Creating these awesome charts in Excel is great! But, I often find they lose their luster when I transfer to Word, especially tables. How can we successfully transfer tables, especially large ones, from Excel to word without having to reformat them to better fit the page?
what about the snake called python
I mean the python langauge?
Dear Ms. Gharani,
Good day! I have a question. Is it possible in excel to view data using a drip down list, then edit that data?
Example is: Student A has a quiz score of 5 for his first quiz, 10 for his second quiz, then let's say i mistakenly entered 10 but actually it was 9.
I hope I said it correctly. English is not my first language.
Hoping for a video tutorial reply. Thank you!
Leila, I'm getting an error message when I try to download the workbook. Is it still available?
@@andrewbgray yes. It's still available.
Never thought I'd be mind-blown by an Excel tutorial, but this is what you just did. Kudos!
she does this with every tutorial I watched..
The pinnacle of professionalism and creativity ❤❤
30 years as of Feb 1 that I'm using Excel at work. Again, again and again you're bringing new ways of doing things in professional manner and with smart ideas. Stunning. 👍😎
These charts will wow the most critical viewers anywhere. Great tutorial with many tricks.
Blown-away with these Excel Skills! Amazing!
I never regret watching your videos. Every time I learn something practical!
I looked at those Economist charts when I was in school and it does look professional and elegant. Thanks for showing how its done. Long live Aptos Narrow , unrolling the shame brought by Calibri
This is one of the most impressive videos I've ever watched 🤯
So much content. Had no idea how powerful the array functions have become. Excel has experienced a real rebirth over the past few years.
@Leila Gharani - You blow my mind at least once with EVERY video. Thank you!
Words fail to capture the depth of my enthusiasm for this content. Thank you immensely.
Of course we watch your videos till the end Leila.... We learn so much from them.... Thank you for sharing this!
You are simply amazing. I've learnt so much from you and I still am. God bless you.
This is pure gold! thank you so much
Leila, you are so smart, so concise. You're awesome.
The pinnacle of professionalism and mentoring 👍🏻👏🏻
I've been looking for you my entire professional Excel-user life. This is the content and explanations that suit my learning perfectly. Thank you!
It’s really understated in college at every level how needed data visualization skills are across nearly all fields of work. I wish I learned more about excel tools in school and I’m working on my third graduate degree at this point with little to no excel skills taught outside of what I taught myself off TH-cam. And I’m in a STEM field.
Honestly! The Economist for me is the THE best on creating charts, communicating lots of information in a compact way.
I'm right now trying to change how we report end of q budgets and variances. This will come in handy.
I agree. I'm also a fan of McKinsey charts.
@@LeilaGharani I kindly suggest also checking out graphics from The Financial Times + Five Thirty Eight + Washington Post + Wall Street Journal + New York Times....
I will give it to McKinsey though.
@@yaxmokwa7612 Entirely possible. I don't read McKinsey's reports nearly as often as I read TE as a subscriber.
This is the best excel graph and chart tutorial so far. Thanks Ms Excel Professor 😊
the way you used Excel in this video completely changes the way i see Excel - it can do so much more.
Mind blown by 3rd chart lookup values ! Amazing
That’s amazing what you showed us, ways to work with Excel to get really good looking visuals! Sometimes you don’t know whether you do this in Excel, or you do this in PowerPoint and add objects, etc to make it look nicer, which is a lot manual! Thanks for sharing Leila
Thank you Leila, I m always excited to discover the way you trick Excel to get your goal.
I think I was one of the people who asked for this and as ever Leila smashes it! You make it look so easy, and your videos are a great way to learn!
It's always great to learn from @LeilaGharani Thankful!
I am screaming. Long time follower of this channel and long time subscriber of the economist.
I tried 2 of the 3 excel charts and they came out so beautiful. Thanks Leila.
Glad you like them!
Wow, you make it look so easy!
Leila - another GREAT video... but you make it look so easy, which means I will need to watch this like 50 times before I get it right! Thank you so much for posting this!
Thanks for tuning in!
You are such a great person ... true respects for you personally ..
truly mindblowing ... i hope one day i can transform this into my work as production controller.
This is mind blowing. Wow loved these templates. Thank you.
One of the best videos I have recently watched. I wanted to make a lollypop chart but could never do it. Thanks to your simple style of teaching I did it.
Your videos are incredible. Thank you!
This is terrific. I loved how you used xlookup instead of index and match. Thanks for this video.

Leilani I have to congratulate you. It's been a LOOONG while since I last learned something entirely new in Excel. Your dumbell chart was exactly that, and I'm able to implement it basically as is in my recurrent reporting on a monthly basis. Love it. Props to you for a professional video and have my like.
You're so welcome! Glad you found something new.
Great video! When you do it, it looks so simple and obvious, but I know it isn't when I try. I love the less is more charts.
Love it! This is one of my favorite ways to make horizontal dumbbells. One thing to mind is
If your series have points of switching - blue dots lower and vice versa - I’ve found if you point the difference column to both pos and neg error bars this does the trick! 🎉
Thanks for sharing your tip!
Amazing as always! I've been using mostly Power BI now for visualization; however, I still keep on checking your channel for new videos/tutorials so I have tricks up my sleeve I can use just in case. 😀 Thank you, Leila! ⭐

Very nice solution. Also easy to follow. Thanks for sharing.

It is brilliant video. Looking forward to your charts course :):):)
Thank you!
Thanks Leila
I liked the first bar chart but really wanted the category labels automatically/dynamically added if new row(s) were added.
My solution was similar to prior content from you, "Excel Clustered Column AND Stacked Combination Chart".
The basic idea is to add an additional invisible series that displays the Category labels.
Firstly, make the data a proper Table, then create the Bar Chart
Copy and Paste the data values a second time to the chart, so there are 4 'segments".
Set the original series on the secondary Axis, new series on the primary.
Update the (reverse) order for both Primary and Secondary vertical axes.
Set the secondary Series Overlap to -100% and Gap Width to 0%
Add a label to the series/bar that has been split.
Set the Label to show Category Name and position as Inside Base, also you turn off "Wrap text in shape".
Change the Fill to No Fill for the secondary axis bars.
Thats it, try adding a new row to the table. Hopefully, you'll see the bars and Category labels just add themselves.
thank you for you lovely and usefull videos.
Glad you like them!
