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.

[@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 🙌

[@roberth.9558]

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

[@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!

[@UpForDebate-999]

Thanks!

[@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 :)

[@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

[@themeettrees]

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

[@MrDhunpagla]

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

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@EgasBritesdaSilva]

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

[@UlfatSahil]

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

[@PreMathSci]

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

[@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

[@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

[@diondio482]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@vasanthkumarm55]

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

[@zainab.saad9258]

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

[@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?

[@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?

[@Yntam123]

Groupby is only available in beta version?

[@johnrohith1559]

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

[@venkatachalamiyer7098]

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

[@sheet-chat]

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

[@olaolaitan7834]

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

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you for your comment :)

[@manjit.sarania]

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

[@manindranirmal]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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. ☺

[@monicacalvo1006]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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??

[@PeterNwachineke]

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

[@rupaabhi]

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

[@salmanakhtar4669]

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

[@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.

[@kapilanawarathne5746]

in which version onwards this formula is available?

[@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

[@manishkarnatak6425]

Can we add slicers to tables made from Groupby?

[@user-sk7tm3ps1m]

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

[@ArvinMartinez-of7tj]

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

[@areebahmadvideos1948]

Great one❤

[@aicx40]

Thanks for sharing. Awesome!

[@shivavenna315]

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

[@kameshsharma5164]

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

[@maher_a._alzoubi]

thank you so much for everything 🌹

[@yumonmyat-i8j]

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

[@UtkarshKumar-mp2ls]

Good going kenji

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you!

[@Khatakrampal]

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

[@nachoguzmanserrano331]

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

[@diinitutor6379]

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

[@tomr.5217]

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

[@bijaytanty8434]

Thanks Sir 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tp33306]

Why not use countifs or sumifs?

[@FrederickMalley]

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

[@dj_maridao]

Awsome! Thanks, man!

[@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.

[@Vushan108]

which ms excel version?

[@justinspencer-young3935]

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

[@MUHAMMADAzimKhan-jh3hm]

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

[@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 ?

[@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

[@aremoteforu]

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

[@ezkul95828]

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

[@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

[@IslamicInspire-hx8ds]

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

[@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?

[@casonalimudgal7986]

Really this is Amazing, Keep going.

[@patrickp8315]

Thanks. Way simpler than pivot table.

[@gauravloya193]

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

[@KenjiExplains]

No they also work without the table format :)

[@atuldelhi]

*groupby function is not showing in ms office 2024 and not in google sheet? how can i get this function? Pls. Respond.*

[@Live-InSportsNewsandtruths]

Excellent 👌 briefing

[@mischaminnee]

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

[@bongperez6266]

Wow, this is gold! Thanks!

[@rajkumarjain3697]

I m not getting Groupby functions in my Excel 365

[@narendrakumarchauhan8928]

Can i use this formula in 2019 excsl version

[@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.

[@khimseily]

I can't find this groupby function on my excell

[@cg_yeomans9472]

How to do the group by date/daily?

[@pandharinathjoshi6565]

Sir here slicer are not working with groupby and pivot by

[@8126haseeb]

why groupby is not showing in my excel?

[@saharminhas1495]

Can you make videos related to google sheets also. Please

[@juzershabbir6199]

Is the function available on Microsoft 365.. using Microsoft 365 but not able to get these functions

[@SeyPras.]

Require insider access.. If you’re using 365 personal you can head to File > Office > Help > Check for updates > advanced.. and change preview to insider.

[@nishanth4323]

Cool new formula 🙏🏻

[@tastyehealth]

Good teacher👍

[@FinanceLioncrest]

This function is not available in Google Sheets.

[@Shuvoorahman]

Awesome Formula

[@charkueyteowww2221]

i think that it will also replace the =SUMIFS also

[@harshdas7009]

Thanks brother

[@gintomino4136]

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

[@JoseAntonioMorato]

Dear Kenji, With slices, the filter gets much better: =GROUPBY(CHOOSECOLS(Table1[#All],3,2),Table1[[#All],[Sales]],SUM,3,,,,BYROW(Table1[Product],LAMBDA(a,AGGREGATE(3,5,a)))) - filter by product =LET(header,PIVOTBY(Table13[[#All],[Country]],Table13[[#All],[Quarter]],Table13[[#All],[Sales]],SUM,,,,,, BYROW(Table13[Quarter],LAMBDA(a,AGGREGATE(3,5,a)))), IF(SEQUENCE(ROWS(header),COLUMNS(header))=1,"Country",header)) - filter by quarter🤗

[@camlex6310]

Great formula!! Thanks
