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.Why can't I post my reply to this thread

Anyone have any ideas? Thnx.
Chat with Copilot popup on every Excel launch
An ad for Copilot shows up every single time I open Excel. Clicking Not Now closes it, only for it to reopen again when I open Excel later. Is there any way to disable this or remember my selection each time? It is frustrating to have to deal with it all day long. I do not have a Copilot tab in File > Options. Optional connected experiences is already disabled. Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2511 Build 16.0.19426.20218) 64-bit Windows 11 Pro 25H2

Not Allowing Entries to be blank
I have a cell that is formatted for a date that will get updated by the user (F4 Below). And then column A is just copying that value all the way down. I want to prevent the information in column A from being deleted accidentally. It will likely be a hidden column, so accidentally deleting it is possible. I tried data validation and rules, and they worked in all cases except if they are deleted. How can I prevent A1 from being deleted, but still have the user be able to update the date in F4 and have A1 update.Simplifying cost calculation using array instead of IF statement
Hello, I am in the process of calculating the cost of refining precious metals based on user input of specific parameters. For example, if a certain dore intake of Silver has 90% Silver (Ag) content then lookup the specific processes and multiply the cost per oz with the intake ounces. I have attempted to combine IFS and Xlookup for each process separately but the formula looks very unwieldy. I am also enclosing a slightly simpler formula of IFS and sum where the total cost is calculated in one cell (Q12). Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hizmF6EwhxOPEeR10bXJsBOKeOtXude8/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=103354753371375324640&rtpof=true&sd=true I am looking to see if I can have a more dynamic iteration of the formula in Cell Q12 as well as in the calculation of the individual processes in Row 4 , Cols P:V. Thank you. Regards, Shams.Help with changing a formula
