How to open two excel files in two excel windows using multiple monitors in Windows 7.
Currently it opens multiple files on top of each other on the same one monitor.
I found this article in a blog it says
"The snap feature that you are looking for will not work unless you open two instances of Excel. This is because Excel Unlike Word is not a True SDI Application. Microsoft is aware of the Issue however there is no resolution to the problem but the workaround"
Hello there,
I want to convert a xls or xlsx file to dbf.
i found some converting software. only they have some limitation on maximum rows. (http://www.whitetown.com/xls2dbf/)
in previous versions of office (2003) you could save your excel file as dbf.
now we have Office 2013. but it seems that this function is not available anymore.
Does anyone know if there is a free add-in or software package where i can convert or save my excel file into dbf?
thanks,
I have been fighting with this one, we have a excel report that use PowerPivot to connect to multiple data sources and using VBA a Refresh button that updates the data. This is working but there is a slight twist, we also have a Parameters sheet that the user can enter values that are used to calculate some of the columns, this is done using PowerPivot Linked tables.
The problem is that the LinkedTable only get updated if the user does a 'Update All' under PowerPivot ribbon or open the PowerPivot Window. I need to in VBA get a hande to the LinkedTable and trigger a refresh before the rest of the refresh logic is excecuted.
Some things I have tried:
Sheets("Parameters").ListObjects("{LinkedTableName}").QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
Sheets("Parameters").Range("{LinkTableRange}").ListObject.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
Sheets("Parameters").PivotTables("{LinkedTableName}").Update
I can get a handle on the ListObject but everytime I get to the QueryTable it bombs out with Application-defined or object-defined error. It almost seeks like it want me to go through a database connection, but that does not make sense. My LinkTable is a local excel table so it should refresh into PowerPivot data without going anywhere.
Any help will be appreciated!
Hi,
Was advise by "Community" to post this one here.
The environment:
Window 7 Sp1 x64
Office 2013 Sp1 32 bit
Windows 2012 Server (current patches).
Two IDENTICAL network connected printers shared from above Windows 2012 server.
As the two printers are the same, they both use the same printer driver.
Printer A is set to Greyscale. This is the default printer.
Printer B is set to Full Colour.
Open Excel and start a blank worksheet.
Choose Print - this shows the default printer (Printer A) - then Printer Properties - this verifies that the Default Printer is set to Greyscale as expected.
Change printer within Excel to Printer B - then printer properties again - this shows us that printing is STILL in Greyscale ignoring the Printer B settings. Printing will indeed produce a greyscale print on Printer B.
The reverse is also true - if we set Printer B (Color) as the Default, then choose Printer A (Greyscale) inside Excel, it will then show (and print) in Full Color - ignoring the printer A setting of greyscale.
This ONLY occurs when connecting to Shared Printers on a Windows host (Server 2012 in this case).
Direct IP printing from Win 7 to the printer works as expected (printer settings honoured).
Non-Windows server based printer sharing works as expected (printer settings honoured).
This ONLY occurs in Excel. Other programs including other Office components do not exhibit this bizarre behaviour.
This ONLY occurs where the same driver is used by both printers.
In effect, Excel is transposing the Default printer's settings onto whatever printer is chosen if it uses the same driver.
Installing Office 2013 Service Pack 1 made no difference.
This appears to be a long running issue (search result show Excel 2007,2010* and Windows 2008R2 server references).
*Confirmed same behaviour with Windows XP and Excel 2010.
This appears to affect multiple brands of printer (Xerox, Konica Minolta). Confirmed with 3 different generation Konica Minolta (Postscript) copiers and Dell multifunction (with PCL drivers).
Does anyone have a solution for this ?
Is there a setting hidden in Excel that should be changed ?
Is there a server setting to "isolate" the two printers from each other ?
Regards
Ian
Excel 2013.
I have a template file (.xltx) that I am trying to modify to remove links to external files. In two cells I have references to labels (=_MIA097 and =_MIB097) that exist in an external file and somehow these are linked to that file. I DO NOT want them linked to any file right now as I am working in the template. So I select the two cells, edit links, break the links, and the actual values of the data in the external file are now in the cell. I now want to be able to put the label references back (e.g., =_MIA097) WITHOUT Excel automatically linking them back to the document I just unlinked from. I cannot get that to happen. Anyone know how I can remedy this?
P.S. I use this template to programmatically create a sheet in a workbook. These label references will then be programmatically tided to corresponding cells in the workbook being created. I DO NOT want the template file to have ANY external link. Just the dummy label references.

Hey there,
So I have a pivot table where the "Date" field is used as the report header to filter the entire table.
I am aware that I can use the following to select specific dates or items from the availabe list:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Date").CurrentPage = _
"(All)"
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Date")
.PivotItems("6/25/2014").Visible = True
.PivotItems("6/27/2014").Visible = False
End With
However, this will require that I force a loop that redefines those visible dates each time the macro is run. Given that we will always be looking for all dates with a fixed range (14th of last month to 15th of this month), can I use something like the xlDateBetween argument to ask Excel to filter on all dates in a given range?
Thanks for your advice.
I've been running a number of macros on a large number of files successfully for some time now..until today. Now, when I try to open an excel file the personal.xlsb file no longer opens. If I enable it (it's in the disabled add-ins), and try to open any excel file, the program crashes and I get this. Now, I can't even create a macro. Thoughts?

Hello,
I am helping a customer that has a strange problem in Excel. Ill explain it by taking you through some steps.
We have not tested on all machines in the user environment, but everything points to that all users in that company is facing the same issues. So it seems to be an environmental thing as its unlikely that many users simultaniously are facing installation problems or the like.
Any ideas?

I have sheet 1 containing rows of information (address, name etc.)
There are 3 different names on the records, and I want sheets 2, 3, and 4 to contain the records for each respective name , and for them to all automatically update any time a record gets put into sheet 1.
Is this a simple matter of data linking? So can I add a filter to a sheet that will permanently stay on? Or is there a function that will do the same thing more reliably?
HiI posted this on the Microsoft Community forum and have been advised that i should ask my questions here.
I have a few bits of code that require unprotect>>>carry out procedure>>>protect worksheet. However as soon as I share the workbook for multiple users the vba codes will not work when workbook has been shared. I am using Excel 2010 in Windows 7
So I have two questions please.
1 - Is there any new info available on what functions etc will work in shared excel workbooks - is there a work around so we can unprotect/protect sheets in shared workbooks?
2 - I am thinking that if I cannot protect worksheets can I stop users from entering data in cells that contain formula? I did wonder about code that migth only allow them select blank cells - but then again users may need to edit thier input.
Where do I start please?
Thank you!
I have read all of the postings on this question. I am having the same problem! However I do not see any solution. I see a lot of "I think's", or "try this'", but no clear cut-solution. Let me restate;
I am running Excel 2010 in Office Professional:
I want to print a long spread sheet and I would like the title row repeated on the top of each page. I specify the print area range. The first row is frozen, so that when I scroll through my work on screen, I can differentiate the column information by having the first row frozen. I want this to happen when I print this long document.
I go to print and go to Page Setup. I select the "Sheet" tab. The Print address bar area is disabled (grayed), but my print range is there. Under "Print" Titles", both selections are disabled (grayed); "Rows to Repeat at Top" and Columns to Repeat at Left"
are unavailable for selection. The address selection button on the right, of each of these three address range bars are also disabled (grayed).
This worksheet is on my hard drive. It is the only worksheet in the file. When I click on the worksheet tab, it does not say "Ungroup Sheets" which means that sheets have never been grouped.
I have been using Excel since Excel 95. I have done this many times in past versions, and it is a relatively simple procedure. Does any know why I can not access this feature in Excel 2010?
I am having this problem on Win 8 Pro, using Excel 2013 - it is not giving an error though; it simply opens Excel with no workbook loaded...
Please advise - thank you in advance,
I am creating a spreadsheet with 2000 data entries, that requires additional information to be filled out. I am trying to make the spreadsheet a little more user friendly, and have certain columns prefilled out based on certain selections.
I have a drop down menu beginning in column O4 with four options (Yes, No, Performing another mission, or No longer employed).
If they select Yes in Column O4, I would like Column P4 and Q4 to auto populate and say N/A. And Column R4 will display a drop down menu, call Status.
If they select No in Column O4, than I would like Column P4 to provide a drop down menu called Programs, column Q4 to display N/A, and column R4 to display a drop down menu call Status.
If the select Performing a another Mission in Column O4, I would like Column P4 to display N/A, Column Q4 to display a drop down menu called Funding Source. Funding source has 3 options (confirmed, 4654, 4646). If they select confirmed in Column Q4, I would like R4 to display N/A. If they select 4654 or 4646, I would like R4 to display a drop down menu called Status.
If they select No longer employed in Column O4, I would like Column P4, Q4 and R4 to display N/A.
If Column I4 displays BMM, than Column Q4 automatically displays N/A of other selections.
If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions, please reply. Thank You.
Hi, I'm an excel portuguese language user and I need some help, but I really don't know the english names of the excel's features. I tried to ask for help at MS brazilian' forum, and then on the english one but by this time no one knew how to help,
so they send me here.

Hi
I have been looking into creating a simple formula that I can apply to a column in Excel. The basic functionality that I am trying to create is to shade a cell depending upon the values of two or more cells on the same work sheet.
An example is as follows;
If cell A1 contains the text "1 Hour" and cell B1 contains the text "No" then cell A1 should be filled with the colour red.
If cell A1 contains the text "1 Hour" and cell B1 contains the text "Yes" then cell A1 should be filled with the colour amber.
IF cell A1 contains the text "30 Minutes" and cell B1 contains the text "No" then Cell A1 should be filled with the colour green. In the case of the value in A1 being 30 Minutes there is no option to have B1 as anything but No.
Ideally I would like to do this via a formula that the in-built conditional formatting tool will accept since I am really new to VBA. I can use conditional formatting to do this for a single cell value in A1, but I can't figure out how to work this when I introduce variables in both A1 and B1.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Using Win7 & MSO Pro 2007.
When I try to open an Excel file two unusual things happen after the splash window opens
1> A message box opens and says stdole32.tlb. When dismissed by clicking[OK]...
2> A window opens and starts to configure MSO Pro 2007 which takes 20-40 seconds to complete
Taking a clue from KB 2528748 ..
3> I looked in the registry at: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options and
found no NoReReg Key, so
4> I executed , in the RUN BOX..
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
The registry now contains the appropriate noReReg key BUT the the behavior remains unchanged.
Is this likely due to the unclear message about stdole32.tlb at1>?
Could some one help me unravel and fix this nuisance problem?
Thanx
