      My MSOffice professor in college came in late every day in a Hawaiian shirt and spent most of the class making fun of people when they asked questions about the things he poorly explained

      I soooo agree. I was soo lost for so many subjects in my Beginner Spreadsheet class this summer. Thankfully I had an A in the class because of my homework being completed but I got a 68 on my final because I forgot just about everything I learned :( He is so easy to follow.

    I paused right after the Starbucks menu example just to say THANK YOU. For the 1st time ever i have a good grasp on what vlookup even is! This is a great way to teach.

    Recently my boss made the comment when trying to teach me vlookups "I'm not going to teach you everything about this" which left me paralyzed. He went through it so fast and not giving me any opportunity to try it myself. However, it is part of what he "expects" me to know to. At this point I was desperate for a tutor that knows how to teach.
    I looked up other on line tutorials, but this one in fact nailed it.
    Jon is a "teacher" not a person trying to RUclips a dollar and get subscriptions. Watch this and you to call never again fear the dreaded word.... VLOOKUP.
    Thank you Jon

    This was great! I was beating my head against my desk watching other videos trying to figure this out. The practice sheet really helped. Other RUclips teachers teach this as if the viewer knows what they are talking about. This is a great beginner's tutorial.

    I've never had to use a VLOOKUP ever for work in my career but one of the job positions I'm looking at wanted someone who was experienced in it. Thankfully I came across this video and it's so perfectly explained. Definitely loved the "Simple Definition" you referenced on the screen. 10/10 coaching + teaching!

    I really appreciate the existence of this channel. I really needed this! I have a new job offer that requires knowing this function in excel but I have never had to use this before. I used the usual Control F, but with this, I do not have to copy paste consistently. Awesome!

  • @sayedfaiztanvir4733
    @sayedfaiztanvir4733 4 года назад +11

    He explained extremely well. I am very impressed. Generally, after having entered Vlook up we get complex set of function in the bracket which confuses all of us. He explained it fantastically well, putting aside any doubt. I have to perform the formulae frequently in the office; hence, I was tensed since no one teaches it in the office. Fortunately, I chanced upon the most relevant video on Vlook up. May God bless you Jon!You are a great trainer!! Undoubtedly!!!

    This is great. I have so much work to do with combining and comparing different columns of info at work from different sources.

Very clear, simple and good context. Thanks, Jon.

    Hey Jon, Fantastic explanation. VLOOKUP is such a central part of my new role and I'd never come across it before. Colleagues who use it everyday explained it to me so many times and I was still like a rabbit in the headlights. Ran through the video a couple of times with the practice file and I've got it! I know I'll still access my notes for a while but can't thank you enough for your calmness and clarity.

    • @ExcelCampus
      @ExcelCampus  5 лет назад +2

      Thank you, Maurice. I'm happy to hear the video helped, and that you are able to use Vlookup more. It definitely takes practice, but after awhile you will definitely understand all the nuances. And teach others as well. Thanks again and have a nice day! 🙂

    Very glad I found this video! I've been using excel for 25+ years and as I'm looking at job opportunities I noticed several mentioning VLookups and Pivot Tables. I've never heard of them lol. Back in the day I actually took an excel course thru my local community college.
    Most of that knowledge I promptly forgot. Everything I've learned about Excel was learned thru using the Help feature (that's all you had in the early days lol). So since none of my jobs required this type of data organization (?) I never learned about these features.
    So I'll definitely be back to look at more videos ... When it's not 3am. Again, thanks for posting this and I hope my detailed comment helps you to market your video ;)
