When the InBox looks empty and the following message displays "Currently displaying all messages newer than 12 months", you can change this by following the instructions: How to see more than 12 months worth of emails on Outlook?  However, depending on the number of eMails, see what the IT Helpdesk says: Please do not change the sync date to "All" as this will slow down your Outlook massively due to the sheer size of your inbox.  In regards to searching for those emails, I suggest one of the two: Make your search as detailed and as specific as possible. Use the filters (date from to date to), add a specific sender, etc. or Use Outlook on the web for finding these as that is where it will display you loads more results than the Outlook app search feature.

Tip #41 - Outlook - Creating Meeting Appointments from Emails

This is one of the most useful new features of Outlook I used in 2024. Such a simple way to create meetings from Emails.

I also forgot to mention that it doesn't only work with meeting appointments, if you use tasks you can do exactly the same by dragging the email into your tasks icon to create a new task, secondly it also works with contacts, so if you receive an email you haven't got in your contacts, just drag and drop the email to the people icon and it will create a new contact with all the users info in there.

Any questions let us know.

To calculate the percentage difference between two numbers in Excel, you can use the following formula:

=(New Value - Old Value) / Old Value * 100

For example, here's how you can apply it:

 

  1. Enter the old value in cell A1 and the new value in cell B1.
  2. In cell C1, enter the formula: =(B1 - A1) / A1 * 100.
  3. Press Enter to get the percentage difference.

 

For example, if the old value is 50 and the new value is 75, the formula will be =(75 - 50) / 50 * 100, which results in a 50% increase.

 

If you need to calculate the absolute percentage difference (ignoring whether the change is an increase or decrease), you can use the ABS function:

=ABS((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value * 100)

This will give you the percentage difference without considering the direction of the change.Quick Analysis - What is it and How to

To change text from uppercase to lowercase in Excel, you can use the `LOWER` function. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

 

### Using the LOWER Function

 

1. **Identify the Cell with Uppercase Text:**

   - Suppose cell A1 contains the text "HELLO".

 

2. **Use the LOWER Function:**

   - In a new cell (e.g., B1), enter the formula:

     ```excel

     =LOWER(A1)

     ```

   - This will convert the text in A1 to lowercase and display "hello" in B1.

 

3. **Apply to Multiple Cells:**

   - If you have a range of cells (e.g., A1:A10) that you want to convert to lowercase, you can apply the formula to each cell in the range:

     - In cell B1, enter:

       ```excel

       =LOWER(A1)

       ```

     - Drag the fill handle (a small square at the bottom-right corner of the cell) down from B1 to B10 to apply the formula to the rest of the cells.

 

### Copying and Pasting as Values

 

If you want to replace the original uppercase text with the lowercase text, follow these steps:

 

1. **Convert to Lowercase Using the LOWER Function:**

   - Follow the steps above to convert the text using the `LOWER` function.

 

2. **Copy the Lowercase Text:**

   - Select the cells with the lowercase text (e.g., B1:B10).

   - Right-click and choose "Copy" (or use `Ctrl+C` / `Cmd+C`).

 

3. **Paste as Values Over the Original Text:**

   - Select the original cells with the uppercase text (e.g., A1:A10).

   - Right-click and choose "Paste Special".

   - In the "Paste Special" dialog, choose "Values" and click "OK".

 

This will replace the original uppercase text with the lowercase text.

 

### Example

 

Let's say you have the following data in column A:

 

| A |

|---------|

| HELLO |

| WORLD |

| EXCEL |

| FORMULA |

 

1. **In column B, use the LOWER function:**

 

   | A | B |

   |---------|---------|

   | HELLO | =LOWER(A1) |

   | WORLD | =LOWER(A2) |

   | EXCEL | =LOWER(A3) |

   | FORMULA | =LOWER(A4) |

 

2. **After applying the LOWER function:**

 

   | A | B |

   |---------|---------|

   | HELLO | hello |

   | WORLD | world |

   | EXCEL | excel |

   | FORMULA | formula |

 

3. **Copy the lowercase values from column B to column A using "Paste Special" > "Values".**

 

After these steps, your data will look like this:

 

| A |

|---------|

| hello |

| world |

| excel |

| formula |

 

This method ensures that your text is converted from uppercase to lowercase efficiently.

Q. How to fix problems with google drive "ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR" in Edge or in Chrome

A. If nothing helps - even after closing the application and restarting, do this: Switch another Google Drive that is open is your Browser and then click the GoogleAccount Drop-Down-Menu.  From there click the Account for which you're trying to open the Google Drive for and bob's your uncle!"  If this also doesn't help, delete your Browser Cache.  If this doesn't help, see: How to fix the message "drive.google.com uses an unsupported protocol."
