    For a few years now, "Thursdays w/Leila" is calendar 'must-watch' appointment for me... it is the VERY first thing I do in the morning.
    But when I saw this mornings title, I disappointingly thought "... eh ... 🥱 ... probably not for me ..." and went on to deal with other pressing items. Once they were done, and because I am big fan, I half heartedly returned to watch today's video ... and within the FIRST minute found myself thinking " oh ... interesting ... I did not know that ... " ... and then repeated that same comment for the next 15 minutes.
    So ... I was wrong (again) to doubt Professor Leila ... mea culpa ... but I can make amends and with the recently expanded coverage, happily I do get to "see each other" more often ... which is a good thing ... a very good thing.

    ◘ And What-If analysis (Scenario manager+Goal Seek and data table)

    • @brianspiller9075

      I do not like the subtotals method. It modifies the data table and reduces flexibilty for other uses.
      I prefer to leave the data and build a Pivot Table providing the summary. The Pivot Table can be resorted, Filtered or changed in other ways to identify particular data points.

Just want to add one thing, "once the data is in Table Format, this subtotal function cannot be utilized. after applying the subtotals, the data can be converted to Table of if the data is in Table Format, convert the data into range first and then apply subtotal function.". stay blessed and please keep it up 🙂

Can you do a video about Excel versions -- what version you are currently using, what version is widely used, what version we should request our IT department consider upgrading to, etc. I realized I don't have Xlookup and I started wondering what else I can't do. What happens if a client sends along an xls with an Xlookup function that I can't read? Thanks

    You cover a lot and you do it very well.
    So it ‘small things, and not really fair to mention, but one option under ”Go to Special” that’s useful is Blanks, that is if you want to fill with the info in i.e. the cell above, all there is to do is typing an equal sign = and make reference to the cell above, and the list will complete without blanks. But be aware that there now are formulas in the range, and it might be best to turn them into constants.
    And in using the Pivot table, it can be useful to set a checkmark in the lower-left corner “Add this data to the Data Model” doing that you get the opportunity to Count distinct.

    Dear Lella,
    Thanks for this Informative videos and I already following you for long time. I would like you to make some videos on the following topics which will be more useful for our day to day meeting. I am working in a MNC company where I am dealing with multiple Excel files updated by various people and I need to integrate it to make a consolidated report. Currently I use copy paste the data into my master file but sometimes the file size is becoming 5 MB so I feel the performance is affected. I also use queries and connection but it is not effective. because somehow I need to have the common data in all the files. I can't use Access because my team is experienced on it. So I am expecting an excel like file which will be updated by multiple people in various locations but I need to capture the data for my consolidation.
    Further I use the namerange, subtotal with visible cells, sumproduct, and Indirect functions for currency conversion a lot since I need to calculate the overall total however the file is having more than 5,000 rows so the performance is affected. So could you please make some video on how to do it effectively will be very much useful.
    Thanks in Advance
