    It’s quite handy for presentation tools or scenario testing if your outputs are remote from your inputs.

    One of the few tools I miss in google sheets.

    Useful for gathering Metrics together for a single management KPI “summary” as well.

    Distribute Vertically & Align Left are little known tools which can save huge amounts of time for users unaware of their existence

    Allows you to create a live view to other parts of your workbook, just add it to the quick access toolbar from the all commands list.

    unary + unary = binary

    I think that’s how it works 😀

    I seem to renember using the camera tool to fudge dynamic chart titles in an old version where it couldn’t otherwise be done.

    If you’re ever stuck in a mire of vlookups slowing things done horribly this is a trick that’ll make the average user think you’re some kind of magician*

    And I shall assume Google sheets does the same binary pass under VLOOKUP. But worth checking.
