Today I had hundreds of users, including me being admin, being furious beyond imagination for following change which the last "slow ring" office brought along: You open a document from a network drive, my documents or desktop. You click "save as", and instead of defaulting to the path where the original document came from it defaults to onedrive. Every time. The amount of tickets from users missing their files they just saved is enormous. Since Winword 2.0 and Excel 3.0, both from 1991 where I used them the first time, the default of "save as" was always where the original file opened came from. How can we restore this original behaviour? We do NOT want to be Save-AS defaulting to a fixed place, like "my documents", we want the original behaviour, which we had over 30 years now, back. Can this be achieved? If you know please tell. We have to keep OneDrive, as optional save to place, just not as the default for any document. To us this is the single worst most expensive and time consuming change ever Microsoft has done to Office. On top it is a data protection law issue.Solved12KViews1like12CommentsSpreadsheet views on Co-authored Spreadsheets
Me and my colleagues have a shared spreadsheet which is co-authored, we have an account handler column which we can filter by our own initials to be able to view just our clients on the spreadsheet. The issue I'm having is often the default view is changing to a view with just one of my colleagues with the initials SD showing for all the rest of us. Would anyone know how to stop this happening, I have had this issue for months. Kind Regards96Views0likes1CommentFile Attachments

I need help. I have attached the sheet I'm working on. I need to pull the data in column B (CLIENT) from the MAIN sheet to the respective individual sheet based on column E (PREPPER). For example, if the data in B4 says 'Jason Smith' and E4 says 'Jon'; I need it to go to the JON sheet in cell B4 but not show up on sheets JANE or MARLA. Help please!! Thank you! :)Solved200Views0likes5CommentsChecking for Value in Cell and returning all Values from corresponding row?
Hey there ! Just need some help with organising information from one central Sheet into various other Sheets (in this case - a Sheet for each month of the year). I have information coming in from a Microsoft Form that has a column for what month the Participant filled the Form in and I am hoping to create a Sheet for each month that will only contain the responses for that month (e.g. all July responses in the July Sheet - August responses in the August Sheet, etc). I was trying with a formula that looked like this: =XLOOKUP("August", 'MainSheet'!$B$2:$B$1000, 'MainSheet'!$A$2:$K$1000) - where B is the column containing the month and A-K contains all information. My problem is that this will only ever return the first response that contains August because it is searching the same set of data chronologically but I am looking for a formula that will find the first instance of August - return that row - then find the next instance - return that row and so on and so forth ! Hope this makes sense :) and thank you for the help !!!Solved73Views0likes2CommentsSignificant Testing for a cross tabulated output

Help, please.245Views0likes12CommentsWhat causes an excel file to 'Show Print Preview' rather than show the preview by default.
I am curious what causes this to happen, I have already set the print area etc., but for some reason I don't get an immediate preview when going to print, I have to click this button inside the print preview. (I have also attached the full screenshot Doesn't seem to matter what settings I change so far, just curious what exactly causes this change in excel, I have many other documents that just bring up the preview straight away when going to print, but at the moment, this one particular file I have to click another button. I have a MS flow that converts excel files to pdf automatically after a review process, but it keeps failing on this one file and I can't figure out why, but I think the key revolves around this, so I really want to find out what causes excel to present an additional button that you have to click to generate a preview rather than showing the preview off the bat like it does with every other file which works fine in the flow. ThankyouSolved1KViews0likes6CommentsPreventing duplicate selections
Hi all! What I'm trying to do: Once a company is selected on one employee's sheet, it's removed from the dropdown lists on all the others, preventing duplicate selections. Background: I'm builidng a workbook with 18 sheets- one per employee. Each sheet has the same structure: column A contains a dropdown list of client companies, pulled from a master list on a separate sheet (Company List). When an employee selects a company, related contact info (name, phone, email) auto-fills using XLOOKUP. My setup so far: - The Company List sheet stores the master list of companies and contact info. - Dropdowns in each employee sheet (column A) are already pulling from that list. - Selection triggers auto-fill of contact details (working fine)91Views0likes2Comments
