How do I stop Excel from messing up my links? - hyperlink

Excel 16.66.1 for Mac, Monterey (12.6)
I have this Excel file which has a table. One of the columns contains text with links attached to them (added using Control-K).
I add lines to these tables about once a week. I don't re-sort, but I do shift down lines to make room for new lines so that the recently added are always on top.
Now - every time I return to the file, the underlying links are moved to other cells or removed altogether. This way I find myself fixing more and more links every time.
What is wrong? Is it a bug?
Thanks,
Nathan

Cytoscape won't let me upload table to a network collection the only option was to unassigned table. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

the drop-down option isn't available so my table is automatically imported as unassigned table. Anybody come across this issue before? Or is there something wrong with my table setting?

Not sure what you were expecting. According to the screenshot, you don't have any networks open, so an imported table can only be unassigned. If, on the other hand, you are trying to import a network, you need to use import network from file, not import table from file.

I had the same issue, and ended up spending 3-4 hours on this.
This icon on the tool-bar allows loading of networks from tables without any issue. I was very lucky to find this solution in a video on YouTube(!): https://youtu.be/Z8jUmJL2HFw?t=52, but not in the Cytoscapes documentation.
To me, Cytoscape's file import system felt very un-intuitive. I am not sure why cytoscape does not have a unified import system for loading simple (csv/tsv) tables. Following are few ways that did not work in my case. I am using version 3.9.0. In both of these cases the table got imported as 'Unassigned table'.
Drag and drop 'Edge Table'/'Network table'.
File > Import > Import from file
I went through the documentation and I am still not sure what is the use of 'Unassigned table'. How to assign the columns as source, target etc in the 'Unassigned table'? Even the sample tables shown in the Cytoscape's manual did the same(!).
By the way, I am not sure why the Cytoscape's documentation is not intuitive. For example, I googled 'cytoscape import table' and this slide show showed up as a 1st result: https://cytoscape.org/cytoscape-tutorials/protocols/importing-data-from-tables/#/5 . From the title of the slideshow i.e. 'Importing data from tables', I assumed that it will guide me through how to generate network from tabular data. However, instead it shows how to load data for nodes, which does not create a network(!). Why not demonstrate how to load edge/network data and guide us through the process till the generation of the network? I hope this will improve in next versions of CytoScape.
Anyways, I hope the solution helps.

When saving PDF (manually and also by script), some cells with values appear empty (Google Sheets)

Updating the question, the problem I could see was not with the script but directly with the spreadsheet.
I tried to save the PDF manually and some images still not showing up.
In Spreadsheet File Online:
PDF Save Manually:
The curious fact is that until yesterday this was not happening.
Link to Spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tg3p3q0gPKWPoeoxbFTE5tJgrU5dQnGa6ok2LcsXNns/edit#gid=45463727&range=A1
Obs.: I removed all other pages from the spreadsheet, also removed the formulas and left this page to share, with values only. Still the error still persists when I create a pdf
Try calling SpreadsheetApp.flush(); on the line before you create the PDF. This will force an update of all calculations before creating the PDF.
If this doesn't work then you'll need to post your script and some samples so we can try to reproduce the problem.

Find and Replace emojis in Google Sheets

When I export my Google Sheets to a third party app that crunches the data, it will always spit out an error code if my written content has emojis (which it often does, due to the nature of the content). Other icons like ► are fine. It's just emojis: The app isn't coded to parse them!
Basically—if it's an emoji, I want to be able to identify and delete it. RegExtract isn't working. Any ideas? Manually deleting isn't that time-consuming, but it's annoying. Thank you!
Try regexreplace. For example this will remove emoji in column A:
=arrayformula(regexreplace(A2:A,"[\x{1F300}-\x{1F64F}]|[\x{2702}-\x{27B0}]|[\x{1F68}-\x{1F6C}]|[\x{1F30}-\x{1F70}]|[\x{2600}-\x{26ff}]|[\x{D83C}-\x{DBFF}\x{DC00}-\x{DFFF}]",""))

XCode snippet with automatically generated date and correct tabs

I've got a question regarding code snippets in XCode. I'm using them a lot, but there are 2 things that bother me since using them:
How can I add a placeholder for an automatically generated date? Is this possible, or do I have to write a script that inserts the date when the snippet is created...?
How can I format tab spaces in a code snippet so that the inserted code actually contains tabs and not only spaces?
Would be great if someone of you out there could answer these questions, because I think these things should be possible without much effort.
Have a nice day!

Trying to save a workbook that contains macros

I recently upgraded to Excel 2010. I was working on a spreadsheet and wrote some code and went to save it and I get this box that pops up. I'm not sure what to do.
From Office 2007 on, Excel has two different file types: XLSX and XLSM. The former is just data and formatting without macros or anything "dangerous." The latter allows macros and other programmatic functionality. The reason for the split is mainly security as each one has a distinct extension and icon to better inform the user on whether or not the file could potentially contain dangerous content.
In this instance, you need to click No, then in the Save As... options select "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook." That will give you the full functionality of the original document.
