Hello , I would like to add date picker on an excel sheet. The goal is to create an excel file and have this sent to users to fill in. When filling the excel, and click on the start date, a calendar dropdown should appear and users select the date from the calendar so as to eliminate different date format and make it unique across the document. I was able to get a date picker add-in however this wont work because I am sending to users please see below:632KViews0likes13CommentsCreating Sankey Diagrams
Hi, Does anyone have any guides for creating Sankey Diagrams in Excel. I deal with the analysis of a reasonably long process which has various customer inputs and outcomes. I am looking for a visual way to show everyone who came into the process, and what happened to each person. Sankey Diagrams seem to fit that bill perfectly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks T277KViews0likes8CommentsManually Sorting Pivot Table Columns
I have a simple pivot table -- it looks great & is a great help. I have only one field in Columns, called "Type", and there are six different types (therefore, six columns). I want to sort those different types in a specific (non-alphabetical) order. I can click on the down arrow on the "Column Labels" field, and select "More Sort Options". In the pop-up window ("Sort Options"), I can put a check in the "Manual (you can drag & drop items to rearrange them)" box. And after that, I'm stumped. I can't drag the column labels on the pivot table. I can't drag on the list that shows up when I used the Column Labels down arrow. I can't drag the whole columns What am I supposed to be able to drag & drop? Thanks in advance.Solved180KViews1like7CommentsPivot Table Will Not Update Properly
I have data created in PowerQuery that is connected to PowerPivot which generates PivotTable in my excel sheets. I have noticed that my pivot tables do not refresh with the most recent data once I: refresh the table, refresh the powerpivot, or refresh all data. Some data is refreshed but not all. The only way I can actually get correct info is by generating a new pivot table where it will get updated info. I have many pivot tables that are conditionally formated and do not want to have to go through the whole process of recreating my pivot tables one by one and reformating them everytime I refresh my excel data. How do I fix this?Solved138KViews0likes19CommentsPower Query error 'The key didn't match any rows in the table.' when combining
Hello everyone, I'm trying to merge multiple excel files into one spreadsheet using Power Query, but I receive the following error when doing so: An error occurred in the ‘Transform File’ query. Expression.Error: The key didn't match any rows in the table. Details: Key= Item=Client Lists Kind=Sheet Table= Now a bit of information on my data sheets. The workbooks I'm trying to combine are tabled and also contain 2 tabs each. I'm trying to specifically combine 1 of the tabs from each sheet. In the Power Query navigator, it shows the options of 'Table' and the named tab I want to focus on. I tried to separate the 1 specific tab into one book and ensured all of my books have the exact same headers. When I try to combine I still receive the same error. Do I have to un-table my sheets? Or do I have to create a new book for the specific sheet I'm looking to combine? Please help!127KViews1like18CommentsExcel Data Validation List multiple choice WITHOUT using VBA
Hi All, I'm looking to the community again to assist with a challenge I'm trying to resolve. Whilst these posts outline that multiple choice isn't possible (Select Multiple Items from a Drop Down List in Excel (trumpexcel.com)) without using VBA. Following some small nuggets of information online I've been able to create a mini-example of what I'm trying to do but it's just not doing it exactly as I'd want it (I'm sure others would like this post if this could be cracked). I've followed one of the posts here (Here is how to have a multiselect dropdown without VBA : r/excel (reddit.com)) and managed to get it working. The query I have would be whether it is possible to modify the formula so that when selecting from the dropdown it doesn't show the concatenated values possible and instead just the ones that haven't been selected. For example using the attached excel, once I have selected a value in column d 'Dropdown' the remaining options are shown as a concatenated value (select This is option 2 in 'D5' - in the available options this shows' This is Option 2; This is Option 1 This is Option 2; This is Option 3 etc). What I'm trying to achieve is just show the remaining options that haven't been selected rather than showing a concatenated value as when 4 values have been selected this becomes quite unwieldly to understand/use (e.g., with 'This is Option 2 in D5 - the available options to show: This is Option 1, This is Option 3) Edit (2023-09-11): Realised the full message didn't post - corrected.Solved124KViews0likes8CommentsReal time Microsoft Forms results in Excel Worksheet
Hi, I want to use Microsoft forms for an invoice in excel. I have made the invoice, which automatically collects data from the Excel table opened with Microsoft Forms, but when a new response has been filled in, the table used for the invoice is not updated. Does anyone know if it is possible to automatically add new Forms responses to an Excel table, or to obtain the data in another way?

I often have to change the actual path of my workbook, or share it, so I want to change the query location in a way that as long as both files are in the same directory, they work Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\me\Documents\file.xlsx"), null, true), I want that as long as file.xlsx is in the same directory as my workbook, it will find it Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("\file.xlsx"), null, true), Ive try this but does not work78KViews0likes19Comments
