What about something for reconciliations, or pulling data from another source. Could try power query for pulling GL data. How about dynamic tables? Just a few came to mind. There’s many more options.

I built a workbook with the sole purpose combining data across multiple sources, that evaluates the combined data attached to an entry to determine if it should be reported and/or changed, and if the correct designations are applied to it based on the zip code it is located in.

I created a multi sheet macro code with a button to clear the reciving sheets.
It took specific columns of data automatically from a master sheet which had about 100 columns of data and put it into 5 separate sheets, with around 12 columns each (some similar, aome different, this was so that myself and my teammates had only the data we needed from the master sheet. This made it much easier to find what we needed at a glance.
It was for a data center application separation project. So much easier to look at all the data in those sheets, rather than trying to sort through the 100 or so columns.
Saved us many hours, as we couldn't just hide columns in the master, as it was shared, and for all 4 sheets we needed different column data.
App ID, app ne, Database(s), it's, system types, CPU, RAM, Storage, so many different things, I can't remember. It's been 6 years, since I built it.

Hi Group, seems like it should be basic format, but I just can not get it to work. a list of data and want to alternate shade (blue,white,blue,etc) each line but if I have multiple lines I want to group together and they all shade the same. I want to group by the same data in column A, and the number of rows that are the same could vary. So let’s say row 1& 2 same entry in column A(blue) row 3 different (white) row 4,5,6 same as each other different to other rows (blue) etc… help 🙏
