How to unlink cells in Format Control
I am developing a survey in excel (because the questions are complicated and long and do not format well in e.g. MS Forms) and using option buttons to choose responses. Each question has 6 potential responses. In developer I have inserted a group box, into which I placed 6 option buttons. After formatting the buttons so that they snap to the excel grid I then linked them to a cell to make calculating responses easier. On-line advice then suggested that I could copy and paste these to each new question. However, by doing this, I am only able to choose 1 option as they are ALL linked to the same cell. How do I unlink each group box of 6 option buttons so that I can link each group individually to a different cell for each question? Or - do I have to create a group box and option boxes from scratch for each question set? I have removed the questions for simplicity of view (note that there are 6 in Q1 and Q2 not visible) and highlighted the linked cell from Q1. As you can see - for Q5 this has given an answer of 26 (the 26th option button) rather than 2 (the 2nd button in Q5)RMSFeb 09, 2026Occasional Reader72Views0likes4CommentsTop n vs. Others in Excel
Hi all, I'm seeking some help because I'm kind of new to the more intermediate stuff in Excel. I have an Excel table with the following columns: Subcategory in column A, Brand in column B, Region in column C, Year in column D and Values Month in column E. I want to create a PivotTable and a Pivot line chart from this PivotTable that ranks the Top 5 Brands vs. Other Competitors by each region. For added context: There are 5 subcategories, 3 regions and 25 brands. Currently, I've tried grouping the remaining 20 brands as "Other Competitors" vs. the Top 5 brands within a selected region and possibly all regions (when no selection is made). I'm seeking a solution similar to this... Please mind the colours. I will sort those out later. But, the problem that I'm faced with is that upon selection of a region, the PivotTable won't update to the Top 5 brands of a selected region because they've already been grouped. How can I make this more dynamic so that I'm able to show The Top 5 brands vs. Others? Please help. EDIT: My operating system is Windows 10 (64-bit) and I use Excel 365 (Desktop version). For reference, I've attached a link to a sample file. https://1drv.ms/x/c/b2d878e32a062614/IQC1wcnwLICcQasOfnGcwKn0ASjpXp9xQ6rjnOP10Jal5cc?e=HaXEWd Thank you all once again.SolvedAnonymous29007Feb 09, 2026Brass Contributor690Views2likes28CommentsExcel XIRR fails in Desktop & Online — ATP not binding, cloud profile corruption
I need help from the Excel engineering team. My Microsoft 365 account appears to have a corrupted Analysis ToolPak (ATP) function binding for XIRR at the cloud profile level. Symptoms: - =XIRR({-100,110},{1,2}) returns a long fallback constant instead of 0.1 - GET.CELL reports XIRR as invalid - Excel Online produces the same incorrect fallback value - Desktop Excel produces the same incorrect fallback value - A brand-new Windows user profile produces the same result - A full uninstall/reinstall does not fix it - ATP is enabled and ANALYS32.XLL is present - No Name Manager overrides, no LAMBDA overrides, no VBA, no add-ins - Dates are valid Excel serial numbers - All local Office registry keys, Feature Store, and activation tokens were wiped and rebuilt - Excel is fully activated and licensed - The issue persists across all environments Because Excel Online returns the same fallback constant, this is clearly not a local machine issue. It appears to be a cloud-side Excel profile corruption, specifically the ATP function registry for my Microsoft 365 account. Request: Please escalate this to the Excel service engineering team to reset/rebuild my Excel Online profile and ATP function map for my account. Thank you.

Hello! The title might be a little confusing. Here's the situation. I manage uniforms for my team. I am making a SharePoint list and form that an employee will use to request the uniforms. Then, to give me a digestible table that shows me exactly what I need, I have an Excel Power Query pulling the list in. On the form, instead of having a different entry for each polo in each color, each size, and each cut, I have it separated so that you pick cut, sizing, and color separately. Is there a way to have Power Query pull it to show me, for the screenshot example: Female L Red Polo: 2 Female L Blue Polo: 2 Male M Red Polo: 3 Male M Blue Polo: 1 Male M Tan Polo: 2 So on, and so forth. Is this possible? Thank you!jeasterFeb 07, 2026Copper Contributor206Views0likes3CommentsFormula help

So; I want the highlighted info from sheets 1-4 to pull through to sheet 5 (product name and number required) if the number required is >0 Hopefully that makes sense - can anyone tell me how to do this?kayemFeb 07, 2026Copper Contributor142Views0likes5CommentsStacked Excel Formula
Hello everyone. I've spent the past 2-3 hours trying to figure this out on my own without luck. What I'm needing is a formula that will check D11 (highlighted) to make sure that it's within the parameters listed below it (<17), then I need it to do the same for H11 and I11 (highlighted) and enter the number (1-3) that are not "equal to or greater/less than" into K11. K11 reflects how many samples in Row 11 that are outside of those parameters. I'm trying to make this worksheet more automated and this is the one thing that I cant figure out. Example 1: (all numbers are within parameters, so a 0 is entered into column K) Example 2: (column G is not within the parameters, therefor there is 1 entry in column K)tsbarton70Feb 06, 2026Copper Contributor161Views0likes2CommentsExcel AND Formula displaying FALSE when it should be TRUE
I'm doing the CENGAGE Excel Assignment 2. I'm supposed to use the AND Formula like this: AND([Project Type]="Drama",[Approved?]="No" in the newly created "Delay?" column. But all the results are FALSE even when both conditions are met. Can someone explain to me why the logic is not adding up?SolvedJaedenFeb 06, 2026Copper Contributor190Views0likes2Comments
