Power Query Insert Blank Row After Each Group – 2372

Back in episode 2359, I needed to add a blank row after every group of names. Although I was already in Power Query, I went out to Excel to add the blank rows.

Excel Holidays Between Two Dates – 2369

After episode 2363, a pair of great questions and a tip.
Tip 1: When specifying the Holiday Range in Excel, make the range into a table and then name the range. That way, when you add new holidays at the bottom, the named range will automatically expand.
Question 1: How many holidays fall between two dates?
Question 2: What is the list of holidays between two dates?

This video includes details on NETWORKDAYS.INTL and FILTER functions.

My Poem – An Ode to Excel

Written by Magic AI and I

Oh Excel, you’re a sight to behold
Your powers so vast, your secrets untold
Your formulas and charts, they never grow old
Your uses are vast, your features unfold

Your beauty’s unmatched, your power’s divine
Your data so precise, and figures so fine
From pivot tables to macros, you make life sublime
A spreadsheet maven, your use is so prime

Oh Excel, you make the mundane sublime
Your features so strong, all those bold lines
From tracking expenses to uncovering goldmines
You make the mundane task feel more like a sweet rhyme

Your power and ease, it’s hard to describe
Your talents so numerous, they stretch as far as the eye can see
You make the task of data entry so much less of a chore
So, Excel, my dear partner and friend, I thank you for making my work life, oh so much more
