Copilot in PowerPoint 365 do not edit the slides anymore?
I wonder, is the copilot for Microsoft PowerPoint not editing the slides anymore? It is rather providing only default options i.e. add image, organize ppt, add slide etc but do not edit the slides anymore i.e. no more prompt for changing the fonts, animating the bullets, reducing or increasing the text etc. Or is it only happening with me?

segmentação de dados
gostaria de saber se é possível usar uma única segmentação de dados para varias tabelas dinâmicas em diferentes planilhas na mesma pasta de trabalho.
contexto: eu tenho 3 tabelas diferentes, usadas para diferentes propósitos. Com essas tabelas eu crie tabelas dinâmicas e com os dados unificados criei um dashboard. Porém na hora de usar os filtros dinâmicos (segmentação) eles só aceitam conexão com uma mesma pasta de trabalho mesmo todos os dados sendo iguais nas diferentes planilhas. Nas tabelas tenho a mesma base de dados, que são nome, e até mesmo datas e meses.

Excel – best way to perform my end result
I have data with the following headers, name, class and amount. (I can delete the unwanted columns just fine)
1) I need to sort by class and have total amounts based on each class. ( I know how to sort and use subtotal groups) I can’t figure out out to copy that info with just the totals of each class and identify who those amounts belong to. I use paste special, value (I still end up with the rows expanding out)
Data I start with (with several rows (including more than 1 name) and multiple classes with varying amounts)
NameWhy date date 2 n/a n/a n/a Class AmountJoe SmithHoliday 06/06/2024 ########## 0.00 0.00 Y 281.00_General Operations195.00
2) after I get the data of just the totals for each class I am going to have my rows with the class with the amount in a column and the name relating somehow to the that data. In the end I will have multiple names and amounts going horizontal with some other added columns and formulas to determine a incentive payout but based on the amount in each class. ( I have figured out to use transpose and or just some simple formulas to make this happen. I just thought maybe if you knew the big picture you would see an easier way to get around it all)

Importing a Database into VS Code
About
This article will talk through how one can import an existing database that lives on a SQL Server either on prem or in Azure onto a local machine. This import will create a .sqlproj. Per the documentation a sql Project is:
A Management Studio project is a collection of logically related scripts and files that can be saved together for database administration and development.
Once we have this then we will have the ability to make and test changes locally, place the contents under source control, and leverage Azure DevOps for CI/CD deployment. One misnomer that I will call out is that we will do this all without leveraging a Visual Studio License, which historically has been a prerequisite for managing SQL Databases.
Pre Reqs
In order to follow along with this process, one will need to have a combination of access and software installed on their computer. I will be walking through using Visual Studio Code; however, the process is quite similar if leveraging Azure Data Studio.
Visual Studio Code with the SQL Database Projects Extension OR Azure Data Studio
Via network connectivity/firewall ability to establish a connection to the desired SQL Database
Ability to login to the database and read all schema objects. This can be achieved via SQL Login or Entra ID. We will use Entra ID for our purposes.
Importing the Database
Now we will go step by step how to effectively download and recreate the database schema files on our local machine. This process will entail Creating the Connection Profile, Downloading the Database, and Confirming Your Local Copy.
Creating the Connection Profile
The first step is to launch Visual Studio Code (VS Code), or Azure Data Studio. Once we have this launched VS Code, we will leverage the Command Pallet in VS Code by the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P and type in “Database Projects”
This will provide a list of actions one can perform in VS Code leveraging the Database Projects Extension. In our case we want to select “Database Projects: Create Project From Database”
After selecting this you will see an option to “Create Connection Profile” –it is possible if you have previously used Data Studio or VS Code to create a Connection Profile to the desired database in the past. If so, then feel free to skip this section.
The next prompt will ask you for the connection string. We will use just the server address to keep it basic. I am using a SQL PaaS Database that contains just the sample schema/data for Adventure Works.
We will then be prompted for an optional parameter to include the name of the database we’d like to download. I HIGHLY recommend scoping your project import to a single database. The reason behind this is, typically, individual databases are maintained, operated, and scoped for a single purpose. This means in the grand scheme of source control management and CI/CD we would want to scope our projects according to not only lifecycle but purpose as well.
In my case the database name is “sqlmoveme“
We will then be prompted to how to authenticate to the SQL DB. I will be using “Microsoft Entra Id – Universal”. The next screen will confirm the Entra Account we will be using to connect if leveraging SQL Login it will ask for the username and password. Odds are you will be choosing the “Add” option. When clicking this VS Code will launch a new browser session where you will log/MFA into the Entra ID Tenant.
After this step the MSSQL library will be testing a connection behind the scenes. This can be confirmed in the VS Code Output window by selecting MSSQL from the drop down and inspecting the logging:
Downloading the Database
After connecting VS Code will now prompt you to give your project a name. I would recommend naming the project either the same as your database or something similar.
After this VS Code will now ask what folder we should download and create the .sqlproj in.
I would recommend each database you are downloading have a separate folder. This will help later if we want to put our database under source control.
Once we have a location we will be asked how to import the database. This can be a bit of a dealer’s choice; however, I am going to choose to import the “Schema/Object Type” option. Others are perfectly fine.
Once selecting this you will be prompted if permissions and security scripts should be included. I would advise you not to include this as it will contain the credentials for SQL Logins, which we should not be storing under source control.
The next prompt around “SDK-style project” may sound a bit confusing. This is prompting the user if they’d like to leverage Use SDK-style projects with the SQL Database Projects extension though listed in preview at the time of this writing I’d still encourage you to select this option. It will let us build the .sqlproj leveraging a ‘dotnet build’ build command and more importantly won’t require us to have Visual Studio.
Once selected VS Code will download the database locally and the result, in the case of Adventure Works, will look like:
Confirming Your Local Copy
At this point we can see the database schemas, in our example this is just `dbo` and `SalesLT`. If expanding these folders we can see all the object types and their definitions. In this screenshot the table Address has been selected and one can see the associated SQL script:
Let’s make a change and save it. I am going to add an “Address Line3” with NULLs being allowed into our table definition and save it.
Now let’s right click the Address.sql file in the File Explorer and select “Reveal in File Explorer”. This will launch File Explorer where we can confirm the date modified on our Address.sql has been updated.
Building the Database
Now that we confirmed we can make these changes in our local .sqlproj the next logical question is how should we deploy or product an artifact to deploy. Since we are using the SDK-style projects with the SQL Database Projects extension a `dotnet build` command entered in the VS Code terminal will produce our deployable artifact. I am going to use .dacpac for future iterations of this blog series.
Next Steps
Once we have the .dacpac file locally we can deploy this either manually through SQL Server Management Studio or Azure Data Tools or preferrable through a CI/CD process which I will cover in a future post leveraging the SqlAzureDacpacDeployment task. However; before we do that we should discuss how to push the database project we just created to source control. To be alerted when this blog is available be sure to follow me on Tech Community

Is it Entra ID and Entra External ID Collab + Entra External ID B2C? Or?
Hi,
Will someone please clarify something for me.
Are Entra ID and Entra External ID different products or just the same product separated into logical tenants for the purpose of security partitioning?
I was reviewing the FAQ for an upcoming CIAM webinar the following question was presented:
Question: I am currently using Azure AD B2B collaboration and B2B direct connect, have these experiences changed?
Answer: Azure AD B2B collaboration and B2B direct connect are now part of Microsoft Entra External ID as External ID B2B collaboration and B2B direct connect. There are no changes to your product experience, B2B collaboration features remain in the same location in the Microsoft Entra admin center within the workforce tenant, allowing you to secure all business guests, streamline collaboration, and limit access risks extending ID Governance to external users.
This indicates that if you are currently using Azure AD for guest accounts (due to the limitations of Azure B2C) then there’s no change. The conclusion then is the only benefit of using Entra External ID is strictly for any new/future capabilities and replacement of Azure AD B2C. We are looking for federation of B2C customers IdP customers on a more enterprise level, not just Google and Facebook but we desire to have the security partition in place and not have guest accounts in our Entra ID Enterprise tenant.
Very confusing.
Thanks.

What Are the Benefits and Considerations for Switching to a Local Account
I recently inherited a laptop and started using it, only to discover that it’s currently set up with a Microsoft account instead of a local account. I’d like to switch to a local account, but I’m concerned about what features or data might become inaccessible as a result.
Specifically, one of the laptop’s internal drives has BitLocker encryption enabled. If I switch to a local account, will I still be able to access the encrypted drive, or will it become inaccessible? Any insight or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I have a group of people that I need to figure out what data/shares they are accessing the most.
Is there a way to see this in AD or by using some sort of PowerShell command?
Thank you,

Automatically updating SharePoint list project completion
Hi All,
I’m fairly new to SharePoint, and my organization is looking to use the system to track multiple projects at a high level.
I’ve created a list that has a ‘% Completion’ column. I want this column to be automatically updated based on an uploaded connection list to Planner. i.e., if I mark two tasks as complete, I want the other list to update to reflect this.
Is there any way to do this? Or, is there a way to use a lookup column and pull the average % completion, rather than a selection of the % complete of each task?

New-VMSwitch SET teaming BSOD
hi to all
i have installed the server 2025 evaluation to try hyper-v and failover cluster features.
I used 2 hpe proliant bl460c gen9 with shared storage (yes i know, is not supported. but this is a lab to test if the product is capable of replacing VMware)
one good news is that server 2025 accepts drivers designed for server 2019 and server 2016.
the failover cluster runs without problems and do what is expected.
the hyper-v… well… is another history…
when i try to configure in PS a vswitch with 2 nic in teaming a BSOD is displayed… both nic’s are in dhcp. If i configure one nic with static ip address, the command stops at 80%.
the command i used:
New-VMSwitch -Name “SET” -NetAdapterName “Ethernet 3″,”Ethernet 4”
this behaviour occurs in both servers.

Why do my recurring tasks keep deleting?
Even if I check off the tasks each weekday (I have them recurring on weekdays), they disappear from ‘My Day’, they still disappear and have to all be manually re-added from ‘Tasks’. I tried setting the due date for a period in the future but that didn’t work either.
How do I resolve this? I just want a simple way to have tasks reoccur every weekday under ‘My Day’ without having to reset it every time.
P.S. I am using this service through the to-do website and not through the calendar.
Thanks.

Calculation error
Hello,
I have a matrix of numeric values 13 by 7 cells.
If I summarize the horizontal figures (13 columns in total) it gives me a total.
If I do the same (different purpose) for the vertical (7 rows in total) it also gives me a total.
No formatting. except 2 digits behind comma.
I thought the total of the 13 columns would be the same as the total of the 7 rows.
I learned that Excel calculates through 15 digits behind the comma.
But I find that the total of the 7 rows it calculates to 14 digits behind the comma, the 15th digit is forgotten(?). The total of the 13 columns also loses its 15th digit behind the comma.
That would make is even, but no horizontal total of columns is NOT EQUAL TO vertical total of rows.
Please explain or help to get it accurate.
On request, I can supply the matrix to describe my calculation error further.
Kind regards Eddy

Task and ToDo
It appears changes are coming to TASK and TODO. The drastic changes that are coming down for These options in Outloook will not make some very happy.
For our clients who extensively use and manage their work through this, It seems an update made a change, and some cannot handle change, especially when the changes are drastic and without warning.
Here is what is happening. This is an example: the User has a much more complex setup in Task:
In the Task, Categories are listed in color codes. These can be set up to signify if something was completed. Some Users have set these up extensively to signify certain parts of that task was completed or is needing to be done.
For example, if the “Blue Category” were completed, to show this, a clear “Blue Category” would be clicked.
However, it still shows the Blue Category there….until
You exit out of the window and open it back up, and then it shows it cleared.
Is there a reason why this started? It seems that if someone has a slightly older version of Outlook, it works. The User can clear that category, and it immediately disappears without having to exit out of the open task.
The other issue results if a new category is selected and added only when the window is closed and opened back up. It was shown that there is a column for the category that updates quickly, but they are not wanting it like that due to the way they search and orginize their task for all their clients they work with for these task.

Problems launching browser as admin
When I run PowerShell 7.4.3 as admin, there are issues when a browser should be launched but doesn’t behave appropriately. For example:
When I get help and select a related link for online information, the familiar Windows popup asks which app to use. I select Edge and click to use Always. The next time I click a link, I’m asked again to select the app. I’ve tried with Edge and Chrome, and neither stick.When I run Connect-MSGraph -Scopes “User.Read.All”, “Group.ReadWrite.All” which requires web authentication, a browser never launches. The terminal hangs, and I have to Ctrl-C out of it. Other similar commands that require web authentication fail the same way, i.e., no browser is launched.When I run Connect-MSGraph -Scopes “User.Read.All”, “Group.ReadWrite.All” -UseDeviceAuthentication I get a link to open a page for the code, similar to #1 above. I get the same Windows popup, select Edge, and continue. There are other steps, but the connection is made, and the command succeeds. The next time I use the command, I’m asked again to select the app, etc.
I’ve tried this with the same results in multiple Windows PowerShell terminals and the VS Code PowerShell Extension integrated console. All have problems with PowerShell 7, but not PowerShell 5 (did not use MSGraph here). I don’t have the same problems as a standard user. I’m running in a MS 365 GCC environment, but I couldn’t find any known GCC issues.
I’d very much appreciate some pointers on this. I’m a long-time hacker but still relatively new to Powershell.

Connection error in App Connectors
Hi There,
I’m trying to setup a Conditional Access App control policy in my tenant using MCAS and I’m unable to do so because I’m constantly receiving this connection error ( see screenshot below) for Microsoft 365. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong and what’s wrong with my tenant but I’m unable to get rid of this error. Any help would be highly appreciated.
I have a Microsoft 365 E5 license in my tenant and all the users have been given the same license.
Because of this error I’m not able to onboard the Microsoft 365 app to Conditional Access App control and hence when I got to the policy management to create an access policy or session policy I end up getting the below mentioned error.
