Excel crashes whenever file tab is clicked
I have been having a lot of issues with Excel on a vm that we use, and I cannot try and fix these issues due to not being able to click on the file tab. Whenever the file tab is clicked, excel freezes and if anything clicked again goes to not responding. I do not get anything from windows diagnostics. I have also reinstalled Office 365 several times and excel always has this issue. the VM is a 2019 data Center and excel is 32 bit. running in safe mode does nothing. Book.xltx or Sheet.xltx is not in the XLSTART folder, if it was, I would have to wait for plant downtime to restart the vm. Deleted the excel key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel, restarted excel and issue still persists.JimmyPeiskerJan 12, 2026Occasional Reader3Views0likes0CommentsFormula Help for Sorting
Hi all! I am looking to find a formula that will do a multitude of things. One is to sort a column of numbers by the last 2 digits of the values input but by a particular order such as 00-14, 15-29, 30-42. Secondly, once sorted by this grouping, I want to assign it to a particular department based on said sort (Dept 1, 2, 3 and so forth. I have attempted to use the VLookup formula that Google AI gave me to no avail. I received an error. Also with a IF formula and haven't been able to figure out how to make this work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!SolvedJenniL0211Jan 12, 2026Copper Contributor93Views0likes4Comments- jeason007Jan 09, 2026Copper Contributor53Views0likes1Comment
Want a formula result to update across Sheets?
I have figured out how to get a formula result to appear in multiple sheets. The formula for example that gets pasted into sheets references a result! I enter formula and (B5) is where the sum location of =sum(b1:b3) will be delivered' I create a new formula that will reference previous calculation label this in cell B7 =Aux!B5 I use =Aux!B5 where Aux is the sheet where all calculations take place and this result will want to appear in selected work sheets Then i select sheets (using Shift+ selected sheets) then in first sheet of selected sheets I select a location and paste V (value) i get the result across all selected tabs. Here is my question ! how do i get a location to update all worksheets with a value from a formula from sheet Aux? I want to be able to change the Value in Aux (sheet where all calculations occur), then have that new value appear where former locations were pasted the result. (this should put result in B22 Ex: i create a total =sum(B1:B3) (in A22 of the aux sheet ) that result i put in a new location with a new formula so new location ( B22) formula =aux!A22 It is this location that if i change a value in origional EX: b1 from 3 to 5 the result is updated in B22 but it will not update the sheets with =aux!B22 hope not to confusingSolvedCremeStoutJan 09, 2026Copper Contributor112Views0likes5CommentsExcel charts: revenue and margins over a time period
Hi all, I want a chart showing the development in revenue and margins over a period of three yrs. I want the revenue to be marked on the left hand x axis and margins to be marked on the right hand x axis (secondary axis). I can't quite get it to look the way I want. See the attached picture. What I want is for the margins (currently shown as lines across the three companies) to show as lines across each company over the time period. So basically one line across company A, one line across company B and one line across company C. Appreciate any help!

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I created an excel workbook for tracking fitness workouts, I record the data such as weight lifted, number of reps, and rest times between sets. I formatted the cells so they express your rest times in terms of minutes and seconds (I used the custom "H:MM" format of time option). But whenever I record the amount of time you spend during cardio exercise, the formatting gets COMPLETELY SCREWED UP because when I type 28:44 (28 minutes and 44 seconds) of cardio duration, it instantly turns into 4:44 (4 minutes and 44 seconds). But if I type 20:00 (20 minutes) of cardio duration, it stays as 20:00 (20 minutes) and it never turns into something else. Why do some of the numbers like 28:44 transform into a complete different number when I enter them? I uploaded 3 screenshots below to better express what I mean.

Hello, I would like to create a multi-tiered percentage-based bar chart based on the data found below (test data evidently). Column B and C add up to 100%, Column D and E add up to 100%, and lastly column F and G add up to 100%. I would like each set of variables to equate to 100% on the graph, as the source data is percentage based anyways, but all be organized in their own separate row on the graph underneath the employee name. I have included a diagram drawn in MS paint to portray the desired output (with an accompanying legend). Thanks in advance! Employee Name Number of Sales Made % Number of Sales Made from Other Competitors % Number of Calls Made % Number of Calls Made from Other Competitors % Number of Individual Employees % (always is 1) Number of competitor employees % John 28.57% 71.43% 30.00% 70.00% 16.67% 83.33% Stacy 41.67% 58.33% 38.71% 61.29% 20.00% 80.00% Richard 47.06% 52.94% 47.06% 52.94% 14.29% 85.71% Andy 42.31% 57.69% 40.48% 59.52% 10.00% 90.00%nkpJan 08, 2026Copper Contributor171Views0likes6CommentsIndex & Match Formula Not Working
In broad terms, I'm on sheet 2 and wanting to show the contents of a cell from sheet 1. Basically, I want whatever is in column C of sheet 1 for the row that has column A in Sheet 1 matching A2 in Sheet 2 AND also has column B in Sheet 1 matching A1 in Sheet 2. I want the contents of that cell to show in Sheet 2. I've made this formula, but clearly I'm missing something (names of sheets have been changed, as the actual ones are people's names): =INDEX('Sheet 1'!C:C,MATCH('Sheet 2'!A1,'Sheet 1'!B:B),MATCH('Sheet 2'!A2,'Sheet 1'!A:A)) Any help would be appreciated.DarkMooseJan 08, 2026Copper Contributor117Views0likes5Comments
