Tempted to go to Falkirk & tell him to Farage Off back where he came from. But his whole schtick is to monetise hate & conflict. Best completely ignore him & not give him the victim card he so desperately seeks.

Floored me completely. Took my first proper work sick days in over 25 yrs. 2 weeks in, still lingering. Can mostly breathe again which is reassuring.

XLOOKUP instead of VLOOKUP & HLOOKUP.

For about 99% of users though, your point is spot on. Only the niche geeks like me use the really good stuff.

Given that I use it for work, and work buys my hardware & software, then yes.
I can bring data in from any file anywhere on the network, transform it as I please, then use it as a source for further queries in Azure Synapse, all within Excel.
Although MS borked the latest update so it’s a bit slow.
