I loved number 7, Centering Labels. I thought it would be less helpful, but in the end it does make it look nice. Surprised me a little.

[Chastonicity]

Loved them all. No matter how much experience one has in Excel, there is always so much to learn since we only learn enough to get our job done and miss out on other possibilities within excel, especially pivot tables. You are a great teacher.

I love tip 3 - the timeline functions and I would love to explore more similar illustrations! Thanks Leila, always love your video - adds value and work productivity.

I'd love to know more Pivot hacks --- particularly with complicated calculated fields, multi-pivots, etc 🎉

[Seftehandle]

7, 8, 9 are my top ones: custom sorting by writing in the cell, show values as - base item: previous Great job!

I love 3 & 9 Tips.Timeline Slicer, Easy %-Change Calculations in Pivot Tables.

[Mark.Rustin]

Hi Leila, my favorite is No 8: Custom Sorting Pivot Table Fields. 😉 Pivot table are so quick that i need to build up my confidence in trusting it ...that is... is it going what I want it to do... is it including all my data. etc.

[silversolver]

Great video Leila! #3 Timeline Slicer I didn't know and it could be very handy for ad hoc 'browsing' thru reports. Thanks :)

[JUDGEmoreDollars]

I prefer No. 9. As always your video very informative, clear and easy to grasp. 👍

[FrikkieMuller]

Thank you! I will also have to say no. 4 is my favorite. I had no idea you could do that.

[artistgirish]

Shrink fit in pivot table...I use to do it manually all these years..loved it..time saving..you are a saviour 🙌

[lisahochhauser]

All great tips. My favorite was the "type to sort". I'm always trying to drag items, and find it very cumbersome because it doesn't always move well. This is a much more exact method!

[stopthink]

Your voice is so calming and relaxing to listen too.

It's almost like a meditation video.

[piggybankaccountant]

I love that layout "Field list" that is more in a column rather than in a square. What I also like is the b utton "Defer Layout Update" so you dont mess your data next to your pivot table!!! Gr8 video thank you!!!

As someone that lives in Excel at work, I already knew most of these. That said, thank you for the last tip! The number of times I have had that explore data thing create another sheet is too much for me to want to admit haha 😂 It may just have driven me into the madhouse at one point.
