I have always been fascinated by people who prefer to be outcasts rather than giving up their identity to obey rules they don't understand. I'm glad that some of them managed to bend those rules and make a living out of it by gathering communities of curious people around them.

Thank you guys! I very much appreciate your openess. It reminds me once again that one should be grateful for living a good life. After 20 years in paper making business I left the company more or less as an experienced Excel professional. Just like experiece you've made, colleagues asked me when they've got Excel issues. I agree to Leila's "no corporate" because of the same reasons she mentions. That limits me too much. I've learned so much from both of you and some other MVPs as well. Thank you so much for that.

Really inspiring video from you both, Leila and Oz! I usually watch RU-vid content on 2x speed and skip to specific parts. I watched this one step by step, pausing it many times, reflecting on life and sketching plans during an entire morning. I'm still thinking about the hamster wheel. Thank you so much!

This was a great interview Leila! I had the honor of meeting Oz and some other amazing people at a Think Data Summit in Birmingham, Alabama and it was such a great experience. Maybe one I will be able to meet you at the Global Excel Summit or some other get together just to be able to sit down and have a conversation with you or anyone that really uses Excel and so many of the features within the software is such a great experience because I believe we can all learn and grow together.

There is something amazing happening here. I came across your channel cause I was searching for some tiny Excelthing. I was usually not using it in my professional life, except making a list of stuff, basically no formula. This has changed since back then. I made this list be basically our tool to check on our income etc now, even with the ability to import into an other program to write the invoice, without copying or even typing any numbers twice anymore. Now this conversation was on another level. One that wasnt something Inever expected. Usually I watch talks between musicians, about their guitars, records, careers. And this was basically the same, but with Excel/Data experts. Who have a life, too. Who knew?😬 thx.🖖🏽🍀

Fantastic, fantastic really personable interview Leila and Oz.. you both have shown us real people who know what problem solving is all about... It's not magical and doesn't require maniacal managers... it simply requires honest people with a passion who care for others, the ability to listen and the ability to share.. And often though we want to help our organization, realistically it is not appreciated... 'It's not your job' is the common refrain... Sadly that has happened to many of us and the creativity we provide gets stymied .. both of you are an inspiration... Real people with empathy, warmth and a passion for your expertise and the ability to effortlessly teach the rest of us while you remain humble to your core... You are role models for the corporate and educational world of what they should be doing better... Places, sadly that don't always appreciate yours and their employees talents whom you so happily encourage with your wisdom, your wit and your warmth ... To help people to recognize and aspire to their own potential.. thank you for making us better at what we do either at work, in our hobbies or in life, simply because you make it real... Most importantly, thanks for being you... A genuine interview, from genuine people!

Wow, Oz - what an incredible story. What a journey and an amazing comeback! As an MVP, it's always great to have a chat on the MVP Call - I remember when you told me about your time in Poland (where I'm from) and how you mixed up the trains :D @LeilaGharani - you did an awesome job hosting the interview. Besides being the top Excel creator in the world, you've got a great knack for hosting. Surely, this isn't your first time in this role, right? :D

In new outlook, I can't find the trust center and add-ins in options(there is no options) ; I read we need to install them manually. In new outlook, I can't find office accounts, account settings, tools, and a lot of missing tools.Can you provide a video to solve these issues?

Sum based on colour, yes!

@kiyoshimatsutsuyu1931 3 месяца назад

I've got a custom function that SUMIFS things by *color* if you want it! 🎉 Mix that with conditional formatting and you can do some fun things with it!

@LeilaGharani 3 месяца назад

It's a VBA custom function, right?

@kiyoshimatsutsuyu1931 3 месяца назад

@@LeilaGharani Yes, though it's a bit fiddly; I usually try Frankensteining a SUMIFS() formula into something usable for conditional formatting so effectively am, say, summing all purple cells (custom functions can be fun, but I'll avoid VBA until I finish the last bit of your course 👍)

Why some functions such as sequence, filter, sort, unique and offset are not working displaying name error. Sometimes it works and sometimes not what the problem???pls help!!!!!!

@LeilaGharani 3 месяца назад

if you get the name error, you are either using them in Excel that has another language or in an Excel version that doesn't support these functions yet.
