Applied choices are literal cells H60:H66. Date cells contain daily Excel numbers; use a DATE formula or numeric date in the top bar. Current copies preserve actual formulas and number formats. Added source members or edited grouping definitions need this workshop to rebuild the fixed formula projection. Native files retain original four-field source/cache facts and actual range groups; desktop refresh/edit/save remains separately unverified.
