Question I've been meaning to ask. Can historical lists be exported (not that part) & the data be transformed in power query into a pivot table or dashboard & refreshed after each race to give a better view of focus day to day, market to market?

Good morning MEMF. Do you include any track bias variables in your selection process.

Yes, I know. I have been following your creative work. I have three instances in operation today on this market, and about to launch a fourth.

Have a good day

1 out 1 on my tips.

Just out of interest does anyone know how to turn this one string of text, so that it alligns on the left and on the right so the percetantages line up as well as the trainer

In Excel you can't have the string aling left & right into one individual cell, you'd either have to split it or use a function that would pad on a load of white space after the trainer name. Would be quite a fiddly formula

Splitting would seem to be easiest ... split on occurrence of "(" and "trim" leading and trailing spaces out.

=Trim(left([cell ref],find("(",[cell ref]-1)))
and ...
=Right([cell ref],len([cell ref])-(find("(",[cell ref])-1))

How bad would it look if you just tried centring the text?
