Working with data is an instrumental component in many areas of decision making. Excel is one of the most common applications for consuming, analyzing, and presenting data. Additionally, many of the skills and concepts that work with Excel are transferable to other spreadsheet applications such as Apple Numbers, Google Sheets, and Quip.

A common professional saying is to tell a story with data. In this analogy, you are the author, the data are your words, and Excel is your blank page. My goal for this channel is to share the experience I’ve gained through over 20 years of using Excel to help you tell your best data story.

Thank you for checking out ExcelSmith. Let’s get started.

    Thanks for this video. I have this project I'm working on that looks at attendance by Month, Year and Employee. I have created this let formula =LET(d,Data[ATTENDANCE DATE],e,Data[EMP NAME],p,Data[Position],m,Data[MONTHLY],i,Data[Include], sl,TRANSPOSE(SORT(UNIQUE(e),,-1)), vl,SORT(UNIQUE(d),,1), cl,SUM(m), fr,HSTACK("Start of Month",sl,"Total Payroll"), sr,HSTACK(vl,SUMIFS(m,d,vl,e,sl),SUMIFS(m,d,vl)), tr,HSTACK("Total Hours", SUMIFS(m,e,sl),SUM(cl)), VSTACK(fr,sr,tr)) I have a column in the Data set called Include =SUBTOTAL(3,[@[EMP NAME]]) Using the Pivotvy function it will filter the Data based on Slicers. The issue is that Pivotby is not available in the Customers current 365 Version. Theye do have the Filter and Let functions. How would i add the Filter function into the Let formula above.

    how can I search based on the ending of words? *end doesn't work because it finds "end" anywhere in the word, and ?end finds it anywhere as long as it's not at the beginning because it requires at least one preceding character. Neither option specifies anything about what happen if there is no wildcard after the string being searched.

    This was one of the best videos I've ever watched. The time and consideration you put into your visuals to help the viewer better understand what you were saying (using blue arrows and orange arrows to differentiate between the occurrences or using a border around the range you were talking about) is great. Seriously man keep up the great work. Definitely subscribing to your channel.

    This is a very good video with excellent information. Unfortunately, it was very hard to follow and replicate because your video did not zoom into what you were doing or explaning and I could not read the formulas that you created. This made it very difficult to implement your excellent information. Recommend looking at some other like tutorial videos (like this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kX6a1aeQltzcj6g.html) and learn how to zoom in and out so people can see what you are actually doing, especially demonstrating/explaning the formulas are concerned.

    In Excel 2013 i'm seeing =MAX(ROW(A:A)) always returns 1, but (note ROWS vs ROW) =MAX(ROWS(A:A)) returns 1048576. But that doesn't help Formula B, which is now always returning 1048576 . in 2013 i'm trying =MATCH( MAX(A:A), A:A, 1) which seems to work (i.e. find the last row) with numbers and dates, but not chars. For chars i can use a large string as in =MATCH( "zzzzzzzz", A:A, 1). I feel like i'm going astray.

    Thank you so much for that video; I have been looking for this for so long. I have followed your instructions step by step, and it is working well. I have one question, though - not really an error, just an annoying thing. For example, the division I chose is Div 07, and when I expand the dropdown of Salespeople, it shows me the names of salespeople assigned to that Div 07. However, at the top of the dropdown, it is displaying Div 07 as the first Salesperson option. I'm not sure where I made a mistake, and I would appreciate information if you know what I should correct. Thank you.

    Worth noting (just cause I just went through this pain) - MATCH will allow you to use 'TRUE' as its first parameter, but that only works when you use the ampersand syntax & to string together your criteria. For this asterisk and parentheses syntax, using the '1' as the first for 'true' is critical. Microsoft Office documentation is always SO hard to sift online, so thanks so much for this video.

    is there a way to make this more dynamic by referencing cells that have the word "Widget" or "Gadget" in it. Then you could change one of the cells to "DooDad" and change your filter criteria that way? I just don't like typing out "Widget" within the formula

  • @ExcelSmith
    @ExcelSmith11 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the question. This is definitely doable. For example, using the equation from the video, we could place “Gadget” in cell P2 and “Widget” in cell P3. Updating the equation with references to these cells instead of the hardcoded values gives us: =FILTER(B5:G24,((C5:C24=P5)+(C5:C24=P6))*(E5:E24>5000)*(F5:F24>3000),"No value") We can then change the value in cell P2 from “Gadget” to “Doodad” to update the filtered results. I hope this helps.

I faced an issue with using @Region or in my case @Description and couldn’t make it to appear in light blue font as in the formula. I couldn’t do the whole function with the true and false statements as well. I would really appreciate it If you could help me by any mean to get through this.

    Thanks for the question. The first two things I would check are 1) that the data on the “Form” worksheet is set as an Excel Table and 2) that the equations in columns L through O are entered as array formulas. 1) If the data is set as an Excel Table, you will see a “Table” tab in the ribbon when you have selected any of the header cells (row 2 in the video example). If you don’t see the “Table” option in the ribbon after selecting one of the headers, with a single header cell selected, select “Insert” and then “Table”. 2) If the equations in columns L through O were entered as an array formula, you will see curly braces surrounding the equation when you have the cell selected without the cursor being active in the formula bar. If you’re not seeing the curly braces, to enter the equations as an array formula, with the cursor active in the formula bar, press CONTROL + SHIFT + ENTER to submit the equations, as opposed to just ENTER. If theses suggestions don’t solve the issue, please let me know the timestamp from the video where it’s not working for you so I could provide some additional details. It would also help If you could provide your equation, if possible. I hope this helps.
