While it's a cool project it cannot be compared to Sheets Query as long as Excel doesn't implement array expanding formulas (out-puting an array from a single cell formula).

PowerQuery is a very powerful tool for ETL is also not comparable as it's not natively integrated into Excel and still acts as an external component. [ex-Excel FTE here)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! I am in awe. Thank God. I can barely contain my enthusiasm.

I literally wrote a "SUPERLOOKUP" formula in VBA that would apply SORT and UNIQUE but making the range dynamic would require an XLL which is a beast I never had time to tame as a hobbyist... this is a dream come true. My eyes are literally watery. Wow.
