Formula help - daily pay vs supplement monthly payments
Hi all, I have two sets of data for bonus calculations. SET ONE is in multiple rows by employee, e.g. the annual pay from 1 Jan to 31 Mar. Then 1 Apr to 31 Dec - when their pay has changed from 1 Apr onwards. And then a count of the number of days per row. I use this count to calculate the annual bonus. SET TWO is any annual supplement paid, by calendar month, that I need to split by days relevant to their pay in SET ONE and add to their salary for that period. So how can i take the data in SET TWO, and split by the same time period in SET ONE - and cut the Supp Amount and add to the Supplement Row column, thus updating the Total Paid column? I have 2k employees to calculate e.g. Thanks
How to separate non-indented number points from indented number points?
I'll explain. I have a document that's about fifty pages in length, with about 500 numbered points in total. The list randomly is dispersed going down, with some numbered points having no indentation while some have it (text down and to the right, down to the right and so on). It looks like this: Example 1 (Actual Layout): This Is An Example How The Document Is Listed Trying to sift through it all and sort the list manually is proving to be too time consuming. Trying to sort the lists alphabetically left all the indented text out of order with no way to figure out what numbered point it belonged to what. It looked something like this: Example 2 (Alphabetized Layout): An Document Example How Is Is Listed Of The This Is there any way to have it so word can separate Example 1's points, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and points 2 and 3 away from each other, creating two separate lists with all the indented numbered points all corresponding to the correct main indented point? Like this: Example Three (Desired Layout): This Is The Document Is Listed Is An Example How Thanks. Sorry for the length.Table Style - Top Left Cell

Thank youHow do I save an Excel Add-in (XLAM) file?
We had a new(er) version of Excel shoved on us and the result it it doens't do this, so we're sort of in a bad place. How do I save the add-in? We were probably on an old-ish version because it was stable and upgrades tend to break us - as they have here. I'm wondering how I save an add-in now. Right now our workflow is completely broken. When I go to File--> Save there is no xlam file type available now. I can still load an old xlam but I can't create a new one.
IS EXCHANGE 2016 HYBRID STILL SUPPORTED?
IS EXCHANGE 2016 HYBRID STILL SUPPORTED as of January 2026? Pls advise if this statement is correct: Exchange Server 2016 was supported for hybrid deployments with Exchange Online, but as of October 14, 2025, it is no longer supported by Microsoft, meaning no security updates, bug fixes, or technical support are provided. While hybrid prerequisites still technically list Exchange 2016, running it now carries security and compliance risks, and Microsoft recommends upgrading to a supported version such as Exchange Server Subscription Edition or moving fully to Exchange Online. Continuing to use Exchange 2016 in hybrid is possible, but unsupported, so for a secure and compliant hybrid setup, an upgrade or migration is strongly advised.Chart from dynamic array challenge
Hi (Excel 365 v2512 b19530.20144 Current Channel / Windows 11 25H2) Charts are definitively not my thing. Spent hours on the following, searching, testing… to no available The below chart data range is a dynamic array (could be wrong for the desired chart) - named GRAPH_Series on sheet GRAPH_Ranges - similar to the array on the left side of the pic. The arrays dynamically resize according to the 'START Year' & 'TOPN Cat' variables - so far so good Setting the Chart data range as =GRAPH_Ranges!GRAPH_Series and changing nothing else, the chart updates as expected according to 'START Year' & 'TOPN Cat'. On the other hand if I change anything in the Select Data Source dialog box the chart won't update properly anymore The expected chart is the same as above with 2020, 2021...2025 (instead of 1, 2,...6) horizontally & D, F, B, A as legend Thanks & any question please let me know Lz. EDIT: Cross posted here on Jan 29, 2026Distribution List & Security Group
I need a group that is a distribution list (so we can send emails to members of the group) & a security group (so I can assign the group to intune policies). How do I accomplish this? I don't want to just create the security group as our memebers don't like to go to groups in Outlook to check for email, they rather have it in their inbox... TIA, J
Exchange online retention policy
Hello, We are using Microsoft Purview to setup an Exchange retention policy through Data LIfecycle Management. We are wanting to do a gradual rollout, we don't want do apply it to everyone all at once. It looks like in the policy settings you can apply it to individual mailboxes. I'm wondering if we can instead setup a mail-enabled security group and add users to that for the policy to apply to them. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.
Color palette and Color picker not working inside the conditional format
Good morning, I am unable to use the colour picker or the "add colours" button to choose a colour inside the "conditional format" panel. It appears to be a window allowing for a choice, without selecting it, though. Best Regards.

Hello, I am the main technician for my company's service desk. We have a Bookings page, but any time anyone books a time slot, they receive a message indicating that they will receive a confirmation email, but no email comes to them. In the settings, it shows the checkbox to send a confirmation email is checked. I have also looked in Exchange Admin and run a message trace and cannot find any confirmation email sent to myself or other testers. In Bookings, I have unchecked the confirmation email checkbox, saved, checked, saved, and tested - same result. Additionally, this Bookings page is only for internal users, and all of them are 'customers' with their full organization email address. In researching, I found that there was mention of the Bookings needing to have an Exchange account as a shared mailbox, which I do not believe we have - when I search the email that confirms for me that someone has booked with me, it is a long string of seemingly random letters and numbers with an internal domain address. I have also tried searching in Exchange Admin for 'IT' 'Service Desk' 'Service', and 'Desk', none of which have any results under Mailboxes (which would include shared mailboxes). Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Screenshot:How to Control Access to Entra Multi-Tenant Apps
Entra multi-tenant applications can be used by any tenant – unless you restrict sign-in audiences to permit only specific tenants to use the application. In this article, we explain the preview feature and use the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK to restrict sign-in audiences by defining a list of permitted tenant identifiers in the properties of multi-tenant applications. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/28/restrict-sign-in-audience/

Top n vs. Others in Excel
Hi all, I'm seeking some help because I'm kind of new to the more intermediate stuff in Excel. I have an Excel table with the following columns: Subcategory in column A, Brand in column B, Region in column C, Year in column D and Values Month in column E. I want to create a PivotTable and a Pivot line chart from this PivotTable that ranks the Top 5 Brands vs. Other Competitors by each region. For added context: There are 5 subcategories, 3 regions and 25 brands. Currently, I've tried grouping the remaining 20 brands as "Other Competitors" vs. the Top 5 brands within a selected region and possibly all regions (when no selection is made). I'm seeking a solution similar to this... Please mind the colours. I will sort those out later. But, the problem that I'm faced with is that upon selection of a region, the PivotTable won't update to the Top 5 brands of a selected region because they've already been grouped. How can I make this more dynamic so that I'm able to show The Top 5 brands vs. Others? Please help. EDIT: My operating system is Windows 10 (64-bit) and I use Excel 365 (Desktop version). For reference, I've attached a link to a sample file. https://1drv.ms/x/c/b2d878e32a062614/IQC1wcnwLICcQasOfnGcwKn0ASjpXp9xQ6rjnOP10Jal5cc?e=HaXEWd Thank you all once again.
