sort 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 03, 2026Brass Contributor152Views0likes6CommentsForcing Gridlines to print through shaded cell formatting
I know how to force gridlines to print but if any cells are formatted with a fill shading in them, the gridlines will not print through them. Is there a way to print gridlines in formatted cells which are filled? No gridlines will print through the shaded cells.NastyMcSnertJun 03, 2026Copper Contributor21Views0likes1CommentPower Query Editor - Unpivot Multiple Delimited Columns

I have an Excel spreadsheet that keeps giving me the same issue with the formulas in column O. Originally, column O contained the following formula: Original formula: =IF(R4<>"", R4, Q4) + IF(ABS(I5-I4) < 30, 25/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 50, 40/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 150, 60/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 250, 80/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 300, 100/1440))))) The formula has since been updated to: Current formula: =IF(R4<>"", R4, Q4) + IF(ABS(I5-I4) < 30, 25/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 50, 40/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 150, 60/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 250, 80/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 300, 100/1440))))) + C5/24 However, whenever I insert a new row, Excel automatically fills it with the original formula instead of the updated one, even though I have been using the updated formula for quite some time now. How can I make Excel recognize and use the updated formula when new rows are inserted?anna8Jun 03, 2026Occasional Reader23Views0likes0CommentsExcel Ctrl + Up Arrow and Ctrl + Down Arrow Not Working
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 Contributor171KViews2likes23CommentsNames 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 Contributor82Views0likes1CommentCopilot icon missing in Excel Ribbon
