Excel Solver Question
Hi. I am working on hypothetical problem relating to optimizing expected return on investments subject to constraints. I cannot figure out how to put the linear programming model I developed into the excel format so that I can use excel solver to find the optimal solution. Would appreciate any help I could get in figuring this out. Do I need to solve for the expected return, the mean, the standard deviation, as well as have a covariance matrix? I have attached the question below, it is part B that I cannot figure out how to input into excel solver.

Will the Microsoft License email for a staff member override Board member emails in different domain
My organization’s Board of Directors uses Vieth (CPanel) for our email domain and server. We are hiring a new Executive Director and want to purchase Microsofit 365 for nonprofits to provide her with everything to be successful, including the same email domain as the Board. I’ve heard that if I switch the email domain into Microsoft, then no emails will go into the original email provider. Does this only happen to the individual email that was moved over to Microsoft, or to all of them?
Our ideal situation:
– email address removed for privacy reasons is on Microsoft 365 with Outlook and sends/receives emails
– email address removed for privacy reasons is on Vieth (CPanel) and sends/receives emails
I want to avoid a situation the discontinues the ability for our Board members to continue using the original domain if it is overridden by the Microsoft one.
I hope this was clear! I appreciate and reassurance or guidance. Thank you in advance!

Retiring / Deleting Entra ID Joined device will make it unaccessible
Hi community,
am I alone with this issue? I’m currently testing some Intune functions with a testing device and account. I just found out that deleting or retiring an intune device (AD joined, no local backup account) from the web interface will make it unusable after restart. It will ask for the password of the AD user and won’t even accept the correct password.
Is this issue known? Is there a workaround to gain access to the data? In a prod environment with bitlocker enabled this is a nightmare.

Follow-up: Microsoft Word – Getting rid of unused fields in equations (small dotted squares)
Dear All,
This is a follow-up from post https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365/microsoft-word-getting-rid-of-unused-fields-in-equations-small/m-p/4269588#M54220
(which I believe is not seen anymore since a first solution was proposed))
Apparently due to an Apr 2024 bug in Word, “placeholder” boxes in Word equations are displaying when printed or converted to PDF when they did not used to. I’m trying to get a working macro to detect such empty fields and delete them (or at least, populate them with an empty space ” ” so that the small dotted squares don’t show anymore).
I’m trying to have a working macro, unfortunately without success yet.
Equations are indeed detected, if I display them I see their fields (all in 1 MsgBox).
Now, the eq itself will not be “empty”, some of of the eq fields might be.
I cannot find a way to go through each field of each equation, and then delete (or assign ” “) to each empty field.
Your opinion and help on this would be most welcome!
Thank you!

I need a function to return last date of update
Hi
I need a function to do this case:
in the attached file, based on the values of cells range A3:L19 and the values of cells range A1:L1; if there is data (P OR Number value from (1 to 5)) in the range (A3:L18) or the values of range A1:A18 are equal to (True), I need a function to return the last date of update which is a value from the range (B2:B18) in this case; it should be the last date of update 16/10/2024
Thanks.

Excel Column Sorting Question
Is there a way to prevent certain columns from sorting on a sheet?
I have 5 columns of data – 1500 lines in A, their attributes are in columns B-E, listed in a header row (1), i.e., size, shape, color, etc.
I can filter all columns, just fine. Then, I added a ‘cheetsheet’ of text to remind me of what the attributes are for each column (B-E). I added this text in column G (leaving column F empty) with the hope that when I sort (filter) any other columns (A-E), the text in G would be unaffected.
Can I (easily) separate G from the filers and sorting in columns A-E?

How do I permanently store module?
Hi everyone, I’m new to powershell, I would like to know how to automatically load the modules I load with import-module in each instance; if I load the modules with import-module, when I close the instance I lose the module. I would like to know how to permanently load, for example, the KPI module in the $Env:PsModulePath variable. Obviously the question is answered to all the modules that I always want to keep in section even when I start the computer. I hope for an answer

Error Handling in a Macro
I have written a Workbook_Open() script which runs on startup and checks for the presence or absence of a named TextBox, The code that follows this check depends upon whether or not the TexBox exists.
The problem is, I get Error 1004 when I try to delete it and its not there, and the IfError statement does not handle this situation. I have not tried the condition of selecting it when its not there, but I assume I would get the same result.
Is there any other way to determing the presence or absence of a TextBox using a macro?

Office 365 Won’t let me have a none absolute cell reference in the Data Validation
Been beating my head against a wall for a few days trying to figure out how to get a dependent drop-down list to function in the Desktop Office 365 version of Excel.
I’ve finally found something that’s very close to working, using an XLOOKUP function that checks the adjacent cell, checks for a match, then outputs everything under that match. That works really well.
However my final hurdle, and the one that seems to be a recurring problem across all the methods I’ve tried, is getting the data validation to work when dragged down to other cells.
For my first column, that drags down perfectly well – since its just choosing from a static range. However, the second column doesn’t work like that. It only ever reads one cell, the cell it was entered with.
When I enter Data validation and select a cell, it has dollar signs next to both figures. I was reading that the dollar sign sets a value as absolute, so doesn’t shift when dragged down. However, Office 365 won’t let me remove the dollar signs from the validation.
How I’ve got it set-up in my Data Validation at the moment (that works for one row) is:
=XLOOKUP($A$3,Class,Subclass)
(Class being the static dropdown list, Subclass being the dependent dropdown list).
I can’t remove either of the $ signs without it refusing to accept it. Is there a work around to this, or another way to tell a cell “Hey, you’re looking for the cell to your left”.
As an alternative “Me thinking of things that probably won’t work” solution – where I have the XLOOKUP set up in the sheet, the data is descening vertically. I can drag it across horizontally, but that won’t work for how I have the table-setup. I was wondering if it was possible to have the XLOOKUP present its data in the columns to the right of it, instead of below. Then I can at least just drag that formula downwards maybe and see if that works?

Group items based on criteria
Hi,
I have different items which needs to be packed in different bags based on the following criteria. I have an itemized spreadsheet with the weight of each item (attached in link). I am looking for a solution to get the items packed in bags, fulfilling the criteria as mentioned below. For that reason, I would like to get which bag can contain how many items
– packet of items to be randomly packed in each bag such a way that the total weight shall not exceed 2.5 kg.
– each bag shall have mix of items from each category with at least 2 category items in each bag.
– Bag numbers shall be sequentially assigned in column F based on the first number which is manually assigned. (in example the bag number starts with 4001),
To achieve the desired result can formula be used or VBA is required? Appreciate, any ideas /solution to get the desired result.
Thanks in advance. https://1drv.ms/x/c/5184dd66ded11ae2/EbsnMRLq3VBNnhyOCHn1Fj0BpqL0z-uH3nsfZHQVnB2yRQ?e=poC4A4

Windows 11 Dev channel won’t update from 26100 to 26120
Under Windows Update, Windows Insider Program I get the message ‘Check Windows Update for a newer and more secure build’ but Windows update says thet I am up to date. When I troubleshoot the message, I should be on 26120.2200 now. The insider programme no longer shows the insider channel I am on as it only gives the choice of stopping the insider preview builds.

Can’t license 365 groups anymore
Ever since group based licensing was moved from Entra to 365 admin, it’s no longer possible to apply licenses to to 365 groups. This is clearly broken and needs fixing. What’s the process to raise this with Microsoft? I tried using Graph but that’s also broken, even when following the MS doc.
I raised a support case but they guy that called back was absolutely useless, didn’t even know what I was talking about.

How to Automatically Remove “You don’t often get email from” Text in Reply/Reply All on EXO
I’m looking for a way to automatically remove the “You don’t often get email from” text when a user replies or replies all to an email in Exchange Online (EXO). This text appears because I’ve enabled the “first contact safety tip” feature to improve email security, and I’d prefer not to disable it.
However, some users find this message distracting, especially when it appears repeatedly in email threads. Currently, they have to manually remove it each time they respond. Is there any way to automate the removal of this line in reply or reply-all emails—perhaps through PowerShell, Exchange Online settings, or Power Automate?
Any advice or guidance on this would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Using excel to prepare a detailed income and tax computation for federal taxes USA.
I am toying with the idea of preparing a comprehensive excel workbook for preparing a computation of income, adjustments, deductions, taxes and credits similar to a software helping to prepare 1040 return. My idea is not exactly to prepare a tax forms for submission but a computation summary of four to five pages which helps the tax payers to appreciate their income and taxes (as against 200+ pages of tax return). Technically it will be a full fledged software but will be also a very good review and visulation tool and mybe a tax planning tool later. Is excel a good place to do that? Will python with excel be able to handle? I am a tax professional but not a tech guy. I am only looking at Federal preparation as of now.
