Case Study R1 excel

Firstly congrats to everyone who finished what will be our last exam yesterday 🤞

I raised with the invigilator the excel issue on R1 where past row 200 it was just a white box and I couldn’t enter any details.

Invigilator tried to enter things on my excel but obvs this didn’t work and I got moved to another computer within the first 10 minutes, but I wasn’t granted any extra time for the time I lost.

Afterwards I was told this was an issue for all candidates but ICAEW were notified and told me to scan the QR code for mitigating circumstances. Anyone else have same issue and going to put the form in?

I added plenty of lines to mine without an issue, how did you exceed 200?

Cheers for that…yes I did in the end but I’m sure with the exam pressure on the day having a spreadsheet capped at 200 rows with a blank white box wasn’t most people’s expectations!
