Question: How to add a new month to the existing bar chart? I have 3 rows. Oct 2025, April 2026, May 2026 The headings are: Month, Start Value, End Value, Change The bar chart has the 3 start values and then the 3 end values then the 3 change I added a 4th row and the formulas and they change values as they should.

Hi, I have a 3 column layout of text. In the third column, I need to insert a footnote.

Column formatted as h]:mm:ss defaults to AMPM time upon editing cell
In Excel, I have a list of minutes and seconds as a 'timer for separate tasks' function, but even after formatting the whole column as [h]:mm:ss it is still reading as AMPM time. I also tried formatting the column as h:mm:ss, no change. The minutes and seconds read correctly in the sheet, but when I make a mistake entering the minutes and seconds, and double click on a cell to edit, it reads as an AM/PM. I am on a Mac. Screenshots to show the issue:

Hi, currently I am using Excel to build a dashboard for asset management, in particular it is used to track how many items remain after someone borrow it for a particular date range. The data comes from MS Form and has been populated into Excel. I have cleaned up and transform the original data using Power Query and the final form of my data to build the dashboard look something like this. I wish the dashboard to be able to show the following part bracket in red, which represent the details of items being borrowed. Currently I am using pivot table as my solution, as you can observe above. Is there any idea or solution to enhance the overall look of the dashboard? Basically, what I want is instead of directly on the Excel grid, can this be turned into draggable table pane?
Conditional field code
Hi, I'm trying to create some conditional code as seen in the screenshot below: But when I update the field it just shows a field code saying STYLEREF I need it to insert the paragraph number from the referenced paragraph if it's above 0 and if it's zero I need it to not insert anything. Where it says "Error!*", I tried removing that and inserting "0" but this had no effect. I was wondering if someone could help me out? Thanks in advance.
