Hi Mike.. the new series looks great. Your presentations are always engaging and entertaining and every one teaches me something new that I did not know before, no matter what the target skill level of the lesson. You really can't exercise your brain enough when it comes to data analysis and the tools to accomplish it. Looking forward with much anticipation to your new series and the lessons and tricks to be learned. As always.. thumbs up!
