Chandoo, this was really enlightening. The topic almost threw me away "Excel'. I suggest you should use more general titles as you hardly taught anything about Excel in this video. Thanks for all the tips. There are in my pocket now and I will surely rewatch this video
Thanks Bayo. I will test out alternative title and thumbnail for this sometime. It is doing great compared to my other videos. So I am not gonna mess with it for now :)
Wow he excels at freelancing
Wow, that was so encouraging.
Your straightforward and sincere explanation is valuable and useful.
I have a question, with you decade or more experience with Excel could you call your self a Data Analysis or that is a different field altogether, 2nd question
What are the most basic things I should concentrate if I want to get into the field of Excel, Data Analyst job as (free lancer) is what I am targeting. I am approaching my Retirement time, and I don't want to loose the battle without a final fight.
Thank again you are one of the most genuine person on TH-cam.
Lot of Love & best of Regards from Pakistan.
Chandoo? you are greaat! Thank you for your videos!
