Bug Report
I noticed that Microsoft Edge freezes and lags in some parts of the screen, before synchronizing back to what the client was doing. It is exclusive to Microsoft Edge only, and temporary solutions are right-clicking on the affected area, or moving the window around. Confirmed that it is an isolated problem, as reinstalling windows is ineffective. Investigate this please, I appreciate it.How do I fix Microsoft Word unable to open?

This may be a silly question, I am using a vlookup to pull verbiage from another sheet in my workbook. I want to be able to edit the templated verbiage pulled into the sheet I am working on. Cell G16 has pulled the templated verbiage, but I would like to be able to add or edit the wording in this cell.

FIFO Logic - days in inventory excel
Hello, I am trying to create a system of arrays formulas to implement a Fifo logic in excel to calculate the days in inventory of each product batch. However after a couple of days working on this I have not found a solution using dynamic arrays ( I am not very familiar with scan/lambda functions yet). The main issue I am running into is the fact that same sale transactions might require selling quantities from more than a buy transaction. See below for more detail? Would someone be able to provide a dynamic array formula solution? Thank you very much in advance, Simone
Where can I raise a formal complaint regarding the MS Exam / Pearson Vue accomodations process?
I requested Exam Accomodations 24/10/2024. My exam accomodations were approved with the decision letter sent to me 29/10/2024. I took two exams without my accomodations in place due to timing contstraints and my training schedule. For the past two weeks I have been STRUGGLING to get exams booked via Pearson Vue because their call centre team were unable to identify that I have approved Accomodations in place, talking in circles answering the same questions, lising all of the information over and over, just to be told someone will call me back, afterwhich I hear nothing, or miss their call. After the missed call they followed up with an email asking for a better date and time for them to call me - I respond with a time the following day - which of course they do not act upon, because they take 2-3 working days to get to any new email, so by the time they do call again, I am once again unable to answer. I am currently sat on hold with them, for the umpteenth time, the call going on for over 50 minutes at this point, going through the same process. It is wholly IRONIC that MS Exam Accomodations exist to make the exams and certification programmes more accessible to those with difficulties and/or disabilities when the process to booking an exam WITH those accomodations has been infinitely more difficult and infuriating. Do better.MFB/Authenticator App Issues
Attempt #2 at posting this. Locked out of business account due to authenticator app not receiving verification requestion. Contacted support through personal account with no success was directed here. Can't find the first post I attempted so I'm making another will include more details as needed if this works this time.Conditional Access Policies not working as intended/expected
What I try to achieve: If $user signs in to office.com from their private/shared computer/tablet they should be logged out as soon as they close their browser to ensure nobody else can just re-open the browser and get into the session. To achieve that, we deployed the following CAP: This seems to do what we wanted. But sadly, it also does more, which we do not want: It signs off users in their active browser. So if someone uses e.g. outlook.office.com they will be signed out after a very random amount of time. So how do we get users signed off on closing the browser but keep them signed in UNTIL they close the browser?
