This is AWESOME! I've never seen this level of functionality!

Cube functions were an absolute game changer for me. Especially as you can connect them to slicers as well. It means you can get all the functionality of a pivot table without being forced to use a pivot table as you can't always format it the way you want. With cube functions, the flexibility is endless!

Perfect timing. I was just looking for these types of tips.
For anyone who wants to advance their Pivot Table Skills - this is the video presentation you need to watch.
Everything so well explained by Leila - as always...,

Cube function was the best. I have used it before, but creating one from OLAP was the best hint !!

romzen

as always amazing, thank you! If I can suggest it I would love to see a video on Power query errors: how to detect, prevent & fix them on your channel! I think it would be a great help to most of your subscribers and newbies :)

Whenever I see Leila's video with hidden tips in xls etc I think to myself: "phew, let's see although I surely know it". I click, I watch and at the end I scratch my head in awe... and I'm not that smart any more... So, I enrolled and I already know it's probably one of my best education investment ever!

Tip 1: I didn't know. It's easy. Thanks. Tip 2: Measures are sometimes my problem. I don't know why, my head doesn't want to work with them. Please, Leila, make one video for absolute beginners, at a slower pace. Tip 3: Yes, CUBE functions are the successor of the GETPIVOTDATA function.

Liela ma'am thank you so much for this video ❤

Awesome video, thank you very much or sharing the wealth! Idea for another video - connect slicers to pivot table and convert this pivot entirely to formulae (similar to what you did for grand total)- so that you can move cells around, apply different formatting, remove cells that you don't need etc. Slicers still will be managing formulae, so this may be neat solution for use cases like dashboards or accounting reports (which often adhere to very specific formatting).
