creating a separate tab for a common table
My question from a few days ago disappeared and I cannot locate it. I have created an Excel financial spreadsheet for myself that amasses all monthly data from my checking, investments, and credit cards. There are about 20 tabs including each month, each major account and others. Each monthly and account spreadsheets are identical. I created a table that has 3 column of data: Payee, account, and category which, in theory, auto update each spreadsheet. The downside to what I currently have is that every sheet needs an updated table which doesn't always work out to be complete. What I'd prefer is to have a separate tab in the spreadsheet that every tab could reference. I saw this once and know it can be done but, of course, I cannot find it. So, the question is, how can I get each month to find the separate tab (call it Ref or anything else) and input the appropriate data into the sheets? The current formula I am using for assigning the info is: =XLOOKUP(H14,Q:Q,S:S). The column reference are currently being used are because that's where they fit on each monthly spreadsheet. The data example is in the last row of the spreadsheet. All help is appreciated. Steve Backman💡 Building Future-Ready Skills: ESGTS and Microsoft Certifications
Hello everyone! I’m a lecturer at the Escola Superior de Gestão e Tecnologia de Santarém (ESGTS) in Portugal, and I’d like to thank Microsoft for the great work they’re doing with the Microsoft Learn for Educators (MSLE) program. We first heard about it in February 2025, when we started our onboarding process. The program immediately caught our attention because it offers two complementary learning paths, Microsoft Certifications and Microsoft Applied Skills, both of which align perfectly with the courses our School already teaches in Computer Science. The flexibility of these learning paths, some longer (Certifications) and others shorter (Applied Skills), along with multilingual support and hands-on labs through the Skillable platform, without students or teachers needing to use their own Azure credits, were key reasons why we decided to adopt the program. We’ve also seen growing interest in the topics covered by Microsoft certifications such as AI, AZ, DP, MS, and SC, among others. We quickly began training and certifying our teaching staff using the vouchers provided through the MSLE program, with the goal of soon extending this training to our students as well: In addition to our academic training, our School’s strategy also focuses on developing students’ skills using official vendor content. This effort led to our first in-person MSLE training session — AZ-900: Azure Fundamentals — held on June 11 and 12, 2025.

Microsoft office specialist courseware
Hello, Does anyone know what happened with the Microsoft Office specialist official courseware? A week ago, it was available on the instructor recourses page on Microsoft Learn, but right now I can't find it there. The OneDrive links aren't available too; it says that they have expired. Thank you!
Student portfolio in OneNote
Hi, greetings from a upper secondary school teacher in Denmark. Please advise if this is not the right forum for this post. If you give feedback in Edword, Teams rubrics, student Word-files and what-not, how do the students !and the teacher!) keep track of their feedback? I would like to create student portfolio's in OneNote where students can collect feedback from written assignments. I would like to hear other teachers' experience. I blogged a little about this in Danish: https://lektoren.dk/man-retter-da-ikke-i-danske-stile/ Thanks, LarsMicrosoft Education Tenant
Hi Could it be that the Microsoft Education Tenant is no longer in use and that all communication now goes through this new MSLE Community? Last year I had to select to be added to the Microsoft Education Team. So I got connected (I suppose) to the tenant with the name "Microsoft Education Tenant". Picture above from last year. At the moment I see only a very clean Teams: So if the Teams is no longer in use, could I or it be removed? If it's still being used, then I probabbly don't have correct access anymore. Thanks
