Sheet Row Limit - Automation Recos / Suggestions

Lock a shared sheet into a standard format/setup

I have a large release plan and our users would benefit from using filters to pull out information specific to their department or the product they are assigned. My questions are if we teach everyone how to use filters, and someone saves the sheet with the filter turned on (but the filter is not shared), does the next…

VLOOKUP Lag In Updating
Hi all - I'm connecting two sheets via a VLOOKUP to get a value (Status). I'm seeing a 2+ min lag in the delay in the update of the VLOOKUP - which I've never seen before.
