I am looking for a way to take input of Business Processes in Excel.
The processes can be complex for example
I have seen couple of representations like,

But most of them are not friendly for a non technical user.
Any help would be appreciated.
Start Excel. By default, a blank worksheet opens. Select the "Page Layout" tab, click "Orientation" in the Page Setup group and choose "Landscape."
Select the "Insert" tab. Click "SmartArt" in the Illustrations group to open the Choose a SmartArt Graphic dialog.
Choose "Process" in the list of chart types. Select the process chart subtype that best suits your needs, such as "Step Down Process" or "Gear" to preview it and read a description. Click "OK" to select the graphic with which you want to begin.
Add text to the first step in the process. Click on the sample text and type the text you want displayed directly over it. Type the desired text onto each shape.
Add an additional shape for each step in your business process. Click on a shape that will connect to the new shape and select the "Design" tab under SmartArt Tools. Click the "Add Shape" drop-down arrow in the Create Graphic section and choose where you want to add a new shape, such as before, after, above or below the current shape.
Customize the appearance of the flow chart. Click anywhere within the flow chart to select it and select the "Design" tab under SmartArt Tools. Click the "Change Colors" button in the SmartArt Tools section and click on the color scheme you want to apply. Click the SmartArt Styles drop-down arrow and select a 3-D or other style.
Click the "Save" button on the Quick Access toolbar or press "Ctrl-S" to save the completed business process flow chart before closing the worksheet.
Hope to useful..

I was looking for a way to insert checkboxes in Excel cells as a Data Validation criteria. In the Excel settings for Data Validation, we only have Any value, Whole Number, Decimal, List, Date, Time, Text Length and Custom. In Google Sheets, we have Checkbox as one of them.
Right click on the top tabs/ribbons
Click Customize the Ribbon..
Check the Developer box on the right side
Click OK
Click the now visible Developer Tab
Click Insert Icon (Looks like a gray briefcase)
Click the Checkbox
Click the spot on the sheet where you want the checkbox
I have created an "Expandable/Collapsible" structure using VBA. I have added some form controls, like a dropdown or option buttons in each of the section, but the issue is that, when the whole thing is collapsed, the form controls are visible in the button. please check the screenshot and advise a solution.
Yes that is because you have not selected Move and Size with cells.
That option is greyed out when you right click on the control and then click on Format Controls | Properties | Move and Size with cells for Option Button and Combo Box as shown below.
You need to use a different way to activate it.
Click the control and then click as shown below
And then from there you can set those properties.
Now those controls will hide when you collapse the rows.
So, I wanted to make a scroll bar in Excel, but failed due to inaccessibility of Developer tab in excel. I tried to click with the right click on the Excel menu tab but it didn't react in no way, also I tried to press Ctrl + Right click of the scroll bar on the Mac, but either way the pop up menu where you can choose to Customize the ribbon didn't appear. I ready on several how-to's that there is a Excel options where you can access Developer tab, but I simply don't have "Options" on File tab. I am using Excel 2016 on Mac. by the way, I need this scroll bar to control whether the user inputs more than max first payment for the loan ( Max first payment depends on why the loan has been taken). Maybe some of you knows better way to check whether the input is valid?
I use Excel for Mac, developer tab is available as follows:
From the menu bar, Excel > Preferences > View > 'In Ribbon Show' (Developer Tab)
If it isn't there the Excel Preferences window has a search function, try searching 'developer'.
Good luck, hope you find it.
Well I found a solution to your Issue. Most times so many tabs are left out due to the average consumer not using them. I simply navigated to the FILE tab at the top left corner of Excel (2013), click on Options and clicked on Customize Ribbon.
You should fine the Developer Tab unclicked. Below are some screenshots to help out. Hope
this helps.

When editing the action button properties, it allows an #if statement to flip/flop two choices (lock/unlock). i.e. #If(enlock=1;"Unlock";"Lock") for the "Label" of the action button.
At the bottom of the Action properties, icons can be None, Notes, or Custom. When I select Custom, I want the #if to use either the Locked/Unlocked Notes icons. (actn084.gif and actn085.gif, respectively) Or numbers #62 (locked) and #(I don't know/can't find, the # for the unlock icon).
I've tried formula with the icon number, like in a view, "display as icons" for view column. Using an #if, I've tried the gif on local and server replica's and it didn't give any results.
Please see the example image below.

You have to add actn084.gif and actn085.gif to Resources/Images.
Then, you can use a formula
#If(enlock=1;"actn085.gif";"actn084.gif")
for calculating icon.
As an alternative, you could create two buttons and hide-when them depending on field enlock. You could assign label and icon direct to buttons without formula then.
The hide formula would be enlock=1 for first button and enlock!=1 for the second. In both buttons you would have to add #Command([RefreshHideFormulas]); at the end of your action formula to refresh the action buttons (or Call uiDoc.RefreshHideFormulas for LotusScript action code).
I cannot find how to add a country to drop down menu when creating account, lead or contact. At the moment I see only 2 countries. I need to add one more and make it as default one. So when I create lead, contact or account I don't need to choose every time. I have all the rights but no knowledge.
Click on the Customize tab on the top of form ribbon and then select the Form option.
Form will open in edit mode, double click on country field and on new window select the Details tab.
Click on Edit button, a new window will open
Add new option by clicking on the green colour plus button (pointed out in screenshot below).
Select the default country from default value drop down (pointed out in screenshot below).
Save and close the Field window
Save and Publish the form.
You are ready to go.
