   Named ranges! Also newer Excel versions provide you the LET function, which is neat for documentation (naming) of intermediate steps: =LET(data; F4:F34; dummy1; "This is a made up average function; this string is ignored&quo

   100% agree! I find quite concerning that this point is not immediate in any conversation about AI or robots impacting the number of jobs, and the subsequent conversation about innovating new taxes. AI and robots are capital as any other aut
