This week we have special guest Dim Early - the reigning Excel World Champion - who took part in our new feature called “If you could ask any question to the Excel World Champion what would you ask? But since you’re not hear we’ll ask on your behalf”. It’s not a catchy title but it is descriptive 😁
Plus, we had Question of the Week: To be an expert, what’s more important, depth of knowledge of breadth of knowledge.

Trolls, Features and Common Data problems. In this chaotic episode of Unpivot, the gang kicks things off with Halloween antics and quickly spirals into the wild world of Excel, Power BI, and internet comment drama. From TikTok trolls who think Power Pivot lives in Access (spoiler: it doesn’t) to debates about whether picking pumpkins is just muddy shopping, it’s a rollercoaster of laughs and learning.
They also dive into juicy new features like visual calcs, agent mode, and formula-by-example, and share their favourite ways to handle messy data, missing dates, and the eternal mystery of “what does sales actually mean?”
