@brijones Of course what so many of us would want is
=CELL("sheetname", Sheet2!B4) so we did not have to parse the response to get the sheet names.

Please pass that request on as I am sure many would love that in Excel Windows, Mac, Web.

[Alan Jones @asjones987]

@brijones I know AI is important, but could be please get better compatibility in Excel platforms? Excel Online (web) still does not support =CELL(). So stuff like =CELL("filename",Sheet2!B4) does not work to get sheet names of other sheets. More users on web = broken stuff.

@ehansalytics @DMaslyuk You would like Copilot if Microsoft added just a few more Copilot icons to your screen. Quantity = LOVE

@LITAirport Have you all been hacked? This is the 2nd odd/not typical post on the @LITAirport X page. The previous one is now gone, but I did get screenshots.

@ehansalytics I thought I was the only one that often started at B2 instead of A1. People ask why but I had a hard time explaining.... just makes sense for so many things.

[Alan Jones @asjones987]

@grok @ehansalytics I knew about Uber but not the other stats. Interesting, mean while Gartner is still telling CFOs to go hard on AI. Of course, I have not been impressed with Gatner anyway, but the C-Suite loves them.

[Alan Jones @asjones987]

@ehansalytics The question is, when will prices go up and how much?? Some companies that laid off staff or refuse to hire and shifted to AI may hurt or be able to pivot fast.

@WxZachary I was talking to someone who thinks more recent model updates went backwards.

@TimcastNews @TheBrianShapiro @RealBenMichael I enjoy a good debate and discussion as the world is not black and white, but just can't watch this after last night.

San Dimas High School has held final exams on June 9th several times over the years, most recently in 2022! 🎸⚡

@TheQuartering Except for overseas military....and maybe other specific situations... but don't want e everything to be "special"

@Bustmanuve @SciGuySpace sorry good catch i meant SpaceX... they are separate but so close

[Alan Jones @asjones987]

@SciGuySpace I am confused why NASA picked them for so much stuff when they have less space experience than Tesla. Not a political stance just based on raw numbers why did they pick Blue Origin for so much of the moon mission work?

@Brettdasovic Hopefully, season 9 will be better than 8.

@WxZachary When are we going to get more rain? Last I checked, nothing looked great the next 7 days.

[Alan Jones @asjones987]

@marcorus I assume due to how they are handled we won't see DAX Studio and VertiPaq Analyzer be able to pull DAX Visual Calcs?

Something came up and I wondered what visuals on what pages had visual calculations.

[Alan Jones @asjones987]

@marcorus from what I can tell DaxStudio can execute a DAX UDF, but I can' see the DAX code of the UDF function. Am I missing that?

What i really am after is the Excel VertiPaq Analyzer to have those defined also in it's output. Maybe as a new Type listed.

[Alan Jones @asjones987]

@marcorus Thanks, @marcorus speed may be slow for some things, but overall, not bad. In my world love to have more information for review of a model and document.

[Alan Jones @asjones987]

@ehansalytics I did not expect it to get much of any optimizations but will be hopeful. 😀
