[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you for supporting the channel! I can't believe we're at 2 million subscribers. If you'd told me that a few years ago, I'd say: "IMPOSSIBLE! No one wants to go to KZbin to learn Excel!" I'm honored to be surrounded by smart people like yourself - always willing to improve and learn. Wish you a happy New Year and wonderful holidays (if you're celebrating).

[@ShivamRai-xo8fu]

Ihve been listening carefully for all the important questions and their answers. I'll be following them too. Thanks for sharing your daily life strategy.

[@martinhoude3518]

"no one wants to go to KZbin to learn Excel" Well, that the first place Google sends you to....and you tend to be among the top hits! Beats a dry text version by someone selling Excel add-ons!

[@vbaclasses3553]

Sorry I am late to the party, one assumption from me, if you will indulge me. You are Sade's sister.

[@AndrewJens]

8:56 Re. _"You think you are hot,"_ so what? You are hot. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for your videos because they encourage people to be better at tools that almost everyone should be good at in their workplace.

[@PrinceAlberts]

I didn’t have the opportunity to post my assumptions, so I’ll put one here. I assume that the assumptions you were reading were on a carefully constructed PowerPoint slideshow that your team assembled over the course of a couple of weeks.

[@wmfield152]

Not assumptions: You're an excellent teacher and a sweetheart! Thanks for your many valuable tutorials.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you! 😃

[@ChrisM541]

"and a sweetheart! " Bingo! --> It's her looks that have gained her a huge percentage of those subscribers, showing just how 'easily influenced' so many males (and females!) are !!!

[@wmfield152]

@@ChrisM541 Basic Engiish: The word "sweetheart" does not refer to one's appearance but to one's disposition. LG consistently appears pleasantly happy when helping others learn. And, since you mentioned it, she is attractive, but I don't think that is relavent to her effectiveness as an exceptionally good teacher.

[@ChrisM541]

@@wmfield152 "she is attractive, but I don't think that is relevant to her effectiveness as an exceptionally good teacher." --> It is, however, 100% relevant to her ability to very significantly grow her subscribers...and this is the entire point I'm making. Basic Biology 101...attractiveness. Of course, good on her for playing that attribute up, but don't be too naive in assuming that's not a significant reason for her starting a YT channel - frequent several hundred thousand viewers draws in an equally significant steady amount of money for her ;)

[@philipherlihy3119]

It's very generous of you to be prepared to respond to internet dottiness like this, but you don't need to. You're a lovely trainer because you are a lovely person, and you treat your audience with respect, with care, and with warmth. So don't ever be swayed my comments or "assumptions".You're getting it just right and you're simply the best. Exactly as you are. Phil

[@kirkdarling4120]

Absolutely, @Phillip Herlihy.

[@redbank542]

I think you are very talented and not at all arrogant. Your training is excellent

[@paulprobst7728]

Arrogant? Absolutely not! I agree with @Redbank Some mistakenly perceive confidence as arrogance.

[@khurramkhan5328]

For the service you are providing to a huge community of learners, the only assumption is that you passionately share what you have spent a life time to learn. Thank u for your wonderful videos and all power to keep doing this great work.

[@PackerFanTastic]

Leila, my only assumptions about you is you are bright, intelligent, and passionate about sharing your knowledge. There are numerous people who share how-to videos on Excel and of them all, you are the best.

[@JohnDanenbarger]

For being shy, you come across as both professional, knowledgeable, and well-prepared. You tackled the dumb questions (more personal) most professionally.

[@AnthonyEnglish]

I love your enthusiasm and simple way of explaining things. You dream about work! Yes! I can totally relate.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks so much, Anthony!

[@kens6168]

Someone once told me not to pay any attention to “what they say”. I think you are excellent! You can never please all the people all the time.

[@yurihernandez195]

You're wonderful, Leila. Everyone can feel the passion you put in the work you've done brilliantly for all these years. Thank you so much!

[@yachticus]

our assumptions about you are ( from our household) you are really smart, creative, an excellent communicator and we are grateful for all that you do - blessings to you and your precious family.

[@zencooking6983]

I will never get people who want to insult people they've never met and don't know. I appreciate your videos, Leila. I learned more about PowerPoint from you than all the other teachers combined. You don't muck up the presentations with several things at once or leave important points out. I, for one, am very grateful for your channel and tutelage. Thank you.

[@fernsehdesign]

Yes, I dont professionally use Excel, except for prepairing invoices. But I watch your videos anyway, am I weird?

[@ScottLe]

I’m sorry you are dealing with these kinds of comments. You’re an amazing teacher and YT is lucky to have someone like you.

[@despaterson8918]

My assumption is you’re a genuinely nice person who just wants to help others. You’ve made me want to get certified in MS, so thank you!

[@vida1719]

Any type of your videos - about Excel or yourself - is just superperfect. You are great teacher & presenter!

[@jameshicks3735]

You are exceptional. Congrats on the 2MM. I point people to you every chance I get.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you for your support, James!

[@computer-training-for-seniors]

You have a loyal friend here in Australia, Leila. I highly value your tips and advice.

[@dlep9221]

Congratulations Leila, for your excellent tutorials and your 2M subscribers, I learned a lot thanks to your work. The rest is up to you

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you!

[@zakstargaser5644]

You see yourself as a teacher. Well, you are a very good teacher because you are good at explaning things. You explain things so a newbie can understand, but also so a experienced user dosen't get anoyed. Not everybody can do that. Even if you are an experienced user, you can be a newbie to some functions in a program. That's why experienced users use KZbin videos to learn new things ! So it is nice with the good explanations, that dosen't assumes that we know everything. Keep up the good work ! And - you are absolutly NOT arrogant ! 🙂 You have a very plesant way to teach.

[@donquixote3384]

If I have to characterize you.... Classy

[@edh329]

I didn't get in on submitting my assumptions. What I can see is that you push yourself outside of your comfort zone to do videos like this and I think that is pretty amazing. Thanks for being my go to KZbinr for Excel and more. Have a very Merry Christmas.

[@LeilaGharani]

Same to you, Ed!

[@BrentBestwick]

That was the most efficient video of its kind I've ever seen. Well done!

[@maryluw9915]

Who would think any of these thoughts about you! You are a beautiful soul with so much talent and knowledge-driven to share it with your viewers. Thank you for teaching the ways of these very cool programs!!!

[@famousjamous2006]

Fun idea! I’ve taken two of your courses and followed your KZbin channel for many years now. Always a fan, thanks for making a difference.

[@Bill_CBR]

I'm glad this is not what I thought when I read the title. Thanks for posting all the educational videos that you do.

[@gurmeetsingh-cq6br]

Madam honestly to come across your video and learning excel from you was blessing. At least at 60 years of my age I am far better than many in my office.thanks hope yours excel will make many excel in their life.

[@Penfolduk001]

In it's day Lotus 123 was THE spreadsheet solution. Even after we switched to Excel at work, still used Lotus Smartsuite at home for years. Only stopped using it once it became totally unsupported.

[@IamChevalier]

100% Lotus 123 was my preference and where I learned macros. My issue with Excel is that it tends to try be TOO helpful - same with all MSFT software. Sometimes you really just want to do things yourself without the having to dig thru all kinds of FAQs, etc. to 'undo' some of the 'helpfulness'... And remember - "It's never a bug, it's a feature that we haven't figured out how to use..."

[@christender3614]

In German English: Thank you for jumping over your shadow. Yes, as many have said, it’s none of our business really, but I enjoyed it anyway. Keep it up!

[@jzbuff86]

I really appreciate you. I’ve learned a lot from you. You work hard. You have great personality! And you’re an attractive woman.

[@suelemery5892]

That was fun! Thanks Leila for all the knowledge (and a little peek into the personal side) you share with us! I always learn SO much from you!

[@SpeakingGiraffe]

I hear assumptions as yet to be confirmed wonderings 😁 I’m sure the people with these wonderings are now at peace. Thank you for all your efforts! Because of your confidence and desire to get better - my confidence has grown exponentially from your teaching! Your channel is the first place I go whenever I want to grow in Excel - or just randomly explore for tricks that I can apply in the future. I hope to see your channel continue for as long as you want!

[@recipehacker9752]

You are very humble and classy. Ignore the haters! Great teacher.

[@LearningandTechnology]

I prefer observations over assumptions. I observe that you are intelligent and knowledgeable and choose to share that with an audience that benefits from your work. Your success in the KZbin and technology space is deserved and earned.

[@bunkosquad2000]

I don’t know you, but I can make one assumption - you’re the best Excel instructor on KZbin! You’re easy to listen to and watch, you know Excel backwards and I learn more from you than from anyone else! I’ll sub as soon as I’m done writing this. Keep up the good work ❤️❤️❤️

[@adriangoodrich4306]

Well, we are fortunate to have your wonderful tutorials on here. You are a superb teacher, and I have learnt loads from you. But your husband and family are fortunate, too, to have such a lovely, genuine and all-round brilliant wife and mom. As came across so strongly from this wonderful video. And as your - thoroughly deserved - 2m+ subscribers demonstrate, you are one outstanding lady. Thank you!

[@LeilaGharani]

That's so kind Adrian. Thank you.

[@vartikcsaba]

Greetings from the neighbourhood, Hungary! Keep up with the great office tutorials, they are very helpful at my workplace!

[@chaiwarrior11]

Fact: You have helped my teaching, whether that be in designing lessons or analysing student result data to id my own shortcomings. Thanks!

[@joelwdaniel]

Love your business you've started. I mentor in a field that data analysis is a must, and refer many students to your KZbin channel.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you Joel!

[@ronvds4713]

I smiled through all of that. Coming from my generation I would say you are charming.

[@scottstocking6935]

No assumption here: You are an awesome teacher and very smart. Thank You for all your help!

[@craftpassion1812]

You are an amazing teacher! I always learn something new from your channel and apply almost immediately on my spreadsheets :) Thankyou!

[@tylacy7216]

Love the channel! Even when I think I know the topic, you usually teach me something new. Keep up the great work.

[@marcusmcnabb6978]

I have used your vids and EXCEL short cuts and tips countless times during the last few years. You are awesome..keep up the good work Leila.

[@GeorgeGiann]

You are an excellent teacher, as commenters say, adding immense value to the platform.

[@RA-rh5lb]

Hi Leila, All the subscribers here are truly blessed with a good teacher like you. You are a hardworking person who reached 2.13M subscribers, which is not a joke. I strongly believe you dont need people's assumptions about you. For me, you are one of the wonderful Excel teachers. It's not my business to know your personal life. I always wish you a very happy blessed family life. Please continue your good cause which helps n number of people in their day-to-day life. That's something good karma. My best wishes to you always.

[@pascalejacquelinepetit5131]

Love your teaching style, and all the hard work that goes into making the videos easy to watch and memorable. Many thanks to you and your fabulous team!

[@Likeanycommentator]

Leila would make a pivot table grouping assumptions about her. And then make a video showing people how to do it. Thank you for making great educational videos.

[@psa110]

You are a lovely person who does not have an overblown conception of yourself. Just watching you respond to these guesses really reveals how lovely you are. As I have commented in the past, there are many of us who are jealous of your husband for having found you first.

[@sarag4743]

I have learned so much from your channel. Data preparation charts are #1. Forget the haters. You are a great teacher!

[@psbrar4202]

Like I’ve said before, you have a beautiful resonating voice which calms me down. Of course you’re very charming too.

[@LeilaGharani]

😊 thanks

[@mikeo763]

I really appreciate your videos. There have been countless times that I have looked up something I was stuck performing and you have always had a solution. My latest video that I thank you for is power queries. It has literally changed the way I do reports. Thank you!

[@LeilaGharani]

Great to hear! Thank you Mike.

[@vijayarjunwadkar]

Haha, enjoyed this! 😀When you become "popular & famous", people are interested to know you as a person different from the professional, and I think you did a great job here in talking about the assumptions and revealing the "real" Leila! Loved it! Thank you and wishing you all the best and happy holiday and festivities ahead! 😊

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you so much, Vijay! Happy holidays to you and your loved ones too!

[@brian1801]

I always recommend your site to my students and tell them your videos are the gold standard. Your success is very much deserved. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best in the new year.

[@awesome-emmanuel]

Thanks so much Laila. You're such an amazing mentor to me. Many thanks to your supporting husband too. Much love from Nigeria.

[@ocervin]

You are fantastic! Both as a person (as I see it), and as an inspiring teacher here. Love that - thanks for your hard efforts

[@Hds.Incorporated]

honestly i haven't seen + cannot believe people have assumptions like these about you. i think you're very loved and respected. Keep being you, we admire you that way

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you!! 😊

[@mr.c6674]

Your replies are very modest. So much so, that it's difficult to believe if the answers are honest and from the soul.

[@lancetrent6691]

Hi, you are a great teacher. Your knowledge is deeply appreciated. Stay the course and ignore the judge mental people and be yourself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@mattschoular8844]

Happy Holidays and all the best in 2023. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Leila.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you, Matt! Happy Holidays!

[@patrickpointer8380]

Leila, your video's are the first i turn to when i have an excel problem. Merry Christmas

[@SimJDKS]

Years ago the various search algorithms decided your content was exactly what I needed. They were right. I have been able to post your explanations in our companies forums after the official answers were too complicated. “This worked for me” comment when I post them has made me look smarter, and I like that…. 😊

[@deltawing9]

You are one of the very best teachers I learned from in my long life and definitely the best on KZbin. I appreciate the amazing amount of work you do to be so. Thank you very, very much.

[@msbutterfly714]

I think you are beautiful inside and out. I for one am very thankful for your Excel videos, they are helping me, and my goal is to one day be a "guru" at it. God Bless

[@Bosterquito]

I admire your passion for what you do, greetings from Ecuador

[@lisabrown8712]

Leila, you are absolutely a star and you make us all better ……. You are such a lovely Professional.

[@brianpowers7888]

I have leaned a lot from you over the years from manager to president. You have aided my success … thank you!

[@nairobi203]

It's interesting to hear what people focus on.... I am here to learn and I am here very often. And whenever I have the opportunity I recommend this Channel.

[@villiamo3861]

Nice upbeat vid but with some thoughtfulness & honesty in confirming/contradicting assumptions. Comes across very well. Thanks!

[@muaiqqibdeshmukh9563]

you are so good at your teaching. I love your work ma'am. I have learned from you so many things. Thank you, ma'am

[@captaincologne7558]

That these character dwarfs allow themselves to pass judgment on you says everything about them, and nothing about you. Your videos are super made, helpful and therefore successful.

[@pc-doctor1416]

Thank you for sharing that. I always enjoy your videos and I've learned a lot from you.

[@SnookRS]

I rarely dig deeper into ppl's private lives by listening yt videos BUT I really enjoy listening to you! Love your mind and your modesty... and you really helped with my excel world, so thank you for doing really great work! And yes... I expected some excel sheets with presenting your responses LOOOOL xoxo

[@LeilaGharani]

😁 Glad the content is helpful for you!

You are wonderful and so is your work! Surely, many more millions will benefit by learning from your excellent contents and teaching methods. I must admit that I have learnt so much by simply following your videos, and by and by have become your fan! Eager to look for more enrichment through your next series of technical guidance and training - Thank You so much! Wishing You and your Family a Wonderful, Happy and Successful New Year 2023! 🙏 😀 🏆

[@alcoolbc]

Missed one-- you are generous with your knowledge and expertise and like to share with the user community.

[@casiebert]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and your responses to the many assumptions. I was pleased that most of my assumptions about you are correct. You are delightful and a great teacher. WYSIWYG 💕

[@TerryStoa]

You are a terrific teacher - and this was a fun "get to know you" video. Kudos!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you so much!

[@qinyu7948]

How many people are googling Leila while watching this? Only Excel is showing up on my laptop. I think just like she said, all we need to know is she is a good teacher in office tech tools. I like this type of learning experience, my Mom doesn't believe I got promoted by watching "dummy videos" on KZbin. But it put me way more busier and has less time to come back to these channels I love. Anyway, happy new year Leila and your team. Thank you for all the providing.

[@lotsanoisy69]

Those were some really well crafted answers that help give a bit more insight on someone who has saved my butt when it has come to working with Excel more efficiently.

[@VIJER47]

YOU are a fun person. I really enjoy your Excel vids. Thank you.

[@lawrenceholguin]

That was fun. I think you are doing a fabulous job.

[@Tomlateralus3]

You are my excel Sensei. You are a Queen. Period. Cheers from Mexico! Much love for all the great work you do!

[@LeilaGharani]

Wow, thank you!

[@victoriawalker6174]

Lovely to get to know you better. Happy holidays to your family ⭐️🎄

[@billh5556]

This is a great video. It presents you in a manner where we get to know you outside of "class" and makes your teaching videos seem as though we are watching a friend and someone we know. Also, you do look mighty nice (hot) and I totally mean this as a compliment. Much happiness and success to you in 2023!

[@sseemm]

Beside your educational content, i like your smile ❤ It's honest. I can feel it

[@marksibert6691]

Well, I must give you a new assumption - that you are a brave woman. To ask such questions to your audience can open up yourself to a lot of criticism most of us don't want to confront. But also, be daring to face that insecurity... priceless.

[@mind_of_a_darkhorse]

Your videos are informative and you come off as a delight! Happy Holidays!

[@LeilaGharani]

Same to you!

[@KLHsueh-xq5cy]

Dunno where people get some of these assumptions about you, Leila. First time I watched your videos I was so grateful (and still am) that someone would pour their heart into sharing such valuable information publicly with organization and details. Thank you.

[@hughnelson5136]

It never ceases to amaze me what people will say to someone they only “know” over the internet. This was a great video. Thanks for your candor and great good humor.

[@reelhawksstudio]

Every time I am ask myself, "how would I do that in Excel," or "how would a power user do x, y, z" I come to your channel. Keep doing what you are doing, you are helping people, that's what why it works out for you. Keep it up :)

[@marjaranthecat9983]

Ms. Gharani, please don't pay attention to comments about your personal life. Your videos have been of great help. They've helped me automate my workload to a great extent. My gratitude and blessings. Keep up the good work.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you so much!
