Excel 2007 - Create a 2 axes combination chart Excel 2003 or 2007 - Copy different text down a column quickly
This video came from the GSCPA webinar on May 4, 2009. A client sends you data in Excel and you can't filter, sort, subtotal, or data validation due to the way it is set up. You can you a keyboard shortcut to quickly get the data corrected.


Excel 2007 - Create a 2 axes combination chart Excel 2007 - Primary and Secondary axis combination chart Video
Trying to chart percentages and numbers? If the variance is too large, it is hard to get a chart. See Chris Menard create a combination chart with 2 axes in Excel 2007.


Excel - Any version - Use the Index and Match function Excel - Use the Index and Match Function
Excel's max function will find the highest value, but what if you want to know who was it that was the largest? You can use Excel's index and match function together, as a nested function to figure it out.


Use the Workday function in Excel Use Excel's workday function
You can use Excel's workday function to calculate a future date that excludes weekends and holidays. Example: you mail out a letter and the recipient has 10 business days to reply. If December 24 and 25 are during the week, the weekday function will exclude them.


Excel - Put your Data Validation on a separate worksheet - VLookup Function used Data Validation on a separate worksheet. VLookup Function is also shown.
Excel's data validation list allows restricts the data or values that users enter into a cell. Chris Menard shows you in this video how to put your data validation list on another worksheet. Naming a range and Vlookup are also used in this video.


Excel - Advanced Data Validation - Indirect Function Excel - Advanced Data Validation - Indirect Function.
In this advanced video, Chris Menard uses Excel's indirect Function to make one data validation list dependent on another. This was a great question that came up during training in Atlanta from a client that does business in the contiguous U.S. When they pick a region, example southeast, they only want to see the southeast states not all 48 states. If you don't know how to name ranges, please see this data validation video first.


Excel - Charts - Make Static Excel - Charts - Make Static
You want to update your data, but keep your chart static. By default, charts are linked to data. In this video, Chris Menard will show you how to take an existing Excel chart and keep it from getting updated.


Excel - Create a custom sort for Text and Values Excel - Create a custom sort for text and values
You want to sort a list in Ascending order but have values and text. Excel will sort by the values first. In this video, Chris Menard shows you how to sort by the text first, then the values using Conditional Formatting.


Excel - sum multiple regions quickly using the CTRL key Excel - sum multiple regions quickly using the CTRL key
If you know how AutoSum and Autofill work, this will save you time when you need to sum multiple regions.


Excel - remove duplicates and use Countif Excel - remove duplicates and use Countif
Excel 2007 has a new feature for removing duplicate data. You can use the Countif function to count only specific criteria.
