What is it about this time of year?

  I'm not sure what it is about this time of the year that makes me think about doing tutorials. I know last year I went fast forward and even started working on podcasts, which unfortunately didn't get a lot of traction. I almost decided that this wasn't going to be worth it to start it up again. It took a lot of thought and a lot of angst on my end on what I should do. Then yesterday happened. 

In a matter of hours, I had the pleasure of helping two different teachers with different walkthroughs on how to assist them with not only their data but how to switch things up for students in Slides if needed. It was all last minute, nothing was really planned out,  yet in a matter of two hours, I was able to light a spark within them as they learned something new. 

This morning I then woke up to a new comment on a YouTube video that I did two years ago, that honestly wasn't that great compared to what I know now, but the comment was very touching. Some of them on that one video weren't so nice, because I had loud music in the background that seemed to lose the viewers. The person who left the comment made me realize that even if I feel like I'm not getting through to anyone right now, I could potentially get through to them later. It gave me a push that I needed as I really wanted to give up. 

That being said, which seems to be said a lot this year, I will push forward even if not many people see it. I love sharing the tools of technology that can be used in the office. I love it when someone else asks the, "yeah, but..." questions that take it to the next step. I really love it when I see a comment that is actually uplifting. We need more good in this world. So that being said. I'm going to start by trying my best to include a new blog post each week and move forward from there. I hope you'll pop in from time to time to see what's new. 

Cheers, 

Beth

Multiple Conditional Formatting and Checkboxes in Sheets

  Last week I had a viewer of a video that I made in 2018 ask a question regarding conditional formatting and checkboxes. Now, when I created this video, it wasn't all that great. I still didn't want to talk on my tutorial videos, so I had music. Some loved it, others did not. I would like to think that I've evolved a bit since then, even if I did end up taking a year off as this was A YEAR like no other.  While that video has had several views, I did have viewers asking questions. Now those that know me, know that I'm in spreadsheets for one reason or another, every single workday. It's what I enjoy, and well, it's needed for my day-to-day work duties. Since others might be visual learners, I thought I'd do another quick tutorial for those that might want to learn how to do multiple conditional formatting. These can be applied in whichever scenario you think you would need to work for you. That's the great thing about spreadsheets, everyone uses them fo...
