Sharon - I am in the process of interviewing for a new job, and part of that process was doing a data analysis test. The only question on the test I did not understand involved creating a unique identifier and using it to find common items between two sets of data. You not only explained how to do this, but showed a real-world example of WHY you would want to do this. This was especially helpful, as part of my data test required cleaning two sets of data, which resulted in them looking almost identical, which then resulted in me wondering what the point was of using a unique identifier to find common items between two nearly identical data sets. I realized this was meant to be done before the data was cleaned, and after using your methods here it actually made sense, as I found eleven items in common between the two messes. Thank you so much. I love you. ❤
Thank you. I have watched probably 15 of these videos and yours is the first one that finally made sense in my brain.
Thank you, Sharon! You solved a major situation for us with a database export from two tables. A HUGE THANK YOU from over here!
This video is the easiest explanation I have found for the VLOOKUP function. I work in agriculture and used this to match nearly 2,000 blocks with appropriate yield estimates. I update this regularly throughout growing seasons and this has saved me countless hours. Thank you so much for sharing, you rock!
Thank you! i watched so many way-to-long videos and was super frustrated. Then your vid popped up and I was good in no time.Thanks for showing how to use the tool itself instead of typing the command in. Looking forward to doing some more comparisons now. Thanks again and again !
I reference this video all the time. Thank you for the clear instructions.
As always Sharon - your my goto for Excel formulas. I was having issues with my vlookup but you helped me tremendously on the formula wizard. Works like a charm now :)
This is Outstanding Sharon!!! I needed to cross-reference 2 spreadsheets. This saved me hours of frustration.
Wow thank you for making a video that wasn't an excel 101 compare exact list conditional formatting video. This was exactly what I needed
OMG... thank you so much... I have spent hours looking for this solution and I finally found it!!!
Amaazing. I have been looking and looking on how to do this. Happy I found you here!
