    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.

      Learn to do this in Power Query or a Pivot table. Power Query in particular will blow your mind. In my opinion, #6 won't work in many cases.

      Hi Chandoo,
      For #6: What I can do is just copy the 3 cell and go to Street cell and do Alt e+s+e(transpose) then enter. Stacked will be done in few seconds.

    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.
