Kevin, your videos are the best out there! Thank you so much for your insights and expertise! One request is using pivot tables to analyze survey data. I know the general principles are the same, but I'd be interested in seeing how you organize and group survey data to get the most intuitive reports and visualizations. Again, thank you!

Great video, I learned a few new pivot table tricks. For future vids, can you please include the version of the MS app you are using? The Excel version I am using does not have the Analyze Data button on the Home tab of the ribbon. Thank you!
