I have a RAR file that is password-protected, I have forgotten the password. I need to gain access to the contents of this file, but I am unable to do so without the correct password. I have tried various combinations of words and phrases that I commonly use as passwords, but none of them have worked. I am now at a loss for how to recover my RAR password since I am not an expert in RAR file management. Are there any tools or methods that I can use to recover RAR password? Update: I've managed to solve the issue with the Dr.RAR tool, the previously inaccessible RAR file was unlocked, providing access to its contents without compromising the integrity of the files inside. Highly recommend it to others facing similar challenges with forgotten RAR file passwords.100KViews47likes1CommentAnnouncing LAMBDA: Turn Excel formulas into custom functions

Currently you can set Office Theme to Black which acts as a dark mode. In Word, setting this to Black makes the page dark and the text white when it is set to “Automatic”. I was wondering if anyone had an idea if Microsoft is planning to release this same thing for Excel too? Right now Excel when using the dark theme makes everything dark except the cells. Which kind of makes no sense to me. This is where your eyes are most of the time. It needs to be a proper fully dark theme. Is there a way to get a full dark mode without manually setting the background color of the cells dark and the text white? Can a plugin be made to do that while keeping the actual cell background “empty” and the text “Automatic”? Is there already a plugin that does that? Thanks!421KViews26likes58CommentsAnnouncing Python in Excel: Combining the power of Python and the flexibility of Excel.
Since its inception, Microsoft Excel has changed how people organize, analyze, and visualize their data, providing a basis for decision-making for the millions of people who use it each day. Today we’re announcing a significant evolution in the analytical capabilities available within Excel by releasing a Public Preview of Python in Excel. Python in Excel makes it possible to natively combine Python and Excel analytics within the same workbook - with no setup required. With Python in Excel, you can type Python directly into a cell, the Python calculations run in the Microsoft Cloud, and your results are returned to the worksheet, including plots and visualizations.1.4MViews25likes160Comments
