Any of you guys excel wizards? - sweatshopking Aug 11, 11:17 16

  - thanks - sweatshopking Aug 11, 11:51 1
    - It stands for "no message," a quick way of saying readers don't need to click the post. They've already read the whole message. -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:52

- Vlookup only matches off Column A, but then lets you pull (return) from whatever column you designate. - Will Hunting Aug 11, 11:38
- VLOOKUP only works left to right. The lookup value has to be in the leftmost column and then you can pull matching data from columns to the right. -- (edited) - spamlet Aug 11, 11:28 4
  - xlookup worked - sweatshopking Aug 11, 11:46 2
    - Wasn’t sure if you had access to that as it’s only the newest version (I don’t) but glad she helped -- nm - spamlet Aug 11, 11:50 1

Mop - did you see this xbox pass deal? -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 11, 11:00 3
- Yes, thank you. It's not what it seems It's a Xbox Live Gold subscription that converts to Ultimate Game Pass at a 1-to-3 ratio. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 11, 11:03 2
  - FWIW, I've used it, and it works. -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:31
  - it's a bait-and-switch!! -- nm - decline Aug 11, 11:30
The Premier League 2023-2024 season starts in a few hours. I'm comforted by the back to basics approach stated by the Everton manager -- (link*) - JD Aug 11, 10:52 2
- what, "Don't get relegated!"? -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Aug 11, 10:54 1
  - If we could follow the first part and put the ball in goal, we shouldn't be anywhere near relegation -- nm - JD Aug 11, 11:27
Netflix/Adam Sandler: "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah" - okay, I will watch this. -- (link) - MDH Aug 11, 10:41 [youtube]
MLB updates prospect rankings. Jackson Holliday #1, the top 2 picks enter at #3 and #4, a 17 year old Padres prospect goes from unranked to #5. -- (link) - Tim Aug 11, 10:27 18
- We've got one! - David Aug 11, 11:26 1
  - Should I be excited about the Tennessee dude? -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 11:35
- The Orioles have six prospects on that list higher than the top Yankees prospect. -- nm - Dano Aug 11, 10:34 10
  - So? We were competing for a title every year and prospects get traded for major league talent. I'm good with that since prospects - Krusty Aug 11, 10:42 2
    - It's a sound idea if the veterans you're trading for and signing are delivering...but... - Will Hunting Aug 11, 11:40 1
      - Oh, no doubt. I didn't say it worked out well as our GM is a dunce. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 12:19
  - Local minor league team is Yankees High-A and I saw their top guy, he could be good. Dominguez seems to have stalled but is still only 20. -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 10:37 6
    - He’s a 20yr old doing okay in AA…that’s still ahead of the curve. He just isn’t trending to getting a Yankees Monument Park statue. - Will Hunting Aug 11, 10:41 2
      - Yeah, when they signed him it seemed like “he’s gonna be in the majors at 19” levels of hype. -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 10:43 1
        
        People really over-hyped him up calling him the next Mantle. It was ridiculous and not fair to him. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 10:49
    - I guess you haven't checked his numbers from July and August because he's tearing the cover off the ball. - Krusty Aug 11, 10:40 2
      - Only noticed that he dropped on their top 100 and Jones moved (literally one spot) ahead of him -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 10:42 1
        
        He's been very good the last two months. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 10:48
- O’s have 6 of 55 and that’s not including the recently promoted Westburg who would have ranked high and is doing well in the MLB. - Will Hunting Aug 11, 10:31 1
  - Orioles and Pirates tied at 6 each, Brewers, Cubs, Dodgers, Mets, Reds and Rockies have 5, Astros and Royals have 0. -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 10:34
- (I didn’t realize until recently that he’s Matt Holliday’s kid.) -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 10:30 2
  - Yup, Andruw's kid went second. Then, Tracy Rocker's kid went third. - David Aug 11, 11:27 1
    - It's kinda amazing how different Druw and Jackson have done ... - Will Hunting Aug 11, 11:48
The Challenge new ep.! (spoil) - mud Aug 11, 10:18
My BIL (i guess that's the right term?) has an excel question for y'all. Vlookup related. I'm going to add an account for him so he can ask here. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:07 12
- Looks like this is his question, but the sticking point is in the follow-up comment about column D. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:32 7
  - Not sure I completely understand what he's asking. Is it as simple as... - Dano Aug 11, 10:45
  - Josh is very confusing :) - oblique Aug 11, 10:42 3
    - I'm a bit unclear on it myself. It seems like maybe he's trying to make an auto-pairing sheet for mock trials or something. -- nm* - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:47 2
      - conflicts list - sweatshopking Aug 11, 11:26
      - My guess would be he's messing up the second parameter (search range) and not having the first column contain what he is searching for -- (edited) - oblique Aug 11, 10:53
  - hmm, I wonder if columnar formatting still works on ST -- (edited) - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:38 1
    - and you're only telling us NOW?!? - decline Aug 11, 10:41
- "use xlookup instead." next question? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Aug 11, 10:22 1
  - Doesn't work if you don't have the latest version of Excel. -- nm - spamlet Aug 11, 10:54
- I just used a VLOOKUP. I'm ready :) -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 10:15

Special counsel to investigate President Biden's son Hunter - zork Aug 11, 09:42 10
- Well, that’s it. I’m definitely not voting for Hunter Biden now. -- nm - Qale Aug 11, 10:43 1
  - aww phooey [kicks sand] -- nm - hunter Aug 11, 10:54
- (It’s the same prosecutor who’s been on the case from day one. just has different status) -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 11, 09:48 2
  - Ah. The article stub just said "will now be investigated by a special counsel with additional powers" -- nm - zork Aug 11, 09:51
  - 'cause the plea deal fell apart and they may need to go to trial -- nm - decline Aug 11, 09:50
- Sure, throw the GOP a bone while bonking them on the nose at the same time. Maybe that'll pull some people away from trump. - Beryllium Aug 11, 09:47 4
  - Kind the opposite imo, this stops Comer and House GOP in their tracks -- nm - Jovian Aug 11, 09:49 3
    - lol yes, they'll totally not subpoena every Biden down to the german shepherds now -- (link) - hollywood big shot Aug 11, 09:59 1
      - Yes, Comer and their ilk sound just thrilled above it -- (link) - Jovian Aug 11, 10:19
    - Oh wait maybe that's exactly what you're saying -- nm - Jovian Aug 11, 09:50

Is Qale or Colin around today? - Strongbad Aug 11, 09:10 5
- You should ask on /r/DragonCon. -- nm - Qale Aug 11, 09:25 1
  - Thanks! -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 09:32
- If anybody else is a regular attendee of one of the large Cons, your input would be appreciated also. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 09:11 2
  - It really is con depending. But most of them have sensory rooms for people to relax in. But they might be out of the way and hard to get to. - Remlik Aug 11, 09:38 1
    - I wanted to go to a con in Vegas last month but couldn't get a ticket. It sounds like it was a mess. - Strongbad Aug 11, 09:44

Federalist society law professors review the 14th amendment and determine that Trump should be ineligible to run for president. -- (link) - pmb Aug 11, 09:05 6
- Well, that settles that, and the Supreme Court will surely not apply their own biased interpretation to the Constitution whatsoever. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 11, 09:25 3
  - I thought they were just Fed Soc lackeys? It’s so hard to keep up. -- nm - spamlet Aug 11, 09:59 2
