Over at Reddit /r/excel LSatyreD asked about converting a massive grid of ingredients into their corresponding recipes.

In this video, I show how to do this without writing code!
In Excel 2016, Get & Transform and a pivot table will get the desired result. (In Excel 2010 and 2013, Power Query is the old name for Get & Transform)

Also, see that a new recipe can be integrated with a simple 'refresh.'
