How to include all matching values in different rows using xlookup
Hi all, Need some help please. I am using "grouped name" as lookup value from another excel to get the email from this table. However xlookup only returns the first occurrence. How can I modify the formula so that =xlookup("123", "fx-Grouped Name", "Email") would pull all the emails not just the first one (email address removed for privacy reasons) please? Thank you for your support.MiaveJan 31, 2026Occasional Reader38Views0likes2CommentsDate/Data referencing
I am building a spreadsheet for work. My first sheet is an overview and my second sheet is my user input data. The idea is for me to input data everyday into the sheet (each day has a different row) and it automatically references that data in the overview page. I have made it reference the data for day 1 but I would like to be able to change the date on the overview page and have it automatically reference the date for that corresponding date on the input sheet.jdauzatJan 30, 2026Occasional Reader51Views0likes2CommentsCell drop list of workbook sheets
Hello Is there a way to have a drop list of all the sheets in a workbook in selected cells and the selected sheet from the list, populates other cells in the first sheet? I want to easily see what machines are connected to a list of RJ45 wall points. In the workbook, there is 1 sheet that has a list of wall point and each machine has its own sheet. Each machine sheet has lots of corresponding data that is not pertinent to the RJ45 wall point sheet. My goal is to select a cell next to a given wall point row in the RJ45 wall point sheet, that drops down a list of machines (that are all the machine sheets in the workbook). The dropdown list selection will populate pre-defined adjacent cells with corresponding data from the selected machine sheet. Each cell in the MACHINE NAME column has a drop down list of the sheet names to select from. Once a machine is selected, the hardware names and model columns that are on the same row are populated with the corresponding data on the machine sheet.lowdencaftJan 30, 2026Occasional Reader34Views0likes1CommentOpening a Word document from an Excel spreadsheet

Not super tech nor Excel savvy, so I'm having issues trying to put words on what I'm trying to do for a Google search. Basically, I have an Excel file with 3 sheets; one has a list of all my company's clients with their phone numbers, one has a list of 400+ of the clients from the first sheet and a third one has a list of 80 of those clients. I'm trying to extract my client's phone numbers from the first sheet to both the others. My clients have numbers that can range from 1234-0 to 123456-0. The "-0" part can only be "-0" or "-1", but the first part ranges from 4 to 6 various numbers. However, both Sheets 2 & 3 have the number as is, while Sheet 1 has the first part in a column and the "-0" or "-1" in another column. In short, on the tables below, I think I would need a fonction in sheet 2 & 3's "Phone Number" column which could compare Sheet 1's "Client Number" column with Sheet 2 & 3's "Client Number" and if it finds a partial match (because of the "-0" or "-1" difference) extracts the info in the corresponding "Phone Number" column to the empty "Phone Number" column on Sheet 2 & 3. Using Excel version 2511 if that's useful. Sheet 1 (Full list) : Client Number -0 / -1 Client Name Phone Number 123456 -1 Microsoft 1234567890 9876 -0 Apple 9876054321 Sheet 2 & 3 (Smaller lists) : Client Number Client Name Phone Number 123456-1 Microsoft 9876-0 AppleSolvedCRenaudJan 30, 2026Occasional Reader101Views0likes7CommentsConditional formatting for entire row based on data in one cell
I need all cells in a row to highlight a certain color if the data in one cell contains a specific word. What I specifically want is for an entire row to turn grey if the status cell contains the word "SHIPPED." I know how to make that specific cell highlight the color I want, but not the entire row of the sheet. Thank you for your help!SolvedAUSTXCHICKJan 30, 2026Copper Contributor3.7MViews9likes134CommentsDate entered is changed to a different date
This issue has just started as far as I can tell. On an existing worksheet with the column formated to "date" 01/01/2025 format - when I enter a date of 01/01/2025 as for an example and hit "enter", the date is changed to 10/29/70! If I enter a date of 01/19/2026 it is changed to 08/27/63! and so on,..... it changes the field every time. if I enter those same dates by physically entering 01 slash 19 slash 2026 slash it will stay as I typed it - and will look like 01/19/2026 (or 01 slash 01 slash 2025) My husband is able to create a spreadsheet on his laptop that works correctly. When he sent it to me, the date fields did what I have stated above. So there must be something corrupt on my laptop? or Excel? I am running on the latest build (to my knowledge) Anyone? I am at a loss.. When entering a lot of data and dates - this is a real PIA. Plus - it was working just fiine - not sure what has changed.

Hi (Excel 365 v2601 b19628.20132 Current Channel / Windows 11 25H2) Initial post edited (& cross posted here on Jan 29, 2026) after further investigations In B6 below an array that dynamically resizes according to the 'START Year' & 'TOPN Cat' variables. The Chart is setup as follow: Select an empty cell > Insert 2-D Line chart Right-click > Select Data… > Chart data range > Select the Serie names & Values (C6:G12) Click Edit under Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels > Select the range with the Years (B7:B12) Check of the Chart data range: Changing 'START Year' works no problem: the Chart data range & Horizonal Axis Label range are properly updated Changing 'TOPN Cat' (the array resizes horizontally) screws up the chart: The Chart data range is properly updated but the Series & Axis Label ranges don't update accordingly Q: Am I doing something wrong, facing a limitation or is this something else? Tried to attach the sample file 3 times... it's available at: Dynamic_Chart_Challenge.xlsx Thanks & any question let me know Lz.LorenzoJan 30, 2026Silver Contributor161Views1like0Comments
