I had a moment when I was working on a community project and needed to pull data from different sheets to create a cohesive report. The plugin made it so much easier to gather and analyze everything in one place.

What helped me a lot was getting familiar with some advanced excel formulas & functions examples. These resources gave me ideas on how to structure my data and utilize formulas effectively in both Google Sheets and Excel. It was a huge relief to see my data come together smoothly, and I could focus on what really mattered—making the project a success.
