This is absolutely incredible. It was of immense help in not just the immediate issue I had, but gaining a much better understanding of CRP. I can’t wait to check out the other sections! Thank you for writing this!
I’m really happy you’re finding it of use.
As you said, the official documentation on CRP was so badly done and un-helpful that I overlooked this feature for the last couple of years. Now with all the articles you’ve written to explain it thoroughly, I am going to use it in the sheets I am authoring. Thanks a lot !
That’s great to hear! Good luck with your sheets 🙂
I had the same experience, btw. I was put off by the official documentation and skipped them until I started to plan out this series. Now I use them all the time, they are so powerful and flexible.
