Your tutorials are great! I didn't quite understand what you were saying at the end of the "Nested Excel IF Formulas" section at around 7:50 ish when you were saying that Excel will "leave the formula" as soon as it recognizes a met condition?? I mean I think I understand what you meant but how would you have written out any of the formulas with multiple logical tests where, as you were writing it, it recognized a met condition before you finished writing it?
As a computer trainer for over 30 years, I'd have to say you are by far the best online video tutorial creator that's on RU-vid. Every single one of your videos is very clear and easy to understand and the fact that you provide the files for people to use/practice with makes your videos truly exceptional. Thank you!
Thank you Leila, I have watched other people's Excel Video's but tend to get lost in the technical jargon, however, since I found your video's, I am soaring ahead due to your no nonsense, easy to learn approach to each and every part of the exercise, and they guarantee success every time. I won't watch anyone else's video's anymore because your video lectures are easily miles ahead of the field and as a consequence I have now subscribed and will recommend you to all my family and friends.
As an instructor myself, I appreciate your skills. This video and the several others I have watched cover the material efficiently, without breaking the material down to a painfully basic level. There is no magic amount of detail for every audience as their diverse skill set is the uncontrollable variable, but you are nailing it for my needs. Thank you, and keep them coming!
Wow, girl, you are very good. Thank you very much. You explained it very well. You remind me of my maths tutor who taught me maths so well that I passed with an A+ even though I used to suck so badly at maths in the past. Keep the good work, please. The world needs great teachers like you.
Hi Leila Your explanations and exolaining technique is brilliant. A real nice work. Keep up the fabulous job. It is really helpful for so many users like me. Thanks again for the brilliant explanation.
After searching for an hour how to use "if" multiple times: you are the only one come up with this most accurate and proper formula. Thank you so much Leila from the bottom of my heart for this well prepared tutorial.
You present information in a polished but not over-produced way. It's less like teaching ideas and concepts and more like a confident professional passing on information to peers conversationally. You have a great combination of skills and attributes that allows the viewer engage almost like you are speaking with them personally. I'm subscribed, thank you.
By far the best and correct tutorial, I have did excel 11 years ago but forgot a lot and many videos ppl use to feed their ego and showing ppl incorrect ways to do it and this is how I remember. Being taught at Tafe. Full formula no shortcuts no fancy ways of explaining. Perfect and to the point. Calm voice, clear instructions and best of clear voice and at perfect tempo. Any faster talk and you could miss half the talk. Awesome
Excel is one of those programs where most people have a basic knowledge, and most people just assume you know how to use, I had a coworker who had a background in Accounting, and she could run laps around me in Excel and I was just scratching my head and asking "could you do it one more time, but slower?" having Leila explain it makes it so much easier to learn. I wish there were more people like Leila who are willing to help out in Excel.
Thank you! After two days of googling and youtubing, you're the first person/video to make sense of nested IF forumulae. please post more of the more complicated nested IF/AND/OR, etc statements. you're a natural teacher.
You don't rush while explaining. That way concepts inside the minds of students sink very easily and not in a garbled manner. Your examples with each step explained so clearly further help students like is understand better. Thanks a lot.
You have helped me upskill!!! Thank you so very much for explaining concepts that I just couldn't get before your videos... you are much appreciated lady!!!
Besides learning how to correctly use conditional functions in formulas, I learned how to structure my table of requirements. Once I followed your table structure, the logic easily fell into place. Thank you and may God's face shine on you...
This lady is phenomenal, fantastic at explaining everything in detail. I am super happy and excited about taking all these courses. Thank you so much Leila, you are fantastic !!
I just got my associates and working towards my cs bachelor's. I have been importing excel sheets into mysql because i was unaware you could use elif statements in excel. This saves so much time and makes it easier to cleanse and organize. Best randomly suggested video ive ever watched.
Assume that you have the value in cell B17 and you insert this function in C17 cell =IF(B171000,B17=25000,B1739000,30%)))) This function will do what you have requested
OMG If it wasn't for this video I don't think that I would have ever figured out how to configure multiple IF functions using greater and less than symbols! I searched for several examples and this was by far the best one. It was easy to follow and understand! I am definetly a subscriber now!
Leila, your videos are so clear and present amazing Excel capabilities that I haven't met in my 20 years with Excel. I've not yet finished this video, but I'm wondering why you didn't give C2 a name instead of referencing it as $C$2. I like names because they make formulas easier to read when I come back later and wonder what I was doing - such as "If (YTDRevenue > etc. Probably you discuss names in other videos that I haven't yet watched.
I am a senior Excel user transferred from Lotus 1-2-3 for over 30 years, now a retiree. Nested IF was my headache to write a lengthy and complex formula. It’s very hard to debug or modify when the conditions changed. Hence, I used an alternative way to solve this headache. I split the nested if into one to one comparison if formula. If the comparison is true, then give 1 at the same row right to the raw data matrix, else give 0. Therefore, I will get several 1s or 0s in the computing cells. Then, multiply or add the results in the computing cells, AND is equivalent to “multiply” and OR is equivalent to “add”. This will simplify the Nested IF formula and make it easier to be maintained.
Mme Leila Gharani ... I like and try to follow all of your videos. If I have any problem on how to use the functions of Excel, I directly looking for your videos.. Thank you with all my heart. You are the best with all my respect for the other professors.
I love how you’re conveying your information in a mathematical way , which helps in grasping not just memorizing, i rarely comment in youtube but i have to this time !
You explaining method is too good, I have through lots of channel but your way of explaining is too simple and impactful. From today u are my Excel GURU
I'm tired as hell, I know everything you showed in this video as I have used the "If" function extensively, and I still got to watch it to the end with all the attention I could manage to gather. Thank you Leila. Stay safe.
This is my first video looking up how to use the if/or function, your examples are great and the explanations are very clear. Thanks for delivering such a clear instructions, you got another subscriber.
so glad that I've found this. I doing a workbook on Body Mass Index of a population (1,800+ people) with multiple factors aside from Age, Height, and Weight, such as Age Groups, Waist and wrist circumference, and Body Frame values.
Thank you so much Leila for this video. I have been working on something that was disturbing me as it involved a nine scale Risk Rating. With this video I have been able to pull it off. Thank you so much.
You are WONDERFUL!!!!! Everything in your videos are perfect. Your voice, words you choose, speed, explanations, visuals, demeanor, just everything! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, I really appreciate you!
Great videos. For the third example ( 7:12 ), an alternate slightly simpler method that doesn't require the AND is this: =IF(B9>=$E$3,”Exceptional”,IF(B9>$E$2,”Good”,B9)) instead of: =IF(AND(B9>$E$2,B9=$E$3,”Exceptional”,B9)) This also works well when there are many ranges (e.g., stratifications with many buckets) since you can just continue to daisy chain the IF statements.
Thank you very much, Leila! I'm using the compound logic function for phone numbers in my P.O. spreadsheet. Depending on the supplier entered, their phone number appears in the corresponding cell! It's a game changer!
I've watched several tutorials on Excel by other instructors. In my opinion, you are by far the best! Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a clear and understandable way.
you are awesome explanation, i like your way when you speech slow and concentration. I believe that you want your audience to learn and that very rarer in RU-vid.
Thank you Leila! This is a good lecture. If you can provide the excel exercise with headings only, we can practice simultaneously with your video. It will speed up our learning. A miracle will happen.
Nice explanation. Instead of using OR for the logical test of the +- 10% Threshold (10:40) you can work with absolute numbers: =IF(ABS(B23/C23-1)>10%...
My teacher sent this since we are in quarantine and it is the best thing he did because this is perhaps one of the greatest if not the greatest excel tutorial a human created. You got a sub and a like👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😉😉😊😊
VERY well done. In my county, Durham, NC, on RV's there is an annual Property Tax applied to the appraised value. It is basically 3% but not more than $2,000. Figured out how to build a cell to calculate with your video help. Thanks! (We also have a flat 3% "Highway Use Fee" applied in the year of purchase only. No "sales tax" but they get you with Property Tax as time goes on.
