Guest account management should be a part of every Microsoft 365 tenant administrator’s checklist, unless the tenant has no guests. That’s possible but given the way that workloads like Teams and SharePoint Online create new guest accounts, the average tenant is likely to have quite a few guests. The question is how to manage guests – with Microsoft’s tools or using tenant-designed PowerShell scripts? https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/18/guest-account-management/8Views0likes0CommentsExcel Formula Help
Hi everyone, i am needing help pulling data from one sheet to another. The "DATA" tab is a bunch of data that is pulled from a Microsoft forms survey and i copy and paste it in the sheet. Once i copy and past the data i want all the other sheets to pull this data into its perspective tab. On the "DATA" tab in coloumn G is the district and each district has a different column for the module. So MRD districts module is column I, SLRD districts module is Column J, SBRD districts module is column K and so on. What i would is when data is pasted i want MRD ABC123 to pull the data from the "DATA" sheet onto this tab but it has to meet the 2 criterias. 1st criteria for the "MRD ABC123" tab is the Job Code in Column F on the "DATA" tab has to match ABC123 and the District column G in the "DATA" tab has to match MRD and then pull that data from the row on the "DATA" tab into the perspective columns on the "MRD ABC123" tab. Im just looking for a formula that will work for each column on the "MRD ABC123" tab to pull the data from the "DATA" tab. i have tried Index Match, Xlookup, and Filter functions but i know im doing something wrong. Any help would be amazing. thank you.71Views1like6CommentsOneDrive Personal file path to Power Query
Hi, To get a file from Onedrive Personal to Power Query there was a method that used to work, and I used it few times successfully (video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsL77ddhXoYbasically works with the path generated by the Embed option). However, this method doesn't work anymore as Onedrive changed something and the path generated is not the same, thus Power Query cannot identify the generated and altered path. Any idea how to work with the new generated path? Regards, Ayal Telem.319Views0likes4CommentsIssues using Quick Import to create a multiple choice quiz
Hi, I'm having issues using the Quick Import option in Forms to create a multiple-choice quiz. It doesn't seem to matter how I format my Word document; when I use the quick import option, it dumps all the questions/ answers into one section. This is the Word doc format I am using. Any suggestions where I am going wrong?25Views0likes1CommentVisible Margins
As a heavy user of Publisher I am learning my way through Word in view of the upcoming cancelation of Publisher. One of the first things to strike me is the inability to make margins visible. Anyone found a way? I have tried text boundaries but it does not really help. I know Word is not a graphics package but I do not see much else within Office 365. A pity there is not another MS product to fill the gap! Or is there?Solved80Views0likes4CommentsMarkup Panel appearing with every word document. Comments column now in some weird thing.
Good day, I am so confused I do not even know how to explain all the issues. 1) Opened a word document today that I closed yesterday. Opens up with some thing called a Markup Panel. Go to review and select no markup. Fine for now, but then appears every time I reopen the document, and all other documents. 2) Up until today, my comments were nicely formatted in a column on the right side of the screen. Now they are in some thing called a "reviewing panel" which is terribly formatted and located in the wrong place until I drag to to the right side. Is this something I have caused or some Word Update (God, I hope it is not the latter.) 3) Also, the little indicators next to the lines where the comments are located are no longer present, so the only way I know there is a comment on that line is by clicking on the comment in the stupid "reviewing panel" How do I get back to what I had yesterday? Thanks so much for your help. DaveSolved60Views0likes2CommentsHow to add 3 months to existing date mergefield in Word
I'm looking for a way to add 3 months on from an existing mergefield date («Calculation Date») in Word. Say the starting date is 16 September 2025 we'd want the new value to be shown as 16 December 2025. I cannot do this calculation in Excel as the mergefield data comes from a database and I have not used Macros etc before. Thanks22Views0likes1CommentCant access admin panel

More of a comment than anything else I have been a frequent flyer of Access since version 2.0. We used it almost daily for several years. I have since retired, and was away from it for a couple years now. However, due to a recent Office 365 account I started using again. One of the problems we had over the years with Access was on large data imports. This appears to be the same problem today as it was 30 years ago. Excel does not have this problem. Some of the same issues with Access "Does not recognize header name" Checking to insure header name was not a keyword and all rules were enforced, still did not allow the data to be imported. Since I needed to quickly turn around the information I had to link to an Excel file and run the queries. Pondering if MS has really done any improvments or serious upgrades with Access. I know programs cost resources to update. The other 3 Office apps have far more users than Access. I think Access is going to wither away within the next couple years. Was a great run when everything worked right. I have used a lot of different databases over the years. However, Access was the runt who was very user friendly and an awesome reports generator.37Views0likes1CommentEntra ID’s Keep Me Signed In Feature – Good or Bad?
The Entra ID Keep Me Signed In (KMSI) feature creates persistent authentication cookies to allow users to avoid sign-ins during browser sessions. Is this a good or bad thing and should Microsoft 365 tenants enable or disable KMSI. I think KMSI is fine in certain conditions and explain my logic in this article. Feel free to disagree! https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/17/kmsi-good-or-bad/Excel dominance
For many years I have been using Apache Software's Open Office spreadsheets (".ods"). When I opened one today, Excel in Read-Only mode appeared. It said that to add to or edit the existing content, I would have to purchase Microsoft 365. That is "restricting competition" in law. I do not know how this has happened. How can I delete the Excel program permanently because it reappears when I reboot my computer?Solved57Views0likes1Commentvlookup issue
