Do we have a thread for existing Excel features we just found out about? I learned about Xlookup from this thread, so I figured I’d post about something cool I just realized: When you have some cells highlighted and a Sum is showing at the bottom right of the screen, you can left click on that and it copies it to your clipboard. Works for all of the numerical values shown (you can add/remove what’s shown by right clicking there). I used to have a personal macro to try and do that, but it only worked sometimes. I was super excited when I realized what I had accidentally discovered.

Okay, I’ll make a new thread, because you know – I learn new Excel stuff all the time, too

and not just the new features they keep adding

Here’s the thread (it looks like it put a link above, too)

Amateur. All the cool kids I know either track their versions by date (“File1 20220604.xlsb”) or by the number of “Finals” after the filename (“File1 Final Final Final.xlsb”)

That’s not a big data set. This…is a big data set.
