Likert question on excel
I made a survey for school using forms. I like the graphs provided after the surveys are done and I’m trying to use those graphs in excel, to be exact the likert graph but I cant seem to find out how to do it on excel. When ever I try to do the stacked bar graph it doesn’t add up how it has it on forms. The title of the question is the only variable that comes on on everything like my x-axis, y-axis and key variables. Any way I can copy and paste the graphs already provided in forms onto excel? Or does anyone know the trick to use that specific formula in excel to do it?

Time Off Slots Not Showing Properly In Outlook/Teams
Time off slots are not showing properly on Outlook… Maybe Teams as well.
It seems there is a maximum of 3 slots that appear at once while using the Outlook app (dark mode image below) when Teams is capable of up to 5 slots (light mode image below). Beyond 5, Teams only shows 4.
How do I get Bookings to increase the number of time off slots that are visible in Outlook and Teams? Or at least give me a (+2 more) so I can see that there is additional information? There is no settings section to change font size, number of slots, or additional information options.

Capturing exact text from an image – possible?
If you craft the wording of the prompt just right, is there a way for Copilot to extract text from an image verbatim? (No reinterpretation; no missing words – just exactly as it reads?)
We’re having mixed success with this. Less complex images with minimal text seems to work pretty well. But once the text becomes lengthier and more complex, Copilot changes the wording.
Is that simply the nature of AI that it will always do that, or is there a way to word the prompt (maybe over the duration of a conversation) that would capture it exactly?

Search-AdminAuditLog – ObjectModified, Blank
Hey Guys,
I am trying to figure out when a users mailbox had OOF enabled. I am searching through the admin audit log and am seeing entries, however all results return with an ObjectModified that is blank.
Is this expected? Why would that value be blank? If a user set his/her own AutoReply that persons object modified value is display correctly.
set-searchadminauditlog -startdate “04/03/2024” -enddate “04/19/2024” -cmdlets set-mailboxautoreplyconfiguration
When searching for other cmdlets like set-mailbox, or new-mailbox etc those return a value for ObjectModified.
So i dont get it.

Tab Privacy in Excel
Hi, hoping you might be able to help with this query as I cannot find an answer anywhere.
I need to have multiple tabs in the same spreadsheet for example, called Claire, Des, Laura, Malcolm, Martin, Jackie but I need to make each tab private to all users except to that persons own tab and the main admin who can access them all. Is this possible?
I know you can protect information within each tab from being altered but I need each tab not to been seen by specific users.
Thanks in advance,
Laura

Pricing Update: Token Based Billing for Fine Tuning Training 🎉
We’re updating our billing for fine tuning with the Azure OpenAI Service to bill based on the number of tokens in your training file – instead of the total elapsed training time.
Model
Previous Price
New Price
Babbage-002
$34 / hour
$0.0004/1K tokens
Davinci-002
$40 / hour
$0.006/1K tokens
GPT-35-Turbo (4k)
$45 / hour
$0.008/1K tokens
GPT-35-Turbo (16K)
$68 / hour
$0.008/1K tokens
GPT-4
$102 / hour
$0.080/1K tokens
Why make this change? If you’ve fine-tuned before – or thought about it and decided against it – you may have struggled to estimate the cost. While it’s easy to guess relative time (longer files, more epochs take longer) there’s was no easy way to estimate an exact time. Now, it’s simple: count the number of tokens in your file, multiply that by the per token price, and the number of epochs and you’ve got a decent estimate for the overall costs. Note: the raw token count for your file may be higher than the actual token counts you’ll be charged for, so this is an estimate, not the actual value you will be billed.
In practice, this change will be a substantial discount for some training runs. For example, I recently fine-tuned GPT-35-Turbo 0613 with a small (45k token) dataset over 3 epochs. With hourly billing, this job took 1.5 hours and cost me $67.50 — but with the switch to token based billing, it costs just $1.08! The price difference isn’t quite as big for large files: I trained GPT-35-Turbo 0125 with a large file (2.2M tokens) for one epoch, taking 1 hour and 15 minutes, at a price of $85 when billed hourly – or ~$18 when based on tokens.
Not sure how to count up the tokens in your file? Tools like OpenAI’s tiktoken library make it super simple to specify your model and write a short script to count tokens in your training data. Alternatively, many IDEs support plug-ins to provide token counts right in your status bar.
With these updates, experimenting with fine tuning should be easier than ever: you can easily estimate costs, and with lower and more transparent pricing you can train more models. More training runs allows you to assess the impact of different parameter combinations, data sets and more – and hopefully, create the best custom models for your use case.

FSLogix Antivirus Exclusions with Standard Microsoft Image
I’m using one of the standard Microsoft images for my Azure AVD setup. The multi-session image is Windows 11 Enterprise with O365 and FSLogix pre-installed. I have setup the necessary GPO for FSLogix and all is working well. Can I assume that Microsoft already applied the necessary antivirus exclusions for FSLogix with Defender?
Thanks.

MS Teams Tab sending chats?
I noticed some tabs have a chat tab that corresponds to a chat in the messages tab on the teams client. I’m wondering how you can do that all in one because the docs seem to specify messaging capabilities is a chatbot feature. I’m looking at this and it isn’t clear that my tabs app can send messages as well.

Dell laptop runs OOBE several months after being registered and used
We have a Dell Vostro laptop that has started to bring up the Autopilot oobe after login and connected to Wi-Fi, this is several months after first configuration and monitoring with Intune.
it started when the end user visited a colleague. It initially stuck on the ESP screen with no access to the internet, we used the accessibility button to connect to local Wi-Fi. We rebooted via a hard power reset and it ended up at the final section on the ESP page after the user used her pin to login, also same after email address to login. It doesn’t complete the OOBE process and let her get to her desktop. Remotely Intune EndPoint manager can monitor and restart the system.
Has anyone had this?
Intune Support have collected logs and compared with another Autopilot device and gives Intune a clean bill of health!
User is couriering me the laptop as Intune Support feel it is either a Windows issue or a hardware one.
Suggestions welcome
Paul

Q-B Windows 10 Onedrive 2 PC Sync?
Q-B Desktop Enterprise 2024 Manufacturering and wholesale.
I have 2 PC, 2 workers. Company file located in Onedrive folder, synced to both PC.
Can both PC have the same company file open, and being edited simultaneously, through Onedrive? Is Q-B setup to do that? Is that safe? Should 2 PC edit a file in Onedrive at the same time?
Q-B has a “Multi-User Mode” that I have successfully used, when the file was located offline, on our network, but now I am asking if I can do that with Onedrive instead. Do Q-B users do that, is that normal?
I have no interest in switching to Q-B Online version, I want to stay with Q-B Desktop Enterprise 2024 Manufacturering and wholesale.
I am a novice with Q-B, please do not assume I know any settings, please explain step by step answer, thank you.

OneNote
I need a good and secure description of how my students’ OneNote notes will accompany them when they leave our primary school in a few weeks.
The students have saved their OneNote in an Office 365 environment that many schools in Denmark use. In 14 days, they will be leaving us – most of them for secondary education where their many notes could be very useful. But how does a student do this? The Office 365 they are currently using will be closed when they finish their primary school education. I would really like to know. Thank you in advance for your help.

Questions on Sync and what should I do with one drive after a re-install?
My WIN 11 home laptop comes with Office 365 and OneDrive was set up with the default folders (documents, pictures and desktop). I have a local folder on my C drive (c:mydata) which I want to backup to Onedrive. I copied c:mydata to my OneDrive-personal. Under Windows Explorer, I can see
OneDrive -personal
– Documents
-Pictures
-Desktop
-mydata
and on local, OS(C:)
-mydata
Most of the time, I updated the files under C:mydata. This way, if I lose my network connection, I can continue to work with the updates on C:mydata. Whatever update I did showed up on OneDrive-personalmydata sometime later. I am a casual user. I did not check the delay and did not think much about it. From my experience, I know the updates showed up at least a few hours later. However, I don’t believe this is right because if I use OneDrive as my backup my local update should go to OneDrive immediately otherwise any update will be lost before the sync happens.
My questions are
1. Am I doing things wrong all along? Should I update OneDrive -personalmydat first and wait for the sync to update my local C:mydata?
2. If I have to work on C:mydata because there is no network connection, how can I force a sync to OneDrive as soon as the network is back?
Last week, I got BSOD on my laptop. I had to recover with a re-install. I picked the keep file and data option. After the re-install, I can see
OneDrive -personal
– Documents
-Pictures
-Desktop
-mydata
But I am not sure how current is mydata? I should only be up to the point of the last Sync. Is there anyway to tell when did the last sync happened?
Since I picked save file and data during recovery re-insatll, is there anything I need to do to OneDrive setup after the re-install?
