In this challenge, we’ll take the principles from the previous example one step further. Here, in addition to simply defining functions, we are also CALLING a function: newFunction. function myFunction() { newFunction(); } function newFunction(){ } Note here that the first function, myFunction, calls newFunction. You can tell that it […]

In this final lesson, we will compile all the information we need into a new tab called “Merge data” and then we will send that out to all the students with the mail merge Add-on called Autocrat.Click here to view Example 9, then make a copy so you can play […]
In the last example, we used the functions INDEX and MATCH to reorient our data so that each student was listed on a single row with their peers assessments in columns to the right. If all of the groups were of equal size, we would be done manipulating the data. […]
