How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

Quite easily. One approach that should work:

SQL: 
DLookup("Nz([item],[Item secondary description])", "master", "vocab='" & vocab & "'")

As long as secondary is never null, I guess?
