    Love your videos! There are a lot other training videos on CZcams and I was attracted by your voice in the first place (haha). I'm making templates to automate files and I just picked up some functions in this video that are super useful.
    I had a question about how to start a new line within a cell and formula using CONCATENATE but I found the answer in another video - using char(10) between strings.
    Thanks for the videos!

    Thank you for your excellent videos and teaching skills. I just discovered you yesterday and learned several new skills. There is the area concerning Maps that has me intrigued because I believe that it can be a very useful tool in my astrometeorological studies. I'd like to learn how to set this up properly and then load it up with info. I finished a course in Microsoft Access last year and am now 75% through Excel. Both of these programs are very important to me for my astrometeorological studies. Thank you in advance.

      Sele Training When I said “by character”, being that I am blind I cann’t see what you are typing. So I need to know exacctly what you are putting into the formula. Such as words, parentheses,commas and such.

    • @SeleTraining
      @SeleTraining  Před 5 lety +2

      @@cdhankerson7586That's an interesting challenge. For this video I do have a downloadable spreadsheet. I think it may be possible to download the spreadsheet and then setup your computer narrator in accessibility options. That may read aloud the formulas in the Excel file. The spreadsheet follows the video and all of the functions I describe are in the spreadsheet so if can read the formula in the cell it should give you some info. I'm not sure how that works so I don't know if it will accomplish your needs or not. The download file is at seletraining.com but I can send you the direct link in an email if that helps.

      The parameters are SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range). Not sure what you are trying to accomplish but the criteria must be a value to compare for the range. For example ">10" is a criteria that would sum all values in the range that are greater than 10. You appear to be comparing an entire range for the criteria.

    I wanted to add something quite useful.
    You are, for example, writing a list of sales and want to SUM the entire column of it. You select the range of cells and then, SUM. but later yoy realize that the result is wrong. Well, here is a little tip, if you putted in one cel " $10 (in 1 dolar bills)" you just maked it a "text cel" and now the SUM function won't count as something he needs to SUM, and the result, then, will be wrong
