I tried pasting a lambda in name manager but excel refused. I belive that it's because either it is too long (which it isnt) or it has too many optional parameters (8). Anyone knows why name manager will reject to paste my lambda? These are the parameters: =LAMBDA(array,slice1,[index1],[return_index_slice2],[index2],[return_index],[if_not_found],[logic],[headers],[function],LET(...))71Views1like4CommentsFormula/method to link the data/responses I get from my forms into a different table.
Hi everyone! I need help with a project that I'm creating. Im making use of Microsoft Forms in order to input certain information. I made use of branching since some answers depend on the previous choice. So moving on to my problem, I want my table2 to get the responses/data from the data table created by the forms. Table 2 Table of responses For reference for the spill error, here is the formula that I used. Any insights will help a lot. Thank you have a great day everyone.65Views0likes2CommentsLong Date Format Text Wrapping
I need my dates to be in the long date format: Monday, December 8, 2025 However, I also want that text to wrap. I do not want an really wide column for that date. I would like it to wrap at whatever point it wrap at when I adjust the column width. Simply choosing "wrap text" in the alignment section does not work. Any column width shorter than the amount of space needed for the entire date turns the date in that cell to pound signs. Heck, I'd be happy if I could even just shorten the column width and see only the beginning of the date. Though I would prefer it just adjusting like it does in every other column. I have tried work arounds like a custom date format where you force the second line to be part of the date - which it will do but the column width still must be as long as if it were in one long line or it still goes to pound signs. Is there a workaround that I can't find? Is this something that Microsoft could work on fixing in an upcoming app update? Because I have been suffering through this problem for years and would love for it to be fixed. (Also - I do not want to change the column to "text" - I want to be able to type in 12/9 and have it automatically change to Tuesday, December 9, 2025 for me. I am often changing dates or inserting dates and need it to be dynamic and not manually entered each time. (Thus the whole point of having the date format to begin with.)85Views0likes2CommentsNon-Consecutive Cell Referencing
Hi, folks. I'm attempting to create a spreadsheet that contains links from consecutive cells to consecutive cells in another worksheet that are separated by 5 intervening cells. I'll call the original consecutive spreadsheet "Orig" (for original). So, I know that if I put "='Orig'!A3" in cell B3 and then copy that down, it will update the relative formula consecutively, i.e. B3='Orig'!A3, B4='Orig'!A4, B5='Orig'!A5, B6='Orig'!A6.... that much I get. What I need to do is find a way to do the same thing, but to increase the resulting link.....so that if I copied the formula down column B I would get: B3='Orig'!A3, B8=Orig'!A4, B13='Orig'!A6', etc so that the new worksheet is moving down 5 cells relative to the Orig sheet consecutive order. I've read where someone used a formula using the INDIRECT function but that's beyond my beginner level. Many thanks, and merry Xmas to all!Solved225Views0likes17CommentsUsing mode with several criteria
Hello everyone! I'm currently treating some data before I send it to do some machine learning. I have the following data: id Ano mês data_inversa dia_semana horario uf br km municipio causa_acidente tipo_acidente classificacao_acidente fase_dia sentido_via condicao_metereologica tipo_pista tracado_via uso_solo ano pessoas mortos feridos_leves feridos_graves ilesos ignorados feridos veiculos And I created a new table to summarize this data for months instead of accidents, here are the columns: BR KM Ano Mês Clima (Moda) Tipo Pista Acidentes Veículos Ilesos Feridos Leves Feridos Graves Mortes Causa (Moda) Risco What I want to do is calculate the mode of condicao_metereologica for each combination of BR, KM, Ano and Mês. But I can't wrap my head around on how I could do this. Any help is appreciated!

Hi, I have created a Excel document for my department to use, I tried Excel App but due to the size of the Spreadsheet it kept freezing, as a result I switched it to use Excel through Web Browser. The sheet no longer freezes which is good. I do have another issue though.....I wanted multiple users to be able to access, edit the sheet at the same time so I did some research and Sheet View seemed to be the way forward. I created a Sheet view for each employee to use so when you go to View, Sheet View and click on the relevant person their work is updated, saved etc and this shouldn't affect others view. This is working in terms of people editing. The main issue now though is that despite following advice sometimes when someone changes a filter on their own sheet view it seems to change others view. My understanding was you can hide, filter etc within your own Sheet view but this doesn't seem to be the case.......PLEASE HELP!!!! My excel and computer Skills aren't excellent to please any simple advise would be great.207Views0likes4CommentsCell Color Change
Hello, Sorry if this has been answered or is super easy but I couldn't find how to do this so I figured I would ask here. Is there a way for me to have a cell be blue normally, but turn green when clicked, and then back to blue when clicked again? I am using a sheet to track weekly check-ins and want to have an easy at a glance way to tell if I did them by color, and set it with a single click. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I have the following file that has the Date field coming from a Red Hat Linux environment and comes into excel as a.csv extension. I saved the file as an excel workbook and am trying to evaluate a IF statement where the Date will be ignored if the date in the cell is >Nov 2025 or <April 2025. Even though I have changed the format in Column A to be a Date and custom format of "mmm yy" it is still not evaluating properly. I have gone ahead and created a test worksheet in this workbook and typed in sample dates and this time the IF statement evaluates correctly. How do I then either a) mass convert the native Date Column to a Date format or b) create a helper Column B pointing to Column A: (text(A2, "MMM YY"), copying and pasting as values and then changing it to Date format with custom date convention of mmm yy. Here is the link to the file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zYTGXGtvwCDWhhZp6yoDfnyH4zSDTYAk/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=103354753371375324640&rtpof=true&sd=true Is there a workaround to the Date column so that excel evaluates is as a true date (serial) data? Thank you. Regards, Shams.Solved41Views0likes1CommentExcel Tools for Network & Windows
Excel Tools for Network & Windows Some time ago I already shared an earlier version of this project. Since then, I have added several new features. These tools are based on functionalities that already exist in Windows and its associated software. I have consolidated them into a single Excel-based interface, allowing all tools to be executed directly from Excel. The files are free for private use. For business or enterprise environments, a more comprehensive toolbox can be developed, enabling direct support, repair, management, monitoring, and control of users and systems. Everything can be customized according to specific requirements — the scope depends solely on the desired functionality, time investment, and budget. I appreciate any positive feedback, suggestions, or constructive tips. If this project is not of interest to you, please feel free to ignore it. Thank you, and I wish everyone happy holidays.64Views1like2CommentsWorksheet tabs to include date from a cell
Hello , I have a worksheet with four tabs. Cell H1 in both tabs 1 and three contains a date. I would like to include that date in the tab name in the following format: for Tab 1 "AR - as of (the date in H1)" and for Tab 3 "AP - as of (the date in H1)". The dates in the tabs would update whenever the date in cell H1 is updated. I am using Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, version 2510, Build 19328.20178. Thank you for your assistance.120Views0likes4Comments
