Thank you for teaching the basic fundamentals for beginners

[lindakorthanke]

Thanks for sharing. I’m missing out on so much time I could be saving by relearning how to do this. A great simple breakdown you have presented into using spreadsheets. I’m going to find this very useful! Thanks Again!

[sabrinafarber]

I've been learning so much from you. I don't normally like to listen to people on YouTube but you are smart, engaging and speak well with out a lot of 'ums' and 'like'. Many thanks!!

My brother taught me about spreadsheets on a Commodore 64 back in 1984. He used to do the Buffalo, NY budget on one back then. When you wanted to calculate, you had to press the calculate button. While that was working, you could go make a cup of coffee and drink it.
I use Google Sheets mainly for financial calculations. I have an investment sheet, a spending sheet, and one for taxable dividends and other distributions.

Steve....The great tech man, you did a great job. You did a great explanation and the example you brought made it easier to digest. I will search to find out if you also have more advanced version of the GOOGLE SHEET. again

Thank you for sharing. You make it look simple and fun. On my way in learning more about google sheets via your tutorials. Much appreciate it.

You remind me of my days in Saudi Arabia in 1986 when I learnt now defunct Lotus 1-2-3 (Excel killed it!) and WordPerfect (MS Word killed it!) from an American tutor. Thanks. HC Arora Ghaziabad UP India

Love the "Chapter" format at the bottom of 'Show More'. I have assigned this video a spot on my main screen speed dial. Lots of things I forget how to do, and this is a perfect go-to. Especially like the instruction on Calculations and Sums & Functions. ( from an American who went to grad school at UBC in beautiful Vancouver many years ago)

[jackcollazo]

I don't use Excel but this video just made me want to use it for something. Very informative, Steve, thank you!

[johnmerenda]

[shareofmoney]

Great tutorial and well done. Thank you for sharing this information. It was very helpful and I'm glad I came across the video.

[loneapple]

I found your channel by accident. Great video and looking forward to more of these instructional vifeos.

[trainz]

Thank you I haven't used a spreadsheet for awhile was trying to find out how to use a date range based upon every Saturday for the year, ended up typing each month what a pain. Couple of seconds in you showed me

[joeweatlu]

Thanks. Really appreciate your clearly explained tutorials.

[kdjobo]

Wow!!! Thanks a million for this eye opening tip!!! This video is very instructional indeed!!

[levishemtov]

Thanks for this video. Would you be able to show what's the best way to use Google sheets for managing an event down to the details?
Thanks.

[marcusniemanjohnson]

Wow, you really are experienced and have wisdom about what you are talking about, like you are not just simply providing high quality content or value and having us to accept it but you really showcase the importance in it and really share your experience with us and wisdom and truly help us grow and learn from the value provided, instead of just simply informing us, like you really do more, than that, with a lot of tutorials that I follow through with i am often left feeling clueless at what to do after, and be thinking I am really stupid or something after because I don't know exactly what is best to do with the knowledge gained. I know you are supposed to get what you put in, but to put it simply you are a great teacher, i am confident that I will actually learn and grow from following your lead, because you really meeting me where I am at, "a beginner" and helping see things as you do. I wish more content creators on YouTube were more like you.

[ZazuYou]

Excellent information!! I've subscribed to your channel. I'm a retired IT guy with 40 years of technology experience. I do enjoy your content!! Cheers!!

[bonnierende]

Thank you for what you do and how you present it.

[abebawgetu]

Thanks a lot dear, I got a lot of tips and insight!
