I'm at really at and whether I've got enough expertise to sell my skills in the way you describe ? I tend to think everyone knows what I know, but that isn't necessarily true.

[@LeilaGharani]

One way to gauge your expertise is to start sharing your knowledge-maybe by answering questions on specialized forums or taking on small projects on freelance platforms like Upwork. This will not only validate your skill level but also highlight areas you might want to strengthen. You'll be surprised to find out how many people could benefit from your years of experience. Give it a shot!

[@JordanGoldmeier]

With the knowledge/experience you have, you are ready to start selling your skills. Learning customer service and how to find clients would be your next focus.

[@sky37blue]

​​@@LeilaGharanigreat advice Leila. With excel I always find it's difficult to gauge because no matter what you know, there's always more to learn and you always meet someone way ahead of you (at least I do but I'm not as advanced as you). The first time I worked with an Indian lady who didn't use the mouse at all, just keyboard shortcuts, it blew my mind. I'm currently freelancing in a finance team but only have the one client. Most of the work is in excel but it's not the only skill you need. The ability to spout hot air goes a long way too 😂

@@LeilaGharani Thank you that sounds like a good approach. I'll follow up on that.

Copilot is an additional way to analyze data - but it won’t affect your ability to make money using your excel skills

[@jimmydst]

but surely with the way that you can interrogate the data and automate the outputs, this will change the way that you market your skills? Copilot will simplify commands and outputs and so I believe the skills required will move to prompt engineering. Not challenging just interested in your view ! @@JordanGoldmeier
