I ejoyed this challenge! A great way to refresh on some basic excel functions, took a little bit of playing to get the equations to work together but satisfying to finish!

This challenge was informative. I used an unorthodox approach for isolating the needed information from the text. I wrote VBA code and used blank spaces as delimiters. I assigned each word to an entry in an array. Each cell of text had its own array. I assigned variables to certain entries in the array. I then set various cells in a row to the created variables. I iterated through all of the rows.

For the user_data, name_data and name_matrix tabs I used a more straightforward approach: using the formulas that Excel already had like XLOOKUP, CONCAT and SUMIF.

It was impressive to see the formulas all come together to create a cool visual display at the end.

Fun Challenge. Great review on text formulas. Here is my submission for Prof. Summer’s class.

Fun challenge, great to brush up on string splitting, lookups, and conditional formatting.
I used left and right functions instead of split, but it is cool to see how different formulas can get you to the same conclusion.

This really helped me get back into excel and remember some keyboard shortcuts as well as learn a bunch of new formulas. Cool to see how much Excel can do!

Super interesting exercise! For some reason, my color formatting didn’t work, but I was able to get everything else!

Very cool use of conditional formatting! It took me a second to realize I needed to sort the names and user data before it gave me the correct matrix outputs.

Great review on previous IS classes! I used all similar formulas for my answer.

I feel like this helped me to understand xlookups, reason for pasting values, and using absolutes.

I learned a lot about separating data and using SUMIF & XLOOKUP.
