Welcome to the Google Sheets Tips newsletter #337, your Monday morning espresso, in spreadsheet form! I'm sharing a simple pivot table trick today that's one of those hidden gems in spreadsheets. Once you know it, you'll never go back. Suppose you create a complex pivot table and you want to create a second version so you can try a different filter perhaps.

What a fantastic tournament, with drama in spades. Of course, I'm disappointed England didn't reach the final, but the I thoroughly enjoyed the ding-dong 6-4 third place playoff game against France. 🚴♂️ But, imho, there's an even better sporting spectacle happening in France at the moment:...
