Protip: Did you know Find & Replace in #Microsoft #Excel can 'find' cells based on FORMATTING then replace the cell with what you want.

There no way to do this without writing a macro but in competition, this is a cool way to revise your sheet.

The Individual Competition is under way at the #Microsoft #Excel Collegiate Championships (#MECC) and Ben Weber is in the lead, with Tim Froelich & Julian Poeltl behind him but it's early.

The 4 qualifiers of the collegiate teams have been declared. The top 4 move on & they are:
University of #Arizona
University of #Tennessee
University of Technology #Sydney
University of #Kentucky
