I haven’t seen textbefore and textafter, I’ll have to check those out!

I think it has been getting more popular as of late, but I do find being very good at LET, FILTER, UNIQUE, VSTACK, and XLOOKUP (and being able to combine them properly) still allows me to be "the excel guy" in the office. Also, learning how to make Alteryx interact with Excel has been a major game changer

I find the syntax for index match to be much cleaner than a double Xlookup when searching a grid.

I’m helping my GF with excel and need help lol. She works at a hospital and is trying to make an excel schedule for doctors to reserve rooms. She wants drop downs for days of the week (column K) and also different drop down menus in column P for the reserved time slots.

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.
