Auto refreshing pivots and query are so powerful when combined. I work with inventory valuations and I make one sheet specifically to import data, then another to query the import and a bunch of added columns with formulas that clean some data or do calculations. Then I run multiple pivots on the query to have different data sets. Then I can create multiple dashboards with dropdowns by querying the different pivots. Total game changer for repeat reports.
@peterslegers3901 2 жыл бұрын
at 13:10 Totals on the bottom of a table are a thing of the paper-era. We used to sum all the rows, and write the next figure down at the bottom. Nowadays it makes more sense to put the totals above the column names. That way you don't have to look all the way up to know what a number means, and you never have to scroll down a tab to know the summary in totals. When a table doesn't need a fancy presentation, you can double the rows of table headers, and put a summary of the larger table in between. Like in year totals - headers - monthly total rows - headers (fixated) - dayly rows.

While setting up "Data Validation" for Dropdown List, instead of selecting Range manually you can mention the "Named Range" (if you have any) in "Criteria Range Box". Eg. in the video at 1:35 in column B there are various positions mentioned...... we can create "Named Range" for that data and name it as "Positions". Now, whenever you need a "Dropdown List" of "Positions" you can just write "Positions" in "Criteria Range Box" and it will list down the data and moreover it is dynamic.

Great overview of the distinctive powers of Sheets. One other really powerful feature is the integration of Forms. This enables you to collect data into your spreadsheet without giving others access to view a sheet. It's a great way to create a data input endpoint that can be used as the form itself or as a collection endpoint for a web application. Including a web application that you build in Google Sheets. Yes! You can build a web app in Google Sheets. That's another powerful aspect. Apps Script is a lot like VBA in Excel. Modification of multiple files across the file system, making copies from templates, sending emails, etc.. All the stuff you can do with VBA if you have the wizard's touch. I find it's easier in Apps Script and a lot more fun! Since it's on the web and has features for capturing who visited the document and when, there are some great analytics for who viewed your sheet built right in. Add in the ability to subscribe to changes AND edit the document at the same time and it's a collaboration powerhouse. Cell history is another feature that I love. Saving your work as you go is really handy and having multiple ways to audit your document history is dynamite. Where it starts to wear a little thin is in performance with large datasets. For larger scale stuff, Excel packs the horsepower.

The only reason Google Sheet became useful was their ability to work in browser which Microsoft at the time did not allow but by the time they realised or gave attention, people had already started using Google Sheets. Google made it free while Microsoft could not. Saying Microsoft copies Google Sheets, is ignorant.

Awesome video! Thanks a lot, Leila. I have a question. What are your experiences with the calculation power of Sheet vs Excel? I have this huge file with over 25,000 records for my administration since 2012 and have linked it with filters, pivot tables, power queries (thanks to your excellent course on that topic), tons of formulas (some of them are array formulas), named ranges and what have you more. In Excel I have switched to "calculate manually" and in that way, I can work with this big file of 139MB. Since I understood that Sheets only loads what it needs for its calculations, and that Sheets has a lot of advances over Excel, I started to rebuild the file in Sheets. (Importing didn't work since not all formulas could be transformed, like the filter formula or xlookup formula; and I use them a lot). But unfortunately, after putting in a lot of time, I got stuck in a situation that Sheets isn't able to load or reload some of the sheets! So basically I can't open the file any longer. Do you have similar experiences with Sheets? What would you advise? Looking forward to your video of next week!

Sheets rocks indeed. As a university program manager, I ran almost everything using many of the tools you showed (and more custom functions written in javascript). From exam scheduling to running multiple choice tests using google forms, and running anonymous grading of student written works by multiple faculty, including emailing the results to the students: google sheets allows it all. Only difficulty is reading and understanding your formulas the next semester ... documenting formulas (and debugging errors) is quite impossible on spreadsheets.

I love Excel as an long time user, however, I have to be honest that the greatest advantage of Sheets over Excel is about future proof by being more online capable. Yes we've got Office online but Sheets uses a script language which is better the Office's. Moreover, Google's ecosystem is much broader and present on the internet, in other words, people are much more tied to Google services than Microsoft's .

For example, if you have a detail sheet total on monthly detail sheets in cell D10, and you want an annual "cover sheet" with the grand total also in cell D10, as you try to click on the detail sheets to "pick" the D10's on those sheets, Sheets covers D10 with a floating version of the cover sheet cell, so you can't just click on that cell on the detail sheets. Plenty of other awkward things that there may be easy fixes for, but that frustrate my use of Sheets.

I used Quattro Pro for WIndows in the 90's. It was more advanced than Excel and 1-2-3 which was still DOS based, but they eventually caught up, taking/stealing the functionalities of QP and incorporating them into their platforms.

Here is one thing you CAN NOT do in Sheets : Create a Table.
@AlThePal78 3 жыл бұрын
Technically, you don't need too. Did you see the fact it already acts like it is in a table by adding the information into the pivot table. Meaning it performs like excel tables without going the extra distance of making a table.

I think you could also look at the edge of the sheets over coding. Google Script is more lexically comfortable than VBA. For example. GS: "my_variable += 10" against VBA: "my_variable = my_variable + 10".

Lovely Video Leila! I have been delivering Excel Trainings to big corporates over two decades, and of course a big Fan of Excel. Never thought Google Sheets is so Powerful and can beat Excel with the great Features which you took us through in this Video. Now I think its time for me to venture google sheets and introduce this in all my new trainings... And Leila your videos are Super Awesome and whenever I face challenges to find some logic in Excel I first prefer your videos to find the solution... Great efforts... Keep it up!!!

Things I also love much more about Google Sheets: - You can change the Order of Columns and Rows by dragging and dropping them - Per Default Enter Key lets you edit the cell you are pointing to - Simpler Use of Checkboxes - More stable and 10 times more user friendliness Thank you for this great video!

Hi Leila, Once again I see a solution to one my very big problems in this video. Searchable Drop Down list is a bit difficult in Excel where it is built-in Google Sheets. I always wanted to maintain an inventory of articles that I use for my production and the list is pretty long and repetitive. I think now I can solve this problem with sheets. I will definitely update when I succeed. Thanks again for this wonderful video. Have a great day.

In a few months I became a Google Sheets expert, I created powerful databases and warehouse and invoice management systems. Now I can't do without it anymore. After 35 years of using Excel I almost have to abandon it
@johnfromireland7551 3 жыл бұрын
I wonder if that is the norm. That is, if someone starts using Google Sheets, for their work, do they have to abandon all the work and learning they did on Excel. What a waste of time and energy if they do.
@andreaguerri.educational 3 жыл бұрын
@@johnfromireland7551 I haven't found this waste, rather continuing to use Excel is a waste of time. To reach a destination, is it better to have a 500 even if an Abarth or a Ferrari? Try using simple data validation, remove duplicates, and blanks. Try to see if you use Excel in different operating systems, different versions. I spent hours solving problems that no longer exist in Google Sheets. Validate data in seconds thanks to filters, or merge data thanks to interactive queries ... I have created management software that could not be created with Excel. And then who tells you that what you have learned you do not use in Google? Thanks to the Google team who finally solved a lot of problems ... maybe Microsoft should seriously start doing things right.
