Best way to get FILE NAMES from any Folder in Excel

This is one of the easy way to get File Names from your Windows Folder via "Name Manager".

• At first, create a new Excel worksheet.
• Then, select Cell A1.
• Next, go to “Formulas” tab and click “Name Manager” button.
• In the popup dialog box, click “New” button.

• Subsequently, in the next dialog box, input “Files” in “Name” field.
• And change “=Sheet1!$A$1” to “=FILES(Sheet1!$A$1)” in “Refers to:” field.

• Afterwards, click “OK” and close “Name Manager” dialog box.
• Later, copy the Windows folder path in Cell A1 and add “\*” at the end of the path.
• Next, select the Cell A3 and input the function “=INDEX(Files,ROW()-2)”.

At once, a file in this Windows folder will be listed, like the following image.

• Finally, just copy this function down several rows to list the other files until you see the “#REF!” error. The error means that all files have been listed.

Export High Resolution Images Directly from Microsoft PowerPoint

2. Go to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\\PowerPoint\Options". (xx.xx is your Office version folder number)
3. Find / Create new "ExportBitmapResolution" DWORD entry and set Decimal Value as per your required resolution. eg. 196
4. Open your PowerPoint and save slide as JPEG.

You can now see all the slides were saved with high resolution. 

Connect-SPOService : Current site is not a tenant administration site.

Working around with: Connect-SPOService : Current site is not a tenant administration site.

For the “Current site is not a tenant administration site” error message, which may look like following:
Connect-SPOService : Current site is not a tenant administration site.
At line:1 char:1
+ Connect-SPOService -Url https://mysite.sharepoint.com -Credential $credentials
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Connect-SPOService], ServerException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.Con
nectSPOService

You get this error because you’re not entering the URL for your “Sharepoint Online Administration Center” site… Which is typically your normal sharepoint online URL, but then with a -admin after it, such as:
https://mysite-admin.sharepoint.com (assuming that your sharepoint online site is https://mysite.sharepoint.com). Therefore, then whole Powershell script would be:

Connect-SPOService -Url https://mysite-admin.sharepoint.com -credential username@mysharepointsite.com

NOTE: The -admin site is setup automatically. You don’t have to do anything. Just type in your sitename and then add the -admin.sharepoint.com to the end and you’ll be prompted to log in.
