67yo I learned Excel (over the phone from my Rocket Scientist younger brother) so I could create spreadsheet templates for our sole proprietor trucking business. I saved us $90 a month 1996 - 2006.
Our tax accountant loved me.
This refresher taught me so much and I'm only several minutes into the lesson!
Glad I can pause, tske notes or jump back.
I'm subscribed!

So glad I found this video! You do a wonderful job explaining how things work, and also by demonstrating them on screen. You go at a good pace, not too fast or slow. I know I needed to get better at Excel, as it seems to be cropping up more and more with each job! Thanks so much!

Is there a LOVE button?? These tips save so much time! Thank you so much!

Thank you Leila for such a quick and simple way to start using Exel. I needed a refresher course after not using Exel for over a decade. Your easy instruction helped me re-learn the program very quickly, yet not so fast that I had to keep repeating it. Thank you so much! Jack

I always felt intimidated by Excel and whenever I watched videos explaining it to beginners, it seemed a bit difficult to understand.
You explained it very easily and made me feel excited to learn how to use it even more! Thank you so much!

The best tutorial for beginners I've seen. Quick and to the point !👍👍👍

[samscarcliff]

I've been looking for years for simple easy to understand training that doesn't move too fast or highlight too much that feels irrelevant for me, and this is a perfect intro. I really feel like I took this in well! I will be watching more of these videos this coming week to prepare for trying to apply to jobs that ask that I have intermediate excel familiarity on top of all the rest of my knowledge and skillset. I've been missing this for years and needing help for years. tried a few things but nothing has stuck. this could be so wonderful for me and I have to thank you so much for your content!

[prasannagunatillake]

I am not a beginner but I like to get back to basics from time to time. I also picked up some great shortcuts that I did not know about. Thanks for another great video, Thank you Leila!

[tammyobriant]

Bless you child. I’m 65 and used excel all through my years working. I am the membership secretary at my church. I had forgotten how to do some things but your video got me right back on track. Thank you so much!

I truly enjoyed this Beginners Excel course it helped me so much, Leila did an amazing job with explaining the basic functions and features of Excel; it's been sometime since I've engaged Excel and now that I'm due to return to the work force after retiring, I feel a lot less hesitant about working with Excel now.

[Ayeshaedrith]

You're amazing. I love how camply you speak. I picked up a lot of tips I had no idea existed.

[joshcurioso]

Out of all the tutorial that is available here in YT, your videos are the easiest to understand. I'm definitely learning and able to use it really well. Thank you for this.

[hamzahalhamadani]

Love the video Leila! Particularly like the part about adjusting the size of multiple columns at the same time, it's a function that is used on a daily basis!

[Zuzusptals]

I've taken excel classes twice. This was so comprehensive and easy to understand. Many thanks. So many of us need this info. It's hard to find an in person class but this was extremely helpful for online learning.

[dfsupport]

Awesome! I am not a beginner but I like to get back to basics from time to time. I also picked up some great shortcuts that I did not know about. Thanks for another great video, Leila!

[Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

You actually gave us a TON of basic info which is superbly helpful to start off.

I'm starting a new job today which requires some basics although they did say they will train me up on it if I need it but I felt I should go in with something.
I watched a previous tutorial video from one guy and although it was superb and went into more advanced elements later on I hit a roadblock which I just could not mentally get past.

This video REALLY put my mind at ease.

Thank you SOO much for sharing your knowledge with us Leila, you got a new subber : ]
