Power Automate/MS Forms - Checking for blank responses
I've created a MS Form that asks a number of questions, some of which are branched off of others. The responses are pulled using Power Automate and fed into a MS Word doc template that already has the questions and gets populated with the responses. The result is a document with all the possible questions, but only responses from the branch of questions answered based on the individuals' answers. In an ideal world I'd love for the questions to be pulled from the Form only if there's a response entered, and not if there isn't, but it doesn't seem like that's an option (at least not a relatively easy one). So instead, we want to have Power Automate check each question and if there isn't response, have it display the text "Intentionally unanswered". Is there a way to do this without having to set a condition for each question? There are about 50 questions on the Form and sometimes only half of them end up getting responses.
Google to O365 Migration Batch
I migrated our email from Google to O365. One of the batches says they all failed, but the emails did transfer over. If I delete the batch, will it remove the emails that already migrated or cause any other issues? I get an email every 15 minutes with the error for the batch, so I'd like to just delete it if it wont hurt anything. The boxes are working fine, and history migrated already with no reported data loss. The error is a forwarding thing that seems unresolvable. For additional context I used the automated tool.
Marketplace Offers - Upload of .app taking a long time
I've had a hunt for an answer for this and can't find anything. I have a BC365 "contact me" offer that I am creating via MS Partner Centre. I am on the Technical Configuration page and am required to upload a .app file. I have the file, titled "Name of App_1.0.0.0.app". When I upload it to the page the app is listed, however the page does two things: A stream of dots ....... travels along the top of the page, as if it is still busy "doing something" The Save Draft and Review and Publish buttons are greyed out I've been sitting on this page for 30 mins or longer. When I navigate away from the page I am warned that changes may not be saved, and if I continue to navigate away and come back to this page, I lose the file I am attempting to upload. What am I missing? Thanks Janie
Copilot File-Based Agents Can’t Recall Knowledge Source Files - Anyone Else Seeing Improvements?
Hi Copilot Community, I believe this is still a pretty well-known issue with Copilot File-Based Agents struggling with pointing to or “attaching” files in FBA’s. I wanted to start a conversation around something we’ve been running into lately with file-based Copilot agents, and I’m curious if others are seeing similar issues — or better yet, if you’ve found any solid workarounds. We’re a pretty active Copilot user org with over 50 licensed users, and we’ve been building and testing a range of file-based agents. The core issue we’re facing is that agents are consistently struggling to access, attach, or reference documents that have been added to their own knowledge sources — even when everything is configured correctly. Here’s a quick breakdown of what we’re experiencing: File-based agents aren’t able to recall or point to the files in their knowledge base. It doesn’t matter if we upload PDFs, Word docs, Excel files, .txt files, or even URLs — the agent just doesn’t seem to “see” them during a prompt. We’ve tried uploading files both directly and through folders. Still no luck. When I prompt the agent, I only get options to upload “from device” or “from cloud,” but there’s no way to reference or select files that were already added to the agent’s knowledge source in Copilot Studio. I’ve shared these agents with other users, given them the same permissions and access I have as the agent builder — but they still can’t access or see the same files during a conversation. Super frustrating when trying to collaborate or test together. Some Additional Context: Newly added SharePoint Premium One thing that might be worth mentioning: we recently added SharePoint Premium to our Microsoft suite. It’s only rolled out to a limited number of users for now, so I’m not sure if that’s contributing to the issue — but curious if anyone has seen changes in how file-based agents behave after that upgrade. Also, we have some agents we built a couple of months ago that used to recall files just fine, and now those same agents aren’t able to reference the same documents anymore. We didn’t change the setup, so we’re wondering if something changed on the backend. What I’m Hoping to Learn - Is anyone else out there seeing this? - Are file-based agents just fundamentally broken right now when it comes to document recall? - Does SharePoint Premium play a role here? Have you found any real workarounds — not just pasting text in manually — that make these agents more usable? We’ve tried the obvious stuff: summarizing documents and injecting that into the system prompt, linking SharePoint folders, even playing with permissions. Nothing has fully solved it. Would love to hear if this is something Microsoft is already working on — or if there’s any community guidance I’m missing. Thanks in advance! — Scott R
Lost Macros
Hi, I was speaking to a tech support person in chat and they sent me here after poking around on my computer. I have lost my Macros in EXCEL 365 twice. The first time Excel froze and I had to start excel. the second time was last night. There was some sort of update on my computer over night. It didn't seem to affect Excel as I was able to continue working on it this morning. But when I went to apply a macro they were all gone. I am not very tech savvy but I read something that said it could be retrieved if I went to a folder called XLSTART but when I went there the folder was empty. I want my macros back as they took hours to make and get them right. I also want to ensure that this won't happen again. I am not sure if antivirus software has anything to do with this. I just know I never had this problem with older versions of excel. PLEASE HELP! I can't get any work done if I am constantly trying to rewrite macros.
What do you do for a living?
Hi all, I'm pursuing an economics degree at the university of Central Florida currently. I thought it would be a good idea to start learning how to use Microsoft excel and other programs because I figured I would be using these a lot whenever I graduate and get a job. My question however is I'm not really sure what I want to do with my degree. I like trading stocks and options a lot and would like to do something involving the stock market ideally, but what do you guys do for a living? And what programs do you use for your job such as excel? What programs are popular with different companies as far as accounting and stuff like that. I'm just trying to get a read on what programs companies are using these days. Any responses are appreciated. I'm very curious and want to learn a lot Thanks!
