Join text in Excel, without CONCATENATE
Often you want to join together text in cells together in Excel or join it to custom text. In this video I show you various ways to acheive it including adding text, adding text to numbers/dates or using a SUM like function to create a comma delimited list in a single cell, and then a SUMIFS version and how to ignore duplicates.

Budget vs actuals chart in Excel with variance
Просмотров 50721 день назад
There is no built-in chart for budget vs actuals in Excel, but the need is so very obvious. With these hacks you can make it happen by creating a combo chart, making the line be no line and just markers then adding data labels of the variance by each budget amount. I also show how to make any chart auto expand in Excel using Format as Table. You can download the example files here: www.xlconsul...
Structured tables for Google Sheets
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.Месяц назад
Google Sheets' Tables make data far more structured and more like database type data. You can assign data types to each column, use structured references on entire column, they automatically expand with formulas, data validation and more. Change your data inputs into Tables and Google Sheets will work much better. Create better tables in Google Sheets: ruclips.net/video/UQG54xTTPZ8/видео.html A...
REGEX in Excel and Google Sheets to fix messy text

Reference a cell in Power Query for Excel or a parameter for Power BI
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 месяца назад
It can be useful when building queries with Power Query for Excel or Power BI to reference a value changeable by the user. Parameters are made for this, and work nicely in Power BI but less well in Excel where you would typically want users to edit a value in a cell. In this video I show both methods and when you might want use a certain one. I look at filtering, a data source on one's local co...

Very Confusing , Cant follow. Audio not very clear
Hello. Thanks for the video. Now is there a way to retrieve the data using the table name with App Script?
Very usefull information, thank you for this video!
Hey, thank you much.
what about syncing a single cell sheet to another file?
Structured tables are awesome, thanks for sharing!
Hi! Very good video! However, not exactly matching my need. I have 1000s of rows already matched on a customer number level. I now want a similarity score for address in system A vs. address in system B. Do you know if there are similar functions to do something like this? I could transform the rows to columns but that would try to match every single value to all, also to those not from the same customer.
Brilliant. I love this as this was the easiest way of using cell value as parameter
Interesting options. Thank you for share
Glad you like it! Thanks 😃
Excellent explanation and solution that make the pivota error puzzle clear and easy to understand 👍👍
Yes you’re so right, it took me years where I didn’t understand why it broke my query all the time so as soon as I learned why I made this video 😃
0:24- using "Percent of Total", Power BI's UI way 1:05- Calculate the denominator first (the hard part) (measure). CALCULATE([Years on Throne]),ALL('English Monarchs')) 2:20- Numerator divided by Denominator. DIVIDE([Years on Throne],CALCULATE([Years on Throne]),ALL('English Monarchs')))*100 3:40- another way that will work with filters better. DIVIDE([Years on Throne],CALCULATE([Years on Throne],ALLSELECTED('English Monarchs'))
Thanks for the measures! Very helpful! Pinning your comment 😃
Great video. Just enough demonstration to make your points without getting bogged down.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you appreciate my style!
hi! i couldn't see where you copied and pasted the unique values in the calendar. it's cut off
I’m sorry, where in the video is the issue? I can see if I can figure out.
This is the best practical use explanation about joining text in Excel. Thanks.
Wow that’s really kind! Thanks for the feedback!
Great video! Thanks for it. I have tried doing the heatmap but every time I put annot=True the result is only seen on the first row of the correlation matrix. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.
That’s odd, I’m not sure sorry, best to type it in a forum with all of your code then an expert will hopefully come help you
what do I do if there are multiple shows on one date? How do I ensure all the output shows?
Hi. Thanks for the question! It requires textjoin, I cover that right at the end of the video from 14:40 onwards
@@learnspreadsheets Thank you! it works perfectly! Any tips on how to color one word in the cell as opposed to the entire cell?
This video is about excel but it's in the google sheets playlist.. Just letting you know :)
Ah… thanks for the feedback, I’ll have a look. The same function works in google sheets too

Thanks so much! Glad it helped for you
With this video i was ale to do things that not even my teacher does not know and I use it as a macro so I have a shortcut to another project. Thanks.
Hahaha! That’s so cool 😃 glad you learned some tricks to stand out!
Literally the most helpful video!! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
I am current with all updates. I have BOTH Windows 10 and11. But on either computer, I don't have the options in collection like you do. Is there something that needs to be turned on? I would like to combine individual collections into a group. IE TRAVEL Sub collection, Germany, Poland, Iceland etc. Is there a way to do this? Also, When I am in the MAIN COLLECTION LIST I cannot "click and drag" a collection up or down. At one time I could do this before a GREAT MS UPDATE. Is there a way to alphabetize the collection tabs? Thank you
Hi it’s an edge feature, not windows, maybe update that. I don’t think you need to turn anything on no
I do this stuff all the time and I STILL learned something from this!
Thanks Patrick! Glad you got some new tricks 🙃
If is possible that you guide from the crash. How did you get to the first page ?
Thanks for the comment but I don’t understand sorry
Great video -
Glad you enjoyed it!!!!
First cell and linking works but after I try to connect another sheet right below the cell that is working, the sheet that is working fails and it says. "Array result was not expanded because it would overwrite data"
That message comes up when you have existing data in cells below or to the right, and the cell range you are asking for will overwrite that. e.g. You have data in cell B6 and you want to bring in data into cell B1 but the data you want to bring in is over 6 rows high. Try in a blank worksheet and you won't get that issue
Hm.. I found the easiest option which works is I leave one blank row between each importrange and the error doesn’t occur.
About time. One of my top requests, after better named range management.
Absolutely, such a game changer!
What are the apps on your taskbar?
Lol, OneNote, Snaggit, Canva, Telegram, Magnifier, Zoom, Teams, Power BI, MS Office Apps
@@learnspreadsheets Thanks for the reply! :D Apps pinned on someone's taskbar have more than once been a great way to find really good apps/tools. It was Snaggit and Canva that got my attention. Do you find Canva docs better than MS Word?
is this already rolled out or is it still under BETA environment?
It’s not in Beta but it’s being gradually released, & Google has said everyone should have it by late June. More info here: workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2024/05/tables-in-google-sheets.html?m=1
About time!!! Does this have structured references like Excel tables have?
Okay, asked without finishing the video 😂
Partially, they apply to whole columns, not to cells in the same row or headers though
I want to use Copilot but it’s only on the horrible new Outlook. Absolute garbage!
I feel your pain! I’m in the same boat. I still won’t switch though!
Great video, Can I use the same formulas if I changed out the date (day) filter to a month-year filter?
I think you should be able to as long as you have a proper date table
Why we are using Take function for selecting the 1st row? If I just use Vstack with 1st row only , that should work! Please, explain
Im just explaining the different options available, and using structured references in certain cases
can you please re-type this whole functions combination, without Take function for me? its a humble request , kindly use formula combination till 04:05 (till choosecol)
Thanks for the help !
A brand new feature just came to sheets which is very relevant to this, I’ll release a video on Tables in Sheets this week! Look out for it 😃
Have a question.... how do you set a table that if the cell header (Month Name) is past and the cell value in the columns below is 0 than Highlight using Conditional formatting?
The formula needs to make it a full date using the date function then say =if and (today() > header date,same cell >0), but if you want to know character by character the right formula, try chat gpt or copilot
How do you get it to also copy the formatting from the master spreadsheet to the other spreadsheet?
Sadly formatting cannot come through with a formula sorry
If I add an appointment to my outlook calendar with it automatically update in excel?
Hi thanks for the question. Almost automatic, you just have to click refresh all on excels data tab when you want it refreshed
I have seen some other solutions, but your was great. I subscribed your channel now. ❤
That’s so nice to read! Yes when I took the time to learn the process combining ideas I made this video so whenever I need to remember it I go back to the video 😃
excellent- a superbly done explanation - thanks very much aand all the best
That’s so kind! Thanks for saying it 😃
You say that with the FILTER function you're limited to the order of the columns in the tablw, but that is wrong. Other than that, good video
Thanks for the feedback, I probably didn’t explain it well - sorry, the FILTER function returns the same columns you selected originally. If you want certain columns to be hidden or reordered you need to add CHOOSECOLS or INDEX or another function with it
Finally a great explanation about what a pivot table does in Google Sheets! I'm subscribing because I want to know more about how to use Google Sheets as I'm trying to move away from Excel.
Thankssss! I’m glad you found that video useful 😃 I don’t blame you, sheets is awesome! Especially with the new Table feature being released next month, I’ll make a video when it is, it’s gonna be game changing!
I have a ques In Current Value option which link is Copied ?? can anyone help me please !

Hi, wanna ask if from 2 different GS and want to link it to each other, e.g GS file A link to GS B. If there is additional data add from time to time, how to ensure GS B will auto added as well? pls help
Good question. Use my example but just give it some extra blank rows & columns in the cell reference mentioned so that it automatically grows. Eg file B has a link to range A1:H500 in file A. Today we only have data in cells A1 to F200 in file A, but because we made the link to the range A1:H500, when new rows or columns are added then the data will automatically populate in File B
The one thing missing from every single youtuber is that Pivotby causes workbooks to CRASH. It works on the small demo files on these channels but not much more. The only honest assessment was on ExcelIsFun where MGI admitted that it does and it was a known problem. Thank you Mike Girvin for honesty.
this is exactly what im looking for. thanks
Glad you like it!
For years, VLOOKUP was considered the best solution, but now we're being told it's not adequate. I'm sorry, but I don't agree with this assessment.
I understand where you're coming from, but VLOOKUP was always flawed (cannot look back, breaks if columns are moved around etc.) which was why for decades, people were using the horribly complicated INDEX MATCH combination to make it more robust. XLOOKUP (which is also easier to use than VLOOKUP) is an improvement, and the other aspects I show can do other things VLOOKUP can't are also useful in certain cases.
Holy crap!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! Love this!!!!!
Haha love this comment! Glad it helped
Hi David, this is basically exactly what I am looking for. Its great! However I have a question. Say for example you have improv on a Tuesday & a Wed right next to each other. Is there any way to get it to say improv only once across the two cells automatically , rather than improv, improv ?
Hi Im glad its useful for you, actually no... The process you ask for requires merged cells which are not supported in Power Query or Excel Tables that this outputs as, you could manually copy/paste and then merge cells as you like but that makes it less efficient. PS. I love improv, my team meets up once per week here in Cambodia!
I'm pretty new with sheets but was tasked to make a dashboard, and man, I was banging my head against the wall because I could NOT figure out why my slicers weren't affecting the chart, THANK YOU!!
Aww wow thanks for the kind words, glad it helped and the slicers work now!
Thanks! I really appreciate you showing PowerPivot usage. I am finding that tool very useful.
