Non-Consecutive Cell Referencing
Hi, folks. I'm attempting to create a spreadsheet that contains links from consecutive cells to consecutive cells in another worksheet that are separated by 5 intervening cells. I'll call the original consecutive spreadsheet "Orig" (for original). So, I know that if I put "='Orig'!A3" in cell B3 and then copy that down, it will update the relative formula consecutively, i.e. B3='Orig'!A3, B4='Orig'!A4, B5='Orig'!A5, B6='Orig'!A6.... that much I get. What I need to do is find a way to do the same thing, but to increase the resulting link.....so that if I copied the formula down column B I would get: B3='Orig'!A3, B8=Orig'!A4, B13='Orig'!A6', etc so that the new worksheet is moving down 5 cells relative to the Orig sheet consecutive order. I've read where someone used a formula using the INDIRECT function but that's beyond my beginner level. Many thanks, and merry Xmas to all!New in Excel for the web: Power Query Refresh & Data Source Settings for authenticated data sources
We’ve reached yet another milestone in Excel for the web: Power Query Refresh is now generally available for queries sourcing data from selected authenticated data sources. As we released the ability to refresh Power Query data from anonymous data sources (link), it was only a matter of time until we added the ability to refresh Power Query data from authenticated data sources, which are the majority of data sources used, and require users to enter credentials. This milestone also enables us to release Import with Copilot to Excel for the Web (following Win32 and Mac), as it relies on Power Query for refreshing data. Getting started These new functionalities are available to all users on Excel for the Web. See this support article for more information on Power Query data sources in Excel versions. efresh a data source in Excel for the web using Power Query Refreshing Power Query queries You can now refresh the Power Query queries in your workbook that source data from a selection of authenticated data sources: Select the Data tab > then choose Refresh All Open the Queries Pane > then select Refresh When you refresh a query, if authentication is needed, you can select the relevant method – anonymous, user and password, or your organizational account. For example, to refresh organizational data, select the respective method: Your user will be automatically identified (you can also switch it, if needed), so you can easily click “Connect” to continue the refresh process. The list of supported connectors includes: SharePoint* files (Excel workbooks, TXT, CSV, XML, JSON, PDF) SharePoint* folders SharePoint Online List SharePoint List SQL Server Database OData Feed Web API IBM Db2 Database PostgreSQL Database Azure SQL Database Azure Synapse Analytics Azure HDInsight (HDFS) Azure Blob Azure Table Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 1 Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 Azure Data Explorer Dataflows Dataverse Microsoft Exchange Online Dynamics 365 (Online) Salesforce Objects Salesforce Reports *SharePoint/OneDrive for work or school The refresh happens behind the scenes so you can keep editing the workbook while refreshing. Note: There is a limit for 1000 data source credentials. For example, if you connect to the same data source with 2 different users, it counts as 2.. Managing queries using Data Source Settings You can now view and manage data source credentials for the Power Query queries in your workbook using Data Source Settings: Select the Data tab > then choose 'Data Source Settings’. Choose between ‘Current Workbook’ and ‘Global Permissions’ to view and manage data sources credentials in the current workbook or across all workbooks, respectively. To delete the credentials stored for a data source, click on the ‘Delete’ button. To edit the credentials stored for a data source, click on the ‘Edit credentials’ button. In addition, we’re introducing a new functionality in Data Source Settings – authenticating to a data source that exists in the workbook from within the dialog: Select the Data tab > then choose ‘Data Source Settings’. Navigate to ‘Current Workbook’. Click on the ‘Add credentials’ button: What’s next? Future plans include releasing the full Power Query Editor experience to Excel for the Web. Feedback We hope you like this new addition to Excel and we’d love to hear what you think about it! Let us know by using the Feedback button in the top right corner in Excel - add #PowerQuery in your feedback so that we can find it easily. Want to know more about Excel for the web?

Insights from Copilot have stopped working for us
We're all licensed (verified) with M365 Copilot, and for about the last week, one of our workhorse intake forms has stopped working with regards to the "Insights from Copilot" feature. When we attempt to refresh the insights, it presents the message, "Your form has XX responses. Copilot is analyzing the data to provide insights.", then spins for about 30 seconds, and then presents the error, "The insights haven't been generated successfully. Please try again." We're syncing responses to an Excel workbook, and that seems fine, but after about a week these "insights" just started failing in this fashion. We've done basic troubleshooting like trying InPrivate browsing, cache clearing, and since we are only at about 100 responses for this particular small form we're not hitting any limits. Regardless, it's wedged stuck in this state. I reported it via the M365 Admin portal and received the usual "No issues found" reply. 🙄 Anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone actually use this feature? 😜

Excel toolbar format
Hello everyone, I personalized my toolbar with the shortcuts I use the most but the format of the icons varies quite a lot as shown on the picture above. Some icons are small and others are big. Is there any way to choose which ones are small and which ones are big? Or maybe make them all the same (small or big). Version is Microsoft Professional 2021 Thank you for your time
Sumifs with Custom Excel Data type from power Query and using dot notation
I am just experimenting with Custom Excel Data Types and dot notation. I was trying to come up with a equivalent to sumifs without any luck. In my example I use fake data and I am trying to summairze charges by team color and department Here is a drop box link to my spreadsheet Here is the expected outcome Yellow Red Green Purple Orange Red Feet 1,384,281 1,067,303 884,288 1,112,979 1,005,634 1,167,165 Hands 1,267,428 1,262,445 827,956 963,616 1,041,856 902,571 Hip 946,395 948,135 955,020 799,842 1,014,142 829,546 Knee 991,524 1,072,020 953,689 1,139,318 1,218,487 1,001,327 Spine 933,123 1,373,616 910,488 795,726 860,861 1,019,545Finding time duration between a start date & time with end date & time
Hi all! I'm looking for any formula or power query to calculate a total time duration within a day, given the start date, start time, end date, end time. Most of the dates will equal the same but there are some with the end date being the next day. I'd like to be able to exclude any overlaps as well. Currently, I have a large embedded IF formula: =IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$H5,$P4>=$H5,$P4<$P5,$H4<$H3),$P4-$H4,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$G4>$G3,$H4<$H3,$P4<$P3,$H4<$P3,$P4<$P5),$P4-$H4,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4>$H3,$H4>=$P3,$P4>$P3),$P4-$H4,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4=$P4),0,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4<=$P3),0,IF(AND($G4<$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4>$H4),($P4+1)-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$O4<$G5,$O4<$O5,$H4<$P3,$P4>$P3),$P4-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$G4>$G3,$H4>$H3,$P4>$P3,$H4>$P3),$P4-$H4,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$G4<$O5,$P4>$P3,$P4>$H5,$H4>$H3,$H4<$H5),0,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$O4=$G5,$H4<$P3,$P4>$H5,$P4>$P3,$P4>$P5,$P2>$P3),$P4-$P2,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4>$P3,$P4>$P5),$P4-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4>$P3,$H4<$H5,$P4<$P5),$P4-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$H5,$H4<$P3,$P4>$P3,$P4>$P5),$P4-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$O4=$G5,$H4<$P3,$P4>$H5,$P4>$P3),$P4-$P2,IF(AND(ISBLANK($O4),ISBLANK($P4)),0,IF(AND($G4<$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4<$H4),($P4+1)-$P3)))))))))))))))) This seems to work for the most part but there are a few that I just can't get. I also pulled up my query and started to enter in the time durations manually and it couldnt come up with anything automatic for me. There must be an easier way for me to do this other than trying to create an IF formula for each answer that turns up incorrect. I have a screen shot below.If calculation returns a negative number, then it needs to be a 0; 2nd part is to show Max number
1. For row 45, I have calculation for 30% of row 42 ex. =F42*.30. If the result is a negative number, then I would like it show a 0 instead of the negative number. 2. Next, for row 48, the result of =F9-F45 can be no greater than F9. So if it is greater than F9, then F9 is the highest number that it should show, in this case $281, but should still show values 0 up to the amount of F9. Thank you
