BYCOL Apply a formula across entire columns. Ideal for comparing monthly totals or applying statistical functions.

BYROW Like BYCOL, but row-focused. Simplifies row-by-row calculations without repetitive formulas.

A Quick Guide to Quick

Since we can pin posts now I thought maybe I would do something less wordy than my other posts to pin.

NEW FOLLOWERS: We're all under siege by bots lately so be sure to put something unbotlike on your blog or profile so I don't accidentally block or report you! It doesn't have to be anything detailed or identifying just something that implies you are a real person (a closeup of your bosom is not going to be convincing, for example). 💜

Hi, I’m Quick, welcome! Here’s where to find things:

Fiction Master Post for all the fanfic I have posted to Tumblr

My AO3 Page if you prefer to read there (all my works are available on both platforms)

Weekly Lukanette Link Roundup - If you’re looking for more Lukanette content, I do a post every Monday(ish) with all the Lukanette fics I’ve found on tumblr for the week.

WIP Reports - Status of my current projects

WIP Wednesday and Six Sentence Sunday for peeks at what I’m working on

My asks are usually open, although I don’t typically take prompts/requests unless I’ve posted to ask for some. 

I'm a mod over at @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers, and on the associated discord server, so you'll see a lot of reblogs from there. However if I reblog something tagged "signal boost," it's usually exactly that and I'm not affiliated with that particular event, just to keep things clear. If you have a lukanette or lukanette adjacent event that you would like to boost feel free to drop a link in my asks or DMs.

This blog is not spoiler-free but you can filter #ml season 5 spoilers, #ml show bible spoilers, or #ml spoilers to cover both. I try to be diligent about tagging everything.

#quickrants is my tag for venting/opinion posts, so feel free to filter that if you don’t want to see that kind of thing.

Antifreeze: What’s the Difference?
