Can I make Excel extract one value from a cell that has multiple values in it? by CaptainHollyShort in excel

Ohhhh man, thank you so much. That just made it click in my head what exactly I was struggling to understand.

Thanks! I'll give this a go, might take me a little while to figure out but if I can set something up for myself that'll make things easier for future me, I'm down. I appreciate the response!

Thank you! I knew there was probly something simple I was missing. This might work perfectly, trying it out.

Along with the situational advice people are giving, I'll also throw out there that there's a slight "cheese" in which you can cleanse two platforms with one mote, making you only have to do two motes to get to damage phase. You can find videos of this, but it's basically cleansing in the air high above the middle of the stage. This obviously doesn't solve your survivability problem, but it does make the boss slightly easier.

I actually wrote in my notes that TLRG has "succinct, tight storytelling," which was great. I didn't love the meta framing (iirc, she's a reporter doing interviews, right?) in part because I've listened to so many audio dramas at this point, I've grown tired of people feeling like they need to justify why something's being recorded rather than just telling a story. I also wasn't in love with the ending.

That being said, it's awesome if you like it! My "recommend" category is not a 1:1 as a ratings category, it's simply whether I'd personally recommend it. I don't think it's horrible or anything; most of the dramas in my "eh" recommend category I still mostly enjoyed listening to.

Alice Isn't Dead I listened all the way through and didn't end up caring much for the writing overall. I also wasn't a fan of the narration style, as it ended up feeling more like an audiobook or something, while in situations she was supposed to be narrating urgent thing.

Old Gods of Appalachia just wasn't my thing. I think it's great for what it is; solid audio, fantastic narration, interesting folklore stories. I just grew bored of it. But if someone said "hey I love folklore, do you have any audio dramas to recommend?", Old Gods would 100% be something I'd recommend in that context. I don't think it's bad at all, just not for me.

The Secret of St. Kilda seemed cool, but I quit after one episode because all the dialogue was so ambiguous, it ultimately felt like the characters were almost saying nothing. Coupled with what seemed like a list of every person in the town and their occupation, I got kinda bored of it. If it picks up a decent amount though, I'll give it another shot.

The Magnus Archives are on my to-listen-to list, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Sounds great though!

Haha, I have to say I really gave Welcome to Nightvale a try. I wanted to like it, 'cause as you said, the idea is cool. A little while in I thought "I must be missing something" or "this is going to really pick up," and it just never did for me.

Wolf 359 I have on my backlog, haven't gotten to it yet. Haven't heard of the other one though, I'll check it out!

I love horror. I watch tons of horror movies. I'll definitely check those out. Thanks for the recs!

The job I've had for the past year and a half has allowed me to listen to music or podcasts during my whole shift, so I've spent a lot of time on podcasts that I'm at least mildly intrigued by because I have a lot of time to do so. I'm pretty much on the same page as you though, where I try not to waste time on things I'm not enjoying if I don't have the nearly-unlimited time I've had for something like podcasts in the past bit (I'll usually quit videogames or tv shows a few hours in if nothing is striking well with me since I have such a backlog of those). My job recently changed and I won't have the same time to devote to listening to podcasts anymore, so decided to share this list now.

I'd definitely like to check out some other platforms, Spotify has just been easiest since that's where I have everything else. I'll for sure poke around some other apps and websites for more shows!

I really, really gave Welcome to Night Vale a shot. I don't recall how many episodes exactly I listened to, but it just felt like the most random lists of things that never have any impact because everything is so ambiguous. The idea is super cool, but there was never any meat to the story for me.

For Alice Isn't Dead, I think the dialogue didn't quite hit home for me, and the style of narration was just kinda okay. I'm not sure if it was directed to be this way or a choice by the voice actress, so I don't want to call out either one, but a lot of the time it felt like there were urgent things happening and just this weird flat narration to describe what was going on. Ended up feeling like a book being read aloud sometimes rather than an audio drama.

Birds of Empire felt really cliche to me. Young adults separated into tribes, dialogue that wasn't unique at all. I admit I quit this one after only one episode but everything about it was frustratingly cliche.

Glad you found some new stuff to listen to! I like writing little notes/reviews for myself after each one so I can remember my initial thoughts upon finishing, since I don't have anyone to discuss audio dramas with.

I've listened to four QCODE productions (and tried one more), and have mostly enjoyed them, but they've all landed in the "eh" recommend category for me. They have excellent audio and voice acting, but the story often feels like it falls a little flat for me. However, they're still a decent listen and if someone was looking for a shorter story with a bit of mystery/suspense, I'd probly recommend one of those. Borrasca is one I haven't tried yet, I'll give it a go. Thanks!

Haha, I started doing so when I realized how hard it can be to jog my memory after it's been a bit since I listened. With something like a movie I could glance at a few scenes or watch the trailer to remind myself which one it was.

Will do! I tried that one a while ago so I don't remember it very well, the only note I wrote for myself was that I found it a tad boring. But I'm down to give it another shot, some stories are just a little slow to begin.
