[@gloriarufus8033]

Thank you

[@mcd22630]

I don't have a favorite function. This channel is now my favorite source on how to use Excel functions. My hope for the new year is Microsoft will abandon their poorly written help section and it with links to Ms Gharani's video.

[@bobperkins409]

Agreed

[@bossssss]

Thats food for thoughts

[@woljin]

Totally agree. This channel is awesome to highlight things you weren't aware of. Some are useful and others are interesting but not useful based on your use case.

[@bk1695]

Totally agree!

[@enochakabobby]

I’ve started following this channel just a few weeks ago. Before that, my whole excel world was vlookup and subtotal. Now it’s become much more diverse! It’s really tough to pick my favorite! All thanks to this fantastic channel!

[@BitesizeExcel]

Definitely a fantastic channel and an inspiration to those of us starting out on a KZbin (or Excel) journey! :)

[@millerlite196]

I have been following this channel for about 2yrs now. I have learned so much in that time frame and have become one of the top 3 users of excel in my office. I work in the finance department of a casino, and have been redoing all the workbooks to up date them. The filter function has become my #1 function to use. When i started my position 2 1/2 yrs ago i couldn't even use a sumifs. So Leilia, thank you so much for making these videos, you do a wonderful job explaining how the functions work.

[@jamesjeffley4926]

I'm about to start a new job in a consultancy company after working 15 years in the construction contractors, and I need to develop my Excel knowledge, I'm very grateful for the videos, you walked me through a new word and I wanted just to leave a comment and thank you for the extremely informative channel. Thanks again and wish you the best in your personal and work life.

[@mtbrogue88]

Fast enough for those familiar, slow enough for the learner. Detailed enough to be practical, summarized enough not to bore! Excellent tutorials as always! Thank you Leila! "Filter" is my favourite function

[@ahmedzeko7788]

I understanding a lot of function in your channel , but i just set with a friend and he started showing me the magic of those functions and i subscribed in office 365 and i found in your video exactly the same as my friend show me in excel , tomorrow i can go to the work and start include this functions in my reports . Thank you very much .

[@christiantorres3786]

I love the fact that these are mostly dynamic ranges. Solves the issue of having to drag down formulas or use a pivot table to automatically update results when new data is introduced. My favorite function would have to be the "Unique" function because it helps isolate unique combinations so much better than manual filtering or using "remove duplicates" which requires modifying original table or copying and pasting a new range that can then be trimmed down.

[@rozuerd2614]

Where do I start. They are all very useful, and you have a special way of delivering them to us. One of the best tutors on KZbin!

[@curiosoclassicus7315]

Leila ...you're a God send. You really are here on this earth to help people. I'm so grateful for you. You have NO idea how much I learn from you. Thank you so much!

[@lavmenace7299]

I combined Sort and Unique and it's made my report live so much easier, homg. I think that might be my new favorite. Filter, though, is the most used.

[@janetlee9040]

Unique is great. No need to use pivot. Using unique and countif and sumif . Easy and efficient. Thank you Leila.

[@AsmaaAhmed-bh5yx]

My favourite is Unique & Filter combined, I used them in most of the reports I made in 2020.

[@zubairso]

How are you using those? Can you give some practical examples.

[@LeilaGharani]

Very powerful combo!

[@markc6714]

UNIQUE is a life changer for me. I have been copy/paste and REMOVE(ing) duplicates for years to make summary tables. Now, I can do it with one function.

Leila. You are my favorite Excel person. You are smart, easy to understand, and you provide easy to understand content.

[@vida1719]

Great overview. All these functions are my favourites, they make life just easier

[@chinnerATgmail]

I am an old timer with more than 50 yrs as a developer beginning with 360 Assembler and Excel v4. One of the most useful features that is never discussed is the value of defining a 'thisCell' variable equal to the current active cell: i.e. if the current active cell is B3 in the current sheet, define 'thisC' equals '!B3'. [Note that this is a relocatable definition.] Now, whenever you change the current active cell, the definition for thisC will be revised accordingly/respectively. Now, you can compose other formulae using the OFFSET or INDEX functions to reference relative cells/ranges. This is often a lifesaver when you need to use excessively long or recursive constructs which EXCEL won't accept. For what it's worth ...

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@coffeecuppepsi]

Filter is always my favorite and sequence was new for me.

[@deeshah3076]

My favourite is the x lookup. Love you can pick from the left and from different tables. This is the first clip I have watched from this channel, I cannot wait to watch and learn more

[@francescox79]

Love you Leyla! You bring my excel skills on the next level.

[@cartheym]

This video is the gift that keeps on giving ❤ Thx Leila & team!!! I've used it several times already as a reference for practical use of the new formulas, and did so again today. This time helping out a friend turning what would be a manual process taking hours manually filtering, sorting and adding values from a csv dump containing over 20K rows of billing data, to a simple selection via drop-down. Took just 10mins to do the formulas using an embedded FILTER inside SORT twice, also wrapped FILTER with SUM using the values from an adjacent UNIQUE array to provide totals on the fly - so easy! In the past this would be a much longer process, maybe with some macros or VBA, but no need for that any more and so much quicker to produce - the guy thinks I'm a genius haha. Although I will admit it did take me another hour to make it look good lol

[@jillcrowe2626]

Most of my time in Excel is making it look good. I even embed pictures like gas pumps over the expense label "gasoline."

[@mac1os191]

XLOOKUP finally improved ! Thanks for that hint...

[@woljin]

Xlookup is awesome. It removes the need for a concatenate and the limit of the return value being to the right of the lookup. You just have to make sure that your audience also has office 365. This can sometimes be an issue.

[@dougmphilly]

@@woljin anything to reduce the need for index/match is a blessing

[@eileensaint3434]

Sort and filter is a game changer for me.Thank you so much

[@MrMustafaJE]

Lol, I didn't know any! And I thought I was an exel guru😂

[@tracymcbee2473]

I’ve been watching your videos on the filter function. I agree, it’s my new favorite.

[@techdelasabana]

XLOOKUP is my all time favorite. Is the best way to relate tables in excel.

[@ScottLititz]

Yes. I use it so much, I forget how to do VLOOKUP

[@chh8860]

In the "Sort" function you stated at the 1:35 mark " … you can drag your range to a few cells below …". In the Sequence" function you stated at the 10:45 mark, " … I want it to spill so I'm going to go with hash …" Question: can the 'hash' feature also be used in the "Sort" function to make the "Sort" function truly dynamic? Not sure which is my favorite yet … Unique and Sequence are new to me but not quite sure of their usefulness just yet (possibly) … but Filter is a strong favorite because it is so powerful. Once again … thank you for your work … always well done.

[@jgarces2011]

I have learned so much from these videos. I knew of none of the new functions such as XLookup, XMatch, etc...Awesome and thank you.

I just learned the SEQUENCE function. It will change a lot of my work. From Escondido, California.

[@patrickclairet2345]

My favorite one is unique because it stands like Pivot Table without refreshing when preparing lists. Sequence was unkowned for me.

[@juliomonteiro8601]

Xlookup love it. Avoid the confusion of the index match match. But these are great. Thank you so much for teaching them.

[@33hobbycat]

The combination of these new arrays functions is actually what amazes me : Sorting a filtered unique list is now so easy. ! I would appreciate microsoft to extend the spill concept to conditionnal (or non conditionnal as well) formatting : actually these functions provides dynamic range updates as far as values are concerned, but this not (yet ?) the case for the format... Thank you Leila, I really appreciate your videos & the way you teach. Happy new year.

[@LeilaGharani]

Happy New Year to you too, Antoine!

[@m1cannas]

I used the Filter function. Yes, very easy and professional results.
