I used Excel years ago. And now after about 20 years I am using it again. One thing I found to be very irritating is this version of Excel fights with me. I needed to insert about 200 columns in a spreadsheet I was working on. Excel would follow my commands for a while, then it would refuse to do it and was trying to tell me a faster way of doing it {I think}. And I had to fake it out and do some random thing and sneak back to insert the columns. This was a cat and mouse game. It was exhausting to have to fight with this software. In your examples you never show the software doing this. How do I stop it from doing this?
You're one of the best excel instructor, I have enrolled to your various courses, I am deeply thankful to you and your team for always bringing out the best for all of us... lots of love from me and from India🙏❤
Great video as usual. I always learn something from your videos. Thanks! One thing I just discovered: You can now enter a range, with out a surrounding function--that is, all by itself, (like =A4:B10) and it will act like all the other spillable functions, copying the range. Nothing earth-shaking about that, but you can also do things like: (A4:A10 + B4:B10), and Excel will do the operation for every cell in the range(s) and put the results into a new spilled range.
Hi Ken - Yes - this is the new calculation engine of Excel. Before you used to get an error or just one value because Excel couldn't "show" the other ones on the grid, but now because of the spill behavior, it can spill every cell below.
Thank you! Another great video. What I like in particular are your teaching skills, your pace and that you show us a practical example. And I could go on and on 😉: The time stamps, the hidden details and features you show us, your clear understandable English ( I´m not a native speaker) etc........
One thing I must say leila we can see the hard work you put into your videos you audio quality is clear, you always look great in your video, you cover every part of the topic when you make the video and the videos are available in highest quality. You are an real perfectionist 😄😄😇😊
This tutorials are pure gold. I don’t work with excel normally, but this is not only clear and informative but enjoyable . I am going to share it to the moon. Thanks again!
Well, I was happy too soon. Counting unique fields ( with MAX(SEQUENCE()) ) in a TABLE column doesn't work well when the column is filtered. It keeps counting the whole of the column in the table. I've been looking for a solution to calculate average cost per month, based on the number of months in the selection. Back to the drawing board :-)
what i actually learned from this video is the UNIQUE function :) This will be super helpful, because what i used to do is to copy the entire range of data to another new worksheet, and then use the remove duplicate function to leave me with unique value. This UNIQUE function going to make my process steps more efficient in the future. Thank you.
Thankyou Leila, your voice is very easy to listen to, although I have completed some excel courses years ago I know very little and I am enjoying playing with excel again in my retirement. I am using excel to automate the starting grids at our local speedway. I am sure that after watching a few more of your lessons I will be able to make a lot of improvements Thanks again Lindsay
Before watching videos I use to think I am good in Excel.. now I feel I have not even started . Thanks a lot for such new and amazing videos.. lots of love from India ...
you prolly dont care but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
Lol.. I never knew hash in excel, though excel is my primary platform and I see it million times at my work. Now I know!!! Loads of thanks to you...👍👍🙂
This is excellent work and thank you for it. I did have trouble following because I didn't know what a Spilled Range was at the start. Next time, you might want to stop and clarify before making points that require that understanding. You're an excellent speaker and the illustrations are marvelous - I subscribed right away.
Hi, I have just created a complete dynamic dashboard using MS FORMs and Excel. Thanks to your simple and structured videos. Looking forward to learn more. Please make a series of videos on power query
اسلوب التقدمة رائع و مبسط خالي من التعقيد ، اسلوب فريد ليس له مثيل تستحقين عليه الف نجمة ، شكرا ليلى على المشاركة ، كنت عونا متميزا لدخولنا لعالم الاكسل .
RUclips just introduced me to your channel. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. You do a great job at describing how this function works.
Thank you for this introduction! I love your teaching style. You do a great job of anticipating questions and answering them just as I think of them :)
Great video on the hash function. I was trying to find a way to get an auto expanding two-variable table where the 'x' and 'y' values of my data table were created by SEQUENCE function but didn't know the HASH operator existed until now.
Wow, thank you. I did not even know excel had multi-value returns. Its interesting that different programming languages added this over the years and now excel has it also... it just dumps multi-value returns to new columns and rows. Now I got to train my brain on how to use it. BTW, Excel is like another programming language itself to me.
@LeilaGharani, why Excel has not a key, like Microsof Word, to show special features like spill formula's cells. You push the "¶"(pilcrow symbol) and the cells with formulas and spilled formulas get some kind of formatation to show it easyer. Same as formated cells, for example blank formated cells and so on. I love using {} inside collumns of INDEX function to select which collumns to show from a spilled range and the orther to show them.
Definitely useful...I am just picking up on a lot of Excel functionalities lately...wanna step up my Excel game for the future (taken up your Udemy course on VBA, too😊)....BUT...that bonus tip...Leila....that's simply awesome...I am still in awe of how there are so many Excel tricks and tools that APPEAR so simple...but the time and effort they can save us...really really great! Thanks for this.👍🏻🙂
Yesterday i was trying to input the HASH in my formula, but got error, after seeing your video, it gives me an idea when and where to use it. Thanks a lot..
Hi Leila. Thanks for making this explanation easy and understandable but I'm stuck in the mud using the # in a formula referencing a spilled range. In my formula I'm getting an error. Let me explain below In cell A3 the formula is: =SORT(FILTER(VSTACK(January:December!B9:T1009),VSTACK(January:December!A9:A1009)""),{1,2},{1,1}) - (Learned this from your video) Formula in cell T3 to get the worksheet name from where the VSTACK function above got the data: =MID(CELL(“filename”, INDIRECT(“A3#”&ROW()-2)), FIND(“]”, CELL(“filename”, INDIRECT(“A3#”&ROW()-2)))+1, 256) After entering the formula in cell T3 I got an error highlighting “A3#” in the formula bar. I was told this could be a dynamic array or spill range bug or I cannot use the formula on a VSTACK result/formula. Excel 365 version: Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2311 Build 16.0.17029.20028) 64-bit
Congratz for your channel and all provided information! I love your tips and the clear way you explain everything! About this video, you had a base table and referenced it from a spill formula (UNIQUE). How can we transform the spilled result into another table to further manipulation? Thank you!
Leila - just when I think I am getting pretty good at Excel . . . BOOM ! You show me/us another thing that is very handy to know for us pretend Excel 'masters'. That was a good one. Thank you.
You won’t belieeeeeeve it!! The blue board thing?? I had it in my vlookup formulas yesterday!! My boss was checking my works remotely because I could not delete the formulas! She deletes the formulas as she write comments to the column next to it. She was confused thinking, “I don’t know what you’ve done in there! I mean, what is this blue board around it? “ 😂 I am learning vlookup for my supplier accounts reconciliation. I need to uplift my skills and it has not been easy. I literally googled “why my vlookup does not work” then i had lots of answer such as 5, 7, 10 reasons that my vlookup doesn’t work and so on! I didn’t even know I have to make sure my data is in a clean “writing” that excel understands! I now need to look into trim and other commands to help me to prepare the data. The problem is that I’m using data that I copied from pdf files (statements) and use OCR to do convert as I don’t have pdf full version. . Anyway! I’m so so pleased I’m subscribed to your channel ! You help me to be a bit of a smart ass! 🤪 Aw I wish!! 😂
Grab the file I used in the video from here 👉 pages.xelplus.com/hash-formula-file
I used Excel years ago.
And now after about 20 years
I am using it again.
One thing I found to be very irritating is this version of
Excel fights with me.
I needed to insert about 200
columns in a spreadsheet
I was working on.
Excel would follow my commands for a while, then it would refuse to do it and was trying to tell me a faster way of doing it {I think}.
And I had to fake it out and do some random thing and sneak back to insert the columns.
This was a cat and mouse game.
It was exhausting to have
to fight with this software.
In your examples you never
show the software doing this.
How do I stop it from doing this?
I am considered an expert at work, but this teacher shows me that I don't know anything about XL.
Yes, same here but in addition this teacher makes me feel that I’m stupid.
Right!!
Same here without a doubt 😅
Whenever I watch her videos ,I feel like I have learnt nothing about excel.
Half of the stuff she talks about I can't use. Because i only have non-365 office.
You're one of the best excel instructor, I have enrolled to your various courses, I am deeply thankful to you and your team for always bringing out the best for all of us... lots of love from me and from India🙏❤
Wow, thank you!
My feelings are mutual!
Being a student who wants to up my Excel skills, your contents are pure gold! Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
Great video as usual. I always learn something from your videos. Thanks!

Hi Ken - Yes - this is the new calculation engine of Excel. Before you used to get an error or just one value because Excel couldn't "show" the other ones on the grid, but now because of the spill behavior, it can spill every cell below.
So its like matrix algebra!? 🤔 that opens a huge door to new possibilities
I am improving on Excel, thank you Leila, you are genius.
You got me when you showed the practical example. Thank you for the video!
Leila is a game changer with her special tips from Excel. Thank you
Glad you think so!
Thank you! Another great video. What I like in particular are your teaching skills, your pace and that you show us a practical example. And I could go on and on 😉: The time stamps, the hidden details and features you show us, your clear understandable English ( I´m not a native speaker) etc........

I thought I'm an Excel expert, but this is all new stuff - lambda, spills, etc. Thanks for helping me keep updated. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
This tutorials are pure gold. I don’t work with excel normally, but this is not only clear and informative but enjoyable . I am going to share it to the moon. Thanks again!
You're very welcome, James! I'm glad you like the tutorials.
This video solved a problem for me which I couldn't figure out myself after spending hours fighting Excel. Thank you!

Ditto for me. I have to do the remove duplicates function often and using unique will make things simpler.

This lady is the flippen no.1. Thanks for everything Leila
Leila’s videos are great! You can always learn something new, useful, and fun! I would recommend checking out her courses.
Fantastic, a subject I didn't know, now a new world has opened up in front of me. Really good.
This is excellent work and thank you for it. I did have trouble following because I didn't know what a Spilled Range was at the start. Next time, you might want to stop and clarify before making points that require that understanding. You're an excellent speaker and the illustrations are marvelous - I subscribed right away.
I'm brand new to this too - but found the explanation of spilled tables in this video adequately covered that.
TBH this channel is amazing, fantastic content and stunning speech.
Leila is always a pleasure to see your videos, they learn many new things.
Happy to hear that, Paolo!

You are so welcome!
Your videos are a tremendous help.
Your voice is awesome...very easy to understand..
Thank you!
You are the best teacher. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Very informative and useful information ... Thank You
The INDEX trick was for me very useful doing a XMATCH of my two spilled ranges
Glad it was helpful!
Always here in Africa#Uganda studying from your channel. Thanx our dear Leila
Wonderful! Greetings to Uganda!
I've been questioning this # for years. It's clear now. Awesome presentation, thanks!
Great video on the hash function.
I was trying to find a way to get an auto expanding two-variable table where the 'x' and 'y' values of my data table were created by SEQUENCE function but didn't know the HASH operator existed until now.
Well I didn't even know UNIQUE worked across multiple columns. Wow
Your videos are addictive.
It blew my mind. I want to use it all the time.
Great explanation. Thanks. I subscribed.
Wow, thank you. I did not even know excel had multi-value returns. Its interesting that different programming languages added this over the years and now excel has it also... it just dumps multi-value returns to new columns and rows.

Really You Made it Simple and Easy

What a clever and beautiful young woman! I'm impressed! I remember the first MS Excel, how far the thing has gone!
Hi Leila, I love your videos and recommend them to my team at work. Thank you for putting out this content!
Awesome! Thank you!
1:06 I would guess that you'd create a =OFFSET(A3:D18,0,0,16,4) to make a spilled range identical to the range you have.
Your way of explanation is the best in Arabic انت الاروع
not sure how hash in formula works , but hash in works helps a lot
thanks for valuable tutorial
this person is a monster!
(in the positive sense of the word)
Thank you so much for the valuable learnings!
My pleasure!
Great teacher.
Thank you for this excel-lent presentation.
This is so explicit. Now I understand better. Thanks for sharing
Then where was the parental advisory label? /s
I tried some hash once .. have to say i excelled in everything afterwards.
The way you explain which is quite interesting 👌
Audio, Video Quality is excellent!!!
Definitely useful...I am just picking up on a lot of Excel functionalities lately...wanna step up my Excel game for the future (taken up your Udemy course on VBA, too😊)....BUT...that bonus tip...Leila....that's simply awesome...I am still in awe of how there are so many Excel tricks and tools that APPEAR so simple...but the time and effort they can save us...really really great! Thanks for this.👍🏻🙂
Thanks for the video
I have subscribed your channel
Very helpful
I think this is the first time I learned something new in Excel in about 10 years.
Very Informative Video!
Best explanations.
Yesterday i was trying to input the HASH in my formula, but got error, after seeing your video, it gives me an idea when and where to use it. Thanks a lot..
Glad it helped!
today morning, I was thinking about when to use #sign in excel and RUclips auto-suggested me this video of yours… 😊 thanks Leila
I am from India, your explanation is awesome,
Wow, Everything is Good content and the way to present.
Really good teacher. Makes the subject matter really ready to understand. Unfortunately not using 365 yet & i doubt my company will be upgrading soon😊
Excellent tips
Hi Leila. Thanks for making this explanation easy and understandable but I'm stuck in the mud using the # in a formula referencing a spilled range. In my formula I'm getting an error. Let me explain below
In cell A3 the formula is:
=SORT(FILTER(VSTACK(January:December!B9:T1009),VSTACK(January:December!A9:A1009)""),{1,2},{1,1}) - (Learned this from your video)
Formula in cell T3 to get the worksheet name from where the VSTACK function above got the data:
=MID(CELL(“filename”, INDIRECT(“A3#”&ROW()-2)), FIND(“]”, CELL(“filename”, INDIRECT(“A3#”&ROW()-2)))+1, 256)
After entering the formula in cell T3 I got an error highlighting “A3#” in the formula bar.
I was told this could be a dynamic array or spill range bug or I cannot use the formula on a VSTACK result/formula.
Excel 365 version:
Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2311 Build 16.0.17029.20028) 64-bit
Excellent Leila, Each time you come with very unique lesson, keep it up
Your teaching skills are breathtaking, please do more Google Sheets videos :)
Well explained as usual, Thank you Leila!👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏾
I started using # in the dynamic data validations based on your suggestions in your previous video. It is really a cool function
Great to hear!
Congratz for your channel and all provided information! I love your tips and the clear way you explain everything! About this video, you had a base table and referenced it from a spill formula (UNIQUE). How can we transform the spilled result into another table to further manipulation? Thank you!
Very helpful. You're videos are always well done in content and instructional method.
Glad you think so, Marty!
Absolutely understandable
Wow! Very lucid explanation.
Hello Ms. Leila, you're great. Love to watch your videos, really helpful❤️
