Its incredible how much Excel is evolving. I'm an expert Excel user and I feel that with so many new 365 functions I need to revamp my Excel skills.

This is INVALUABLE right now -- there's an analysis I was working on yesterday that requires making a unique, chronological dynamic array of dateranges from multiple tables and I was NOT aware of VSTACK but that is exactly what I need. You're an absolute GODSEND, Leila! ❤❤

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful and that the VSTACK function will be useful for your analysis. It's always great to hear that my videos are making a difference for people. If you have any other questions or topics you'd like me to cover, feel free to let me know.

I use excel everyday but I didn't know about Take, Choosecols and chooserows until today. Thanks for the great video.

Hi Leila i really admire the way you teach but not just the way you teach and explanain the step by step of excel fucntions but you also look for further functionallyties to explode in a single function by combining them with other functions that is where your CREATIVITY comes out and makes the differances with other youtubers!!

combination use of different formula together is really cool! Thank you Leila for such valuable video!

Hi Leila! I've been following your videos for years now and have taken some of your classes (I need to take the Power BI class soon!). I just want to say the way you present topics and produce videos has evolved so much! it's just amazing! I make a lot of videos internally for my company and I'll never be at your level ;-). Thanks for all you do!

Excellent use of the different functions combination. I love the way you just break it down to make it so easy to understand. Just comes to prove that Excel is so versatile and there are endless applications for it. Thank you Leila.

Amazing lecture Leila. Thanks for always being a source of inspiration to us all.

Great Tutorial Leila on TAKE function! The function by itself is simple, but when combined with other functions, makes wonders, and you have shown it so perfectly and practically! Thank you so much!

Hey Leila, thank you so much for your content! I've been following you as of late to improve my Excel and Power BI skills, and I would say your channel is a hidden gem in the internet. The TAKE function was new to me, but I can't wait to use it now. Just one note on the last two examples: I believe the arguments for "highest/top" and "lowest" have switched signs, where "highest/top" should be negative and "lowest" should be positive. Just something you might want to comment on in the video, but it doesn't take away from its essence. Cheers!

Already using that one, it is so powerful !! But I didn't know about the curly brackets option on the take function, very useful ! Another great video by the way !! Total fan of you !

Awesome tutorial! As always. I love dynamic functions and formulas.

clever and stringent explanation for using this functions hand in hand for solving a problem ... very smart!

Hi Leila! Thank you so much for your great videos!!! They are useful and you have the talent to walk us through your reasoning process, thats invaluable. Great job!! Keep it going

I learned some new functions along with the Take function. Vstack, Choosecol, Filter, Sortby, etc. were new to me. Thank you for such a wonderful video.

Wow!...Thats a lot of possibilities in with a few simple commands. Thanks Leila for this great demo and practical use!

that sub reminder is actually catchy and effective, very clever!

Thank you Leila , I was having a bad day and this video just made it better.

this one is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much for the perspectives, different applications and formula combination examples!!

Amazing as always, thanks!

This is one of my favorite function. Yesterday I found out how to subtract the previous cell from the last cell with TAKE and DROP. Super excited.

Wow! Excellent video. I really enjoyed you demonstrating how to combine functions.

The first use case I thought of for this function is for dynamic chart ranges. Almost every chart I update at work pulls from the last 6 or 12 weeks of data, and using a take formula in the source data selection would make that process super smooth and dynamic, and it’s a lot more straightforward than using offset.

You are absolutely THE BEST!! Thanks Leila!

Cool! I need to look deeper into the region setting part and how many more excel functions that are likely to be affected by the different region settings. 💆🏼

Hi Leila as lovely as always, I can see the potential of this function combining with other text and position functions, awesome thanks for sharing 🤩😍

This is great! Such a clear explanation as well, thank you!

Thanks a lot for the excellent explanations. Now, I can use the TAKE and VSTACK functions!

I just got to know about the TAKE function and its amazing what results can be achieved using the function. Well done for sharing this knowledge.

Super easy to follow tutorial and great examples to demo the power of this new function

"TAKE function"??? ... never heard of it. But ONLY 37 seconds 'in' and I was hooked; " ... If you're familiar with the OFFSET function, this TAKE function is a lot easier to write and remember....". I sat back with my morning hot coffee (and pound cake) and shook my head in wonder for the next 9+ minutes ... ideas!!! ... ideas!!! ... ideas!!! ... 🤯🤯🤯. As I have commented many times before, 'Thursdays With Leila' doesn't disappoint ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you ... 😍 ...😍 ...😍.

First time I seen this! ❤ Love the way you combined the Take with other functions.

Oh the curly brackets part is so good!

Ok, you definitely know how to teach things. Teaching has been my job for 40 years now, I know there is hard work behind this, very well done.

love this! I wouldn't have known about this without you so thanks!

Hi Leila, just discovered your content a short while ago and already bought one of your Udemy Courses. I want to bring myself to learn some basic VBA and I am still overwhelmed with all the possibilities why I try to digest each lecture one day after another. This brings me hopefully more forward than waiting for "that one day" where I have time and do it all or most of it which will probably never come. Also in this YT video shown I like youre style of structuring/editing your videos. The "takes" 1 to 4 are great and always show me where I am within that time frame of the content shown. Thanks again, BR

​@@LeilaGharani thank you so much for the detailed explanation We need one suggestion from you We are working on a large excel file having more 30 to 40 mB files So considering above data can you suggest which laptop is helpful for team or which configuration is required

Great video - I recommend Leila’s paid courses on line - I worked through a set of vba ones, which were great - but I also like these freebie videos that are always quite practical

I have not used it so far but this definitely gave some good ideas, thanks Leila!

Great learning tips and new skills,thanks Leila❤

Your contents are always great!!

Amazing skill transfer! Thank you so much!

I’ve been using TAKE/DROP with LET to reference an table and get the data and headers. One reference will give both. This allows for dynamic headers for reports

Thank you. This is extremely formative for me.

Imparted very well Leila and the formulas are superb

Nice, clear demonstration.

What can I say but WOW. Excel is so powerful. The biggest problem is remembering how to use all these brilliant features. A brilliant tutorial from the Excel guru.

This is a great new function, thanks to that tutorial.

I'd love to hear more about the new functions 👍. Your explanations are both helpful and instructive. Unfortunately, there is hardly anything to be found in the German area.

THIS IS AWESOME! Thank you!

Fabulous as always. Thanks

Thank you for sharing,it’s really helpful for me

I already know where I'm going to use it. Thank you!

This is amazing. Thanks!

This is fantastic, Thank you so much.

Gold! Thank you!

Really awesome function and video, thanks

I love your videos and explanations.

You impress me everytime!

1st time aware of this Function. Thanks

Thank you for the video.

Love this Take film

Yet another TAKE on your incredible, clean and crisp teaching videos!😅

That was great! Thank you.!

Good presentation, thanks.

Thank you for the valuable content you share . One suggestion I have is to consider toning down the emphasis on phrases like "to impress your boss" as we want to focus more on fostering a healthy and collaborative work environment and not impressing anyone at work. Keep up the great work! 🙌

Very well explained thank you!

Great stuff! Thanks from South Africa.

Fantastic tips!!!

Awesome as usual

Great video! I have used TAKE since the day it became available to insiders. This is the first video I have seen with a practical example of its use and capabilities. It rather flew under the radar when first introduced partly because of its bad name. I have commented on other channels that it should have been called KEEP! BTW. The single cell combined formulas you crested could make great LAMBDAS.

woo wonderful formula I never used before and thank you for sharing
