A button to transpose data into a destination table
Hi, I have a table filled with data that I need to be pasted into a final blank table but the destination table is larger than the original table. Also the data needs to be sorted by one column and the column order doesn't match. See image. This is a process that needs to be carried out by people with limited experience of excel or even computers, hence thinking that a button linked to a macro might be a solution, but open to any solutions! ThanksLost ability to create macros
Just tried to create a macro and have found that all the buttons on the macro console are greyed out. I've been editing macros in this file earlier but now all have disappeared and I can't do anything with the macro console. All set up in the trust centre ok. Any ideas?
Links from Word to pdf doc online not working
I I am suddenly unable to jump from a hyperlink in Word to a PDF on the internet. I insert a hyperlink in Word that points to the online PDF. When I click on the link I get a message stating "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page." I have checked my Default App settings, and Adobe acrobat reader is associated with file type "pdf," as well as "URL: adobe acrobat." I also went into "Manage Extensions" in Chrome and made sure to select "Allow access to file URLs" within the Adobe Acrobat extension to Chrome. I can paste the url into a search bar in my browser and that works fine, but not as a hyperlink from within the Word document. This has happened suddenly on my desktop and my laptop. Any idea what the problem is?
Impossible d'installer Windows 10 22h2
Bonjour, je n’arrive pas à mettre à jour Windows 10 vers la version 22H2. À chaque tentative, j’ai le message « Des problèmes se sont produits lors de l’installation de certaines mises à jour, mais nous réessaierons plus tard. » Mon PC a un processeur AMD Ryzen 7 1700, Windows 10 version 1909 installé sur SSD et aucun antivirus tiers actif. J’ai essayé le dépanneur Windows Update, redémarré le PC et vérifié la connexion Internet et l’espace disque, tout est OK. Je voudrais savoir comment forcer la mise à jour vers Windows 10 22H2 sans perdre mes fichiers ou s’il existe une autre méthode officielle via l’outil de mise à jour ou l’ISO. Merci pour votre aide.Python in Excel - not in toolbar
I have MS Excel (Current Channel) via an M365 - Business Premium license I have Python in Excel; I know this because if I type '=py' in a cell and hit tab I get a python cell with the green [py] box. However, I do not get the Python group in the Formula toolbar... why?? This grouping is supposed to have the 'Insert Python', 'Initialization', and 'Reset' controls in a grouping named Python. Subsequently, I have had to create a custom grouping with the relevant python controls added manually... What is the cause of the python controls missing from the Formula toolbar?

Hello, I have a Pivot Table where I use data slicers. A couple of the data fields are "Year" and "Month". When I updated the PT with data for October it treats the new data like it is November instead. I reviewed the following: I verified in the data that there was no incorrect month put in. So there is nowhere in the data where the "Year" = 2025, and the "Month" = "11". The data that was added to the table has the correct "Year" of 2025, and the correct "Month" of 10. I verified that the pivot table was set to view all months, which it is (there is data going back to Jan of 2024.). An additional filter is "Did we answer your question/concern?". This is set to No, and there were three "No's" in October. If I remove the data for October, then the PT removes the info showing for November. Including screenshots of the info. Does anyone have any idea why it is doing this?Mesh Toolkit Update – Questions about Unity, Code Customization & Timeline
Hi everyone, I just read the recent announcement about the Microsoft Mesh Toolkit being retired as of June 24th, 2025, and I have to say it came quite suddenly. According to the message, the toolkit will be replaced with a new in-app, no-code customization experience. I have a few important questions: 1. Will Unity still be supported? Many of us (including our team) rely on Unity for creating and publishing Mesh experiences. Will this integration continue to work, or is it being phased out along with the toolkit? 2. Will code-based customization (scripting, APIs, etc.) still be possible? Or is everything moving toward a purely no-code model? That would be unfortunate—custom scripting has been essential for our more complex experiences. 3. When can we expect the new tools to be available? Is there a timeline or preview we can test? And when will we be able to migrate/update our existing environments to the new system? We currently run several meetings and collaborative sessions in Mesh spaces, so this change has a big impact on us. A clear migration plan would really help us prepare. Looking forward to hearing from the team and from others in the same boat! Best regards
errore nel salvataggio di maschere ERRORE DEFINITO DELL'APPLICAZIONE O DALL'OGGETTO
Da qualche giorno, a seguito di aggiornamenti, non si riesce a creare maschere e report guidati con Access. Al momento del salvataggio della maschera, compare il messaggio ERRORE DEFINITO DELL'APPLICAZIONE O DALL'OGGETTO. Faccio presente che fino a 10 giorni fa funzionava tutto perfettamente. Ho anche provato a disinstallare e reinstallare il prodotto.Autocorrect "Replace text as you type" no longer working in comments
I'm a college English professor. I've been using MS Word's Reviewing features for years (decades?) to offer feedback on student essays. I mainly make bubble comments in the margins of the document (CMD-OPT-A or Insert > Comment). Until recently, my Autocorrect "Replace text as you type" feature was working in the comments (my fumbly fingers mistype things like "differnet" and I've even added some shortcuts like "dangmod" to "dangling modifier"). But as of maybe a few months ago, my comments no longer autocorrect. I haven't changed any settings, and the function works in the body text of the document. I have a 2023 Macbook Pro running Sequoia 15.7.1, and I'm using MS Word for Mac Version 16.101.3. Anybody have the solution for this? I've spent years training myself to use MS Word's Reviewing so I can be very efficient with my time (I know all the keyboard shortcuts, etc.), but if autocorrect no longer works, I'll probably just switch to Google Docs or something. Thanks for any help you can give.Automating Microsoft 365 with PowerShell Second Edition

Outlook (New) redicts to Microsoft Edge to access emails
After the recent 365 apps, a few users in our organization are experiencing an issue with accessing emails on the Microsoft Outlook (New). When we click on the Outook(New) icon and it opens and redirects to Edge window to access emails. I tried several troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue and submitted a case with Microsoft Support but not helpful so far. Anyone else experiencing the same problem ? Any suggestions or fix will be greatly appreciated. ThanksExcel font rendering blurry when zoomed out (Windows 11, Microsoft 365)
Hello Community, I’m experiencing an issue with Excel (Microsoft 365) on my new Windows 11 ASUS touchscreen laptop. The text in Excel becomes noticeably blurry when zooming out, but looks fine when zoomed in. This problem does not occur in other applications (like browsers) and did not happen on my older Windows 10 laptop running the same version of Excel. What I’ve tried so far (with Microsoft Support): • Tested in Safe Mode → still blurry • Checked ClearType text and confirmed scaling at 100% • Verified “Optimize for best appearance” is already set • Installed Office updates and restarted device • Disabled all add-ins • Disabled hardware acceleration in Excel • Updated graphics drivers and adjusted GPU scheduling • Removed second monitor → no change • Compared display settings and Excel files between devices • Checked Excel Options for missing settings (e.g., Hardware Graphics Acceleration toggle not visible) • Remote session with support agent confirmed the issue persists Observations: • Only affects Excel (not other apps) • Text looks fine when zoomed in, but blurry when zoomed out • Blurriness persists even after updates, safe mode, and driver changes • Same Excel version works fine on Windows 10 • Touchscreen and scaling differences were considered but ruled out Has anyone else experienced this issue with Excel on Windows 11 (especially on ASUS touchscreen devices)? Is this a known rendering limitation, or are there any reliable workarounds/fixes to improve text clarity when zooming out? Thanks in advance for any insights!
