Programming basics with the results of advance programming ... really useful for multidisciplinary professionals. Thanks so much for your insight.
Спасибо за наглядное объяснение. Ждем обновление Excel. )
The way Leila explain Lambda function is a simply awesome. Thanks...
This is a game changer... coming from a programming background where we have lambda these come in handy all the time.
Pretty sure this was possible with VBA
@@NL-tq1yr of course it was, but now you don’t have to be a programmer to get custom functions. This is a game changer for normal users.
I was fun of Excel, now i love Excel because of Leila. You are a great teacher thanks a lot.
Jaweed from Germany
UNBELIEVABLE. I am definitely looking forward to my Excel update. I am going to watch this video over and over again, and I can't wait to start practicing using this Lambda function.
I could definitely brush up on Lambda. Thanks Leila :)
You are actually saving people's jobs, without you many of us could be fired for lack of skill and expertise. Thanks
You always explain things so clearly. That's why I have all my students watch your videos. Thanks, Leila!
Thank you, Jim!
And my co-workers as well are big funs of Leila. Leila is a game changer.
She is like power query. She really makes an impact that matters. Thank you Leila
@@elactecnology 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If Leila teaches Quantum Physics and Thermodynamics I bet I will understand even those topics. Wonderfully Explained. Amazing content and lucid as usual, Thanks! Your follower from India
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
There are some sick people who disliked the video though
@@hichamhadj9640 they are jealous and they are crap at excel
A pity she isn't teaching those! Leila's the best teacher!
Btw this functionality is great for thermodynamics
LAMBDA is going to be my new best friend. All of my long complex formulas will be simplified and with naming I'll be able to understand all that I have done much better. Excel is getting better and better!
Dear Leila, you did a really great presentation of this new mega-function. Thanks a lot! Andreas
Many thanks! I'm glad it was helpful.
Wird Zeit, dass Du deinen Rechner mit der Insider-Version wiederbekommst!😄
Is it weird that I got excited when she was like, "...it changed everything... you need to see this" at 0:38? HAHA, only Leila makes me excited for excel!!! Thank you for your continued dedication to educate us!
LEILA IS THE BEST TEACHER AND MENTOR EVER! I have learned so much with Leilafor the last 7 years, Leila inspired me to make a difference in other people's lives. My target is to help at least 100,000 students. I
Great idea for a channel , good luck
Very concise videos, I can see how Leila Inspire you
Terrific 3 minutes Excel Tutorial, please continue,
Love your Approach and explanations
Great Content, really informative and easy to follow
#Mindblown! Excel is getting powerful than ever! Love it! Thanks, Leila!
I have been watching this lambda tutorials for a week now. Hands down no one has explained better than you. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
What an awesome presenter. I just love how she teaches.
Very explicit tutorial on this incredible function that allows for more possibilities within the grid. Thanks Leila for sharing
You're very welcome!
This is second time that I am watching the LAMBDA function explaination but first time i saw in a different channel, you have explained the root clearly and made to create many functions in my own, thanks a lot, the best part of the video is not only i learnt the LAMBDA, however i learnt the usage of SORT, UNIQUE functions too.
Leila is much more than an excel teacher, a true role model in terms of passion and the constant smile! I have attended 7 courses of yours and it did change my life. May your life be filled with joy!
Both awesome: function and explanation. Can't wait for part 2. Thanks for all your great job Leila!
Thank you! 😃
This is awesome and helps in many ways. Thank you Leila. Always look forward for your next video.
I finally took the time to look at and try this. This is quite awesome. Thanks for the easy-to-understand explanation!
This is game changing!! Would love to see the next video!!
Amazing. YOu are the Wonder Woman of Ms Excel..
its Christmas already, three videos from the Queen.very intricate... but it usually brings me back to nostalgia, revenge of the nerds"lambda lambda lambda fraternity"
the aura of mystery surrounding lambda finally disappears with such an ease... thank you so much leila.. could not have been possible without you teaching ❤️
You're welcome 😊
Very well explained. Tks. It took me few attempts to do it.
I can't stop thinking about combining query and lambda, that will be very interesting and I wish you could do a presentation. Love your videos.
Check my recursive example

#Lambda #exceltips #exceltraining
Thanks so much, fantastic video. I made my first lambda function to round a value to a specified # sig-figs, took 5 minutes and makes my sheets so much more readable!
good video as usual - for anyone watching this now, worth mentioning that Leila has new videos about the Advanced Formula Environment, which improves on the name editor that one had to use previously - but this video is still a good intro to lambdas
Great content! I'm since 2015 writing an AI and began from noob skills basic. Of course I came across some problems. But with your vids I managed to launch the first verion of thenfull AI program last month which still runs about 80% in Excel. (Yes it can and works so good) Thank you! Lambda is going to help me with the upgrade.
In the 80's I had a Commodore 64 Plus 4 where the Plus 4 were 4 function keys that you could program to do whatever you wanted, they were called hot keys, and that's what this reminds me of in a way. Bringing the looping function over from VBA can be useful in a way. It's certainly faster than Find & Replace if making the text that perfect is that important. I've always named my array formulas doing V and H lookups so you can use those anywhere in the workbook too. I would imagine there are very specific instances where combining multiple lambdas to clean up the data would come in handy but right now this looks like more of the same from Microsoft, introduce a new function in the latest version so you have to get that version and in the end it really only helps save time in very specific instances. I mean, people had VBA code to fix data for years but now we need Lambda. You did a great job of explaining it and maybe I'll get more out of the second video. I'll definitely check out the feature in my work but right now I'm not sure I see too many advantages over what I already do. Thanks for the video and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
As usual, very informative. I have to digest this a bit and try it out before I will know how much I'll be using this, but I have a feeling it may be often! Thank you, again, for your insight and explanations!
I have seen 4 different videos on lambda and this one actually explains the usage from scratch. And that's what you need for a new function. Great job Leila 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing, thank you for making it so easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
I really like your channel!!! I’ll keep watching and supporting w/super thanks!
Great video intro to the =lambda() functionality!
Can't wait for the recursive lambda features.
This is great. There will be libraries of just pick up and go lambda functions for recurring problems.
Amazing formula. Finally here. Thanks Leila.
Thank you very much! I have recommended your channel to no end, it never fails! Keep at it!
Thank you for your recommendation!
Now I need to find reasons to use this! Great explanation as always on your topics!
Wonderful Explanation as usual!! I'm still waiting for my update on the insider to get my hands-on LAMBDA function. Hope to see it soon, my mac soon.
Thanks Faraz! Hope you'll get it soon.
I found no better channel than this for excel videos
Awesomeness! (And very well explained.). Thank you.
Went ahead and signed up for Microsoft 365 BETA just for this. Good course
Oh wow. This is a huge addition to Excel. This is wonderful. Great tutorial
It really is Patrick!
Wow, finally a neat way to write custom formulas and give them cool names😃
Loving excel more because of your videos. Lamba makes excel much more powerful. Thanks for sharing
Just one word to describe the Lambda function and Leila's explanations: Wow!

WAS EXPECTING YOUR VIDEO ON LAMBDA
Thanks, very good explanation!
Thanks Sister for your great help!
woah... there is so much to learn in just this video!
Amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Hi Leila!! the Ms Excel team is practically bringing up to excel what what used to do in the VBA SCRIPT ,but this time it has been adapted through the excel formula languague, i would say that this LAMBDA function will bring a more practical solutions to us!! Nice video as always regards from Uruguay!!!
you explained this very well. Thanks
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant....Thanks so much Leila! Can’t wait for the next video! The mind boggles to think of all the things you will be able to do with this new function 😃
It really is a game changer, Roberto!
@@LeilaGharani looking forward to seeing the uses you find for it! 😃👍🏻
This is by far the most robust explanation of lambda I have seen, and I've seen several. Am I surprised? No. Superlative job as always Leila!
Thank you!
Great walkthrough!
Awesome explanation!
Thanks Leila. LAMBDA is a game changer for sure. Looking forward to the recursion version next week..
Yes. It is! The recursive part is amazing. I still have to do some tests regarding performance of this on bigger data sets.
This is aaaaaawesoooooooomeeee. I share Leila's videos to my coworkers ALL THE TIME. I love this channel, thanks for everything you do ♥️
Awesome! Thank you for your support!
A superb tutorial as usual. Thank you Leila.
Thank you! 😊
I knew such function when I develop power query linked calculation.
Now it is available as formula.
It may helps a lot for excel bound users.
Congratulations Leila!! You are great!!
Very interesting feature! I'm going to test it right away 😊
I found the topic to be complicated to understand, but after I listened to it twice I did understand the steps to make it work. Excellent presentation. I will do some testing to see how I can use this in my excel projects. Your enthusiasm makes the subject exciting. Thank you.
Hope it will come in handy for you.
This is intense. I wanna see this recursion jazz next week. 🤔
Classic bait-and-switch!
"Recursive Lambdas are so great! Watch this video to find out why!
Actually, I'll do those in next week's video"
Well done. I'm hooked.
I love lambda! Excel is such a wonderful tool, and this just makes it so much better! Unfortunately, most of my spreadsheet usage is in Google sheets. I hope Google adds this as well
Excellent training "Leilamda" 😂🤯 Excel and Data for eternity, nothing is out of reach for Excel...keeps on keeping on !!!
Amazing and very useful functions in excel. Thank you so much for sharing such function. Thank you
You are welcome! I'm glad you share the joy :)
Someone asked about the LAMBDA function in a Facebook group on Excel. I was going to ask you about this function and lo and behold, a video about the Lambda function! Great video, BTW, and great explanations. I'll have to see it two or three times before I can use it but it's fantastic!
Glad you like it, Claire!
Powerful and very well explained!!
All videos are super and the srylenof sharing knowledge is making it easy to understand.
This is so awesome! Thank you so much!🙏
Very well explained 👏. Thank 😊
