    I genuinely believe this is the only revolutionary feature I’ve seen implemented in excel in the 30 years that I have been using it.

    There have been obviously lots of change but nothing like this, incrementally adding functions etc but this changes the type system like nothing else I’ve seen.

      I would say the replacement of the calculation engine with an array first engine with spill, and array functions was even more powerful.
