Excel for Beginners - Save, Save As & Saving Different File Types

[tiadenise]

I have been using Excel for over 15 years and I still consider myself a beginner. I recently left my job and am using this “in the meantime” period for professional development courses. Stumbling across your channel was the best professional development gift that I can give me self—a perfect start to 2022!



I just completed your intro course and can see how I’ve wasted a great deal of time. I am a research administrator/analyst and work with data. After watching these video, I can only imagine the amount of time I have wasted. I cannot wait to get to more advance courses on pivot tables, dashboards, etc., which I hope will help me to prepare detailed projections and comprehensive budgets. Obrigada!

I am not a beginner, but I am watching all beginners videos and I have learned features I did not know before, these videos are awesome.

Can you do a tutorial on what the different "save as" file names and when I should use one vs the other such as binary, csv, etc? I feel like my "not responding" issue may be related to not saving my excel file correctly. Thank you for explaining that the default is .xlxs

why i dont have the option to save the file as XLSX format?

when you save as you go along on a document, what is the indicator you have actually saved?

Hi Mynda. Thanks for the Save tips. Thumbs up!
PS - FYI, today the video defaulted to playing in 720p. So, all good now.

I hope you are still monitoring these comments. I use regular Excel not 365. I have a file that I need to open which last autosaved yesterday. Lost power briefly. Went to open it and am given an error that it cannot be restored. I really need this to open. How? Do I restore the system to yesterday? Thanks.

Its a nightmare, i lose all my invoices, i tried saving to desktop and save in OneDrive before i edit an invoice and it writes over it. I have to go into version history and search all over the place to find them,
Surely if i save an invoice and then rewrite over it and save it as a different name it should do exactly this?

If in a workbook we have 100 plus work sheet & we want to save as only one sheet, how we can save.

Hi! I am trying to save a new sheet and I’m getting the message”make sure you have access for this location, or select a different location”. Can someone help me save this document, please?

YES BUT WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT REASONS TO SAVE A SPREAD SHEET AS A DIFFERENT FILE TYPE???
