I've looked through the other posts in the forum, but still cannot get this working in my Excel for some reason. Ctrl + left arrow or right arrow works, taking me to end of the horizontal data set, yet the ctrl + up arrow or down arrow is not working. Things I've already tried: I don't have scroll lock selected, either on the keyboard or on the onscreen keyboard. I've already enabled sticky keys from the control panel. I've disabled all add-ins. I've tried restarting Excel and restarting the computer. If anyone has any thoughts on the issue here it would be much appreciated.SolvedOLSD237Jun 03, 2026Copper Contributor171KViews2likes23Commentssort 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.pevendenJun 02, 2026Copper Contributor119Views0likes4CommentsNames 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?SolvedaekbusJun 02, 2026Brass Contributor73Views0likes1CommentCopilot icon missing in Excel Ribbon

Hello everyone, I want to perform a regression analysis on my survey data, but I keep getting this error message: “Regression - The RGP() function returns an error value. Check the input ranges.” I’ve since figured out that it’s due to a specific row, but I couldn’t find any incorrect numbers, letters, or anything else in it that would trigger this message. Does anyone know what might be causing this and how I can fix the problem? Thanks in advance!Charly3Jun 02, 2026Occasional Reader17Views0likes0CommentsWelcome to the Excel Community

Hi, I want to increase the column reference in a formula by 2 columns as it is copied across columns. So in Column A the formula is =SUM(D3:E3) When I fill this across Column B I want the formula to be =SUM(F3:G3) I have experimented with the INDEX and COLUMN functions but not been able to get the intended result.SolvedAndy2269Jun 01, 2026Copper Contributor36Views0likes2CommentsHow 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,SolvedNelly3007Jun 01, 2026Copper Contributor80Views0likes2Comments
