I am using outlook365. What type of file type in excel should I save my file? Currently, My workbook file extension is "xlsm". and I am wondering if it should be something different. I have a few macros, but I really only use one. When I hit save, the macro will save the file, then adjust the file name to the file name plus date and time, and save it to dropbox and then to onedrive for back ups. My workbook has 42 worksheets, but they are probably small by most standards. The maximum amount of lines are 300 but most are less than 100 lines. The maximum amount of columns are less than 75, but ..read more

I am working on a project that I want to have routinely “break” so I can ensure it is working appropriately. I think the best solution is to have all the sheets get hidden and the workbook locked so the users can then ask my to update their sheet. Any ideas on a code for this?

I have a list of clients that pay on different schedules- weekly, bi-weekly 1, bi- weekly 2, semi monthly 5/20, semi monthly 10/25, and monthly. I want to be able to create a to do list for myself so that I can track the payments have been made. Ideally, I can set it up so that I just enter the week number and it will auto populate the client name and the associated manager for all clients that pay that particular week. Any ideas on how to set up the data to allow this? submitted by /u/MickeyJo03 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've been wondering for a while why sometimes I inadvertently add a total row to my tables when I really want to change a table name or style. I think I've figured it out, and I hope this helps others who may have been frustrated by the same behavior. It turns out that if you type the sequence [Alt]-jt, you get the Table Design tab. Within this, T gets you the total row. All good. But if you hold down [Alt] as you hit "J", you go straight into the tab, and the next thing you hit selects the appropriate option within the tab. If you're in a Pivot Table and you hold [Alt] as you hit "J", you ge ..read more

I work daily on a workbook with multiple sheets that only I should be able to edit, but multiple should be able to just see and browse. I’m currently sharing the file with a link with the option to read only, but when someone opens that they have still the freedom to -take a look at the formulas -have a big green “edit your own copy” at the top Both this thing render my work extremely easy to copy and “steal” if one wanted to do so. Is it really impossible to easily remove both options and render a file REALLY read only ? (Without making it a web page) Ive seen hundreds of ppl asking similar ..read more

Hello everyone, I am trying to give a rating based on certain parameters. Usually I do this manually but it would be great to have it automated. The parameters are as follows (colour coding would be fab too...) Weak = Meeting: <75% (red) Acceptable: Meeting=75% (or greater) + Exceeding <50% (yellow) Good: Meeting 75% (or greater) + Exceeding 50-60% (light green) Very Good: Meeting 75% (or greater) + Exceeding 61-74% (darker green) Outstanding: Meeting 75% (or greater) + Exceeding 75% (or greater) (blue) Thanks for you time in advance!! : https://preview.redd.it/f1dfuwhvb64d1.png?width=4 ..read more
