When you've received a report from someone it would be nice to do your own analysis of the data. However if it's already in some report table format with multiple header or row fields and multiple total or subtotal fields, you'd think that you'd have to do a lot of copy and paste to turn it back into a table so your could do some different pivot or crosstab analysis. With Power Query, you don't need to because the transformation can be done it quite easily and quickly.

Add a 3D Image or Animated 3D Image in PowerPoint
The latest versions of PowerPoint (PowerPoint 2019 or the Office / Microsoft 365) give some neat 3D model images for you to use. They're visually appealing and if used in the right way will give your presentation some added effect. The neat things is that the image can be manually moved around in it's three dimensional space so you can give the audience a specific focal point to the image. The other cool thing is having the 3D image move with the inclusion of a library of animated 3D models.

Use Wildcards to Lookup and Sum Up Values

Sure you could try to pull out that looked up value into another column and then use it to help with the lookup process to perform the calculation, but that would be more steps. You could actually use a wildcard to help out in this situation to match the looked up values and then perform your sums. Click on the video to see what I'm talking about.
