Rolling 365 Calculation Glitch
Hi
I am trying to track days within certain countries for tax purposes using a rolling 365 calculation. I’ve followed tips from other posts but cannot get the formulas to work. Here are the specifics:
Column A is DATE going back to January 2016 Column B is COL for Colombia and has a value of 1.0 if I was in the country and 0 if I was outside the countryColumn C is USA and has a value of 1.0 if I was in the country and 0 if I was outside the countryColumn D is titled Total COL/365 and has a rolling 365 calculation formula that failsColumn E is Total USA/365 and has a rolling 365 calculation formula that fails
I am placing the first rolling 365 calculation formulas in Columns D & E on January 1, 2017 so as to allow 365 days to have elapsed. I know from using COUNT, that I was in Colombia 95 days in 2016 and 271 days in the USA.
The formulas I am using are:
=SUMIF(Date,”>=”&TODAY-365,CoL)=SUMIF(Date,”>=”&TODAY-365,USA)
In an ideal world, I want to copy the formula down and calculate the rolling 365 total for both countries through 2023 as I have the data.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Seth

I’m Having Issues with my Excel in formatting charts and changing data of charts
Hello Tech Community, I’m new because Microsoft support team suggested me to come here and ask all the doubts and get them cleared.
I’m Using the Excel LTSC version, in that when I created a dashboard for practice purpose, I wasn’t able to change the data of a chart, and I’m not able to format charts(paste special isn’t working),because of this I had to create same charts with colour code and size dimension and everything again and again manually which was a huge pain.
so I asked chatgpt and tried almost all methods except reinstallation, after nothing works, I’ve reinstalled also, still no use.
even my mentor also don’t know what to do.
it doesn’t have to do anything ‘protected sheet/workbook’
because I’ve tried that also.
From the main data set in sheet 1 I created pivot tables in a separate sheet (sheet 2), from that I created charts in another separate sheet (sheet 3 – Dashboard), and when I tried to change the data of a chart – not working, when I try to copy the style I created in a chart to another similar type chart – not working(paste special isn’t working).
so Excel specialists, Please Help me.

Import yaml from Github to Sentinel
Does anyone know how to create Sentinel custom alerts for the IOCs from Github repos such as this one?
https://github.com/magicsword-io/LOLDrivers/blob/main/detections/sigma/driver_load_win_mal_drivers.yml
I want to import yaml rule but would like to keep it up to date with the Github changes to the rule.
MSFT themselves have so many queries in their Github repo, I was wondering whether there’s a best way to import/integrate them to MSFT solutions.

Fear Less, Create More
Using AI tools like Copilot for creating learning courses may raise some issues for instructional designers. However, I do not share these concerns, but they exist.
AI has a potential to change the way instructional design is done by automating tasks like instructional design, graphic design, and accessibility, which rely on AI’s ability to find relevant content.
Some instructional designers are not happy with the features that Copilot offers right now, feeling that they are not enough to help them in their work. I find it very useful in the development stages of content creation because of some of Copilot’s features.
Some of the problems reported by developers are in answers and limitations when using sheets that do not work well with Copilot’s features. I think there are some solutions, but Copilot is always improving.
AI-generated content may be inaccurate or irrelevant, which affects the quality of training materials. I have this concern too, so I use Copilot as a helper tool, and I always review their suggestions for accuracy.
There may be worries about the honesty of AI-generated content, especially if students plagiarize or cheat with it. My wife is a teacher and has seen this problem when grading papers. She uses software that can spot plagiarism. It’s how we adapt to the times.
These fears show the need to evaluate AI-generated content critically and use AI tools that fit personal and organizational needs to make sure they improve and support the instructional design process rather than replace it.
I always welcome change, especially in technology. I think we shouldn’t be afraid of Copilot or any AI tool that helps us. I use Copilot at least 5 times a day and it boosts my confidence and power. This is my final remark:
“The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself”

How to make a symmetric matrix from a muxed signal in MATLAB fcn block?
Hello,
I am developping a system that utilizes an MNA in simulink and need to use the fcn Block in order to calculate de correct PV tension.
I have 60 converters that are connected on a DC bus in a symmetrical format and manage to make the MNA work for a single side, but as soon as I use the variable I wrote the length of the muxed signal in for different points it gives me an error.
Here is the code I made:
function [UPV, Ibus]= fcn(IPV, Ubus)
R1 = 0.00748 / 2;
R = 0.00748;
n = length(IPV); %Logging the number of input in the muxed signal
d = floor(n/2); %Finding the end of the first side
e = d+1; %Start of the second side
G = diag(2/R * ones(n, 1)) + diag(-1/R * ones(n-1, 1), 1) + diag(-1/R * ones(n-1, 1), -1); %Making the impedance matrix.
G(1, 1) = 1/R; %Correction of the first resistor
G(d,d) = 1/R; %Correction of the resistor near the injection point on one side
G(e,d) = 0; %Removing resistor from injection point
G(d,e) = 0; %Removing resistor from injection point
G(e,e) = 1/R; %Correction of the resistor near the injection on the second side
G(n, n) = 1/R; %Correction of the last resistor
B = zeros(n, 1);
B(d) = 1;
B(e) = 1;
A = R1;
MNAG = [G -B; B’ A]; %MNA matrix
sources = [IPV(:); Ubus];
resultats = MNAG sources;
UPV = resultats(1:n);
Ibus = 2*resultats(n+1);
In the various iterrations of this code I managed to make the programm run but all output became NaN.Hello,

Legend colors change when I have two y axes
Hi,
I am having difficulties with making figure. Here is the thing:
I have 10 different data sets. 2nd starts at the timestamp 1st end etc. Each data sets are saved and have similarly named variablses. I want data "density" to be on the left y axis and 7 measurements to be on the right y axis. The problem is with legend. After 1st measurement everything is ok. But when I run code again with another dataset, legend colors and linestyle will change. I’ll add both code and pictures of legends in several times.
Legend after 1st measurement. This is how it should look like:

Increase add-in timeout from 5 mins

Toll-free pricing (before porting)
Hello
Please i need your help on this issue.
I would like to port over our toll-free number from Bell, but first I would like to understand the pricing on communication credits.
So once I port over my toll-free number from Bell, I’ll need to pay for communication credits, and then I’ll be able to start using it right away?
I need someone to make me understand this process
I believe I already have a license (i.e. I don’t think I need to buy a new one).
That said, if I go to add phone numbers (in MS Teams admin center), and try to add a Toll Free auto attendant, it says “You don’t have enough licenses to request more numbers of this type”.
In summary, I need to understand the following before I port over the number from our other provider:
1. Please which license I need, how to purchase it, and how much it costs monthly (CAD$).
I went to the “Billing” section of admin center, but didn’t find a place to “Add On Subscription”.
2. I don’t need this toll-free number for outbound calls. Only inbound
Therefore, how does this impact my need for communication credits? Are they required regardless?

How to get Board detail (name or id) for board column in case of shared area path between 2 boards ?
I am having 2 kanban team boards under a project in ADO. I have a story item which is having shared area path between these 2 team boards.
In order to retrieve item I am using API :
https://dev.azure.com/tasktop-sync-demo/Test Board Column/_apis/wit/workItems/5792498
On both boards my work item is on 2 different columns i.e. Column1 on Board1 and Column2 on Board2, Here in response I am getting these 2 columns with some generatedId keys “WEF_34545787865766_Kanban.Column”
{
“WEF_785DDB2D72A74EBCB0E642E4A45F12EC_Kanban.Column”: “Column1”, “WEF_785DDB2D72A74EBCB0E642E4A45F12EC_Kanban.Column.Done”: false, “WEF_C2ECE6B228114F51A87D025B7DDB85CB_Kanban.Column”: “Column2”, “WEF_C2ECE6B228114F51A87D025B7DDB85CB_Kanban.Column.Done”: false
}
My question is I want to map these generatedId with boards from which these Board columns are coming from for example if “WEF_785DDB2D72A74EBCB0E642E4A45F12EC_Kanban.Column” is coming for some BoardA then how can we get to know details such as Boardname about that corresponding board ?

This initiative, organized voluntarily with four other dedicated women, saw 90 participants last year. Many of these women achieved their first Microsoft certification (after 3-month of bi-weekly training sessions), and six have already started working in IT. This program highlights the commitment to not only bringing more women into tech but also providing them with the skills and support they need to succeed. I am so grateful for the support that all partners and Microsoft have given to this program!
Beyond these initiatives, I actively work to improve overall equality in the workplace. The tech industry, like many others, still has a long way to go in creating a level playing field for everyone. While there have been significant efforts to attract women to IT, we must also focus on retention. Statistics show that women are three times more likely to leave IT within the first five years of their careers compared to men. Addressing this issue is crucial for making IT a sector where everyone can thrive.
As one of the top 25 talents for TEDxAmsterdamWomen Talent Night, how do you continue to empower women in tech in terms of diversity and inclusion?
Being selected as one of the top 25 talents for TEDxAmsterdamWomen Talent Night is an incredible honor, and it fuels my passion to continue with this journey to inspire people on a personal level.
My approach to diversity and inclusion also involves attracting women to the industry and ensuring they have the support to stay and succeed.
At Dutch Women in Tech, we focus on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. Our monthly meetups, knowledge-sharing sessions, and events provide women with the resources and connections they need to thrive. We also produce podcasts to inspire and guide women on their journey in IT.
A significant part of my work is addressing the high attrition rates among women in tech. We need to create a more supportive and inclusive culture where women feel valued and heard. IT is not just about technology; it’s about people and connections. By emphasizing empathy, integrity, and authenticity, we can build a workplace culture that supports everyone.
Additionally, I am actively involved in mentoring emerging tech professionals, particularly women. Through mentoring, I provide guidance and support, helping them navigate the challenges of the industry and build successful careers. Mentorship is a powerful tool for fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment among women in tech.
What does delivering a speech on stage mean to you?
Delivering a speech on stage is a powerful opportunity to connect with others and inspire change. For me, it’s not just about the content of the speech but how it resonates with the audience. I believe in the power of vulnerability, personality, and addressing difficult topics openly.
When I speak, I aim to create a genuine connection with my audience. By sharing my personal experiences and the challenges I’ve faced, I hope to inspire others to embrace their authenticity and pursue their passions. The era of achieving results solely through direct, authoritative means is behind us. The future is about connection—empathy, integrity, and authenticity.
Through my speeches, I use my voice to advocate for a world where everyone can be themselves. I focus on the challenges we face in the workplace and beyond, particularly in the context of diversity and inclusion. It’s about making a difference, inspiring change, and fostering a culture where everyone feels valued and heard.
As a trans woman, my journey has given me unique insights into the importance of authenticity and the power of being true to oneself. I strive to create a more inclusive and supportive environment in the tech industry and beyond. By sharing my story and advocating for change, I hope to make a positive impact and inspire others to do the same.

mclInitializeApplication sometimes will hangs forever
Calling mclInitializeApplication will hang,
it will not return 0 or 1.. just hangs in there.
Sometimes it will hang forever,
Sometimes hang for few minutes and that return success.
Sometimes works correctly and return success immediately.
So I suspect it’s a ‘system’ error, while other users also running matlab on the same servers
I’m using matlab as ‘C Shared Library Integration’,
included at my project via DPI-C, with Xcelium simulator (used for Hardware RTL simulation)
Runing at Unix servers.
from the documentation it says:
" mclInitializeApplication must be called once only per process."
I’m running the my program which is Xcelium simulator, which for every run should be ‘single’ process.
it will be allocated to a server on the grid, and run there. so from my point of view it’s a new and fresh instance of the program, and I can’t see how it’s cross contaminating other job that is already running.
