Macro to copy
Hello all you "Brilliant Minds" here is a chance to prove your "Excel-ence. I want to copy a value to one cell from the source which is random and as I haven't a clue about this stuff I asked Microsoft CoPilot. Being on the 4th version Where Microsoft excel still will not accept Microsoft CoPilot's creation, I am appealing to the Community. So here is your chance to prove that you are smarter than CoPilot. Here we go, everything but attach a file. If anyone is interested send me an email so I can send a couple of small files. DonaldCombine Similar Matching Rows Into One and Add Column Using Power Query
I have two data sources (XLSX and CSV) that have been loaded into Power Query, had transformations applied to them, and then merged based on the Asset and Path columns. Asset and Hits are a part of the CSV file and Title and Path are from the XLSX. The CSV file cuts off data after 35 characters so the cell might only contain partial information. There is also dirty data that has been cleaned up, resulting in duplicate row items, even though they are similar. See the example below: The two Assets are the same but because of the cut off and dirty data, they are listed as two different items. What I am trying to do is combine these duplicates into one row, with the Hits added together, so the merge finds the corresponding path. I tried to keep only the first 66 characters but there are other assets in this list that rely on the characters past 66 to be unique.

Best way to get rolling 12-month totals
I am using Excel for Mac version 16.102. I have data in a Table which is basically date, category & value. There are many other columns I use for filtering. I pivot this data to get totals by month within year but I hide the yearly totals and just have the grand total. My pivot table is filtered to include\remove high-level category data. I have a Timeline which allows me to select the date range of my pivot. I have a number of slicers to facilitate filtering to get the dataset totals I need. There maybe a better way but the above works. My ask is how do I go from the above to easily get a rolling 12-month totals for say Jan 24 - Dec 24, Feb 24 - Jan 25, Mar 24 - Feb 25 etc etc? I can move the timeline which gives me the correct answer but I'd like to be able to see the rolling totals for the last 12-months at a glance without having to keep moving the timeline. Eventually I'd like to graph the last 12-months so I can see movement over time. Can I do want I want with a pivotable or do I need another approach? Thank you for your help.How to Add a Loop Workspace to a Standard Teams Channel

Hello, I have the following sample data: The data from Column I onwards is in a different worksheet in the layout that you see above. I need to be able to bring in the July data as shown from Cols C to E. One easy way would be to concatenate the month with the Sector and Currency headings in rows 3 & 4. For example, JulyADRUSD and then do a nested xlookup to bring in July ADR USD Accounts Receivable information. However this would mean creating a new row for my concat field. Is there any other way we can fetch the required information? Hope you can point me in the right direction. Thank you.
Save Recent Font Color
Is there a way to save recent font colors so that they don't need to be selected with each new Word session? I use the deep blue color shown below constantly, and not just as cosmetic thing. That color has good contrast with other text and is easy for my eyes to pick up. I would just like it if I didn't have to go select it all the time. I'm hoping maybe there's a registry setting that will make that color automatically available in the below list, or maybe it can be made part of a template or something. Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer! --Tom

Automatically update document styles
So this might come across as daft, but I have an issue with style sheets and existing documents I'd have thought that selecting this option, when applying a style to an existing document, would force the document to adopt the styles defined in the DOTX. If I change a style on the orignal DOTX I'd have thought the changes would be reflected in the document. But it doesn't and it does not refresh the document to reflect the changes made. Am I doing something wrong here? If not, how can I force existing text for accept the new styles. ps - Re-editing the existing document context isn't an option because we've lots of documents covering some 630+ pages which we regularly update 4 times a year.
Page colour fill effects option missing
I am using version 16.101 of Word on MacOS 15.6.1 I want to set an image as the background of my document's pages, and have done so in the past by going to page colour<fill effects. Now I can't see that option anywhere in desptop or online. I can't use a watermark because I need the image to cover the whole page, not stopping at the margins. Does anyone know how to fix this?
