Hello Nah,
Thanks for your feedback. As mentioned in the article, you can try any of the methods for your preferred hours. Only the CONVERT function cannot do that because it is built to perform on standard time format. Therefore, please check the attached Excel file where the working day is considered 8 hours/day.

Hello Luis,
Thank you for sharing your problem with us. As per your referred formula, I assume it is difficult to insert each product’s price in Column D for alignment. Because you need to have 2 separate datasets comprising Products and their Prices. Only after that, you can align them individually based on each category. For this, go through the following solutions that we described in this article.
Using VLOOKUP Function to Line up Two Sets of Data in Excel

Hello Nicola,
Thank you for sharing your problem. I assume you are getting difficulties to calculate interest rate as changed twice in a year. In that case, calculate first 6 months’ rate separately with this formula =7.5/12 and later 6 months’ with =8/12. As a result, you will get the values of monthly interests.
I hope this solution will help you. Let us know your feedback.

Hello Naureen,
Thank you for sharing your problem. I am replying on behalf of ExcelDemy. Assuming the student names are in Column A and the scores are in Column B, insert this formula to get the top 10 scorers with duplicate values.
=INDEX(SORT(A2:B16,2,-1),SEQUENCE(10),1)If you want to get the names in another sheet, then just add the worksheet names in the formula (as shown below) and you will get your required output.
=INDEX(SORT(‘Semester 2’!A2:B16,2,-1),SEQUENCE(10),1)I hope this solution will help you. Otherwise, feel free to share your workbook with [email protected] and we will look into this deeply.

Hello Felix,
Thank you for sharing your query. Unfortunately, you cannot expressly create a hyperlink for a single word in a text string under a cell. By default, Excel creates a hyperlink for the whole cell. But you can change the cell appearance to show the hyperlink only to a single word. For this, do the following tasks.
• First, create a hyperlink for the whole text following any methods from this article.
• Then, select the words that you don’t want to be shown as hyperlinks.
• Now, remove Underline from the selected texts from the Home tab or by pressing Ctrl + U on your keyboard.
• Along with it, change the Font Color to Automatic.
• Finally, the output will look like this.
I hope this will help you with your problem. Eagerly waiting for your feedback.
Thank you.

Hello Edmund Goh,
Thank you for sharing your problem with us. I assume you have properly gone through the steps to separate numbers with the Text to Columns feature. The reason that any changes are not updating is because the Text to Columns feature is static and it will not take any changes from the source cell. Yes, this is a limitation of this feature. You will also face the same if you apply the Flash Fill feature. In this case, I will suggest you to apply any other methods from this article except Method 4 and 5. Then you will be able to get changes on the separated numbers from the text.
Let us know if it helps you.
Thank you.

Hello Theva,
Glad that you shared your query. As per your given example, if you want to simplify the first letter of each word along with numbers, apply this simple VBA code.
Function ExtractFirstLetters(rng As Range) As StringDim arryDim X As Longarry = VBA.Split(rng, " ")If IsArray(arry) ThenFor X = LBound(arry) To UBound(arry)ExtractFirstLetters = ExtractFirstLetters & Left(arry(X), 1)Next XElseExtractFirstLetters = Left(arry, 1)End IfEnd FunctionNote that, if the words in your dataset are separated by Hyphens (–) then insert this line in the code
arry = VBA.Split(rng, "-")Instead of this,
arry = VBA.Split(rng, " ")I hope this will solve your problem. Let us know your feedback.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for sharing your problem. It seems fine for me when I tried to save the excel file shared in this article. The timestamp does not change in my case. Therefore, I will suggest you go through the steps carefully, no matter which method you prefer. Also, please check if the Enable iterative calculation option in File > Options > Formulas section is turned on. If it still changes then try the VBA code shared in this article.

Hello Tony Woods,
Thank you for sharing your query. I have tried to change values in the Level column and the timestamp changes according to the custom date format you shared. So it seems there is nothing wrong with your preferred custom format or the method that we described in the article. Therefore, I have come to the following solutions to your problem.
Solution 1: Change the Text format in the Timestamp column
For this, go to Data > Text to Column.
Then, in the second step, keep all the Delimiters unchecked.
Lastly, select Date as the Column Data Format > choose your preferred format from the drop-down list > press Finish.
Solution 2: Check settings in Formulas section
For this, go to File > Options and then check if this setting is active in your workbook.
Solution 3: Check settings in Proofing section
For this, go to go to File > Options and then check if the settings in the Proofing section are active in your workbook.
I hope the solutions will help you to work efficiently. Let us know your feedback.

Hello Frank,
Thank you for sharing your query. I am replying to you on behalf of ExcelDemy. According to your question, I assume the dataset will look like this where the product “Ice Cream” is in two rows with different dates and prices.
Now, to solve your problem, you have to put a date in Criteria 2 that lies in between the dates you want a price from. Afterward, apply the same formula as we used earlier and it will show the accurate price.
=INDEX($E$5:$E$16,MATCH(1,(($B$5:$B$16=G5)*($D$5:$D$16>=H5)*($C$5:$C$16<=H5)),0))I hope this solution will help you. Let us know your feedback.

Hello Tom,
I am replying to you on behalf of ExcelDemy. It is very unfortunate to know that, you are facing such difficulties. I have gone through your queries and thought of giving the following solutions.
1. First of all, please check this link in case you unintentionally protected your excel file through any of the methods described.
https://www.exceldemy.com/protect-excel-sheet-from-copy-paste/
2. When any worksheet or workbook is password protected, you cannot see them in actual letters, rather than some dots. Therefore, if you cannot unprotect the sheet with the help of this article, I am referring you to another one with some easy VBA codes to unprotect your file permanently without knowing the password.
https://www.exceldemy.com/unprotect-all-sheets-in-excel-vba/
3. You also mentioned that you are having trouble printing the worksheet. In this case, check this solution to solve this issue.

Hello Mirela,
Thank you for sharing your query. It would be really great if you can send the workbook to [email protected] as It seems quite confusing to create a dataset with the information you shared. After that, I will try to solve your problem. Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks!
Hello Russell,
Thank you for sharing your query. I hope the following solution will work for you.
First, click on the Start icon and select Settings.
Then, select Apps in the new window.
Next, go to the Default apps section on the left panel.
Here, check if the application for Email is selected as Mail.
If not, then click on it and choose Mail from the list of applications.
After this, I recommended you restart your device once. I hope it will solve your problem. Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks!
Hi Jacek,
Thank you for sharing your query. To solve this, you can try another formula instead after copying the Code 128 Font in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.
First, insert this formula for the data 456987321596328 and press Enter.
="*"&B5&"*"Then, change the Font to Code 128 and the Size to 36 for creating the barcode.
Make sure, your input data is in Text format before applying the formula.
Moreover, VBA is not error-free. So I suggest you create a new Excel-Macro Enabled Workbook and copy-paste the VBA code to create your own barcode.
I hope this will help you to solve your problem. Please let us know if you have other queries.
Thanks!
