Filtering Lists and the Status Bar
"Hi Clayton Although I was familiar with filtering and I do use it in a practical sense I was not aware of the power of the status bar aspect and that is a great feature, especially when dealing with significant amounts of data. The five minute video presentations are excellent and feature a simple (KISS) but practical demonstration of a particular feature in Excel. and they are just long enough to instruct in a manner that manuals can't cover like you do. The fact is I can revisit until i get the principles right by practicing the feature until it becomes an automatic feature of my Excel skills Keep up the good work Rob "

"I have read about this but have never seen a demonstration of it. The movie helps me to understand better about the use of the status bar and the autofilter tool, and to confidently apply it. Dr Tin Htut "
"I like this feature especially with large data. This could help make what you are working with much more manageable. Thanks for this tutorial."
