I have been using Excel for over 30 years. I can teach Excel for the average user. I learned several things from this video. Everything was explained simply!!
As an Excel instructor, I just love to see the faces of the participants when I give a cool demonstration of Flash Fill. Priceless!!!!! BTW the shortcut for Flashfill is Ctrl+E
Keep in mind that flash fill is static. If the data changes, the flash fill result does not. If it is likely that the data could change, then a formula or even power query when you have a large or complex situation may be better.
This is one of the better, if not the best, videos on time-saving in Excel. I consider myself an advanced user, but never knew about the Alt = function, particularly when you have two tables next to each other.
First time viewer here. I just subscribed and “liked” based on this one video alone. I’m hoping your other videos are just as incredible because I usually don’t subscribe anywhere until I’ve seen several videos from any site. Thank you so much for this. I’ve been using excel (home use) for decades and I didn’t know 80% of what I learned here today. 😊
Hi Geoff, Where have I been going wrong? My head has been in the sand. Until I Heard about Excel University on a Podcast and found you here on TH-cam. You give the lessons so Clearly and eloquently this is Amazing, I will be an avid watcher of the channel. Thank you Geff 10/10 5 ***** Brilliant Job.
Been using Excel for many years. Always love me a good shortcut. You have provided us, without the rambling, several NEEDED quick fills that so many can use. LOVE your site, easy to understand, wonderful information. Keep up the great work!
Jeff, All I can say is WOW! This video was fantastic! I've been "dabbling" with excel for a number of years but never knew most of what you just did! Thank you so so much for doing this video! These tips are PRICELESS! 👍👍👍
As someone who works as a research analyst in Finance, a lot of these are certainly "time savers" but when you're building models and spreadsheets for the real world, error avoidance and clean scaling potential are incredibly important factors that need to be considered when analyzing data. So while it's great you can save time here and there, I would caution people to actually take the long way, prioritizing those factors instead of building your spreadsheet sub-optimally because they conform to some of the available shortcuts. I'm sure that was clear as mud.
@sharonjackson494 best way to learn is to do. Build a spreadsheet. Use as many shortcuts as you can think of. Do it again with another spreadsheet. Rinse and repeat. Unplug your mouse for hard mode, but it's worth it. 90% of the time there will be a keyboard shortcut that you need to Google and learn how to do. That's a decent start, should take weeks if not months to get fluent. Then you can layer on ideas around optimizing the spreadsheet size etc
I have used Lotus 1-2-3, Borland's Quattro Pro, Symphony, and Excel. I thought I was pretty good at it, but now I realize I have been doing things the hard way. These hacks are even better than keyboard shortcuts.
These tips are hand picked gems, zero to hero ways to do hard things quick and easy. Everyone that watches this should think hard before watching without leaving a like. Top of the line tips on being an Excel genius or at least look like one. Come on, when a video deserves, it feels soooo good to hit the like button. Look within for whether to hit the like button. The truth is in there.
I just learned more in 22 minutes than I learned in 22 years while figuring it all out by myself!!! P.S. This ADHD person appreciates the rapidity with which you present. This is one of the very few videos I haven't had to speed up to 1.25x, 1.5x or sometimes even 2x in order to stay focussed.
Great tips. Well brought and very informative. I liked 👍, hit subscribe 🔔and am now going to see what other great video's you have posted. Keep it up, as you've just made my life a bit easier.
Jeff soo good to see your face. It would seem we were both bitten by the programming bug in Basic programming class summer school jr, high at Walker. I have fallen in love with Excel VBA and see your passion for excel is mutual.
Hi Ted! Thanks for your kind note! As far as which Excel skills are most in demand, I'm not sure which would be most beneficial as it sorta depends on your role/company. But, to generalize, I'd recommend a solid foundation of functions and formulas, PivotTables, Power Query, and Power Pivot. These Excel skills would be beneficial to many Excel users.
The case that allows you to transpose must be the pivot table. Would it be after using SQL to obtain the main n then use that n factor in order to get the desirable outcome? one thing is hard to learn here in Linked in is that we know the tips and tricks but we can't imagine what and when scenario we can use it! Thanks for the interesting clip!
Thanks for the comment, I created a download page for all 7 files (zipped) here: www.excel-university.com/90rmbamnng0 I also added the link in the video description for future viewers :) Thanks Jeff
In Hack 4 where you can use fill series-drag with right click-paste as values only; I realise this is really great for converting formulas instantly to values, but do you have a solid hack for converting text to values? I’m not sure why but often the recommended routes don’t work - eg add a 1 in a cell, copy, select the “text” you want as numbers - paste special value & multiply. Still not numbers aargh.
These are great hacks but I'm having trouble with the equivalent keys on a Mac. I tried Alt+= (which should be Opt+= on a Mac) but it didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks!
@@ExcelU However, a part of my data in the two rows I am merging is seperated by commas. When I merge the rows the commas are excluded and I'm left with a long useless list of numbers. Ex it goes from 21,22 to 2122. What can I do?

Pivot tables solve almost all of this with just drag and drop, but it’s always great to know this for data cleanup
Absolutely!
The best Excel post I’ve seen recently.
Your teaching technic is awesome...easy to follow-up and very valuable tips...You are MASTER... Thanks a Million,

I use to 3 or 4 tricks but this is best way to do, faster and combining multiple tricks, really cool and perfect.
One of the best video I’ve seen in months; few hints but super useful! Thanks
I almost went with each hack, but then, something new came out, and... until the end! 😁😁

Great tips. I am looking to increase my skills and am wondering what aspect is most in demand, BI, dashboarding, etc.

Auto Outline is amazing
Brilliant!!! Thank you! Omg
OMG!! THANKS!🎉
hi great content , thank you but could not download exercise file, there is a kind of blocking at your web site
further more can you advise what to do if you dont have dedicated "=" but only as shift 0 to use that awesome alt = function
Rock star you are 🎉
Nice! Thanks!
Very good

@@ExcelU Thank you very much Jeff.
Oh! I was expecting 7 hacks about Excel's various Time functions.
Ha, me too. Time functions give me so many headaches that I change all dates to text strings and work with them that way!
Me too! Especially when carrying out calculations.
Same.
Articulate and well presented - Thanks! New subscriber!

Although I don't have a copy of Excel for Mac here that I can confirm, I believe it may be: ⌘⇧T
are you frickin kidding me? these are life changing.😂😂😆😃🤣
Thank you :)
You are my new best friend
Thanks … glad it was helpful :)
