Dynamic Arrays as a Power Query source is a game changer i didn't know that 😭😭😭 Thanks Leila.😍 This is Massive News !!
Leila, May I suggest, when you are talking about features, please mention version of Excel you are using. My version of Excel 365 enterprise does not have half of mentioned in this video

Thanks, Leila! As usual, you're right here with good information just when I need it most. I've been working on a large project estimate for a client, and, of course, it's been quite some time since I was seriously busy in Excel. I will be putting video's search, navigation and debugging tips to good use.
I love the search bar when I right click! I didn't even notice the updates until this video! Thanks for bringing such valuable videos to all of us!
I don’t use power queries but navigation and office scripts are going to help me do much. Thank you! I wish Microsoft had a better way of notifying users about new features. That’s why I love your channel ❤.
The Navigation pane is indeed the best for me. I've been struggling with tabs and that will help a lot. Thanks for showing!
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).
+1! PQ being able to handle spill results. This feels for me the workaround for tables not being able to handle spill. Usually that is only the first column that the rest builds on.
Nicely done Leila! As well as I know Excel, I always learn something new from your videos - well done!!!
Cool stuff and to the point - as usual!! Hats off. Another content of yours for me now to share with my friends and colleagues.
I love them all! Thank you Leila.
Leila, thanks for sharing your favorite new features. After watching, I cannot choose a favorite, I love them all! The navigation is way cool, and the office scripts is going to be a lot of fun!!!🦊

Great! The Automate option is pure Gold.
I’m new to power Querry and this new excel options - very helpful !!! Greta content !!!
These are amazing new features. Very useful. Making Excel more powerful and useful. Thanks for sharing such wonderful tips.
Thanks Leila! I liked the Navigation feature.
Thanks Leila, always my go-to for Excel etc. I never even noticed some of these, like automate and navigate, using it already 😊 Anyone remember Quatro Pro years ago? I loved it, ahead of the pack back then I thought, had a quick record, once off or saveable, used it often, seems automate is similar.
I can't believe it took MS Excel that long to have Ctrl + Shìt + V shortcut, this shortcut has been literally everywhere except Excel for ages. Great video, thank you Leila!

The navigation pane one is a game changer for me, and the search will be game changing for when I'm training other Excel users (mostly because I've customised my Excel ribbon and can never remember where the default menu options are!)
Excellent! Thanks for the great tips!

This is always exciting to try new features and thank you for introducing them to us. What is frustrating for me is some are available on my home computer and not at work and sometimes the opposite. Some very useful tips as always, thank you.
Uraaaaa! ctrl+shift+v works in my Excel 365))) It's amazing and comfortable to use this shortcut. Thank you Leila 👌
Thanx Leila. Great tips. I think I simply like them all 🙂
Excellent videos. Using scripts and navigation panes is my next stop.
Navigation will be my favorite with the 150-tab spreadsheet I have to work with. Automate will come in a close 2nd. Thanks for the video!
Hey Leila - Thank you for keep us all aware of coming features! Can you tell us - 1.) Which Excel version are these new feature active in now? 2.)Is there a trickle down schedule to all releases?
Wow, just great. Thanks
quite valuable hints, thank you Leila btw. nice hair color :)

Nice to know new tricks to keep it interesting. Long ago I set Paste Values is the first slot on my QAT, alt 1, done, moving on. I’ve done it that way for so long I don’t think about it. Button on my keyboard is set to Alt F10 single keystroke there. Dynamic Arrays as data source for PQ seems like a good idea.
Thanks alot, Leila. You are 😍super Excel guru
Great video! Excellent!
I like them all...thank you!
Thank you and I think Navigation Tab is very useful
I like the use of spill ranges into power query! To copy and paste removing formula, I select the range, right the any edge or border, drag away and return to the same location. A popup appears with selections and select copy here as values only!
Wonderful... Thanks!
Wow, thank you for this video! Scripts recording can be very interesting, for sheet pre-formating (dashboards for example). Better than templates. Debuging features are awesome too! And dynamic array for Power Query! And easy search! And navigation pane! 😂
Dynamic Array results being fed to Power Query: LOVE IT!!!!!

The Office apps have long suffered from two issues: 1) discoverability and 2) menu hell. The search will certainly help IF you know what you’re looking for but discovering new capabilities in the awesome products is still a challenge. I don’t know what the solution is but it’s something that should be addressed. Normal users may use 5-10% of a product’s features. As pros, we probably use 20-30%.

I agree. Microsoft is aware of this issue and they're trying hard experiment with different methods. It's not easy to find a solution that is helpful and not annoying (or in the way) of getting your work done. For example, popups inside the app can be seen as helpful for some, but annoying for others.

Normal users can barely open the file with all the security warnings and popups. Even worst is I use to chare a command bar with 90% of the features i use with in a month. Microsoft a few years ago made the importing of the bar non-functional, even if I save my current one it reset to default on import. The Search function is a game changer if you know what you are searching for. The Navigation panel hasn't made it through the cooperate filters yet. But i would love for them to fix the mountain of bugs than add new features. Overly inflating file sizes, constant unrecoverable crashes, cells getting stuck with the updating % overlay. Adding new feature to a plague program is like giving cough medicine to some one with lung cancer. FIX the F'ing Program! I've been dealing with rampant file sizes issue for over 20 years now. Guess what, Pandas don't like xlsb file types....

The fact that there is a "Commands not in the ribbon" section when you customize the Quick Access Toolbar is prime example of this. Most of them are garbage, but there are some that are super useful, in PowerPoint for example there are a Pick Up Style and Apply Style commands that are WAY more powerful than the Format Painter shortcut, if anything because they store the style and you can later apply it without having to worry about mis-clicking.
Thank you for this video. Very usefull. I would like to see a feature where ppl could center across selection vertically. I can't stand those merged cells.

Ctrl-Alt-V already works to bring up the "Paste Special" dialog. you still have to specify values only, but it's at least a little faster than the ribbon

First of all, thank you for your very knowledgeable content. I love that you know sooo much about so many applications and I find your channel VERY useful. Maybe you have specified somewhere, and maybe I have not seen it but I would find it very useful if you mentioned in which versions of Excel these features are available. For example I am using excel 2021 and I don't see some of these new features so do they need to be switched on or are they only available in 365? TIA

Awesome recap, thanks Leila!! Search the menus is my favorite.
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial! Several features look like they’ll be useful for what I do, and a few others I want to check out for personal projects. My concern is the stability of Excel on larger files. It just seems like the more MS adds the more often my files crash. If we can search the Navigation bar, and we’ve had the ability to make our own toolbar for a while, let’s get rid of the bulk of the Navigation bar. Why have 3 different ways of doing the same command? MS needs to put Excel on a diet if they’re adding new features.
Loved all of them. I also noticed a Python function in your Excel ribbon. Could you please tell us more about that?
