Excel text box overlay- what is it, how to remove?
I have this box that has somehow been inserted into my table. There are underlying cells and I can actually scroll right under this box and also access the cell underneath it. And I can type about 140 characters into this box. Deleting surrounding rows or columns does not affect the box, so it doesn't appear to be correlated to a specific cell. There is no context sensitive help when in the box and almost all normal excel functions are greyed out when I'm in it. Any help is appreciated.Filter Function or any Logic
Dear Experts, I have a data like below , Column "H" has rnti's , Column "F" has sfn which can range from 0~1023( and once 1023 it shall start again from 0) slots that can range from 0~9, each sfn(say 252) has slots(0~9), Column "J" is Sn( Sequence number) , In Output , I want like this, example for the rnti 384, column "B" = count of spdu-1 for the rnti=384, and so on How the spdu-1 counted? (spdu-x's are counted per rnti & per-rlcCtrlAckSn_ ,) as below for example for rnti==384, Thanks in Advance, I posted this earlier also , not sure why post got deleted somehow
Creating Formulas but not responding as expected.. Due to format of cell?
I have a large moderately complex workbook for forecasting / projecting a financial situation for next 30 years. It references data on multiple sheets. I'm using Accounting format, but I have removed / shifted the decimal places so it shows Custom for the format. It has been working fine, but yesterday when I attempted some changes, all of a sudden when I create a formula, even something as simple as =H36 or as simple IF statement, the cell remains empty or shows 0! I just tried something in some unused cells, where I did a simple =E31, which contains the value 12%. Three of the four cells show 12% the other $ 0. The three that show 12% were probably General to start, but now show percentage. The one that didn't show 12%, was Custom, from me using it previously to test thigs. I then formatted a blank cell Accounting and shifted decimals (sand it reacts the same way, and show $ 0, not 12%. What is going on? LOL E31 is manually entered 12% I entered =E31 in each of these cells below. (It won't let me use a table here...) They started as General. The one that doesn't show 12% was preformatted Accounting but with decimals shifted, so it shows Custom. The last one I formatted as Accounting without removing / shifting the decimals and it pulled in the 12%... I'm lost. What's gone whacky with the Custom format after shifting the decimals? It has been working fine. Thanks 12% 12% $ 0 12% 12% 12%
Pictures inserted in cells disappear after closing and reopening a workbook
Windows 11 Home, 23H2, 22631.4317 MS Office L T S C Professional Plus 2024, version 2408, Build 17932.20130 Example: After saving, closing and reopening workbook, this is the result: I have tried all of the generic troubleshooting, because I have seen multiple people experiencing this issue - none of them work. 1. Display options for workbook are all checked (for object, show all) 2. Pictures are embedded, not linked to locally stored files - otherwise I wouldn't be able to retain them in online platforms (e.g. opening in Excel from Android, once storing in One-drive). Even if they were linked somehow, original files were never moved. When I upload the very same workbook in One-drive and open through any online platform (via browser - Excel Online, on Android - Excel app / Office 365 app) pictures are showing as intended. Problem occurs only on desktop app. I have already tried to reinstall MS Office, clean install, all updates - problem persists. I do not want any workaround solutions like: - using VBA scripts, - or inserting pictures over cells. as this is a proper bug and shouldn't require advanced skills from casual users. Inserting pictures over cells and embedding them manually - change size to fit into cell, set Move and size with cells is just partial solution - pictures will stay after closing and reopening, but you cannot refer to them properly - e.g. I want to have a result of X LOOKUP to be a cell with Picture inserted into cell (doesn't return a picture in cell if picture is placed above cell - doesn't matter if it is set to Move and size with cells. X LOOKUP with pictures inserted in cells works perfectly until I close and reopen locally on desktop app ( #UNKNOWN! everywhere), but continues to work perfectly in before-mentioned "online" platforms - though I am a bit more advanced user and lot of stuff I do can only be done in desktop app - as soon as I want to make some more advanced actions, I need to go back to desktop and all I get is a bunch of #UNKNOWN! where Pictures inserted into cells are supposed to be. Please solve this bug - it is very frustrating - I have lost straight 12 hours of my life trying to solve it, but I am at my wit's end. Thank you very much for reply.
Data Reconciliation Assistance Needed – Time Range & Sum Matching
I have two sets of data that need to be reconciled. Specifically, I’m trying to identify which combinations of numbers from these datasets can sum up to a specific target value. Additionally, the reconciliation should only consider entries that fall within a defined time range—from approximately 8:00 AM on one day to 10:00 PM the following day. I’ve tried using Solver and Goal Seek, but the results don’t seem accurate. I also attempted using Microsoft Copilot, but the outcome still appears incorrect. Could you assist with identifying or generating the correct combinations based on the criteria above?
show a due date using data from multiple columns
I have a spreadsheet in excel, such as the Table 1 below. For the 5 Due Date columns, I have conditional formatting set up to format the cells. See Image 1 for a list of rules applied to all Due Date columns. I'd like for another table to populate, showing only columns, Laboratory ID, Description, and any column that is highlighted per the conditional formatting rules. For example, I'd like the return table to look something like Table 2. Table 1. populated in cells G9:N12 ID Description Due Date 1 Due Date 2 Due Date 3 Due Date 4 Due Date 5 Out of Service? 1234 Instrument 1 11/17/2025 N/A 1/31/2027 3/11/2026 11/17/2027 FALSE 1235 Instrument 2 1/14/2026 2/17/2026 3/31/2027 1/23/2026 12/29/2027 TRUE Table 2. Conditional formatting rules applied to cells I9:M12 This Week = White font color, Red fill This Month = Red font color, Light Red fill Next Month = Dark Yellow font color, yellow fill Table 2. If today is 11/10/2025, the table will display columns ID, Description, and only column show for due dates within This Week: ID Description Due Date 1 1234 Instrument 1 11/17/2025
Excel interprets dates 12 and lowers as months
Hi If I in any cell, without any adjustment of cell formatting, excel will interpret 15/8 as 15-aug, as it should but 4/8 is interpreted as 8-apr... Is there any way to get excel to interpret this consistently correct, that is dd/mm = dd-mmm and not "IF dd=≤12 then dd is mmm and mm=dd" which is insane?CANNOT OPEN THE SPECIFIED FILE with tel:-hyperlink
Hi, I have several "tel:" hyperlinks in a Excel sheet (xlsm). Yesterday, they sended the phone numbers to whatsapp. But today i become the errer:"CANNOT OPEN THE SPECIFIED FILE". I saved yesterday a xlsx file as xlsm, after the conversion, the links were still working. What goes wrong?Power Query - Large Data Set Question
Hello - I combined a handful of .xlsx files and there's about 5 million rows total. I'm trying to identify duplicate "project IDs" (the long strings below in rows 22-29), basically what this filter is showing is all of the project IDs that have 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. duplicates all the way through 14. That's exactly what I'm looking for, there's about 180k project IDs I was able to get. The problem is the project IDs that have 1 duplicate, which is the number 2 in this filter because I did a group by in power query by the project ID and it counts the number of matching rows it has, so 2 means it has 1 duplicate. When I filter on this it runs over the 1 million excel row limit, I was wondering if anybody had an idea of how I could get around this problem?
