The PROBLEMS with using the CTRL key to select cells around a merged cell: 1. You often don't realise/remember there's a merged cell nestled in the data you're selecting until it's too late. By then you've already tried to select the cells and then the merged cell gets in the way. A waste of time that could be avoided if the cells were formatted with 'center across selection'. 2. You can't use the keyboard to select cells either side of the merged cells, so it's no good for all those keyboard shortcut users. 3. Having to hold down the CTRL key to select non-contiguous cells is more time consuming than just applying the 'center across selection' format in the first place.

I was in a job I couldn't stand and asked to do a rotation in another department. Fell in love with the job during my rotation but the one skill was lacking was using excel. Ran across your videos and I love the way you break every skill down and explain the steps. My rotation was a three month only rotation but I noticed many people lacked proficient excel skill so I decided to teach myself. But thanks to the skills I was gaining my three month rotation turned into a year and at the end of the year I was offered a job because of what I was able to do. One week ago I was promoted into a job that requires a minimum of five years of experience to qualify for. It took me half that time and I have never loved a job the way I love this one. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and doing them in a way that's easy to follow.

This is one of those videos that remind me an Advanced Admin Class in Excell. I remember when I was stunned to find advanced features in one of the complex commands and asked: "Is this a new feature?". The instructor replied, "since 1997". Excel is such a huge boatload of functions and possibilities, it can be overwhelming and many don't use more than 1% of the functions anyhow. As a developer, it is always refreshing to see more and more usages for those features and functions. Thank you for the video. Loved it!

If you write or use any VBA in your workbooks, merged cells mess with the code there as well. Where I work, we had to ensure that everyone on our small team that modified any of our many workbooks (over 200) did so using Center Across Selection. When someone forgot, the reports for that day came to a grinding halt!

Tips #2 and #8 are part of normalization in databases. Mynda shows the proper normalization techniques in each case as if this were a database and not a spreadsheet. Bravo. There's nothing wrong with using Excel as a database, in spite of what some people will tell you. Especially if you have a low number of records and if you have issues with getting the know-how to create and use databases (such as in MS-Access) instead. Some people just don't have the time.

Hard disagree. Excel might be okay for small scale projects. Or as a way to write up your initial batch of data if the alternatives are lacking. But with bigger data, Excel gets inefficient real fast. Not to mention it is way too easy to mess things up. In many cases, Excel is a necessary evil as the managers don't wanna invest into better databases. But that is just incompetence; it doesn't make Excel suitable at all.

I have long known there was way more functionality than I knew how to use, so it is great to see some of those demonstrated with straightforward explanations. And, at least half of this video is of features I will be able to use, hopefully more effectively than my current workarounds. Subscribed, liked, and following.

Thanks for this - glad to see some of my personal fixations mentioned - especially Merge/Centre and External Links. For the automatic updating of rows included in a sum I find it simpler to set my SUMs up to include a blank row and to include that in the sum. e.g. if the data is in A1:A8 the the sum will be in A10 and it will be '=SUM(A1:A9)'. Then if I need to insert a row in the sum I just insert at A9 (not A10) and the sum updates automatically.

This video should be mandatory viewing for all accountants. Your point about data that is difficult to aggregate likely being in stored in the wrong shape is spot on. The amount of time I spend re-factoring other people's spreadsheets in Python into 1st normal form so that they can be pivoted! The same thing kind-of applies to merged cells - it's a giveaway sign your data is in the wrong shape. And how did I not know about ctrl-1 after all these years! Thank you!

Also, had a recent issue with external links but after modifying all formulas to use the current workbook, I still encountered this message when opening the workbook. After persevering with the issue for a few days, I opened the Named Manager to modify a reference and was relieved to find a number of external references hiding in there.

Great tips! I fully agree with table formatting (5:50) however, row- and column formatting are internally stored just like that - the (default) format for an entire row or column, and not as the formatting of a million cells for a single column. Still, it's adding formatting to unused cells which can be distracting and look sloppy, so it's good to avoid it where better alternatives are available.

I am very often preaching some of the very same things to colleagues. Now I will simply share this video. However OFFSET was new to me - I’ll watch the video dedicated to it! Thanks and have a great week!

I've been through quite a few comments and the biggest hit is the merged cell problem. I never new center across selection existed and the ;;; trick was also new to me. Good stuff.

100% Mynda! Absolutely! I sometimes wonder what life would be like if everyone followed these best practices. However, in some twisted way, I'm sure that it would mean that the 'Excel gurus' of the world would be less valued. Great content as always! 😊

Thank you. I learnt something by watching this. The Centre across selection got my attention straight away and the rest of the video kept it. Registration on your website returned a Wordpress error but the registration has been created successfully anyway.

Excel'lent (get it?) tutorial and presentation. I really liked the explanation about putting too much data in a single cell; I've spent a lot of time showing people the benefit (as you did) with keeping the data separated so that it can be better worked with. Keep up the good work. Oh, also, thank you for reminding me about the "center across selection" feature. I had completely forgotten about that one!!! :)

How is it possible that after decades of intensive advanced Excell usage, you still are able to learn me stuff that is really useful? Like the center across selection! How much more did I miss?! Great video, thanks.

Great stuff. The center across selection, rather than merge center, is very interesting. I am going to have to see about adding a quick button for that one, rather than doing a menu dive for it.
