    Very nice ^^ For #8 I think it’s helpful to also mention that the Find, Format button, drop down allows you to select a specific cell to just pull the format from. It helps if you don’t know the exact color you want to duplicate.

    Hi Chandoo. Great Vidéo/ I'm new to your channel and subscribed. I speak french but i understand your vids. My contribution to the #6 unstacking data:
    Another way to Unstack Data
    First, write these formulas like this: E6=C6; F6=C7 and G6=C8 in the first row

    Then select the first 3 rows

    Then use the fill handle to copy down(fill without formats)
    Then copy paste as value to get rid of the underlying formula

    From here, to get rid of blank cells, select the range (without the header) and sort from Z to A

    And you are done

    Excellent video Chandoo and we particular like the section at 9:44 - (Removing duplicate combinations in your data) as this is something we have been working on for many years in our tools, and although Excel has a very quick method of finding and removing duplicates we find that by combining advanced data matching algorithms with configurable lookup libraries can provide the most accurate results.
