XLOOKUP not working for multiple criteria
Hi all, I am setting up a workbook for boardgames played for someone and he wants to see the high score returned for each game. I have tried xlookup in multiple ways and have had no success. Here is an image of the first worksheet which shows the formula in the cell I have had no success in any form with xlookup so far. This is the worksheet I am referencing: Any suggestions or insights into what I am doing wrong will be appreciated here is the formula written out so you don't have to try and parse it from the image. =XLOOKUP(1, ([High Score]=GameStats[Score])*(GameStats[Board Game]=[Board Game])*(GameStats[Board / Scenario]=[Board / Scenario]),GameStats[Player],,0,1) Thank you for your help.

I am trying to format my data by either creating a table or conditional formatting. The data has a common Team ID number with different amount of players. If I create a table, this is what I get: What I really want is to group the team numbers together so it would look something like this: I've tried everything I can think of but the only thing I came up with is this formula =AND(LEN($B3)>0,MOD($Q3,2)=0), but this means that I have to drag the formula every time new teams join. Any suggestions?BaltaDMar 23, 2026Copper Contributor47Views0likes3CommentsPaper Size
I just got Microsoft 365 and wanted to print a document in Legal size paper, but that option is not available. I can do letter, index cards, envelops, etc., but not legal size. Where can I find it so I can add it to my choices?BaltaDMar 23, 2026Copper Contributor3.2KViews0likes18CommentsSimple property management system
I am developing a simple property management system that would calculate the remaining rent days from the last date of payment. i have design date column from K5:AT5 with headers as 31/03/2024, 30,04,2024 ..... 31/01/2026. the Tanents payment details are just below each date reference i.e. first client K6:AT6, ..... Last client K30:AT30. Now i need a formula that will check the latest payment to the right and reference it to date directly above it and substrate today's day from that date and return of the number of remaining days or due date.

Following problem: if the security policy "Disable all except digitally signed macros" is enabled in Excel, signed macros usually work, but sometimes they are simply disabled without any message and cannot be executed, even though the signature is valid. Have already tried the following: re-inserting the signature, recreating and recompiling the macros, saving the file in a different format – all without success. The signature in the macro is valid, but Excel blocks execution without any message. How can this problem be solved? Can i attach an affected file hier?SchütteMar 23, 2026Copper Contributor35Views0likes2CommentsIs it really impossible to break workbook protection?
Hi, I process personal data and need strict protection (GDPR). My raw data from a survey is copied to several worksheets in a workbook and the processed anonymous data (dashboards) is in other worksheets in the same workbook. Before sending the whole workbook with the visible dashboards to my customers I delete some of the raw data worksheets and hide others. After that I protect the structure of the workbook with a code. Now only the worksheets with the dashboards are visible. Will it at all be possible for my customers to break the protection and get access to the sensitive raw personal data or am I completely safe? Thanks in advance to your reply! Best regards PerSolvedperskovmandrasmussenMar 23, 2026Brass Contributor5.5KViews12likes22CommentsExcel - problem with columns
Good morning, I would like to know how to create/insert the ‘button’ that allows me to hide or show columns. If I am not mistaken, it should appear graphically as + or - above the group of columns in question. Thank you for your help.AlbertoMonteLemaMar 23, 2026Copper Contributor60Views0likes2CommentsPivot Table Elements
I'm looking for documentation that defines all of the various table elements for creating custom Pivot Table Styles. Some are pretty obvious (Whole Table, Header Row, Grand Total Row, etc.), but there are some that seem to have more complex settings. For instance, I applied a Fill format to "Row Subheading 2" and not only did it change the background color of the row, but it also added that background color to every other column. I do not want the columns colored, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Is there any documentation anywhere that explains all of the available Table Elements for creating/modifying an Excel PivotTable Style?? I want to know what each and every setting does so that I can get my PivotTable to look the way I want. Below is a snapshot of the first group of Style Settings. There are more, so I'm not just looking for those in this one snapshot. All help is greatly appreciated!Sings4FunMar 22, 2026Copper Contributor39Views0likes2Commentsmac Excel: can't select form Group Box
Hi, I'm using Excel 16.107 on a Mac. I have Developer mode enabled and placed form elements, including group boxes. What I've found is if I delete the text label for a group box, the group box then becomes impossible to select -- there's nothing to click on with my pointer. See attached. Any attempt merely selects the cell, not the group box. How can I select group boxes like this, so that I can delete it or edit its properties?SolvedmdelvecchioMar 22, 2026Copper Contributor81Views0likes2CommentsRecurring issue I'm experiencing with charts that are moved to a dedicated chart sheet.
This is also happening to my students in my Excel for Agriculture courses: they send me their assignments, and while the charts look perfectly fine in older versions of Excel, in my Excel 365 I cannot see them properly. As a test, I even opened files that were working perfectly just a week ago, and now my own charts appear exactly like the image I attached. Needless to say, these are not corrupted files, the data source is fully verified, and everything else is in order. The only workaround I found was to insert a new regular worksheet, move the charts to that sheet (where they display correctly), and then move them again to a new chart sheet. After doing that, they look fine again, just as before. Before anyone asks the obvious questions: I have written four Excel books and have been teaching Excel for Agriculture for 20 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this. I urgently need a solution. At this point, it makes no sense to keep paying for a Microsoft 365 subscription if this continues to happen. Please, if possible, translate any replies into Spanish. Thank you!Martin Aboaf Petit de MuratMar 22, 2026Copper Contributor26Views0likes1Comment
