Fun with Calc Part 2

=IF(AND(EXACT(E491;E490);EXACT(F491;F490));D490;SUM(D490;1)) You (we) are in column D with our formula. If column E matches the line above, and column F matches the line above, then use the value in D, above. If they don't match, iterate up one. That took me way too long to figure out.

Looking for Dinner in Midtown

This is a puzzle that I have wished I'd solved before, one I know I'll have to solve it again, so I'm looking for suggestions. It goes about like this: our family is coming to town, and we're to join them for dinner someplace not too terribly far from their Broadway ...

Things I've been meaning to articulate, (and in Magstock Style, I invite you to vote for your favorite followup.) This morning, the woman who passed me on Jay Street and said something so huffy and with such a terse look on her face I that I heard "bitch, you suck" ...
