Thank you Kenji for the test. I have finished the test in 7 min. In the future i want you to make a more video like this. it will help our Excel knowledge. Love you man.
i learnt something new with the CTRL+H trick, but you still have the space after your sentence, so a cleaner formula would be TEXTBEFORE. In cell D6 enter =TEXTBEFORE(C6," (").
Great video and a diverse array of fundamental Excel questions. Thank you Kenji! For the BONUS QUESTION, I'd go by the formula *=LEFT($C6,SEARCH("(",$C6)-2)* since the parentheses appear only at the end of company names in column C.
@KenjiExplains, I've been watching your videos for some time now, I was able to complete all the questions without following along with the video, however I will watch now to get other ideas on how to solve. Thank you!
This exercise is great but I thought of a better solution for Q5 which uses SUMIF: =SUMIF(B6:B16,F6,D6:D16). If Sarah was to work part-time in one department and part-time in another, then she would occur twice in the table, so you would need to sum for the two occurences. XLOOKUP would only reference the first occurence. In your example, Xlookup works fine, but only because Sarah only occurs once in the table. Also if instead you wanted to know the revenue for a department like Sales (3 occurences), then SUMIF would be better.
I used =LEFT(C6,FIND("(",C6)-1) in a new column for the bonus question, had no idea it was possible the other way! Will definitely be using that one going forward
So an excel test I had the other week involved using LEFT to pull a code from a larger file name, using those codes for a v look up on a 2nd sheet. A pivot table for client costs, and some basic maths formula
Awesome video 🤝 Here's an additional solution for your bonus question that works when you need to erase text after or before specific characters. So, you can use the same function REPLACE (CTRL+F) and use (* to delete whole text after it finds last character "( " , or if you want to delete text before certain character you can use logic *( to delete all text before last character in this case "(". Best regards, Stevan
With the bonus question: would the extra space cause any issues e.g. when sorting? My plan was to find-replace “ (” to some other symbol not used, then Text to Columns, splitting via that symbol, and only retaining the left column
Hi, I'm better than I thought! For the bonus question to leave the original data intact, should someone need the stuff in parentheses later, I would have used SUBSTITUTE(). Off topic, autofill is magic at learning by example. You type in what transformations you want for the first few rows and autofill does the rest.
For the bonus I probably would have used textsplit or text to columns. But Learning the wildcard option in find and replace it great. I can see myself using that for quick results. Thanks!
Neat trick on the bonus question. Shouldn't you add a space in front of the open parenthesis though? Otherwise if you try to do a lookup for the name, you wont get a match because of the space at the end that isnt instantly noticeable
Hi Kenji, what if I have in my Excel only IFS function (not the IF), how should I put it then? Because with IFS, there are not enough ifs...if you understand that :D
Good morning Kenji, I have a formula that use to link different sheets, but when i new information to the main sheet, the Links become dead, how do maintain the link with additional information that changes the location from original sheet. Again the main is a master list with different information, but i have to isolate a column to another sheet. Thank you in advance
Thanks for new formulas I've just learned usually done for corporate departmental earnings calculation and presentation. It's like having a peek into the corporate world of meticulous data accuracies. Can AI in a specific department be programmed to update or correct data and files in real time for numerous data files for for personnel reviews complete with displays and presentations to proof check any probable errors and having to update newly entered data's in real time as an assessment tools to asses AI performance and to double check also for any human errors aside from supervisorial reviews and checks in Data and files segregation by systematic orderings of entered data's pre prorammed as such like having second opinion like in medical check ups and transforming AI solutions as a human assistance partner in real time accurate information enterings for very large bulk of data files only at the same time as a tool mechanism of pre programmed data storage facilitator.
Hey Kenji, i hope you are doing well, just a quick question for Q5, when i put the same formula my excel doesn't show the correct answer but it shows the last revenue at D16, is it because if have old excel or is there something else wrong?
Actually the Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in the Chicago Bulls, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney tandem in the Beatles winning formula indirectly infused a glimpse of what's gonna be ahead of time that works.

Thanks for the suggestion! Will keep it noted :)
i learnt something new with the CTRL+H trick, but you still have the space after your sentence, so a cleaner formula would be TEXTBEFORE. In cell D6 enter =TEXTBEFORE(C6," (").
Wow its important
I tested that inserting a space before opening parentheses in "find what" will also work.
Thank you. I took a timed test, only 30 seconds per question and that was daunting.
Great video and a diverse array of fundamental Excel questions. Thank you Kenji!
For the BONUS QUESTION, I'd go by the formula *=LEFT($C6,SEARCH("(",$C6)-2)* since the parentheses appear only at the end of company names in column C.
Here's a more elegant one for M365 users: =TEXTBEFORE($C6, " (")
thank you for going over both the text split formula and the text to columns options. It makes it very accessible.
@KenjiExplains, I've been watching your videos for some time now, I was able to complete all the questions without following along with the video, however I will watch now to get other ideas on how to solve. Thank you!
had no idea about the * in the bonus q thanks
awesome quite niche XD

Hi Kenji, I used the function textbefore for the bonus question and used "(" as the delimiter. That worked too.
Bonus q can be solved with text to columns too, using "(" as delimiter and selecting skip column for the latter part.
Hi Kenji, for the last question, I would use text to columns separated by (; your solution is obviously more elegant
I have passed your test using the exact same solutions shown in this video. You are truly my master ^_^
No one like him. Life saver.
Loved that bonus answer
Finally! A video that easily explains Index Match and how is compares to Xlookup. Thanks Kenji!
Glad it was helpful!
@@KenjiExplains As always! Please keep 'em coming, these videos help way more than you can imagine.

That was fun! I even got the bonus question because I learned it from you, on another video. 😆🙏
Great video! I think that for Q5, a sumif would've been useful in case there were multiple Sarah values in a larger dataset.
Really great prep help!! Cheers, Kenji!!, could you do a video on how to make a quality MIS report in excel
That bonus question got me. Thank you! 😊
Great video thanks Kenji. I did another of your excel common questions earlier which really helped when I did this one. Chuffed with myself 🙂
That's awesome to hear! Best of luck if you have an Excel interview coming up :)
For the bonus I probably would have used textsplit or text to columns. But Learning the wildcard option in find and replace it great. I can see myself using that for quick results. Thanks!
best interviewer and the best applicant 😂💞🙏🏽
Excellent Excel proficiency exercises. Keep up the good work!

Great resource. I want more of this. Thank you
For the 5th que I've used Vlookup then index+match+match bcz I have excel 2013 and it doesn't have the Xlookup function 🤡🙏🏽
Hi Kenji, pls the bonus question i cud not solve it from my end and my excel is 2021. And thanks for your videos i learn alot from you.
Really great prep help!! Cheers Kenji
Very helpful video. Thanks
can you explain how does dollar sign mean each replacement? like what does it mean if $G$5 or G$5
Good morning Kenji, I have a formula that use to link different sheets, but when i new information to the main sheet, the Links become dead, how do maintain the link with additional information that changes the location from original sheet. Again the main is a master list with different information, but i have to isolate a column to another sheet. Thank you in advance
tysm man appreciates it.
In question 5, I can also use SUMIF function too
Please make more videos of excel test . Lots of love ❤❤
we'll note it thank you!
I passed! have an interview tomorrow
did u get it ?

Man i like the way you explain things
I need help, how would you count the number of consecutive days in excel ? For example, if after 5 days worked in a row, there is at least 1 day off?
Great . It really worked for me.
I have to get used to using wild card * - been doing excel for 25 years and still learning new things.
I got them all correct, what will be my level of expertise in excel?
Is it beginner or intermediate or advanced?
I love the bonus 😊
I didn’t know about that bonus question 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awesome, thanks Kenji!
thanks for watching :)

Good Questions Kenji😀
Very Good Kenji Carry on
please work on Power BI 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Actually the Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in the Chicago Bulls, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney tandem in the Beatles winning formula indirectly infused a glimpse of what's gonna be ahead of time that works.
I need this to be thee EXACT test they give me lol
Thank you
in my excel 2016 no function is textsplit..which is your version?
It was introduced in Excel 365.
I'm seriously waiting for your video on python basics to advance
Love u bro❤
the best community service too
Very good
Woww great !!
I appreciate the video, but most of these questions were already covered in your previous videos.
Galing mo sir sa push button, chicks drawer Yan, kaya nga ako nag aaral Dyan, he he.
For the question 3, there is another formula to split the text, I will use MID and Find to do this question if the excel version is before 2013😅
Kenji make video on how to automate whole financial modeling using AI to save hell out of time
Great :)
Bravo
top man
Great
thank you!
