Microsoft Office Q&A: Ask anything (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) in Software · Sep 11, 2014

Kyle Johnson2 said:So, take a look—does this look alright to you? If you're looking to grab that Excel Chart, just go ahead and download the file.

Just uncheck that little box sitting right in front of the "Use our download manager and get recommended downloads" prompt—once you clear that out of the way, the actual Download button should pop right up.

It’s just not adding up—there's a fundamental mismatch here. You've got eight distinct data points sitting in that table, yet the Excel Chart is only showing seven columns. It’s like trying to fit an eight-passenger SUV into a seven-seat minivan; the math simply doesn't track.

Well, I finally went back in and hit "Select Data," re-highlighted everything from scratch, and—lo and behold—it actually worked this time. Everything looks exactly how it should. Thanks for the help. 🙂

So, here’s the deal—I’m trying to put together a basic Excel Chart where the x-axis uses specific labels (1, 12, *1, *12, etc.—basically following that bottom table) and the y-axis shows the corresponding values.
The weird thing is, whenever I swap those specific labels out for simple placeholders like a, b, c, or d, the software produces a perfectly fine, clean chart. But the second I try to use the actual required labels? Everything falls apart and looks like a total mess.

Does anyone know how I can actually get this to work properly?

Why doesn't God share His knowledge? in Religion · Jun 25, 2012

Maria Robinson2 said:then it's obvious why you aren't getting anything, considering you're blaming God for it.🙄
that's a dangerous path to take—you have to fix your mindset first, only then will the actual need for knowledge arise.
just remember, you can't pull the wool over God's eyes; He only gives to those who sincerely seek... if you're one of those people, I guess you'll know what to do.

Alright, I’ve done it.
So, what’s the next move?

Why doesn't God share His knowledge? in Religion · Jun 16, 2012

I am being completely serious here.
Neve031 claims that I can actually ask God for knowledge—and if that’s really the case, then surely He, or someone else up there, should be able to provide some sort of roadmap on how to go about doing that.

Maria Robinson2 said:Oh, please—that simply can't be right.
Unless you're trying to claim you're some kind of one-of-a-kind specimen—which, I guess, is an option. 😁

Look, I’m telling you—nothing of the sort has ever been offered to me. And even if it was, I clearly missed the signal. If that's the case, I honestly find myself blaming God for it; if He's going to offer something, shouldn't He present it in a way that a person can actually recognize? It seems a bit counterproductive, doesn't it?

So, a question for you: how are one supposed to recognize something when God is offering it?

goldentrucker11 As stated by...
I’ve personally never had anyone reach out to me with an offer like that... 🤷

Have you actually ever sat down and asked Him for guidance, or perhaps sought out His wisdom, or even just anything at all... just being completely honest with yourself? ☕

So, how exactly am I supposed to go about doing that?

Why doesn't God share His knowledge? in Religion · Jun 15, 2012

Maria Robinson2 said:Well, you'll see there are some of us who actually are grateful... I suppose. 🙂

People have been saying for ages that knowledge is laid out before us—it's right there, existing—so it’s really just a matter of who chooses to reach for it.

It's a bit like after-school programs in the States; they're available for anyone who wants them to learn something extra they enjoy—if they feel like it—without any pressure, just individual choice.

God doesn't force anyone to believe in Him, nor does He force anyone to seek knowledge.
He simply offers... the rest is up to the individual, I guess.

Personally, I’ve yet to see an offer on the table.🤷

How much longer do we have to deal with Zodiac? in Feedback & Suggestions · Nov 21, 2009

I drop by the unknown boards about three times a week, and even then, I see just how much of a headache Zod is being toward the mods 🤷

Seriously, does anyone on this forum actually give a damn about who starts a new chat thread on the unknown boards, let alone what they decide to call it? 🙏

Look, Zod, rules are supposed to actually serve a purpose. 😉 You can't just cook up a regulation simply because you’re bored and looking for someone to ban.

And this rule—stating that someone can't just start a new chat topic (after, say, 20,000 posts in the previous one) and name it whatever they feel like—is, to put it mildly, idiotic.

Of course, that chat thread situation isn't the only example, but that seems to be the general logic behind his entire moderation style.

ZZ Top at Madison Square Garden, Oct 16, 2009 in Music · Sep 8, 2009

Patrick Hernandez92 said:It’s honestly pathetic—we just don't have any decent venues available.

The folks over at Madison Square Garden won't take us because they're terrified of a half-empty room; that's the real reason behind it!

Well, I suppose it’s better off sitting empty then.😁

How do I become a mod? in Forum Help! · Jun 2, 2008

don't forget the sheer volume of cash involved, either.😉

How do I become a mod? in Forum Help! · Jun 1, 2008

mistymarlin6 said:Since nobody seems interested in giving this guy a straight answer—at least nothing particularly intelligent, anyway—I’ll step in. I actually started a thread just like this when I first joined the site 😁 (though they shut it down because people wouldn't stop spamming it). First off, you need to hit a certain number of posts—I don't know the exact figure, honestly— so maybe ask around. Then, either the admins will notice you’ve got what it takes to be a moderator (meaning you don't dive headfirst into every single argument , you aren't being rude, you haven't racked up bans or warnings for insults, and you're generally level-headed—all the stuff an actual mod needs to have), or you can just send a private message to one of the current mods depending on which section you're eyeing . Once a mod brings it up at their next meeting—or if they decide they're short-staffed—they might shoot you a PM asking if you're still interested. From that pool of candidates, the mods pick whoever they think is the best fit for the job 🙂. So, yeah, hope that clears things up for you 😁

So, does everyone who lends a hand with a single post suddenly feel entitled to a moderator badge? 😕

Best way to resize images? in Forum Help! · Apr 18, 2008

It would be pretty helpful if...

I spend way too much time hunting down some massive, ultra-high-res image—we’re talking astronomical file sizes here—only to post it on the forum and get hit with a moderator warning🤷
But if I try to resize it first? Well, then I have to download it, open it up, tweak it, and then re-upload everything. It feels like it takes three lifetimes just to get one shot posted🤷 Honestly, I lose all motivation

Is it just me, or is this forum acting weird? (Images aren't loading) in Forum Help! · Apr 16, 2008

Is it possible you accidentally toggled a setting in your firewall or browser to block images from loading? 🤔

How to upload a profile picture (setting an avatar) in Forum Help! · Apr 16, 2008

Just head over to "Options," then click on "Edit Avatar"—it’s pretty straightforward—and pick an image that's 50x50 pixels or smaller. Also, make sure the file size stays under 9.8 kB, otherwise the system might give you a hard time...

Post count? in Forum Help! · Apr 8, 2008

Maybe try sticking to some other threads besides the off-topic section for a change 😉

Thanks for the heads-up... in Forum Help! · Apr 3, 2008

he's just being polite 🤷

The thing is—and I know it sounds like one of those tech clichés—but plenty of people run into this exact headache. For some, a quick purge of their cookies and cache does the trick, while for others... well, it's basically useless 🤷

Personally, ever since I hit this snag for the first time, I’ve just been nuking my private browsing data periodically. Honestly? It’s been weeks and I haven't seen that glitch pop up once...

Dropdown menu issues in Forum Help! · Mar 30, 2008

Honestly, I feel like this "thanks for your report" line has been posted about five hundred times already...

For me and a few others, the real fix was just clearing out the cookies and cache.🤷

Everything you just captured in that screenshot—all of that—is considered private data.😉
