MS Form Response Spreadsheet Formulas

- You should probably leave the table alone and use Data, Get Data to pull the results into a separate Excel file. Add your logic to that query.

The form was created from Excel for web so automatically updates with the responses. The raw data sheet is the Form sheet which I renamed. I essentially just want to leave the raw data as is so it doesn't get accidentally typed over or changed when people are working in the sheet.
Yes, it's better to keep raw data untouched and it's better to hide it from end users id you share with them that file. However, in general you don't need to copy raw data as it is into another sheet to make some calculations. Some could be added as additional columns with formulae to raw data, the rest, most probably aggregations, to do in separate sheet based on the table in raw data. Final sheet is reporting which you may keep opened for end users.
