Is there any way to connect Planner tasks to OKRs or company goals?
We use Planner for task management, and there's no native way to tie a Planner task to a higher-level goal. I looked into Power Automate but the Planner connector doesnt have a field for "parent objective" or anything like that. Are other orgs just using spreadsheets for this? Feels like there should be a better way.

Send admin notifications on x number of messages from an email address
Hi, We're having a problem with a repeat spam/phishing offender that recycles email addresses from a particular domain. Because the email address is new it hasn't had a chance to be picked up by blacklists, so it doesn't get picked up as spam. We can't block on content, subject or sender because it all changes so for these campaigns we're relying on user reports to give us the heads up. We also can't block the domain because we receive legitimate email from the domain also. I'd like to change this so we can hit them before users notice and possibly whilst the spam campaign is in flight but I'm unsure as to how to go about it. Is there a rule or other setting I can configure which sends notifications to specific e-mail addresses if, say 100 emails were received from any email address (or from a specific domain?) within an hour, or 5 hours? I don't see how I can configure such a rule in mailflow rules so I'm guessing this might be somewhere else. There's an element of us likely being falsely alerted to marketing campaigns, but hopefully it's configurable enough that we can limit it down to only applying this against a specific sender domain, or adding a new custom mailflow rule which will lower the likelihood of false positives. Many thanks, - Lsward
Adding measures in a data model at a summary level - how ?
I'm probably not going to describe this very well - but here goes 🙂 I am new to data modeling and am trying to convert old files / pivot tables to new table design/data model structures and at the same time develop some new reports for key stakeholders. The attached file has a table (I know its not optimal in terms of structure - but way better than it was). This table (called Hours_New) collects employee time daily. The time is regular, ot or unpaid. It is also chargeable or non-chargeable (as determined by the column in the table titled SC & CD Combo. There are productivity targets (50% for labourers, 75% for other trades). What I want to be able to do is report the productivity % at various levels (Foreman, Trade, Time Period etc etc etc). When I build pivot tables to try and do this I'm not able to get the results presented as I want them - I've taken a couple of stabs at it, but the results are way too busy & I want to be able to highlight when targets are being missed (on both upper and lower ends). I'm sure its not all that tough to do but I'm spinning my wheels - grrr. The attached file has multiple tabs and I've trimmed the dataset down - its actually close to 500,000 rows and removed most of the other pivot tables not related to what I'm trying to do - any help would be most appreciated !!
Excel .xlsm files showing “We found a problem with some content” after saving
Hi everyone, Good day. I’m currently experiencing an issue with Microsoft Excel involving macro-enabled files (.xlsm) that contain VBA code and are stored in Microsoft OneDrive. Scenario: I open an .xlsm file (with VBA), make edits or even just open and save it. When I reopen the same file, I get the error:“We found a problem with some content… Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can?” Additional details: This issue started happening on April 15, 2026. Files created in 2023 were working before, but now they are no longer working even if I did not make any changes. The issue now happens consistently even without modifying the file. What I’ve tried: Opening and repairing the file Saving as a new file Checking OneDrive sync Has anyone encountered this issue recently, especially with OneDrive syncing and .xlsm files? Any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.
How do I get support with Authentication when it doesn't work?
I have a business 365 account but changed address and so my credit card payments stopped. However, I can't log in to my account because I have an authentication problem (my authentication app on iPhone is still working but the entry for this account has gone and there is a new one called "Microsoft Entra ID" but when I go to get the authentication code this "Entra ID" authenticator does not produce it). To get help from Microsoft it always asks for authentication. I would like to keep this account and start paying again but I can't find a way to get help to fix the authentication problem because raising a ticket or talking to an agent requires authentication.
