Change in return of AVERAGE function - Mac Excel
I was puzzled that a spreadsheet I use daily generated an error today that had not existed in earlier versions. Attempts to confirm the validity of the spreadsheet functions by running prior versions that had previously run error free resulted in the same error. Eventually, it seems that the operation of the AVERAGE function has been changed in an Excel program update that was installed yesterday. Previously, if an AVERAGE function addressed a range of empty cells, it would return a zero value. Now it is returning the error #DIV/0! This is strange because the AVERAGE function will now return zero if the addressed range contains zeros rather than just being empty. Not sure if Microsoft intended this change or if the change might also apply to other functions. In muy case, I'm able to change my spreadsheet to provide for this but it would have been nice to have some warning.Multiple Inventory entries on the same item
Okay so I'm wondering if there is a way for excel to automatically advance to the next column when entering inventory data so if I need to make another entry on the same item I don't have to advance to the next cell myself. This would be helpful in streamlining inventory and making it foolproof when adding inventory to a specific item (without having to worry about deleting previously entered data). I'm hoping there is a way to do this so I can take a tablet when completing my inventory and avoid the old clipboard and paper.Variable "Connecting to Datasource" Load times
Hello, I am running into a strange issue that I am not sure how to solve. I am using Power Query to link to external Excel data files/Sheets and then I process the data within Power Query and also have some Macros that run after the data is refreshed. I am seeing a drastic difference in the amount of time it takes separate users to open/refresh this file (the users have the same internet connection, use the same link to the file on a Shared Drive on our servers, same Excel settings, and have the same hardware). Some users can load and run all Macros in < 15 seconds, while the others take > 10 minutes. I have exhausted all possible causes/reasons that I can think of and am looking for some guidance. Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Thanks, Skywalker_

Loss carry forward for limited years
Hello Excel Community, Excel Version: O365 (Enterprise) I’m running into a mental block trying to model loss carryforward with limited years using a spill formula. Below is a simplified example of what I’m trying to build a formula for. Rules: • A loss from any year can be carried forward for N years, after which it expires and can no longer be used. • In any year with a positive tax liability, if there is any remaining loss from the past N years, you deduct using a FIFO approach (oldest losses used first). • Any unclaimed balance from year N+1 expires, even if it hasn’t been fully used. I’ve found plenty of examples showing loss carryforward without expiration, but I’m struggling to build something that handles both FIFO and expiration in a dynamic array formula. I feel like this must be a solved problem and I’m just missing something obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Saved CSV opens with dates even when saved as text
Hi, New to the page, have a problem with a CSV file that has hyphenated numbers which turns into dates when opened after being saved as text. How do I make sure that the changes made in the columns stay as text so it doesn't revert back to date or custom format? I know this topic is talked about in this forum and I can change it to text when I open it but the issue is I have to upload it into accounting software and think that it is defaulting when I save the file. Have tried importing the data into a CSV file and that doesn't seem to work and also got some code from an AI platform to put into the Visual Basic program to try and stop it but didn't seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated. Brian 4-1000 Income 4-1025 Income Apr-00 IncomeHow do you respond to...
Hello my Excellers, I wish you all a happy new year full of great things. I have a question and I am not sure if this is a purely an Excel question or something else but maybe I start here and see how it goes: As you all may have noticed the AI craze is blooming like crazy. If you want to sell lettuce slap AI on its label and step back. I use Bing to search for VBA examples. For example I typed "excel vba code to find cells with formulas" and I get AI to find or "compose" a decent example that with minimal editing will work perfectly. But then at the end of the code and its explanation I sometimes find these kind of questions: "If you want to list the addresses of formula cells instead of highlighting them, I can give you a version that outputs them in the Immediate Window or a new sheet. Do you want me to provide that listing version as well?" How do you say YES I want that code that would list the addresses in a sheet? I see buttons like "Undo" rounded Left Arrow, or "Redo" rounded Right arrow, and a "Copy, "Export", and then "Tweak Content", "Rewrite" button, A "Testing Tools" dropdown with options like "Generate test data" and "Integrate test cases", and another dropdown called "More Actions" with options like "Perform code review", "Explain the code", "Add error handling", and "Make code compliable" and the last dropdown "Work Report" with its own options. But I do not see anything that would allow me to say YES I want that code that would list the addresses in a sheet? Thanks for any insight... GiGi
Display Last Value in Column when certain criteria match
Hello all, I am trying to find a way of displaying the last value in a column when certain criteria match... Criteria that need to match would be Design, Colour and Size, so the quantity column would populate with the latest stock quantity: Thanks all! Michael
