Hi Tom,

Just a business owner looking for relatively simple excel fixes from time to time. Where do I choose a relevant sub-forum to post a question..

Welcome,

If you are a beginner you may find the Tips and Tutorials Sub Forum a bit overwhelming, but a quick look does no harm
http://www.excelforum.com/tips-and-tutorials/

If you need help, the main three Sub Forums are:
Excel general
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-general/

Excel Formulas & Functions
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-formulas-and-functions/

Excel Programming / VBA / Macros
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-programming-vba-macros/

In the first “Excel General Forum”, _...
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-general/
_... there is also a basics Sub Forum
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-new-users-basics/

Those 4 Sub Forums are most likely the ones for you to Post a question in, but there are some more specialised ones, as well as “Off Topic” Sub Forums which you are welcome to Post in.


Please, if you get time, take some time before posting to read the Forum Rules here
http://www.excelforum.com/forum-rule...rum-rules.html
http://www.excelforum.com/forums-rules/
It is usually worth it in the long run.

Thanks



Practice Posting techniques, for example here:
http://www.excelforum.com/development-testing-forum/
( you need to be logged in to access that Sub Forum ). Just start a Thread with a Title like " Just testing posting techniques " , and post and reply to yourself until you get the hang of things.. practice editing the post, and Title , Go ing Advanced in Reply , Practice posting code in Code Tags etc... etc.. etc...

If you have a specific Question, some general advise...
Unless someone is very familiar with having done something exactly as what you are trying to do, then a detailed description along with a good “Picture” is very essential: And test data is helpful to have:
Remember to reduce the amount of test data to the minimum required to demonstrate typical scenarios. Desensitize the data if necessary.
Show us clearly what you have and the results you want to achieve.
Please do not use images to show spreadsheet data, as we cannot copy them to a worksheet.

Please
Either:
Post screenshots COPYABLE to a Spreadsheet: – See my signature below,
or here:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ml#post4399581
Practice here:
http://www.excelforum.com/development-testing-forum/

OR:
Upload a Workbook: See here:
http://www.excelforum.com/the-water-...his-forum.html ( Method 2 and Method 3 )
http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...ml#post4335120
OR:
There is also the file share site option such as this free thing:
https://app.box.com/signup/personal
(_ .Remember to select Share after uploading and give us the link they provide if you use that )
But Note: a lot of people can’t / won’t download a File from an external site. So this method is not preferred here
For security reasons and to increase your chances of a response, It is preferable to upload a File with no codes in it and post any codes in the Thread ( using Code Tags # )

OR:
Select the table Icon above, select an appropriate size table and fill it in (If replying to a Thread you may need to select the Go Advanced Button, ( bottom right of reply Window ) to get the Table Icon to show )


Practice all that here:
