Worked case

The source query is in B2; try a formula in E2. Retired memory queries return #N/A. Unknown types return #VALUE!. Exact desktop coercion, locale and multi-cell argument behavior remain outside this exercise.

Native formulas recalculate against the destination Excel environment and can differ from the teaching profile. Frozen downloads retain this exercise’s typed values and errors. No worksheet count, model output or browser user agent is presented as a measured Excel environment.
