Be Consistent 3. Choose Good Names for Things 4. Write Dates as YYYY-MM-DD 5. No Empty Cells 6. Put Just One Thing in a Cell 7. Make it a Rectangle 8. Create a Data Dictionary 9. No Calculations in the Raw Data Files 10. Do Not Use Font Color or Highlighting as Data 11. Make Backups 12. Use Data Validation to Avoid Errors 13. Save the Data in Plain Text Files ABSTRACT Spreadsheets are widely used software tools for data entry, storage, analysis, and visualization. Focusing on the data entry and storage aspects, this article offers practical recommendations for organizing spreadsheet data to reduce errors and ease later analyses. The basic principles are: be consistent, write dates like YYYY-MM-DD, do not leave any cells empty, put just one thing in a cell, organize the data as a single rectangle (with subjects as rows and variables as columns, and with a single header row), create a data dictionary, do not include calculations in the raw data files, do not use font color or highlighting as data, choose good names for things, make backups, use data validation to avoid data entry errors, and save the data in plain text files.

The biggest "Aha!" for me was probably learning how to structure a SQL query, so that it makes sense with regards to the question asked.
CTEs are a great tool for that as well as table-valued functions.
Examples for that youtu.be/iJAQ8lA3DbI?... shorturl.at/hk0BN from way back.
About using SQL features rarely covered in trainings for creating data out of nothing and controlling how long it will take.

Is that a young Susan Sarandon in on the King of Gypsies page?
This was an entertaining read from a fellow Melbournite.

Could that be used to establish a specific base type for the array? And would the max. cardinality remain when used with set operations (union)?
Or could that be used as a test of βemptinessβ for other arrays?
This picture misses the point. This isn't how anyone experiences becoming a developer - at least I hope they don't.
Where's the early awe of "making the computer do what I want" and the delight of seing great architecture in process?
It's like a box of crayons without and idea for a picture.
Captain Future - The Comet
Nope.
It's pretty clear that the "community" party moved on.
SAP is not home for their own user/dev community (and hasn't been for a long time).
Like a restaurant that was "the place" once SCN is now just a shadow of what it used to be.
Even if there's no new "the place" yet, you'd not return to it.
This reads as if there was ongoing internal training/education on how to use newish products in βthe real worldβ. What consulting org would do something expensive like that?
Thanks! My thoughts exactly when I figured this out.
