    • @brianspiller9075

      I do not like the subtotals method. It modifies the data table and reduces flexibilty for other uses.
      I prefer to leave the data and build a Pivot Table providing the summary. The Pivot Table can be resorted, Filtered or changed in other ways to identify particular data points.

    For a few years now, "Thursdays w/Leila" is calendar 'must-watch' appointment for me... it is the VERY first thing I do in the morning.
    But when I saw this mornings title, I disappointingly thought "... eh ... 🥱 ... probably not for me ..." and went on to deal with other pressing items. Once they were done, and because I am big fan, I half heartedly returned to watch today's video ... and within the FIRST minute found myself thinking " oh ... interesting ... I did not know that ... " ... and then repeated that same comment for the next 15 minutes.
    So ... I was wrong (again) to doubt Professor Leila ... mea culpa ... but I can make amends and with the recently expanded coverage, happily I do get to "see each other" more often ... which is a good thing ... a very good thing.

Can you do a video about Excel versions -- what version you are currently using, what version is widely used, what version we should request our IT department consider upgrading to, etc. I realized I don't have Xlookup and I started wondering what else I can't do. What happens if a client sends along an xls with an Xlookup function that I can't read? Thanks
