Save a workbook as a template

If you often use the same layout or data in a workbook, save it as a template so you can use the template to create more workbooks instead of starting from scratch.

You can use one of your own templates to create a new workbook, or you can use one of the many predefined templates that you can download from Microsoft Office Online.

Save a workbook as a template

If you’re saving a workbook to a template for the first time, start by setting the default personal templates location :

Click File > Options.

Click Save, and then under Save workbooks, enter the path to the personal templates location in the Default personal templates location box.

This path is typically: C:Users[UserName]DocumentsCustom Office Templates.

Once this option is set, all custom templates you save to the My Templates folder automatically appear under Personal on the New page ( File > New).

Open the workbook you want to use as a template.

Click File > Export.

Under Export, click Change File Type.

In the Workbook File Types box, double-click Template.

In the File name box, type the name you want to use for the template.

Click Save, and then close the template.

On the Timesheet calculator, I need to add another in and out time for when my time is split on the same day. Can you tell me how to formulate the cells for it to figure the times correctly?

Hello! I have been using your Leave tracker for 3 years, and it works every time, its just so great! thank you.
In light of Covid and safe workspace, i think an idea for you is to create an excel which enables employees to mark days in the office, and grey out days for their neighbors? 🙂

Brilliant works.
Sadly this is not what I was looking for.
I tried to get a little problem to calculate automatically.
I use it manual today and want to make it easier.
The problem is when we play bowling and make series over 200 we get points for that.
If you score 200 you get 2 points and following.
If you make 205 you get 2,5 points and so on. 210 makes 3 points.
220 makes 4 points, 240 makes 6 points.
You take the first number 2 and add whit the following 2 and 3. I can´t get it to work in Excel.
Thanks for all the help I can get.
Stefan

Dear Excel Guru,
I have an issue that I am finding hard to resume and I hope that Excel has the functionality to resolve.
1. I have an excel spreadsheet that tracks purchases in a school tuckshop. I have a menu list that has been abbreviated to reduce the size of the document.
2. This list has been converted into a multiple selections drop-down list using VBA.
Problem:
I am trying to figure out how I can get the multiple selections in the drop-down list to transfer the calculation of items purchased into a total box. e.g. MS = $3:50, BA=$2:50.
The dropdown list would look in a cell MS,BA – then in a seperate cell the total $6.00 the addition of the two abbreviated items.

Can this be done

I want in A column only the highlighted/ colored cells to be numbered sequentially, while the unlighted cells numbers undisturbed. As soon as I highlight the cell it should give automatically the next number.
1 Highlighted
1
2
2 Highlighted
