Looking for some good formulas to use. Not like VLOOKUPs/IndexMatch or INDIRECT...just something interesting. Usually works out best when people have excel problems! I haven’t used a spreadsheet days.

Is it unfair to her that I'll have a significant majority at the wedding?

How do you make defined name ranges stay the same when the source is changed in power query? I’ve been really struggling.


I have a model with many defined name ranges in it that are referenced throughout. Each named range is set to be 250 rows long that way it works as long as the data set has less than 250 responses. However, when I switch the data source in PQ, it inexplicably shortens all my named ranges by around 4-6 rows (for example, one that was $B$3:$B$252 becomes $B$3:$B$246). Help?
