it's impossible to download the file. When you press the download button, hubspot asks you to enter some info about your whatever but at the end of it when you complete filling & press the Submit button, nothing shows up & nothing happens. is that a clickbait to collect our phone numbers & email addresses?

[@haroldlane4647]

I got it to download. I filled out EVERY blank. Since I don't have a company, I put (hopefully) an obvious fake biz name and URL and picked "1 employee", and it came through on my phone...

[@shuvohasan123]

It's Not Even Available In 64bit Version of Standalone Excel Version. Available Only In Office 365. And Can be Manually Registered To 32bit Standalone versions Sadly... No Idea Why By It's Effing Microsoft...

[@davidferrick]

PivotTables will NEVER go away. Many of us analysts still need ability to drill down on data subsets.

[@nevermore17011990]

correct, and the ability of create measure when data store in DATA MODEL

[@tumo27]

It’s time saving , you don’t have to write down complex formulas

[@9bm-hb2hpii]

yup 100% and his formula is only applicatble in latest office 365 and office2021 version.

[@roberth.9558]

Nobody does it better, Kenji. Thank you for the instruction.

[@tchrapko]

It's a neat new feature, and I can see it satisfying some simple use cases with users who don't think to refresh data and don't need the formatting options of pivot tables. In other words, a niche feature, but I'm happy to have more tools in the toolbox.

[@thomastaylor6595]

I love the versatility of pivot tables if I’ve been asked to present data analysis, however, I’ve been using excel a lot more to create simple “dashboards” where I can return data from a few sources based on the entry of a reference, pivot tables and slicers were never friendly for this (and to be fair it’s not what they were designed for) but I can see this functionality being really useful to me , thanks for the no nonsense explanation 👍 thanks to the algorithm too 🙌

[@UpForDebate-999]

Thanks!

[@CAKimberlyLewis]

These new functions JUST dropped for me and I am SO EXCITED! Thank you for this! 🤗 I've tried for years to get folks to understand refreshing tables and I'm happy Excel too figured that was impossible. Excellent solution and excellent explanation! Thank you!

[@themeettrees]

Groupby may be useful for someone who's not familiar with pivot tables. Pivot tables is King!

[@jeffersonsumbobo4167]

I enjoy watching your videos. Your clarity and the fact that you add a sample document to follow along.

[@ramblermaddy7691]

I like your content a lot. Please keep up the good work going. Thank you 😊

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you for the comment! It means a lot :)

[@krkr3159]

Thank you so much for the video(s) and easy-to-follow explanations. Love them! I'd have a question to the PIVOTBY function. Is there a way to sort/order the columns after creating the table using the PIVOTBY function? In my example, I plotting the values per year (in rows) for the various months (in columns). Unfortunately, the rows are not starting with JAN, FEB, MAR but with April, followed by AUG, DEC, FEB... which seems to be random. I've formatted values in the input table as text.

[@rickswineberg]

Why so many pivottable haters, when they are so easy.

[@dvdlog]

If you’re dealing with data model you should learn some dax in order to get your data consistent and ready for exploration.

[@hermask815]

Hitting refresh puts mental stress on some people,it seems. Knowing the plausibility of your data should be natural on some levels of company hierarchy. Is that too much asked for ?

[@chineduordor4949]

I swear

[@alex626ification]

You literally just need to right click refresh.

[@gr8wh8orca53]

Upsell every Microsoft new Feature so the old becomes obsolete 😂

[@nileshyeole6099]

You are doing very noble job and helps a lot in education people. Your style of teaching is very very fluent easy to understand

[@JonesFamilyRanch]

Really enjoy your videos…straight forward and easy to absorb. Looking forward to using this feature, when available. I envision this will help me track total number of job classifications across branches to keep executive managers informed of where job vacancies may begin to affect job performance and service delivery.

[@EgasBritesdaSilva]

what a great video, very practical to follow, this helps my work a lot, greetings from Timor-Leste

[@UjjwalJain-p8c]

Excel just need to send an update that allows Pivot table to auto update. If that happens then what would be the use of group by function?

[@MrDhunpagla]

Seen this one before but now know the logic of it ...Thanks K ...keep posting dost 😊

[@iduncanw]

Looks good and very clearly explained. Two questions: 1. Presumably if you use Slicers on your table, GROUPBY only shows visible data? 2. Given the result is a dynamic array, how do you format the results so they always show the same format regardless of how big the array ends up being? I only saw you manually format the cells based on the current size.

[@anpham7108]

1. No, the formula refer to ALL value in a column. 2. No again, but you can use VBA. Just use Pivot Table

[@UlfatSahil]

Good to see such features, let's see if this could go beyond PV tables, which sometimes seems infinite but boundaries are plenty.

[@diondio482]

I love all your videos, It helps me a lot. Thanks Kenji! 😀💯

[@mikelawton6053]

love this function and thanks for the demonstration. how long does it take to get access to this stuff in excel? i just set myself up as a beta user and the function still isn't available to me. I'm also hoping to be able to use the REGEX functions that are in beta. Does is take a couple days to kick in??

[@hemantsingh2172]

No doubt it is a very good function but pivot tables are better than this. In this video, you made many changes in the formula to get different results according to your requirements but in the pivot table, it is straightforward to make the changes very easily. ☺

[@rupaabhi]

Pivot, the word just sounds cool . It will never go away.

[@rasheednayakkan6750]

Why is this function not available on latest version of excel..

[@waynez8136]

Newly released functions that are only available to insiders. I just double-checked Google Sheets, and they are not available there either.

[@jtmh31]

Because very few content creators mention this is in beta/preview for Microsoft 365 Office Insiders ONLY. When XLOOKUP was announced, it took a year before it was available. LAMBDA took two years. GROUPBY and PIVOTBY were announced back in November 2023, so you may see them both before years end. I'm to the point I'm going to downvote every video that doesn't mention preview at the beginning.

[@dondgc2298]

@@jtmh31to his credit (somewhat) he does at least mention it about 90 seconds in. But I agree with your sentiment.

[@RahulPatil9702668705]

Hi could we add multiple column labels in pivotby function So we would get the output like tabulation e.g cities in row side and zone and gender in columns side

[@vasanthkumarm55]

Can you tell me which version available in groupby function...

[@SaiHikawa]

I have a few questions... which one takes less file size, the groupby or pivot? Can we use a custom calculation for groupby? and lastly, do the cells adapt the format of the cell it takes over (i.e. cell shading, font, font color, etc.) or it changes it to default?

[@v4sTislow]

i started studying excel since lastmonth jst because i want to analyze my small business p&l.. i now can say im a bit good with it Thank to you sir.. im jst wondering, is there a good paying job that needs this skill?? i was thingking about looking for another day job who use this skills

[@PreMathSci]

@KenjiExplains please explain why my Excel file doesn't have this "Groupby" function. My one is MS office 2021

[@alm9707]

Great video and thanks for the clever formula. I tried to use it on my Excel but the Groupby function does not exist. Do you know how to install this function? Is there an "add on"? Thanks

[@johnrohith1559]

Just like how you added "Powerade", can I add multiple filters ? What is the syntax for it ?

[@PeterNwachineke]

Question is how can it be controlled when I'm using a slicer

[@Yntam123]

Groupby is only available in beta version?

[@manjit.sarania]

Very nice information and teaching sir.. from India North East

[@zainab.saad9258]

can we sort the percentage as well ? I want to find the sales value with the percentage and sort them all

[@venkatachalamiyer7098]

Hi, if one row data is required Unique and sumif also can be used

[@tngui79]

If you wanted an auto recalculation/refresh, just change your options to refresh upon source update. I wonder how long you would take to toggle between the design of data, adding and deleting of data rows, columns and filters. Is there a real replacement to pivot table? Seems like it would only work in a limited summary of information, not really for long tables of pivot data?

[@olaolaitan7834]

Thanks for the videos. I like how you explain to understand.

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you for your comment :)

[@kameshsharma5164]

Very educative video Sir can you please share which software do you use for video editing Please Share

[@manindranirmal]

That's awesome. Thanks for letting us know. Really useful

[@tomr.5217]

Wow this looks nice compare to pivot! Thanks to this new formula ❤

[@DarkFizo]

Doesn't look superior to pivot tables to be honest. You have to write entire formula to get same results you can have with few clicks. I might've missed something but the only difference I noticed are live updates vs clicking "refresh". Maybe I'll change my mind if I play with it a bit but right now I'm sceptical.

[@sheet-chat]

Thank you for your valuable contribution, it's an excellent tutorial. Thank you! 😊

[@anuragkhatri8104]

Hello kenji nice explanation. Will your playlist from beginers to expert , will help in understanding excel from scratch? And then we can proceed to more higher levels ?

[@running4fun863]

Is this correct GROUPBY only works if you want to view one/two row fields (Headers) at a time. For example, I want to view data by region (example, London, Bristol, Yorkshire) then by Cost centre within region of London, Bristo, Yorkshire then by the clients within the Cost centres. If anyone knows your help will really be appreciated. Thanks

[@Khatakrampal]

Hi Thanks a lot for this information, also please can shear the practice file

[@aremoteforu]

You can just click in the pivot table and press refresh. Do not need to go to the ribbon.

[@monicacalvo1006]

Love this! Going to redesign one of my dashboards today!

[@nongartinunt2014]

Awesome as always 👍 However, Why can't I find it in my excel 365 version or are there any method that I have to add in, pls give me suggestions?

[@areebahmadvideos1948]

Great one❤

[@maher_a._alzoubi]

thank you so much for everything 🌹

[@manishkarnatak6425]

Can we add slicers to tables made from Groupby?

[@dj_maridao]

Awsome! Thanks, man!

[@ArvinMartinez-of7tj]

How about for the repeated items? What if we dont want to see repeated items

[@ijaznoormohamedso4965]

To be honest, Pivot table is best.

[@user-sk7tm3ps1m]

Hello Kenji, i can't find =Groupby Function on my Excel ! can u Assist me if you please

[@araratmaf]

How about if i need to filter? That funtion does not allow me to do that. It's harder to perfom the "Pivot" at all.

[@saharminhas1495]

Can you make videos related to google sheets also. Please

[@salmanakhtar4669]

If i use groupby instead of pivot tables, then how to create data visual like graphs and charts for data analysis with this?

[@aicx40]

Thanks for sharing. Awesome!

[@shivavenna315]

How will it impact in terms of performance if we use formulae instead of pivot tables?

[@kapilanawarathne5746]

in which version onwards this formula is available?

[@bijaytanty8434]

Thanks Sir 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Live-InSportsNewsandtruths]

Excellent 👌 briefing

[@charkueyteowww2221]

i think that it will also replace the =SUMIFS also

[@UtkarshKumar-mp2ls]

Good going kenji

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you!

[@FrederickMalley]

Is this a new update or add in? I just tried it and I dont have it.

[@Washulaundrymats]

I have like 2lacks of data how can I solve it I want all the different values and name and I”d ..if I use the pivot table .the results are not good bcos all the duplicate value are deleted..what can I done the data

[@Lorac_Miko-rv9xe]

I still use pivot tables, some are linked to multiple sources too ... but this group by on the template you provided just gives me #NAME? as an answer. I'm a monthly subscribed user on the latest updated version so I dont get why its not working. Guess this monthly payments to MS is a waste of money if the latest and greatest stuff is not available ... lol

[@casonalimudgal7986]

Really this is Amazing, Keep going.

[@diinitutor6379]

Hello. I'm using office 365, I didn't see groupby Function so what's the problem?

[@patrickp8315]

Thanks. Way simpler than pivot table.

[@ezkul95828]

Cool. Thanks for detail video. I can retire Pivot table in my simple excel.

[@mischaminnee]

What is the use case for why one wouldnt just use pivot tables?

[@MUHAMMADAzimKhan-jh3hm]

From where we can get groupby function. In my excel sheet, it is not appearing.

[@nachoguzmanserrano331]

I couldn't find the GROUPBY function. I even updated my Excel version but don't know why don't find it :/

[@YogeshSoni-h9n]

So if these formulas do everything that a pivot table does... What additional thing do we get other than self updating?

[@andreimurariu]

You get another set of data that would can manipulate

[@gauravloya193]

Do these functions work only when the base data is structured in TABLE format?

[@KenjiExplains]

No they also work without the table format :)

[@suvarnareddy6866]

1st view I like your videos and more informative

[@KenjiExplains]

Thanks so much!

[@justinspencer-young3935]

What if you had annual data and needed to add a date filter to get monthly?

[@IslamicInspire-hx8ds]

I am using Microsoft professional plus 2021 and i didn't find both formulas in my excel sheet

[@Shuvoorahman]

Awesome Formula

[@Heybat1]

One scenario. Same item sailed with different prices in different days. In table mentioned below data: Date, Item Name, Quantity, Price, Value. To find total average price of item in Pivot Table you can go & put function in Fields items & sets like =Value / Quantity. In new functions like Groupby or Pivotby can’t get it yet. Or I can’t get it up to now.

[@KevinBuchanan66]

I really hate videos that promote functions that aren't GA'ed yet. Microsoft still hasn't release the GroupBy function - similarly, they haven't release a lot of other Beta functions. I get it - the functions/features need to be tested/validated - but they don't have their priorities in order! this function looks great...will be glad when they FINALLY DO RELEASE it!!!

[@yumonmyat-i8j]

How can I get "Groupby" Formula? I cannot find it in excel.

[@tp33306]

Why not use countifs or sumifs?

[@DAXJutsu]

Pivot tables are static once laid out and will not be affected by other formulas in the workbook so with a very large table and other calculations involved, I wonder how GROUPBY can affect performance.

[@narendrakumarchauhan8928]

Can i use this formula in 2019 excsl version

[@bongperez6266]

Wow, this is gold! Thanks!

[@cg_yeomans9472]

How to do the group by date/daily?

[@rajkumarjain3697]

I m not getting Groupby functions in my Excel 365

[@md.alamgirhossain905]

We can use unique and sumif functions to do the same.

[@Vushan108]

which ms excel version?

[@gintomino4136]

This is the query equivalent in GSheets. But with limitations. PivotTables will stay because they can drill down.
