Welcome to our forum. Here are a few rules and guidelines to help you get started and make your experience here a good one.
If you can follow these rules then this will give you the best chance of getting an answer to your problem.
Creating a Post / Registering
Our public forums can be read by anyone, but if you want to post a question you must first register an account:
If you already have a login to our site because you are a course member, you do not need to create a separate forum account. Just login with your course username and you can post questions.
Posting
- All posts are moderated. Don't even bother trying to post adverts.
- Make the title of your post short and use it to explain the problem.
- Attach your workbook containing the data and/or macro you are having an issue with. I can't stress this enough. Don't type in lots of data or code. We don't have time to recreate the workbooks.
- State what version of Excel you are using. Are you on a Mac or PC?
- If your file is too large to attach in the forum, save it somewhere else like OneDrive or Dropbox and link to it.
- Describe your issue clearly and explain what you expect as a result. Include examples of how you want things to work.
- If you have posted the issue on another forum (cross-posting) then say so and link to it.
- When replying to a post, do not quote the entire post, doing so is just cluttering up the thread and the quote will be deleted.
- Always start your own post. Do not add your post to an existing thread.
- Don't open multiple posts for the same issue.
- Everything in your post or in any attachments/workbook you provide are publicly accessible. Do not post or include private or sensitive data in files.
