Hans:
So far, I give the new Microsoft "Excel Tech Community" a grade of "F". They made some serious mistakes when they terminated their previous format:
1) There doesn't seem to be a "rewards" system for contributors
2) Questions are rarely answered
3) I have heard numerous complaints from my associates that tried to use it
4) The format is not as easy as the previous methods
5) For new users, it is not obvious how to navigate to it
All in all, I think they made a mistake. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Rich Locus

Re: Microsoft's New "Excel Tech Community"
Oh... I forgot, there are over 88,000 unread posts asking questions. That statistics says it all.

Re: Microsoft's New "Excel Tech Community"
That one has 22,800 topics, with about 3,000 without replies:
Most reasonable questions get replied to quickly, but badly worded ones may be ignored.
Like all Microsoft's forums, it is not really easy to navigate, but it has a decent code editor, and you can insert images and attach files by drag-and-drop.

Re: Microsoft's New "Excel Tech Community"
Hans... I think the URL I listed above must be the same one you imaged above. However, I don't see the 3,000 results in my page:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ ... /Excel_Cat
Thanks again Hans.

Re: Microsoft's New "Excel Tech Community"
I use this link to see if there are interesting new threads to reply to. That's the one showing "3,000 results".
Best wishes,
Hans

Hans, thanks for the link. I feel like I'm wading into a new body of water, being careful to avoid the rocks :)
