Hey Leila, I have attended your VBA course for Excel last time. That can't overstate how great your course is. I still use it to this day and I still go back to the course from time to time for what you've taught me. Yes, I honestly feel the need to have the VBA power on the web. If you are planning to have Office Scripts course, I will definitely be the first student in your class!

Thanks Leila for your very informative videos. It is much appreciated! I have been trying to use Office Script to format a date that is stored as text as 20241106 for example and when I use the formula = Text(Date(Left(A1,4),Mid(A1,5,2) Right (A1,2),"mm /dd /yyyy") Excel changes the format to the correct date format, but when I record it and run the script it removes all of the dates from the column and just shows as blank cells. I am trying to figure out why this keeps happening. Are you able to advise me please?

I can imagine that they may not do so in order to fit into a longer term strategy to eventually make excel web the primary version of excel rather than the desktop verison. It would make sense among the strategies from the big tech players. Even if it doesn't add value for a long time for many users, it certainly adds value in the area of data storage. Offline business process means that you're duplicating large files many many times while you're emailing or otherwise sharing it. And while digitalization keeps advancing as it does then the cost of this storage will certainly add up to amounts that may not be feasible. Now i don't have enough knowledge to say whether these costs relate directly to how many GB's are on servers or whether it's more complex but i know that the costs are definitely there.

Hi Leila, Thanks for your nice and easy to understand videos. I have a relatively simple project that I want to do in office scripts. Here's the project: There are 16 files in a folder like 1, 2, 3, 4...16. Each file has 5 worksheets with similar names like a, b, c, d, e. The task is to summarize all these files. I need to copy cell 'B2", 'B3' and 'C2:F2' from all files' x worksheets and paste those into a file name Summary's worksheet 'summary' cell B1, B2, 'B3:F3' respectively. All copied cells will be pasted one after another in the summary file. I can run manually without any auto trigger as it is required to do occasionally. The objective is to avoid copy paste manually which is error prone. How can I achieve this? Thanks, Ash

Hey Leila, is there any way to ignore events/prompts/display allerts with script (like in VBA)? What i mean - i made a very simple script - refresh all data connections (Analyze in Excel file for Power BI), and script works fine but data doesn't update. I think the problem is that prompt window when i do manually refresh by clicking "Refresh All data connections" button in Data tab and there appear mentioned prompt abou Conection Safety (i have to click Agree/ok to run refreshing), and i think script doesn't "see" it so it just cancel refreshing... In few words: Run script (pivot tables refresh) and it runs, but pivot tables doesn't start, nothing happens. any idea?

I have used an xlookup to identify the customers in the master list that need to be removed and when recording the script, and I filter the column to list the customer's to be deleted (then delete all rows to be left with the rest which are the #N/A) the script lists the customers. How do I point this "getvaluesfilter to the table so it is dynamic as we may add more customers to be excluded table?
