MS Outlook app on Apple Watch SE
I have an Apple Watch SE (A2355) and the MS Outlook app cannot be installed on it anymore. It was an excellent way to access my work calendar on the go. The reason is that the OS version is 10.6 but 11 is needed. Is there a workaround or a fix for this? Note that I can't use Apple Calendar because my employer has disabled the Outlook calendar sharing function for security reasons.
Can't Install 365 on Mac Air Sequoia 15.7.1
I have a 2024 Mac Air with the latest Sequoia OS, 15.7.1. I am looking to replace MS Office Version 16.101 with MS 365. I have uninstalled 16.101 three times and then tried to install from the online MS 365 site three times, and each time I end up with the old Office 16.101, not 365. I have spent endless hours online and by phone with MS bots and personnel, and with the JustAsk technical "service" they referred me to (which was a waste of $45). No one has an explanation and they just keep telling me to uninstall and reinstall. There seems to be some technical incompatibility between 365 and my Mac, so when I go to download it feeds me 16.101 without explaining what that incompatibility might be. I'm not a techhead, but I have used Mac Airs for years and MS for decades without such problems. Has anyone else had such problems? Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.Replying to emails from M365 Outlook group
A problem I am stumped with, so I am reaching out for some help/guidance. One group wants to not have the emails going into their own inbox but manage and reply only from the group inbox itself (so they know the email has been processed by deleting it once replied). It worked OK to begin with and then some users couldn't reply, then more. Some still can. I have tried reindexing local copy, using browser instead of app & changing the send on behalf of permissions. Owner or member of group doesn't seem to make a difference. Error messages include "This message can't be sent because it no longer exists. It can only be discarded. Make sure you copy the contents of the message before you discard if you want to use them later." and "Couldn't send this message". Please see screenshots attached. My questions: 1: Is Outlook on M365 designed to allow users to reply from the group either as the "group" or as themselves? Information I found isn't clear. 2: If it is / can be - what can I do to make it work for all users? Thanks!Rules for Outlook (new) makes no sense.
I have tried now to use the new version of Outlook for both private and work use. Whenever I set up rules in classic Outlook, I always had to add a sound notification or for it to show me a desktop alert. Because if I have a rule that says "If I receive e-mail from person X, move to folder Y" I do not get a notification, and I risk missing them (which has happened a lot previously). Imagine my shock when I see that the new version of Outlook has dumbed down the rules significantly and restricted me to how I can use them. Is there a reason why we cannot add "show desktop alert" or for it to play a sound in the "actions" tab? I do not understand why this feature was removed, as well as removing auto archiving. I just don't understand why! Will the option for adding desktop alerts and for it to play sounds be added in the future?Effortless Time Tracking in Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot
How do you stay in the flow of work when tasks move across Teams, Outlook and now M365 Copilot? Many of us already collaborate and manage our day in these Microsoft 365 tools, but logging time often feels like something separate that interrupts our focus. With https://www.klynke.com/ time tracking stays right where your work happens. It runs inside Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot, creating one consistent and natural experience for logging hours without leaving your workflow. We shared more in our blog: https://www.klynke.com/post/log-time-in-teams-outlook-copilot, and were grateful that Microsoft featured our story in a Tech Community interview: Building Secure SaaS on Microsoft Cloud. A quick look under the hood Microsoft 365 SSO (Entra ID) – Employees sign in with their existing credentials Tenant-based storage and security – Data stays within your Microsoft 365 tenant, under IT control Native experience – Same workflow in Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot Simple reporting – Export to Excel, Power BI or dashboards How do you currently manage time tracking in Microsoft 365? Would having it built directly into Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot make a difference in your day? CTO at Klynke
power query/ dax measure , multiple conditions/ multiple answers
I have loaded multiple tables in power query table of revenue per category: category revenue EM01 86.000 EM02 68.000 EM03 93.000 EM04 87.000 EM05 6.000 EM06 96.000 EM07 87.000 EM08 54.000 table of share per category per accountmanager: employee accountmanager share accountmanager EM01 AM1 75% EM01 AM2 25% EM02 AM1 100% EM03 AM2 100% EM04 AM3 100% EM05 AM2 60% EM05 AM3 40% EM06 AM1 100% EM07 AM1 50% EM07 AM3 50% EM08 AM2 100% Note: in same cases (EM01, EM05, EM07) multiple accountmanagers are in charge for a category. Total of share per category is always 100%. How to organize in power query to connect both tables to get table of revenue per per category per accountmanager? Use measure? Which? Or other solution? Answer (in pivot table) should be: employee AM1 AM2 AM3 total EM01 64.500 21.500 - 86.000 EM02 68.000 - - 68.000 EM03 - 93.000 - 93.000 EM04 - - 87.000 87.000 EM05 - 3.600 2.400 6.000 EM06 96.000 - - 96.000 EM07 43.500 - 43.500 87.000 EM08 - 54.000 - 54.000

Filter Function or any Logic
Dear Experts, I have a data like below , Column "H" has rnti's , Column "F" has sfn which can range from 0~1023( and once 1023 it shall start again from 0) slots that can range from 0~9, each sfn(say 252) has slots(0~9), Column "J" is Sn( Sequence number) , In Output , I want like this, example for the rnti 384, column "B" = count of spdu-1 for the rnti=384, and so on How the spdu-1 counted? (spdu-x's are counted per rnti & per-rlcCtrlAckSn_ ,) as below for example for rnti==384, Thanks in Advance, I posted this earlier also , not sure why post got deleted somehowLeadership of Outlook Newsletter
I’m requesting the ability to become the full administrator of Outlook newsletters not just in my organization, but across Microsoft 365. I want to manage templates, delivery settings, analytics, and permissions. My goal is to have broader control over how newsletters are created, customized, and distributed. I’m passionate about communication and want to help shape how newsletters work in Outlook. Please consider adding a role or feature that allows users like me to take ownership and lead newsletter strategy across organizations. I’ve seen cases where people used newsletters to share inappropriate content, including profanity and offensive language. Without proper moderation tools, this can damage professional communication and create serious issues. I want to help prevent misuse by having the ability to moderate, approve, or restrict newsletter content before it’s sent. I also want to contribute to improving the overall design and performance of the newsletter experience, making it more intuitive, professional, and reliable. Giving users like me full control over Outlook newsletters would improve communication quality, prevent abuse, and empower responsible leadership across organizations. If exclusive admin control isn’t granted, at minimum there should be a designated Admin role because without clear ownership, misuse and poor communication will continue unchecked. I’m ready to take on that responsibility and help shape the future of Outlook newsletters.How to Create and Send an Outlook Newsletter
Outlook Newsletters is an app for the new Outlook and OWA that allows users to create and send good-looking newsletters to internal recipients. It’s an easy-to-use app created using components drawn from across the Microsoft 365 software toolbox that will be of interest to anyone who needs to send internal newsletters on a regular basis. https://office365itpros.com/2025/03/05/outlook-newsletters/

Feature Request: Please enhance Excel’s formula debugging tools to support dynamic arrays and LAMBDA. Current debugging is too limited. This request focuses on desktop Excel, where debugging tools are available today. While the Mac and Web versions currently lack debugging support, these features could eventually be extended cross‑platform. Desired capabilities include cell watch, breakpoints, context debugging for array elements, and richer error tracing. Desired capabilities include: Execution Control Formula Window: trace the execution of a formula, including pausing, stepping, run-to, and start-from-here controls. Breakpoint Window: set and remove breakpoints. Data Inspection & Manipulation Data Window: collapse or inspect specific elements in an intermediate or destination array. Data Manipulation: view and alter intermediate data values, particularly LAMBDA arguments. Data Watch: monitor selected intermediate values step-by-step throughout formula execution, with the ability to break when a specific value is reached. Cell Context Cell Watch: monitor specific destination cells within an array during formula evaluation. Context Debugging: click on a cell within a dynamic array to debug that element’s evaluation path. Rules & Formatting Conditional Format: load and debug the conditional format rules for the selected cell. Data Validation: load and debug the data validation rules for the selected cell. Error Tracing & Intelligence Richer Error Context: trace where and why a formula fails, e.g., provide an execution trace log. Copilot Integration: enhance formula formatting and interpret intermediate execution steps to provide insights into issues, optimization opportunities, and potential improvements. Interface Improvements Debugger Window: resize the debugger window and display fonts; enable and resize the formula, data, and breakpoint windows. These features would make debugging modern Excel formulas more intuitive, reduce trial-and-error, help users better understand conditional formatting and data validation, empower advanced users to fully leverage dynamic arrays and LAMBDA, and realize no-code applications using Excel — with Copilot providing intelligent insights along the way.
Advanced Formula Editor: converting functions Names into a module
I've written a group of complicated functions using the AFE in Excel Labs. They are stored in the Name Manager. I now realize it would have been better to write these using the Modules editor. Is there a way to export Lambdas from the list of Functions in the Names tab of the AFE, into a Module (not a vba module, a Module within AFE).
Excel help
Hello Excel Community. I would appreciate some help and support if possible with Excel. I am trying to set up a racking inspection check sheet, various aisles, bays and levels. The intention is to prioritise the severity of defects for repair/replace (Red, Amber and Green) with colour co-ordinated cell fill and record one of four types of defects against the earlier colour. Examples of defects would be, Upright, Beam, Crossbar and Pins. The first 3 defects could fall into all 3 repair priorities. Any support or guidance you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks ExampleHow to highlight duplicated sequential rows
I have a data like below sfn can range from 0~1023, and then again start with 0, slots can range from 0~19 I want to highlight the rows like below:- so, 331.12 is repeated in ROWS(4,5) so highlighted in Yellow, 331.13 is repeated in ROWS(6,7) so highlighted in Yellow and so on. if any Conditional formatting or anyother logic, by which we can highlight these data , would be helpful. Worksheet attached. Br, Anupam
I broke my spreadsheet dropdowns
Somehow, the dropdowns (data validation list) stopped working within my entire workbook. It is the "Weekly Schedule Planner" template that Excel offers. I added 2 additional picks to the list. Then I updated the conditional formatting to assign them specific colors. Somewhere in this process or perhaps accessing this shared file through M365 Copilot on my phone, the dropdown arrow on the cells is gone! The options are still there when using the formula box at the top, albeit only when I backspace first. I have tried everything I can think of to get the dropdown arrow to show, and it doesn't. The first column in the To do items as well as each day is set up with the list. I used Ctrl-G to make sure there wasn't an extra cell hiding somewhere, too. We will probably start fresh with a new file in 2026, so it's not the end of the world if I have to struggle through the next six weeks, but it might be. TIA for any advice that might fix this.
