Leila, Microsoft should be paying you millions of dollars. You are always so on top of this stuff, and the way you present it, it's just instantly useful. You've single-handedly saved hundreds of hours of tedium in my office just because of one class of yours I took on Udemy.

Really impressive toolkit! After the possibility of catching any video or audio if you watch or hear it, and macros in the internet browsers, which do the same, but only for html, finally comes the next level of automatisation. Interactive and efficient!

I truly hope you will consider creating a Power Automate structured course. You are definitely my favorite teacher. Thank you, Leila!

[kelvinteoh]

Thank you Leila. You're truly a Godsent. I actually attended a class on RPA to learn this but those tools cost quite a pretty penny and most require some form of subscription. With power automate, it'll just be a one time investment of a sufficiently powerful computer. Based on what I've seen you do, it seems almost similar though this seems more intuitive. I was actually talking to my boss a couple of days ago about web scraping and how we could possibly use power query to do it but you just brought this up to the next level! Thanks again for this video.

This video is a LIFE SAVER. I've been trying to extract data manually from one of our internal systems where it is not stored nicely on the backend either. This just saved me HOURS of work. And that's just for this one task. Phenomenal!

[jackcurl]

As always, a clear explanation with enough demonstration of what you're doing. This is a very powerful tool! Thank you.

[alexkim]

Wow Leila. This is brilliant! Please share more as you learn. You're the MVP!!!!

[TickyMN]

Wow...this blows me away with the possibilities this offers. Thank you for introducing me to this and I look forward to more on this tool.

[ferrbarrios]

I've been using it for a few months now but never put the record feature to good use, I thought it just wasn't that reliable. Learning something new from you as always! (Awesome context by the way)

[orlandoneto]

This tutorial is easy to follow, informative, and direct. Thanks a lot for this!

[DeepakHarish]

Your videos help people alot. Even I power automate earlier and it's simple amazing. Better than many paid version RPA tools in the market. I simply love it.

[vantrillo]

I usually spend half an hour coding webscrapers using python's bs4, but work policies restricted download of extraneous programs. I came here looking for a tool to make quick webscrapers to extract data, but left with ideas to automate my daily mundane routines. Thank you for making this tutorial.

[kanidarck]

I love it. Thank you Leila, you are carrying my professional skills once again

[raquelocasio]

Thanks to you I just built my first successful webscraper! I followed your instructions exactly and it worked perfectly. Thank you for this tutorial!

[nonoobott]

This is so amazing and very useful. I really hope you'll make more videos on Power Automate. You're simply phenomenal Leila

[rluzius]

Are you kidding me?? I just find out about this after I retired 6 months ago!! This would have made my data analysis job so much easier.. Thank you Leila

[yamilandres]

Absolute beauty of a tool!
Thank you dear Leila for yet another super valuable video
Friendly greetings from Amsterdam ;-)

[quadcorevs]

this was actually where I was hoping for years. I believe this makes a world of difference

[andypuempel]

Very good introduction and great presentation. Good teachers make the complicated simple! Thanks for sharing.
