I hope that helps, as I think Excel is a great program and I definitely need to learn more features, to improve my knowledge too.The MarketWatch News Department was not involved in the creation of this content.

I would have liked it if you dragged the new pivoted table – side by side (to the original data table) than overlaid them.

I also prefer to be able to see the whole page at once (as I watched the presentation in full screen) as the constant zooming in and out (and watching partially cropped tables, overlaid screens, etc) gave me a bit of visual stress. In the new presentation, I liked the ‘turning cube graphic’ at the start of the presentation, however I would have preferred a smaller ‘yellow ball pointer’ which didn’t over lap across other headings, so that I could focus better on which tab you were clicking on, etc. I preferred the Original video too, because whilst listening, I was also able to view the typical other ‘Excel Tabs’, and that gave me a clearer picture of where I was on the ribbon, in terms of where to find the Pivot tabs, that I would need to use on the Ribbon. _ Author Debra Dalgleish Posted on ApCategories Excel training In the poll below, please pick the features that help make the video better.

Of course, there are many features that I haven’t explored, so when today’s Camtasia Studio newsletter arrived, I followed a couple of the links to their online tutorials. That surrounds the pointer with a bright yellow circle, so it’s easier for viewers to follow what I’m doing. I’m currently using Camtasia Studio 7, and use a few of its great features, like cursor highlighting. A few years ago, the nice people at TechSmith gave me a licence for Camtasia Studio, and I use it to make my Excel video tutorials.
