      So happy to help. Funny thing is that when I was a laundry boy at age 15 (first real job), they gave me the name Magic Mike because I organized and color coded all the completed laundry lol, BUT: then at age 49, the coach on my bicycle racing team gave me the name Magic Mike because I was so cheerful and helpful to all the teammates. And now here is the third time I have been given this name becasue I make magic with Excel lol*100

      I 100% agree. In the last year I have considered closing excelisfun channel because it is so discouraging. The only conclusion that I can come to is that there is not much demand for the videos I post - especially since I see other Excel RUclipsrs with more views and Thumbs Ups on some videos. To me I interpret it to mean that what I make, what I do in the video, and the presentation is not valued.

    • @excelisfun

      The function came out after the perpetual version of Office 2016 did. It will be in Office 2019 but why buy that when you get new stuff all the time with an Office 365 subscription? Microsoft is definitely not being greedy with this function. They've made it available in Excel Online, Excel for iPhone, Excel for Android, etc. which are all free.
