I just received a fabulous review, from one of my viewers, for my video tutorial, “9 Essential Skills for Excel 2010.”

Product Reviews

It’s really a master piece!!

Posted by Tamoghna on 8th Sep 2012

“I was a beta tester of “9 Essential Excel Skills- Excel 2010” by Danny Rocks. In one word this is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to master those essential skills which are required to use excel professionally. There are total 9 chapters which consist of a series of dense but brief video lessons.

The lessons have been planned in a careful way so that the viewers are introduced from simple to more complex topics.

Surely you are going to be amazed by the incredible picture and sound quality of the videos. I had a feeling as if I was watching an excel movie while putting my head phone. Danny has several qualities as an instructor. His pace of delivery and voice modulation is just fantastic and if you are not an absolute excel-newbie watching a video just one time is enough. Before starting each lesson he gives a brief introduction so that you can connect what you learned in the previous lesson. He also repeats and stresses some part which you will find really helpful.

Another great take away from this video tutorial is a bunch of great keyboard shortcuts and best excel practices which you can expect only from an excel veteran. Among so many other things I was left with surprise why I didn’t use “page layout view” and “vertical alignment formatting” before! Even if you are an advanced excel user surely you are going to learn a lot of useful tricks including some commonly encountered gotchas and how to avoid them.

I won’t be taken aback If this product goes every corner of the excel user community and becomes best seller in this field.”

Download My Excel Workbooks and Step-by-Step Instructional Manuals for Free!

Finally! I have figured out a way to allow my viewers to download the Excel Workbooks, Word Documents, PowerPoint Presentations, etc. that I use in my video lessons. For the past few months, I have been able to give you a direct link to download the Adobe Acrobat files that I create. For example:

My problem has been that – Starting in Office 2007 –  the underlying file structure of each program (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.) has changed and it is no longer possible to “Publish to the Web” the worksheets, documents and presentations that I offered in the past. I will spare you the boring details of why and how this has happened, because I have good news for you!

Enter, “The Cloud!”

Cloud Computing

You have probably seen or heard this advertising slogan recently. Here is how I have just discovered how “The Cloud” can work for both you and me:

Initially, I am uploading – and sharing – the workbooks, documents, PDFs, etc. that accompany the extended video recordings that I offer on my http://thecompanyrocks.webex.com site.

This is a new development for me and The Company Rocks. I offer a series of extended length ( 25 minute to 60 minutes) video tutorials.

  • Intro to Pivot Tables in Excel 2007

    Information about this Video Recording

     

  • As I write this posting, I have 4 modules – each offered “free of charge” – for you to view and / or download.
  •  
  •  

Go to http://thecompanyrocks.webex.com to see what I currently offer you!

  • As I gather feedback, activity, statistics, etc. I may extend the range of downloadable content that I create – My decision will depend upon your feedback, so please add your comments below in this posting!

    • My Next Level of Product Offerings 

    I am on a journey to evolve the range and detail of the products and services that I offer you, my loyal viewers and subscribers. I wnat to be responsive to your needs. So, that meanrs that the more feedback that I get from you – my viewers and subscribers – the better I can structure my offerings. I welcome your feedback!

    Based on some great feedback from my viewers and subscribers, I have just begun to create a series of extended length ( 25 to 45 minutes) video tutorials. The initial tutorials will be offered “free of charge.” Other video tutorials will be carry a modest – I might add, aggressive – pricing model! My goal is to give you the product and content that you need at a price that is mutually acceptable! You, and your level of supposrt will tell me what is acceptable – please give me your feedback!

    You can now view or download – after registering – at WebEx by Cisco – for these video tutorials that I have posted:

    Group Data in Pivot Table for Quarterly Report

    During a recent Excel training class, one student asked me if was possible to create a Quarterly Summary Report in a Pivot Table. Yes, it is quite easy to do this – as you will see in the video.

    In the Data Set that we are using for this Pivot Table we have four territories and 12 months of sales for each territory over a one year period. The Months (Jan, Feb, etc.) are not actual dates (e.g.1/1/08,) they are Labels.

    In an earlier video, I showed you how easy it is to create new fields for Months, Quarters & Years from a Date field. Because our months are Labels, we will GROUP the Months to create the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Quarters in our Pivot Table.

    Here are the steps to follow in this lesson:

    1. Create a Pivot Table using the default settings in the Pivot Table Wizard. Place the Months in the Row area, the territory in the Column area, and the Sales in the Data area.
    2. Select the Labels January, February, March. On the Pivot Table drop-down menu select Group & Show Detail – Group.
    3. Rename the generic label (Group1) to 1st Qtr.
    4. Follow the same sequence of steps to create Groups for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Quarters.
    5. Rename the new, generic field (Month2) Quarter.
    6. Use the Toolbar Commands to Hide & Show Detail as desired.

    Do You Want Copies of My Excel Workbooks?

    I have a question for you?

    I just added an “interactive copy” of my Excel Workbook for my video lesson – “Rearrange Your Columns – Sort from Left to Right”

    Here is the link to the workbook.

    My question is: Should I go back and add links to the Excel Workbooks for earlier lessons? To make it easy for you to respond, I have included a quick poll to the right sidebar on this page (at the bottom of the sidebar).

    Thanks in advance for your response!

    Danny

    Perform "What-if" analysis with a 2 input Data Table

    Here are the steps to follow in this video lesson:

    1. Create a formula that references cells – e.g. =PMT(B4/12,B5,B3)
    2. To the right of this formula cell, enter a series of “substitute” values – e.g. 36, 48, 72 months.
    3. Directly below the formula cell, enter another series of “substitute” values – 4%, 4.5%, 5%, etc.
    4. Select the range of cells for the Data Table – starting with the formula cell.
    5. From the Excel Menu, choose Data, Table.
    6. For the “Row Input Cell,” click the cell in the original formula for which you want to “substitute” the row values in your Data Table.
    7. For the “Column Input Cell,” click the cell in the original formula for which you want to “substitute” the column values in your Data Table. Then click OK.
