Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I got interested with the webinar because of the lookup and if function. I don't think there was enough time to discuss all of the objectives because it was too many. But Mike is a really good presenter.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Did not meet my expectations and not worth $300. I could have learned more in that 1hr 40 min watching youtube video. Probably should have indicated it was for beginners.
