Rich needs to VLOOKUP into data with ” Total” after the tracking number.

When he tries to Replace ” Total” with “”, Excel converts the tracking numbers to scientific notation. When he tries to convert everything to numbers and I lose the last several digits when they change to 0000.

In today’s video, a new option in Microsoft 365 beta to prevent the conversion to scientific notation. And then a way to hack the VLOOKUP formula.

Today, a great idea from Yure in Brazil.
He is using concatenation inside the HYPERLINK function to create a MailTo hyperlink. Click the cell in Excel and your e-mail program opens with the Recipient, Subject, and Body already filled in.
However… it the hyperlink grows to more than 255 characters, we are getting a #VALUE! error instead.
Can you go and vote to ask the Excel team to increase the limit for the HYPERLINK function: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/b71ba7be-0944-ec11-a81a-0022484e21f1

What if you want to map custom regions in Excel 3D Map?
After yesterday’s video importing KML files from the Census.Gov site, today, we take a look at creating your own KML file using Google Maps and then exporting it to Excel.

In today’s example, I create a custom map of 10 neighborhood allotments.

Google Maps makes it easy to draw new polygons, name them, and then export the layer to KML. You can then import to Excel for Windows using 3D Maps.

Ozveri is wondering why the Excel Filled Map Chart shows the entire world when he has just a few countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It is an annoying part of Excel Filled Map Charts. But there is a solution. It is buried where you will never find it.
Format the data series in Excel and choose Only Regions with Data.
