My Name is Gašper Kamenšek. I'm a Microsoft MVP for Excel and this is my version of the Excel skills test for a job interview. All in all, it's five questions... Well, they are not so much questions as "Open up Excel and do this", or "here is the data now tell me this"...
It's important to note that none of the questions are "There is just one correct answer" questions. In this video, I'm going to present the questions to you. I'm going to tell you why those questions are essential and give you an understanding of what each question is designed to accomplish. And on top of that, this video will also provide ideas of build-up questions if someone hits a home run in the first attempt.

This video was recorded using Excel 365, and you can follow along its entirety only by using the Office 365 version of Excel.

Chapters:

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I learned so much from it it's remarkable! In 40min i upped my data skills 10 notches. It helped consolidate what i knew of arrays into an applicable real world scenario and the fact that you contrasted and compared the more "traditional" or antiquated ways to solve those problems in Excel with the latest and hippest was really useful. My only regret is that you didn't include a link to a test question file and more crucially to the 4 text files that were transformed in power query. I literally just discovered Power query and those text files would've been a great tool for practice. Anyway, fantastic job and i am now

This is great information but one problem is that I wanted to be able to download the spreadsheet so that I could work in the errors myself. I realize the first question is blank but the others are not.

I was playing along and did a couple of them slightly differently. Q1 was such a great question, so simple but really had to think about it. I used CTRL + G to go to A100000, then CTRL+SHIFT+UP to fill the range back to A3. Didn't know you could select a range the way you did, that will prove very useful!. Q3 I used SUMIFS(range,range,">"&LARGE(range,11)). In power query I would have removed the blanks by filtering a column and would never have considered your method but it's a good tip to learn! Great video!

Great job. I continue to watch videos from several Excel MVP’s and am always amazed with the new features and techniques you come up with. One of my challenges is to have new applications to use these great features (i.e. Power Query, Unique, etc); After using a few of them, work becomes repetitive and it’s just updating the data with new data so I find it challenging to develop a need to use theses new great features unless I have a new assignment requiring me to think differently. Thanks for all your great research and easy to follow and use examples. Tom

Hello, is that ok if you could make available the big file with the txt files and the transformed data you di so that I can practice the importing on my end and comparing with yours to see if I am getting right. So I need data to play with and follow with your exercises. Thank you again for your generosity.

This is pretty cool. I have done VBscripting of editing excel files but still am not aware of some of these basic functions. Normally I don't have to worry about it, but apparently for a test next week I do. Also, my very first question is: What is faster? Doing it manually or spending 20-30 minutes trying to figure out the elegant solution and is this a one time thing or will I have to perform this calculation multiple times?

I can never get half of the things on video instructions to do the same thing. I put an apostrophe in front of and number and tried to find it with goto special but it couldn't find it. I typed it in the exact same way but it can't find it. I must have something different in my excel setup I guess.

In Question 5, what is the last symbol you added to the formula for the source in the Data Validation dialogue box? I couldn't get the screen to be clear enough to see how you did that to keep it dynamic. Thanks soooo much for all of this content! I'm learning lots, including directions for continuing to keep learning.
