    Morning light has yet to arrive, but with a mug of hot black coffee (and pound cake), I stare intently at the monitor and try to hang on every word ... repeatedly hitting the back arrow key to repeat what Prof Leila just mentioned ... with Pivot Table ideas popping in my head like flashbulbs. I will run out of coffee long before I will fully digest all suggestions presented in this terrific video ( ... ANOTHER terrific video ... but no surprise).
    I'm a long way from Pivot Table mastery (still need master the 'basics') but always look forward to the lessons taught in Prof Leila's class ... 😍😍😍 ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you.

    Another amazing video, Leila! I found myself doing Excel pivot table work the same way year after year and always acquiescing to the few moments of added formatting work. Changing the defaults will make a nice difference! Thank you for so expertly explaining it!! I also love how you incorporate your sense of humor and fun into them, like the use of the BB character names and clip, and how you creatively and gently invite people to like and subscribe to your channel, e.g. the text pop-up in this one.
    I'm curious if you, or anyone of your followers can help. About the Report Filter Pages, once created, what's the most efficient way to copy or export each resulting tab (and the individual's underlying data) to new Excel files (not PDF) so they can be sent to the individual reps, without access to the other reps data?

    Many people still underestimate excel, as if excel only has standard formula features. In fact, excel is now very good and capable of doing various things. Not only pivot tables, but excel even has a strong connection with power query which is also very strong in helping you process data. Sometimes people who underestimate excel may not know the new excel features and think it is still like excel 2003/2007.

    Thank you, Leila. Even though I’ve been using Pivot Tables for over 10 years, I still find something new to learn from you. I have a question that’s been a headache for me in Pivot Tables: I have to apply number formatting to each column separately. Is there a way to format the entire table in one move or set it as a default? Thanks in advance.

    • @LeilaGharani
      @LeilaGharani  2 месяца назад

      Hmm, you can predefine formatting for measures in Power Pivot. But even then you have to apply it for every measure separately. There is no option to do it for the entire table.

    The last tip is something I should try...
    For two years I got used to using functions that literally made pivot tables redundant. (Except for cases where I needed a refresh to be manual and not automatic, or controlled by a controller) Then I started working in a new place and with Office 16, I don't have any of these functions, and I'm rediscovering the pivots...
    Bottom line?
    I learned during this time how important it is to get to know as many features and functions as possible. Suddenly I found out what the hell a function like "address" for example is needed for...😂
