Sooner or later something will break: a refresh fails, months sort alphabetically, or a column suddenly goes empty. The good news is that almost every problem follows a few familiar patterns, and each one has a clear fix. In this lesson you learn to recognise the four most common symptoms, then fix one that is genuinely hidden in your practice files: the November file.
