i went to university and did not get my head around spreadsheet, today i beleive teaching is a talent not everyone can teach but this gentleman has figured it all out, after 15 years of not knowing how spreadsheet works i know understood the basics of spreadsheet under 10 mins ....what a pure talent thank you.

I've been using spreadsheets on computers since VisiCalc came out, but I still learned something from this video. I didn't know that the newer spreadsheets had the ability to copy a formula by dragging the cell into a range! Thank you, Chris.

BEST SPREADSHEET TUTORIAL SWEET JEBUS.

[Holgerdannsk]

Great teacher, a total newcomer to spreadsheets but this tutorial was reassuring and fairly easy to understand, ill probably watch it a few times to digest everything but well done the instructor.

Ahhhh, good subject! The first use of computers I can remember (back in my Basic Program Language days) was to create and use spread sheets. You can imagine how excited I was when Ami Pro came out and using Lotus 123! I think even more of a memory was creating when I made my first spread sheet in computer lab (where we were assigned time slots and usage caps). I somehow created a endless loop and walked away without signing out! I had to explain to my class instructor why I was out of time after just one assignment!? In those days, I feared I would never make it through college. I did and there is the story.

Thanks Chris for all you do!

What a beautiful way to teach. first time in life I can understand each and every step. I felt that way.

This the first time of the maybe 10 times l have had spreadsheets explained to me that l understand it, that was simply and easy to comprehend, thank you, l just subscribed!👍👍

[djbobski]

Thank you so much. My ‘teacher’ was never able to explain to me what a spreadsheet was nearly 20 years ago and I now really need that knowledge as I need to start using them. You’re a lifesaver and a great teacher. Thank you so much!

[CarlosSanchez-yhmr]

I just want to say thanks for your help, I been trying to figure it out for so long lol 😂 you just made my day.!!!

[TheChsenOne]

Thank you! Although I should know how to work with spreadsheets by now, I was too bored to start any tutorial. Now that you're making these videos I'll follow them as you upload them.

Going through one "teacher" after the next, I've come across some horror situations, tiny unreadable spreadsheets, rattling off explanations impossible to keep up with, sudden clicks doing commands without any explanation as to how, and on it goes! After all that.... YOU"RE THE BEST! Thank you!

[poomil]

Thank You!! well spoken and you never complained when I had to have you repeat what you said (3 times) till I got it right.

[DavidJones-weex]

I was asked to make a spreadsheet at work and I have never opened excell. Thank you for this, they expected it to take me all day to figure it out. Took me an hour. 😂 My hero.

[IshimweMutunzi]

Thank you so much 😭😭😭😭 this is a best course 😊

[tonyking]

Thanks for a very simple, clear and well explained tutorial. I've been using Open Office for years and didn't know how to apply a single calculation to a whole column. I was doing it the hard way, which allowed plenty of scope for errors to creep in. Now, thanks to you, I know. Well done!

Years ago, I taught CLAIT (before it moved to the "Euro IT Passport") to a specific market of Adults and got a 99%+ pass rate for my students.
Chris, I think you've knocked the spots totally off another well-known, expensive course provider for how you explain spreadsheets - both in terms of content and production quality.
Even though I know how to use the Office Suite, it's great to have a refresher. Not only do I look forward to more, but also to the image manipulation programs also.
Thanks for another episode - I wish you a fantastic week!

[sinisterangelsan]

Thank you!! I appreciate your teaching style, taking time to make these training videos for us. You made learning easy!!!

Thanks so much. I'm 70 yrs old and am trying to set up this for my craft work sales and expenses. Wish me luck on this spread sheet. I have been doing it the OLD way Pen and paper.
