2 spacing after every full stop of a sentence
Hi, I believe the old norm is to have two spacing after the end of a sentence before starting a new sentence. But nowadays many people are using only one spacing. I need to try to make it a consistent way to follow. Is there an easy way to scan through all the document and make sure changes are applied to follow at least one norm.Solved25Views0likes1CommentFiltering an Array based on a list of Criteria
I have an array that tracks every project that every project manager, project engineer, and superintendent is on and I am trying to set up a function to search through a single list of names and return just their projects. The PM, PE, and SUP on the array all have their own columns since there can be 1 of each on a single project. and the list im pulling from is within a single separate column pulling on the names I select. I have had success pulling from one column at a time using a FILTER(ISNUMBER(MATCH)) function but I cant get it to search and return all values from all three columns. Any thought on how to expand the search? Thank you!Solved100Views0likes3CommentsFinding return value from multiple columns/cells with specific text
Hello, I have to verify multiple cells (C2 to F2) with two possible statuses: "Eligible" and "Not Eligible". In Excel, would it be possible to: If all cells "Eligible", then the result is "Passed". If any of the columns is "Not Eligible", then the result is "Failed". (additional issue) this is not super important but it would be helpful to add one more condition: if any of the columns is "Consult", then the result is "No Result". I'm fine if only the 1st and 2nd issue works, though. I have tried finding solutions in other discussions, but usually the formula that I copy-pasted keep showing "Passed" even if one of the documents is listed as "Not Eligible". Thanks in advance.

Hello All, OK let me describe what I am trying to do: I need to create a Task List. In this list I will have let’s say 200 tasks, and 50 people to perform these tasks. i need a way to assign the first task to the first person, then the second task to the second person, then the 3rd task to the 3rd person and so on until the first 50 tasks are assigned. then I need to assign the 51st task to the first person, the 52nd to the second person, and the 53rd task to the 3rd person until that batch of tasks and People are matched. but this is not linear, I may want to choose task 52 to person 3 because the 3rd task is related to the 52nd task. i can live without this feature and fine tune the list manually but the main question is how can I look up a name and match it to a task. i hope this makes sense to you, please ask for any clarification and i shall add that bit. thanks in advance… wassimSolved159Views0likes4CommentsApp-only authentication for unattended scripts in MicrosoftPlaces

Hi. I'm just using a very simple formula to calculate how much money is still due from an original total amount. The formula I have typed is simply in this format: 6000 -(B2-B8), but in the next again cell where I am looking to display the result, I am getting a SPILL error. The correct total is displayed in the cell, but a number of cells immediately below are displaying the "6000" figure!!

Over the years, I have developed a significant excel data sheet which has gotten slower and slower with time. I have discovered the idea of excel's data model this week and have learnt how to import the data I need from its source CSV to the data model and I now have a power pivot which looks like what I originally had in excel. What I would like to do next, is to replicate some of the formulae I had in excel to calculate if something should be counted or not. I would not want the red one to be counted as this row would have been counted in the previous month. In excel I was using the following formula- =IF(COUNTIF(B5:M4,">0"),SUM(Patient!B5:M5*0),Patient!N5) is there a way of achieving this with the data model or would I have to hardcode this into another sheet? I was trying to avoid doing this to minimise the number of formulae... Many thanks for your help...Solved181Views0likes7CommentsCan a font become 'corrupted,' and how to replace?
This refers to MS Word from Office 2019, running under Windows 10 Pro. I have a somewhat large (10MB) Word .docx I've been adding to as time permits. It has text, illustrations, pictures and captions for the pictures in text boxes. suddenly, when I open the file, some of the captions are garbled. The font I used is Arial 10pt, bold and regular. The bold is just fine, the regular is garbled. However, if I highlight the garbled text and change it to bold, italic or any other font, it appears just fine. Here is an example of what I'm talking about. First the .docx as it appears on my screen: Then if I highlight that garbled text and change it to Bold, or any other font, it looks good: If I change point size the problem persists. It's just Arial Regular that garbles, and only in this document, and . Other .docx files using that same font display fine. Also, I can take this file and open it on my other computer, which is running Office 2010 under Windows 10 Pro, and it opens properly. I do have Word programmed to embed non-system fonts in the document, so I'm assuming that Word is fetching Arial Regular to display when opening the file on this computer, and that my other computer maybe has a good Arial Regular installation, which is why it looks good there. Something else I just noticed, referring to the two screenshots that follow. Other 10pt. Arial Regular that was NOT in a text box seemed okay in this document. But on close examination, the kerning seemed a bit off. So I changed that non-text box text to another Helvetica-style font and it did look better, but then when I set it back to Arial, it was garbled too. So do I have a bad Arial Regular on this computer? If so, why don't other documents show this problem. And, most important, how do I fix it? Thanks in advance, and...

Hi! I have a need to add 1 year to the second to a date in Excel. For example: Start: 3/16/2026 4:06:28 PM MST End: 3/16/2027 4:06:28 PM MST I know that EDate can be used to easily add 1 year to the date portion of the datetime value, but that zeros out the time portion of the value. I'm thinking that I could extract the time portion of the starting datetime value, use EDate to add 1 year to the date portion, and then add the time portion back on. My Excel skills are a bit rusty, but I could probably figure that out. That being said, I'm hoping there is an easier way, like maybe a function that I'm not aware of that can handle it easily. I would prefer to do this without needing macros. What's the best way to add 1 year to the second to a datetime value in Excel?

Hi guys I was wondering if I could ask for a bit of help with a excel document I'm trying to create. I created a document that lets me enter sick days, annual leave days, late starts and early finish days along with overtime hours worked and I would like to create a pie chart that represents those days but for the life of me I can't work out how to do it. What I have is 1 overview sheet which shows the total view of the 12 months then I have 12 sheets 1 for each month which lists staff names along with the mentioned days off. The overview sheet takes the totals from the 12 months and lists them in a nice easy to read view. On the right side of the overview sheet I have another page where I have a drop down box to select the staffs name which then fills the boxes containing the mentioned days off coming from the overview page. I also have a number of working days being calculated from July 1 2025 minus listed public holidays and annual leave days we had during the christmas factory shutdown. This is where I would like the pie chart to be in the empty space below here. What I'm aiming for is to have the pie chart dynamically change based on name of the person selected from the drop down box. Ideally I would like the pie chart to represent the number of working days as the whole pie then sick days, annual leave days, late starts and early finishes as a piece of the pie along with the name of each pie section. The overtime hours worked doesn't need to be shown on the graph as thats just reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can upload the document as I created a temp file and changed the names so as not to break privacy rules. I don't see a place to attach the file though unless I have gone completely blind.

There are three data columns in the shared Excel file at the link below.

There are three data columns in the shared excel file - a Membership ID column formatted as text, a billing number in column Num formatted as text, and a FiscalYear column formatted as numbers. As I want to see the most recent fiscal year in the pivot table for each unique membership id, I added MAX of FiscalYear in the pivot table Value section. In the FiscalYear data column: There are no text entries. There are no blank cells in the column in the pivot table range. The formatting in the Value Field Settings for MAX of Fiscal Year is numeric. I have refreshed the pivot table. Yet I am seeing a zero for each Membership ID rather that the most recent fiscal year. Would you please explain why the Max of FiscalYear is not working correctly, and once I understand how to correct the problem, will the correction also work when I expand the pivot table range to reference the entire FiscalYear column rather than the column cell values in the first 29 rows?
