My colleague forgot to save a file they spent numerous hours working on. They could not find the file in recent files or in their documents. They were able to recover after finding it in the temp files… always save your files and save them in a location you can find!

How can I add multiple characteristics within one cell and make sure that a pivot table can read both values independently if needed? E.g., I have a column titled “color” and in one cell I write “red” and the other “red, blue”.

Is it possible to do this with two sets of drop downs (days of week + time slots) and not use index match here? She could make 5 tables for each day of the week, but prefers one table that can be easily navigated by doctors.
