As a friendly reminder to all members of the Excel Community:

Please do not post any content that contains personally identifiable information (PII) or real customer data. This includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, account numbers, or any other data that could be used to identify an individual.

🔒 Protecting privacy is a shared responsibility.
If we suspect that any content contains real customer data, community administrators may remove it without warning to protect privacy and ensure compliance with our policies.

Per our Terms of Use :

  • You should only upload content that you have permission to share.
  • If you're sharing examples or screenshots, please use dummy or anonymized data.
  • Clearly indicate in your post that the data is fictitious or anonymized.

Let’s work together to keep the Microsoft Tech Community a safe, respectful, and productive space for everyone. If you find a post with content likely to be personal in it then please report the post using the cog in the top right corner.

Thank you for your cooperation!

    There have been a few people recently who appear to have had problems that prevented them from posting. Might I suggest you add the steps to post, for those who are new to the forum, to at least reduce the number of apparent failures.
