Thank you for supporting the channel! I can't believe we're at 2 million subscribers. If you'd told me that a few years ago, I'd say: "IMPOSSIBLE! No one wants to go to TH-cam to learn Excel!" I'm honored to be surrounded by smart people like yourself - always willing to improve and learn. Wish you a happy New Year and wonderful holidays (if you're celebrating).
Ihve been listening carefully for all the important questions and their answers. I'll be following them too. Thanks for sharing your daily life strategy.
"no one wants to go to TH-cam to learn Excel" Well, that the first place Google sends you to....and you tend to be among the top hits! Beats a dry text version by someone selling Excel add-ons!
8:56 Re. _"You think you are hot,"_ so what? You are hot. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for your videos because they encourage people to be better at tools that almost everyone should be good at in their workplace.
I didn’t have the opportunity to post my assumptions, so I’ll put one here. I assume that the assumptions you were reading were on a carefully constructed PowerPoint slideshow that your team assembled over the course of a couple of weeks.
"and a sweetheart! " Bingo! --> It's her looks that have gained her a huge percentage of those subscribers, showing just how 'easily influenced' so many males (and females!) are !!!
@@ChrisM541 Basic Engiish: The word "sweetheart" does not refer to one's appearance but to one's disposition. LG consistently appears pleasantly happy when helping others learn.

@@wmfield152 "she is attractive, but I don't think that is relevant to her effectiveness as an exceptionally good teacher." --> It is, however, 100% relevant to her ability to very significantly grow her subscribers...and this is the entire point I'm making.

Of course, good on her for playing that attribute up, but don't be too naive in assuming that's not a significant reason for her starting a YT channel - frequent several hundred thousand viewers draws in an equally significant steady amount of money for her ;)
It's very generous of you to be prepared to respond to internet dottiness like this, but you don't need to. You're a lovely trainer because you are a lovely person, and you treat your audience with respect, with care, and with warmth. So don't ever be swayed my comments or "assumptions".You're getting it just right and you're simply the best. Exactly as you are. Phil
For the service you are providing to a huge community of learners, the only assumption is that you passionately share what you have spent a life time to learn. Thank u for your wonderful videos and all power to keep doing this great work.
Leila, my only assumptions about you is you are bright, intelligent, and passionate about sharing your knowledge. There are numerous people who share how-to videos on Excel and of them all, you are the best.
I will never get people who want to insult people they've never met and don't know. I appreciate your videos, Leila. I learned more about PowerPoint from you than all the other teachers combined. You don't muck up the presentations with several things at once or leave important points out. I, for one, am very grateful for your channel and tutelage. Thank you.
our assumptions about you are ( from our household) you are really smart, creative, an excellent communicator and we are grateful for all that you do - blessings to you and your precious family.
Who would think any of these thoughts about you! You are a beautiful soul with so much talent and knowledge-driven to share it with your viewers. Thank you for teaching the ways of these very cool programs!!!
For being shy, you come across as both professional, knowledgeable, and well-prepared. You tackled the dumb questions (more personal) most professionally.
I didn't get in on submitting my assumptions. What I can see is that you push yourself outside of your comfort zone to do videos like this and I think that is pretty amazing. Thanks for being my go to TH-camr for Excel and more. Have a very Merry Christmas.
Well, we are fortunate to have your wonderful tutorials on here. You are a superb teacher, and I have learnt loads from you. But your husband and family are fortunate, too, to have such a lovely, genuine and all-round brilliant wife and mom. As came across so strongly from this wonderful video. And as your - thoroughly deserved - 2m+ subscribers demonstrate, you are one outstanding lady. Thank you!
I don’t know you, but I can make one assumption - you’re the best Excel instructor on TH-cam! You’re easy to listen to and watch, you know Excel backwards and I learn more from you than from anyone else! I’ll sub as soon as I’m done writing this. Keep up the good work ❤️❤️❤️
Madam honestly to come across your video and learning excel from you was blessing. At least at 60 years of my age I am far better than many in my office.thanks hope yours excel will make many excel in their life.
I hear assumptions as yet to be confirmed wonderings 😁 I’m sure the people with these wonderings are now at peace. Thank you for all your efforts! Because of your confidence and desire to get better - my confidence has grown exponentially from your teaching! Your channel is the first place I go whenever I want to grow in Excel - or just randomly explore for tricks that I can apply in the future. I hope to see your channel continue for as long as you want!
You see yourself as a teacher. Well, you are a very good teacher because you are good at explaning things. You explain things so a newbie can understand, but also so a experienced user dosen't get anoyed. Not everybody can do that. Even if you are an experienced user, you can be a newbie to some functions in a program. That's why experienced users use TH-cam videos to learn new things ! So it is nice with the good explanations, that dosen't assumes that we know everything. Keep up the good work ! And - you are absolutly NOT arrogant ! 🙂 You have a very plesant way to teach.
Haha, enjoyed this! 😀When you become "popular & famous", people are interested to know you as a person different from the professional, and I think you did a great job here in talking about the assumptions and revealing the "real" Leila! Loved it! Thank you and wishing you all the best and happy holiday and festivities ahead! 😊
I prefer observations over assumptions. I observe that you are intelligent and knowledgeable and choose to share that with an audience that benefits from your work. Your success in the TH-cam and technology space is deserved and earned.
In German English: Thank you for jumping over your shadow. Yes, as many have said, it’s none of our business really, but I enjoyed it anyway. Keep it up!
You are a lovely person who does not have an overblown conception of yourself. Just watching you respond to these guesses really reveals how lovely you are. As I have commented in the past, there are many of us who are jealous of your husband for having found you first.
Hi Leila, All the subscribers here are truly blessed with a good teacher like you. You are a hardworking person who reached 2.13M subscribers, which is not a joke. I strongly believe you dont need people's assumptions about you. For me, you are one of the wonderful Excel teachers. It's not my business to know your personal life. I always wish you a very happy blessed family life. Please continue your good cause which helps n number of people in their day-to-day life. That's something good karma. My best wishes to you always.
Years ago the various search algorithms decided your content was exactly what I needed. They were right. I have been able to post your explanations in our companies forums after the official answers were too complicated. “This worked for me” comment when I post them has made me look smarter, and I like that…. 😊
honestly i haven't seen + cannot believe people have assumptions like these about you. i think you're very loved and respected. Keep being you, we admire you that way
How many people are googling Leila while watching this? Only Excel is showing up on my laptop. I think just like she said, all we need to know is she is a good teacher in office tech tools. I like this type of learning experience, my Mom doesn't believe I got promoted by watching "dummy videos" on TH-cam. But it put me way more busier and has less time to come back to these channels I love. Anyway, happy new year Leila and your team. Thank you for all the providing.
Leila would make a pivot table grouping assumptions about her. And then make a video showing people how to do it. Thank you for making great educational videos.
In it's day Lotus 123 was THE spreadsheet solution. Even after we switched to Excel at work, still used Lotus Smartsuite at home for years. Only stopped using it once it became totally unsupported.
100% Lotus 123 was my preference and where I learned macros. My issue with Excel is that it tends to try be TOO helpful - same with all MSFT software. Sometimes you really just want to do things yourself without the having to dig thru all kinds of FAQs, etc. to 'undo' some of the 'helpfulness'... And remember - "It's never a bug, it's a feature that we haven't figured out how to use..."
I rarely dig deeper into ppl's private lives by listening yt videos BUT I really enjoy listening to you! Love your mind and your modesty... and you really helped with my excel world, so thank you for doing really great work! And yes... I expected some excel sheets with presenting your responses LOOOOL xoxo
I think you are beautiful inside and out. I for one am very thankful for your Excel videos, they are helping me, and my goal is to one day be a "guru" at it. God Bless
Dunno where people get some of these assumptions about you, Leila. First time I watched your videos I was so grateful (and still am) that someone would pour their heart into sharing such valuable information publicly with organization and details. Thank you.
Your videos have been a constant source of inspiration. You have helped me with numerous trouble spots. Your presentation style is engaging. Yes, admittedly, you are pretty. Please don't feed the trolls. You are appreciated.
You are an awesome teacher and a tremendous resource. I'll usually have your tip videos running and some of the guys pop in my office for assistance. They will Glance over and think I just like watching a pretty woman on youtube. I'm like "wait until she flashes her EXAMPLES" and point to the white board by my desk I use to capture excel functions I never thought of combining. 'Yup boys-Thats right, I'm nerding out in my office 24/7... tell your friends!'
You are one of the very best teachers I learned from in my long life and definitely the best on TH-cam. I appreciate the amazing amount of work you do to be so. Thank you very, very much.
No matter what people say or think… one thing is sure you are a wonderful teacher and helped me a ton! So don’t sweat the assumptions and keep the good work 😊
At the 1:49 mark; " ... If you take a look at my first videos that I posted, they are far from perfect ...". Respectively disagree. They did not have the production values of your current training videos, but they were genuine. The content, the delivery and the comprehension of the material is what kept me coming back. And that has not changed ... 😍😍😍. Happy Holidays to you and your family ...
I really appreciate your videos. There have been countless times that I have looked up something I was stuck performing and you have always had a solution. My latest video that I thank you for is power queries. It has literally changed the way I do reports. Thank you!
Well, I must give you a new assumption - that you are a brave woman. To ask such questions to your audience can open up yourself to a lot of criticism most of us don't want to confront. But also, be daring to face that insecurity... priceless.
Your husband is a very lucky man. You're the most gorgeous online trainer, teacher, mentor one could ever need. I chose your training videos because you're easy to understand, pleasant to listen to and I'm more able to comprehend your explanations than many others doing similar work. I too am trying to learn python, but in my 60s now my brain just freezes with it. I think the key is having short projects to work on? Dunno, I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it 🤣
One easy assumption to make is that you like to help others develop their technical skills. I noticed you are a Microsoft MVP and if you go back to the origins of the program, that was essentially what it was all about. There was no TH-cam back then, just CompuServe forums and then subsequently Microsoft newsgroups where people asked questions and the community provided answers or assistance. Of course, much has changed since then, but I found it to be very satisfying and was also able to broaden my knowledge over the years as well. I'm sure you have discovered the same. Keep up the great work with your channel!
Hi, you are a great teacher. Your knowledge is deeply appreciated. Stay the course and ignore the judge mental people and be yourself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Every time I am ask myself, "how would I do that in Excel," or "how would a power user do x, y, z" I come to your channel. Keep doing what you are doing, you are helping people, that's what why it works out for you. Keep it up :)
It never ceases to amaze me what people will say to someone they only “know” over the internet. This was a great video. Thanks for your candor and great good humor.
Ms. Gharani, please don't pay attention to comments about your personal life. Your videos have been of great help. They've helped me automate my workload to a great extent. My gratitude and blessings. Keep up the good work.
That these character dwarfs allow themselves to pass judgment on you says everything about them, and nothing about you. Your videos are super made, helpful and therefore successful.
I always recommend your site to my students and tell them your videos are the gold standard. Your success is very much deserved. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best in the new year.
You present information very well, and that is not easy. Especially when you have a deep understanding of a subject that you are presenting to people that have little or no understand of. The production quality of your pod casts is great, this makes them enjoyable to watch. You concisely present useful, and accurate information. These are my assumptions about you. I don't believe I have the right, or need to know anything else about you, or your personal life. Please continue, and thank you.
even though we are total opposites, you are amazing. I refer all my staff and other managers to your videos and lessons because I learn so much from you.I believe you are a lot more fun than you lead us to believe. PS you have beautiful eyes
This is a great video. It presents you in a manner where we get to know you outside of "class" and makes your teaching videos seem as though we are watching a friend and someone we know. Also, you do look mighty nice (hot) and I totally mean this as a compliment. Much happiness and success to you in 2023!
I for one say you are very Smart are/would be very deserving of a six figure salary, you teach Excel succinctly and thoroughly (no simple task) and, while it shouldn't matter when teaching Excel, you have ever reason to think your "hot". I recommend your channel to people who want to improve their Excel skills at nearly any level. I use Excel for 80% of my time at work for the past 3 or 4 years, as a data analyst (before then I was mainly an MS Access person) and find your channel a great way to learn about new features or older features I've never used before (and at my jobs I've always been one of the most knowledgeable Excel users, but you still know so much more than me). Thank you, thank you, thank you and Keep Up the Excellent Work!!!
Love your teaching style, and all the hard work that goes into making the videos easy to watch and memorable. Many thanks to you and your fabulous team!
Would never guess that you're an introverted person. I'm introverted, could never do videos like you do. I appreciate all the work you put into your channel!
It is dumb many do that. Sadly that is likely more the norm. Some find it easier to make people relatable to watch them. Look how many actors turn out to be the opposite of how they really are when in public view - they know it works and rather then be better, they “act” in ways to attract others. Many cultures also teach from a young age to seek out and hold above them “something”, and that can translate to the need to form these personal attachments. Refer to how fan clubs, cults, and lately, political parties work. That said the knowledge from her videos I find awesome, I have shared links in numerous of my corporate forums, even when doing general searches for an answer, her videos typically come up and I heavily bias. They are a style and a flow I find should be the standard……. Omg, I’ve entered fan club stage, now I know what is in her closet, one more step and we got a cult over here, any day now I will want to follow some random chant she made up to get people excited and flip the norms of politics……. 😮
You are a great person. I love the work you do and the way you do it! I wish you continued success! Watch out for AI taking over your job however :) The other day I just asked an AI tool to deliver me a complex function in Excel just by typing it in. I may end up learning more and more Excel tricks and start practicing how to ask AI cleverly to prompt me with the correct answer.
Your computer productivity videos are great and as a professional who spends hours a week manipulating data, they provide great ideas and insight. Keep up the good work!

"no one wants to go to TH-cam to learn Excel"
Well, that the first place Google sends you to....and you tend to be among the top hits! Beats a dry text version by someone selling Excel add-ons!
Sorry I am late to the party, one assumption from me, if you will indulge me.
You are Sade's sister.

Absolutely, @Phillip Herlihy.
Like I’ve said before, you have a beautiful resonating voice which calms me down. Of course you’re very charming too.
😊 thanks

Arrogant?
Absolutely not! I agree with @Redbank

You're wonderful, Leila. Everyone can feel the passion you put in the work you've done brilliantly for all these years. Thank you so much!

You don't muck up the presentations with several things at once or leave important points out. I, for one, am very grateful for your channel and tutelage. Thank you.
Yes, I dont professionally use Excel, except for prepairing invoices. But I watch your videos anyway, am I weird?
I love your enthusiasm and simple way of explaining things.
You dream about work! Yes! I can totally relate.
Thanks so much, Anthony!
our assumptions about you are ( from our household) you are really smart, creative, an excellent communicator and we are grateful for all that you do - blessings to you and your precious family.
Any type of your videos - about Excel or yourself - is just superperfect. You are great teacher & presenter!
I’m sorry you are dealing with these kinds of comments. You’re an amazing teacher and YT is lucky to have someone like you.
Congratulations Leila, for your excellent tutorials and your 2M subscribers, I learned a lot thanks to your work. The rest is up to you
Thank you!
Someone once told me not to pay any attention to “what they say”. I think you are excellent! You can never please all the people all the time.
My assumption is you’re a genuinely nice person who just wants to help others. You’ve made me want to get certified in MS, so thank you!
Fun idea! I’ve taken two of your courses and followed your TH-cam channel for many years now. Always a fan, thanks for making a difference.

I have used your vids and EXCEL short cuts and tips countless times during the last few years. You are awesome..keep up the good work Leila.

I don't have assumptions about you, just observations. They're what keep me returning to your channel.

I really appreciate your videos. There have been countless times that I have looked up something I was stuck performing and you have always had a solution. My latest video that I thank you for is power queries. It has literally changed the way I do reports. Thank you!
Great to hear! Thank you Mike.
Well, I must give you a new assumption - that you are a brave woman. To ask such questions to your audience can open up yourself to a lot of criticism most of us don't want to confront. But also, be daring to face that insecurity... priceless.
You are just amazing Leila!! Appreciate so much the information you provide!!
Thank you so much!
Your husband is a very lucky man. You're the most gorgeous online trainer, teacher, mentor one could ever need.
I chose your training videos because you're easy to understand, pleasant to listen to and I'm more able to comprehend your explanations than many others doing similar work.
I too am trying to learn python, but in my 60s now my brain just freezes with it. I think the key is having short projects to work on? Dunno, I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it 🤣
One easy assumption to make is that you like to help others develop their technical skills. I noticed you are a Microsoft MVP and if you go back to the origins of the program, that was essentially what it was all about. There was no TH-cam back then, just CompuServe forums and then subsequently Microsoft newsgroups where people asked questions and the community provided answers or assistance. Of course, much has changed since then, but I found it to be very satisfying and was also able to broaden my knowledge over the years as well. I'm sure you have discovered the same. Keep up the great work with your channel!
Hi, you are a great teacher. Your knowledge is deeply appreciated. Stay the course and ignore the judge mental people and be yourself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Every time I am ask myself, "how would I do that in Excel," or "how would a power user do x, y, z" I come to your channel. Keep doing what you are doing, you are helping people, that's what why it works out for you. Keep it up :)
It never ceases to amaze me what people will say to someone they only “know” over the internet. This was a great video. Thanks for your candor and great good humor.
Ms. Gharani, please don't pay attention to comments about your personal life.
Your videos have been of great help. They've helped me automate my workload to a great extent.
My gratitude and blessings. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
That these character dwarfs allow themselves to pass judgment on you says everything about them, and nothing about you. Your videos are super made, helpful and therefore successful.
I always recommend your site to my students and tell them your videos are the gold standard. Your success is very much deserved. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best in the new year.
Your videos are informative and you come off as a delight! Happy Holidays!
Same to you!
You present information very well, and that is not easy. Especially when you have a deep understanding of a subject that you are presenting to people that have little or no understand of. The production quality of your pod casts is great, this makes them enjoyable to watch. You concisely present useful, and accurate information. These are my assumptions about you. I don't believe I have the right, or need to know anything else about you, or your personal life. Please continue, and thank you.
I admire your passion for what you do, greetings from Ecuador
even though we are total opposites, you are amazing. I refer all my staff and other managers to your videos and lessons because I learn so much from you.I believe you are a lot more fun than you lead us to believe. PS you have beautiful eyes
You are my excel Sensei. You are a Queen. Period. Cheers from Mexico! Much love for all the great work you do!
Wow, thank you!
This is a great video. It presents you in a manner where we get to know you outside of "class" and makes your teaching videos seem as though we are watching a friend and someone we know. Also, you do look mighty nice (hot) and I totally mean this as a compliment. Much happiness and success to you in 2023!
Leila, your video's are the first i turn to when i have an excel problem. Merry Christmas
You are fantastic! Both as a person (as I see it), and as an inspiring teacher here. Love that - thanks for your hard efforts
Nice upbeat vid but with some thoughtfulness & honesty in confirming/contradicting assumptions. Comes across very well. Thanks!
Thank you for your excellent tutorials. I have learned quite a lot form you and your team. Merry Christmas!
Same to you, Joseph!
I for one say you are very Smart are/would be very deserving of a six figure salary, you teach Excel succinctly and thoroughly (no simple task) and, while it shouldn't matter when teaching Excel, you have ever reason to think your "hot".
I recommend your channel to people who want to improve their Excel skills at nearly any level. I use Excel for 80% of my time at work for the past 3 or 4 years, as a data analyst (before then I was mainly an MS Access person) and find your channel a great way to learn about new features or older features I've never used before (and at my jobs I've always been one of the most knowledgeable Excel users, but you still know so much more than me).
Thank you, thank you, thank you and Keep Up the Excellent Work!!!
Many thanks Norman for the kind words.
I have nothing but respect for you; you have helped me so much. I disagree with all the negative comments.
Love your teaching style, and all the hard work that goes into making the videos easy to watch and memorable. Many thanks to you and your fabulous team!
Would never guess that you're an introverted person. I'm introverted, could never do videos like you do. I appreciate all the work you put into your channel!
I appreciate that, Ryan!
I never understood why people always get personal with public personalities.
It is dumb many do that. Sadly that is likely more the norm. Some find it easier to make people relatable to watch them. Look how many actors turn out to be the opposite of how they really are when in public view - they know it works and rather then be better, they “act” in ways to attract others. Many cultures also teach from a young age to seek out and hold above them “something”, and that can translate to the need to form these personal attachments. Refer to how fan clubs, cults, and lately, political parties work. That said the knowledge from her videos I find awesome, I have shared links in numerous of my corporate forums, even when doing general searches for an answer, her videos typically come up and I heavily bias. They are a style and a flow I find should be the standard……. Omg, I’ve entered fan club stage, now I know what is in her closet, one more step and we got a cult over here, any day now I will want to follow some random chant she made up to get people excited and flip the norms of politics……. 😮
It's always a form of jealousy.
I don't do it but I think I understand: it's human nature to be curious and want to get to know more of people.
Normally I'd agree but in this case she specifically asked for it, didn't she?
You are a great person. I love the work you do and the way you do it! I wish you continued success! Watch out for AI taking over your job however :) The other day I just asked an AI tool to deliver me a complex function in Excel just by typing it in. I may end up learning more and more Excel tricks and start practicing how to ask AI cleverly to prompt me with the correct answer.
Missed one-- you are generous with your knowledge and expertise and like to share with the user community.
Your computer productivity videos are great and as a professional who spends hours a week manipulating data, they provide great ideas and insight. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for that, Benoit!
