Excel Community: Simplifying Spaces and Labels
Hi all, As you may have noticed already, we as the Excel Team have done a bit of "spring/summer cleaning" for the community. We have received feedback that the number of "spaces" was simply too many at nine, so we have pared things down. Now, there are three community spaces: Excel: this will be the primary place for posting content, as many of the old spaces have been migrated as labels will find a good home here BI and Data Analysis: this will be a good place for posting about tasks and questions that cut across Excel, Power BI, and other topics in this realm Resources and Community: this will increasingly become a place for folks to share sample files and templates with each other Q: What happened to the other spaces that used to exist? A: They have since been rolled up as "Labels", which you can find in the "More Resources" sidebar under "Labels" of any of the three spaces mentioned above. Look for these on the right side: Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks for reading!
How to limit "Forwarding" of a shared Excel Workbook
Hello, I am trying to understand if this is possible so please bear with me. I have shared access to my Workbook with an individual from another agency, which is working well. They in turn shared it to a coworker without my knowledge. Thankfully there is no inherit confidentiality concerns but it presented a problem. I never received an email about the "forwarding" and was only made aware when Individual A informed me they had shared it with their coworker. They did receive an email that it was "shared" but I did not. Can I limit who shares access to the workbook? The only permissions I am able to see that are changeable are "Edit" and "View" When I am using the word "forwarding", I am thinking of how you can forward a scheduled appointment in Outlook, which sends an email to the host, letting them know the meeting was forwarded. Thank you so much for your help.
Name Manager using for create name which is contain atleast two name.
Hello. I creating somthing in excel with tables. These tables has thier own name, and can be dynamic or not. Any way. I using list in cell to select each data from a tables column. For that I created names with the content of a column. Unfortunatly i had to make a kind of name which is contain atleast 2 columns. These can grow dynamicly. So I think a plus helper tabel is not the right sollution for that. I think about 3 kind of solution. 1. =UNIQUE( VSTACK( INDEX(Tabla1[#Data];0;MATCH("Type_name";Tabla1[#Headers];0)); INDEX(Tabla2[#Data];0;MATCH("Column_name";Tabla2[#Headers];0)) ) output #name? 2. =UNIQUE(VSTACK(Lista_A; Lista_B)) lista_A as a name output #name? 3. created a helper table with the existing names. Created another name and use the table in it. output was the elements contained by the helper tabel, and the lista_A and lista_B tables each dedicated column. So How can i create list for a cell or cells from two column which are dynamicly growing, without a user needs to touch the core modell? Best Balázs
Data Pulling
I'm trying to figure out the best way to pull data together from multiple tabs within an excel file. The file is made so that it can track issues within reports that are discovered. I'll try to break it down the best I can to explain what I have and what I'm trying to do. Within the file there are 5 tabs that are considered locations and they are named: LX, LV, CR, HR, FL Each tab is set up the same way with the only real important information in these columns of a table Column A - PCR Date Column C - PCR Owner Column G, I, K, M - Modification Category (1-4) these fields are actually drop down options from the Category Master List Within the file there is a 6th tab that has at able in it that is called Category Master List. Column A - Options for the dropdown in the above tab Modification Category columns Column B - Breakdown into one of three main categories (Billing, Compliance, Quality) Now this is what I'm trying to do: Fiscal Year Data (September 2025-August 2026) - I need to see how many times each of the dropdown options within the Master List show up in column G, I, K, M for each of the 5 location tabs. Monthly Data - I need to see how many times each of the dropdown options within the Master List show up in column G, I, K, M for each of the 5 location tabs along with how many times there is an entry with a date within that month. I would like to try and figure out how to put everything into one data table/chart type thing so it's easier to see and compare. Currently, everything needed is across a few different pivot tables and I would really like the data to pull itself automatically instead of me having to go in and copy all the data from one spot into another just to get the pivot results. Below is what I'm having to look at currently.An unhelpful Error Message
This is for the Microsoft folks who monitor this forum. I was attempting to respond to a question a few minutes ago and got the error message that appears at the bottom of this image. Note: I had not added any HTML myself. I had copied and pasted the items in the bulleted list, so it's possible that something carried over from Google...but in either case, that message -- how should I say it? -- contains invalid tech-speak. I was able to post the reply by eliminating the bullets, but those bullets had been added by, you guessed it, the forum's own software. Does the TechCommunity's left hand know what the TechCommunity's right hand is doing?
