MISSING FUNCTIONS THAT I PREVIOUSLY HAD ACCESS TO
I just switched macbooks and opened my excel to discover I had a few missing functions: MAXIFS, SEQUENCE. This is not a problem regarding the software as mine is MICROSOFT365 and I used the same account previously. Is there any way I can gain these functions back! Thank you!

How to change the password of a workbook in Excel for Microsoft 365
Hello, I want to use a stronger password for an (entire) Excel file (i.e., a workbook) than the one I installed a year ago. I am aware of these articles: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/protection-and-security-in-excel-be0b34db-8cb6-44dd-a673-0b3e3475ac2d https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/protect-an-excel-file-7359d4ae-7213-4ac2-b058-f75e9311b599 I need to remove the first password for the workbook, and then enter the new password. For some reason, it doesn't work as outlined in the article. Any idea how I can do this? Thank you!Conditional formatting for a whole column, based on same-row-cells, but in one single rule
I need conditional formatting, where the color of the cell in column F is changed based on the value in the cell in column W in the same row: I have done it like this: The cell F119 changes colour to orange if this is true: =OG($W$119<>"x";$W$119<>"CNG") This works fine. But I have not been able to find a way to make one rule do this for the entire column. So I have set an individual rule for each cell in column F and I have 376 rows so far. When I need to change the rule, or troubleshoot the rule, this is not operable. Also a lot of the cells have been edited with copy-paste, and now the conditional formatting is all over the place 😒 I would prefer one single rule, that checks the cell in column W in each row, and changes the colour in cell F in the same row, if the conditions are true.
Counting non identical columns
Could anyone explain how to count how many, or remove non-identical entries there are in a set of columns? e.g. In this table, in lines 1- 4 column A and B are identical, but lines 5 - 9, column A is the same in each but column B has a different value in line 9 than in lines 6-8. I want to find a way to count lines 1-5 as one entry and lines 5 - 9 as two entries (i.e. same code in all five lines but different date in one of them.) so the number of unique entries is 3. Line A B 1 G123456 01/01/2026 2 G123456 01/01/2026 3 G123456 01/01/2026 4 G123456 01/01/2026 5 H123456 03/01/2026 6 H123456 03/01/2026 7 H123456 03/01/2026 8 H123456 03/01/2026 9 H123456 05/01/2026Excel changes multiple series colors at once
I have a simple X-Y chart with five series of markers, no lines. When I change the color of the markers on Series 5, Series 1 also changes to the same color, and when I change Series 1 back to the color it was, Series 5 also changes. It's like they've been linked somehow. Has anyone else seen this issue?
