Side load office add-in?
I've created an office.js add-in that I can test with debugging in VS Code. I have deployed it including the manifest to a web site, but now I can't find the option to add it to my Excel anymore, where has that option gone? I'm on Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2602 Build 16.0.19725.20126) 64-bit Thanks GJ
unpivot data and handle merged cells without using Power Query (Unpivot_Toolkit)
Hey, guys!! I’ve been working on a set of functional Excel Lambdas to solve a common headache: transforming "Wide" human-readable data into "Long" database formats without having to open Power Query every time. =UNPIVOT_PLUS(table, [no_of_cols], [no_of_headers], [attribute_names], [value_name], [remove_errors], [remove_blanks],[pad_blanks_with],[pad_errors_with]) Don’t worry about the full list, most use cases only require 5 arguments. I've included a table of default values at the end. Merged Cell Support: Automatically handles fill-down/fill-right logic for merged headers/columns. Bonus Helper: SPLIT_INJECT =SPLIT_INJECT(array, target_indices, delimiter, [ignore_empty], [match_mode], [pad_with]) It targets specific columns, splits them by a delimiter (like TEXTSPLIT), and expands the entire table horizontally while keeping all other columns perfectly stable. Optional arguments match TEXTSPLIT defaults. Feel free to tear this apart or adapt it for your own edge cases. I’d love to hear how you end up using it! You can grab both functions from my GitHub Gist https://gist.github.com/Medohh2120/f8553c149684e39bb499249e39f01017. Argument Description Default Behavior table The array or range of data to unpivot. Required argument (no default) [no_of_cols] Fixed left columns to keep as identifiers. 1 [no_of_headers] Top rows used as headers, handling merged cells. 1 [attribute_names] Header name for the unpivoted attributes . "Attribute" [value_name] Header name for the unpivoted values. "Value" [remove_errors] Excludes grid rows with formula errors. FALSE [remove_blanks] Removes grid empty cells and empty strings. TRUE [pad_blanks_with] Value to substitute for empty cells. Leaves cell blank [pad_errors_with] Value to substitute for errors. Leaves error as-is
File always corrupt
Anyone have the same problem with me? I use microsoft excel 365 on my mac. At the beginning everything alright, until i use formula and then save the file. When i want to re-open the file, the messagebox showed up "we found something wrong in your content...". It gives 2 option, yes and no. If i click no, the file wont open. If i click yes, the file open, the excel do the recovery, the file open but end up with all the formulas is gone, deleted by excel and just left the value. What should i do? Do the file can still be fixed?
Macros open server file hyperlinks in 2nd instance
Macros open server file hyperlinks in 2nd instance, preventing macros from seeing and interacting with the newly opened file. Manual clicking of hyperlink opens the files in the same instance as expected. Users with fresh login have no trouble with the macros opening the files in the same instance. Esoteric macro and/or Microsoft 365 Active Directory problem. Macros using hyperlink in a cell to .follow them to open. Then the next line is a sheet selection of a sheet in the new workbook. Error thrown because the new workbook is not visible to the macro and does not see the sheet name. This works for everyone everywhere. Including on fresh logins. Recently User1 started having the 2nd instance problem. I thought it was isolated and fixed it by removing and recreating his profile. Worked fine for a week. Then it came back. Then User2 logged in on the same machine had the issue. Then the next day User3 on a separate machine had the issue. All 3 users have no issues if they just use a clean login on a different machine. If you manually open all the necessary files, THEN run the macro, it still errors because when it tries to open the already-open-file, it gives the standard Read only Notify me Cancel dialogue. It says [self user] is using it and the file is locked. So is it even a macro problem or is it a server problem? Our server admin says it's not his problem and he has no idea what's happening and it's probably our crappy macros. Yes, our macros are crappy, recorded decades ago. But they work as expected except in these rare but spreading cases, seemingly due to some background environment development.
Excel not publishing OLE
Excel no longer publishes any OLE clipboard formats in build 16.0.19725.20078. Copying a cell and using Paste Special in Word/OneNote shows no “Paste Link” and no “Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object.” Only text/HTML/bitmap formats appear. This blocks creation of linked or embedded Excel objects. Issue is fully reproducible: new workbook, enter value, copy, open Word → Paste Special. Expected: Paste Link + Excel object formats. Actual: missing. Verified after full repair, reinstall, Safe Mode, new profile, add‑ins disabled. Excel→Excel copy works; Excel→external OLE formats do not. This appears to be a regression in the OLE clipboard publishing pipeline for this build family.Support for auto-filing sent emails
I am looking for a solution to this scenario in the New Outlook: I send tens of emails per day The sent emails are stored in the Sent Items folder I need to manually move each of them into the sub-folders in my Archive folder - e.g. one for support cases Is there any way to automate the step (3) - i.e. to automatically file the sent emails into the folders they belong to? The Classic Outlook had "When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder" which is not present in the New Outlook. Maybe the New Outlook should have something even more powerful? In addition to this feature, a button suggesting into which folder each message should be filed? Finally, the Outlook Rules are very powerful but they do not apply to the sent emails. Maybe time to generalize these?
#Connect Error in Excel for StockHistory Function
Evening, I am an O365 subscriber and am trying to set up an Excel sheet as a VAR template, and I wanted to populate my workbook with some historical data without uploading a CSV. Figured I would try out the StockHistory function. I keep getting "#connect" for my cells, and I am not sure why. I am not in developer mode, do not have any crazy add-ins, I am signed in, and connected to the internet. Do I need to be connected to a source? I am fairly new to learning about the StockHistory Function. Any thoughts on the matter are welcome. I tried all that I could from this site below: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-to-correct-a-connect-error-584f7de9-b238-480c-8e8f-de0ba2c1aac9

I am 365 admin and see quite often people rapport "all my mails are in deleted post - and I have done nothing" or similar What is the best practice to investigate that. I know in powershell I have made some auditsearches, where it rapports like softdelete, hardelete etc - but is there any more specific way proving that the user actually did in on his own ? - I know with retention policies it is hard delete - but just wondering what the best practice is like to prove to the user that this is the user. Just write that it is soft deleted and means user have done it, often the user think is not understandable
