sort by column then by numbers in a row
HI all I have a table of results pictured here. Once the results are in, I sort the table by the Total Score Column. When we have a tie (as in line 3 & 4, I need to sort by who has the most highest score... so, who has the most 9 (equal here), then by most 8.5 (line 4 wins the tiebreaker, 4 over 2) Can I do this so it doesn't affect the order of the columns but just the rows involved.

Excel Find / Command-F crashing on Mac Tahoe (Office 2019 / Excel 16.78) – anyone else?
Excel Find / Command-F crashing on Mac Tahoe (Office 2019 / Excel 16.78) – anyone else? Mac mini + Tahoe 26.5. Excel 16.78 (Office Home & Student 2019). Problem started after recent Tahoe update. Classic Find is behaving badly and often crashes Excel. Workflow: click/select a column Edit → Find → Find… or Command-F search for text or email fragments (ex: "kristin" or part of an email) Excel may crash or Find becomes unusable Things already tried: full Excel reinstall blank workbook test new macOS test user Office container reset / plist tests preference resets same Tahoe version confirmed Upper-right Microsoft Search appears, but that is not equivalent to classic worksheet Find for email-column workflow. Question: Is this a known Tahoe / Excel 16.78 Find bug or Search-routing issue? Has anyone fixed this or seen it resolved with a newer Excel build or update?How to filter to include blanks without selecting blanks.....
Good Morning All, I have a spreadsheet on Excel Online version that people fill in for requesting PPE and it has drop down boxes so they can select what they need. The people filling it in are not the most knowledgeable with computers never mind Excel just FYI for context. When the spreadsheet gets filtered eg to show only the requests for Bob, it shows the items for Bob and then the row underneath is row 532 which is outside my data and therefore the drop down boxes do not show so when someone comes to fill it in they can't select what they want to order and just end up free typing which defeats the object and means things can get missed. I want to be able to filter the spreadsheet in any column EG Bob so it shows the items for Bob and then the next row is the next 'available' row which in this example would be row 23 but also people are filling this in daily so row 23 is not set. Tomorrow it will have more data in and the next 'available' row could be row 30 so obviously tomorrow I would like to be able to filter to Bob, see all of Bobs items and then the next row showing is row 30. This is a test doc: https://1drv.ms/x/c/15153d41767146da/IQDVK5iPAiw-SoUyrf9ciYdwAb76zwpiF-IAtr6ISry1KwQ?e=v4vo3C Hope that makes sense and hopefully I am not asking for the impossible! Many Thanks,

Excel 365: dd-mmm-yyyy now gives Sept instead of Sep — that breaks the documented format standard. Who thought this was a good idea? They linked it to the Unicode locale standard. But it violates the formatting of "mmm". Work arounds for USA locale format as [$-409]dd-mmm-yyyy → 05-Sep-2025 UK locale [$-809]dd-mmm-yyyy → 05-Sep-2025 AU [$-C09]dd-mmm-yyyy → 05-Sep-2025 NZ [$-1409]dd-mmm-yyyy → 05-Sep-2025 Problem is this is not portable. PLease can someone reach out to the devs and get this reverted? Formulas trying to pick out Sep & year from the string now will break.

Names in Excel Name Manager
I have a spreadsheet ( I will call it spreadsheet "A") driven by macros that creates a new worksheet each month. I am developing a second spreadsheet I will call it spreadsheet "B") that links to it for a monthly summary. I have given all the cells names that are to be linked. The issue I am dealing with is when a new monthly tab is created on "A", I want the links from "B" to be updated to the new month. The approach I am taking is to delete all of the names in "A" and recreate them for the new month. (The reason I want to delete the older names is because over time, the Names list would grow into a very large list of obsolete names). The problem I am encountering is that when a name is deleted, a dialog box appears that the user has to acknowledge that, Yes, I want to delete this name. I want to make this process transparent to the user. So, my question is: Can I delete a name without generating this dialog box?Formulas Not Calculating in Workbook
Hello, I have a very large workbook with many formulas across different sheets. I currently have this workbook set to manual calculations only. And it is saved in a Sharepoint Directory with autosave enabled. When the source data for this workbook is updated. None of the formulas are updating when 1. The Calculate Now button is pressed. 2. The workbook is set back to automatic calculation. 3. When the work book is manually saved and closed. I have noticed another issue. When I go to File > Options. The Options dialogue never appears. I am wondering if anyone else have experienced this issue, and if so have been able to successfully troubleshoot the problem?
