Performance Limitations of Multiple Users Hitting 1 Worksheet
- Most user on Excel 2010
- Worksheets to be stored on a networked server
- User accessing worksheet data using prebuilt (controlled) .odc files from their own workbooks
- This is a large corporation with up-to-date networks
We plan to build a simple solution for ad hoc reporting needs that dumps data nightly into Excel workbooks. We plan to use prebuilt data connection files to control the size of the data a user can connect to.
The one thing that we don't know is how this arrangement will hold up under heavy usage. If 10, 20 or 50 users all begin to hit the data at the same time, what is likely to happen to performance? Is there any risk of the system grinding to a halt?
Thank you!

I am looking for a way to edit what options are available in the quick analysis menu but having no luck with search. Like I said, I just want to know if there is a way to add/edit/remove options from the quick analysis menu.
Thanks in advance.

Excell 2013 (365) Scroll Wheel Disabled due to Power Query
Opening the Power Query Workbook Queries Pane within Excel results in a loss of scroll wheel functionality. You can temporarily remedy this by clicking out of excel and then back in. However, upon closing and opening the pane within excel the scroll wheel issue will represent itself.
Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Is it a known bug?

Excel Services: No tooltips for data points in Pivot Charts?
I have a PivotChart in Excel and I can hover a mouse over a data point and the tooltip will show the details (values, series, etc...)
However, once the file is uploaded to Excel services there are no tooltips.
Is there anyway to get tooltips to work in Excel Services for SharePoint 2013?
Thanks!

Excel File Lock Shows Wrong User Name in Dialog Box
Hello Technet Forums,
We have been experiencing an issue with file Excel file locking on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server. The issue is not that the file is locked, but that the wrong user name is reported in the dialog box that pops up to tell the user that the file is already in use.
In short, the last person to save the file will be the name displayed in the dialog box. More details below.
Here is a sample scenario:
User 1 opens the Excel file, makes changes, saves and closes the file. (file is closed, there are no file locks reported on the server, User 1 can open, edit, and save the file many times without any issue)
User 2 opens the Excel file
While User 2 still has the file open, User 1 opens the file again
User 1 receive a message saying that the file is locked by "User 1"
Clearly, this is not the case. The file is locked by User 2, and the Windows 2008 server shows that the file is opened by User 2.
If the user name is changed in Excel (File | Options | User name) to "User X", then running through the scenario above, the dialog box will say that the file is locked by "User X".
As soon as User 2 saves the file, the file lock dialog box will be changed to show "User 2" has the file locked.
Is this expected behavior? Is there an update for Excel of Windows 2008 R2 server that will show the actual user name of the person that has file locked?

Excel 2016 - Com Add-In: Inquire - Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-In.
The COM Add-In appears under the Inactive Application Add-ins section, when attempting to use the Manage COM Add-ins feature to enable I continue to receive the error "A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-In.". Everything on the internet refers to Office 2013 still being able to utilize this add-in, while Microsoft themselves state 2016 in some of their literature the majority of their information refers back to 2013. I do have Office Professional Plus 2016 installed as well.
What you can do with Spreadsheet Inquire in Excel 2016 for Windows
If Microsoft Office 365 orOffice Professional Plus 2013 is installed on your computer, the Spreadsheet Inquire add-in is available in Excel.

At this point I've reviewed all registry information, attempted to transfer usable 2013 files as well as consulted other forums where users have experienced the same issue. Any resolution would be greatly appreciated.

When selecting one cell, multiple cells highlight
When I am working with Excel 2010, I try to select a single cell however multiple cells get highlighted. It will highlight usually the next 5-6 cells in the same row. It occurs randomly on random cells, but happens about 25% of the time. If I click the
cell and it does its highlighting thing, I usually have to click away in another cell and then re-click the first one to get it to go away. Also, if I just try to ignore the highlighted cells and try to work as normal, when I try to tab to the next cell in
the row, it will only let me tab between the cells in the column that are highlighted. It is not a mouse problem, I am not accidentally selecting multiple cells, and it happens on documents I created as well as documents others have created. It will also happens
on a new, blank document or others completely stripped of any kind of potentially hidden formatting. I have not tried to re-install Office yet, but that will be next step if no one has a solution. Thanks

Problem with linking a Worksheet name to name of a chart series
Let's say that you define a Worksheet name like this:
If you now insert a chart and try to set a name for the chart series to this name, you will get a name error:
However, if you now set the name like this:
You can now connect it to the chart series name:
What is more, you can now set the name to the value I mentioned first, and this does not produce a name error:
From my tests you cannot directly connect a Worksheet name that contains a function or UDF that returns a string, directly to the series name. You can first set the name to a numeric value, connect it to the series name and the change it to a function / UDF that returns a string and it works.
If you now copy this Worksheet, you will again get a name error.

SQL Connection Properties, Character Limit
Hi there, I frequently use an Excel workbook, connected to a SQL server table and input my SQL via Connections > Definition > Command Text.
Can anyone confirm the character limit for this freehand SQL (I have a very long SQL script written in SSMS that when pasted, doesn't appear in full in this Command Text window.
Also, any suggestions/recommendations for getting around this with long scripts? Note, creating views etc in SSMS is not possible.

External Data Connections - Strain on System?
When creating an external data connection in excel to a SQL Server database, is this connection left open after the initial query and while the workbook is open? Or does the connection get opened and closed each time the query is run?
If it is left open, would this open connection impact bandwidth or strain a server? What if there were 100 open data connections from open worksheets, on multiple servers, accessing one SQL database on another server?
Thank you all for review.

Editing Cell in Pivot Table
I would like to be able to edit the data in my spreadsheet directly from a PivotTable.
I exported all the data in my database onto an excel spreadsheet. Next, I added 3 columns into this spreadsheet to use for notating changes I would like to make to my database.
Now, when I convert this whole spreadsheet into a PivotTable and I edit any of the cells while I'm in the Table, for some reason 1: it automatically enters the same information into the entire column and 2: it does not update the spreadsheet that the PivotTable is pulling from!
What am I doing wrong!?
Note: this issue only occurs when entering notes into the columns I added for notating(mentioned above). when i enter or change info in one of the cells that were part of the export from my database, it works fine.

Date picker issues in 2010
I inserted the date picker drop-down in a form that was created to track leave requests. When I sent the form to other users, they could not select the dates as the field was saved as a picture.
I decided to re-create the function and after inserting the drop down again and exiting design mode, I couldn't select the option either.
Is there anyway to correct this that doesn't require programming?

Data Source path in Pivot Table changes to absolute on its own
Hello.
I have a .XLSX file, that was created long time ago (I don't even know in which Office version, but definitely not 2013), and maybe even was a .XLS file at first.
So it's a 4 MB file with 16 Sheets and 8 Pivot Tables.
All of the Pivot Tables use other sheets from the same file as Data Source.
Data Source for some of them look like this: 'Sheet3'!$A:$E
Everything is fine when I save the file, and open it from saved file.
But as soon as I try to move the file elsewhere, or rename it, or email it - all Data Source paths change to something like this: '\Users\Sergii_Litnevskyi\Desktop\New folder\[FileName.xlsx]Sheet3'!$A:$E
And it happens with all Pivot Tables. The problem is that it links to an old file path, where the file does not exist anymore. And it links to an external file, which is not what I want.
If I Save As and select different path and filename - then it works fine. So it's a workaround for renaming and moving files, but not for sending them to other persons.
I've read some threads, and people recommend disabling "Save external link values", but it does not help. It is already turned off in my office, but it keeps acting weird.
So what I need is: Save the file, close it, rename it, move it to other place, send it over email as attachment. And then I want to have the same Data Source path in my PivotTables as I had before I saved the file. How can I do it?

Windows rights Management in Excel - error message "cannot generate sspi context"
Since a couple of days I cannot access any more one of my Excel file. Using the Microsoft Information Rights Management (IRM) available in Excel I restricted the access to this file, so it became encrypted and only accessible with a password. I
worked perfectly for years.
Now when I try to open the file, Excel tries to make the connection to the IRM but fails. It gives the following error message:
Server Error in '/Certification' Application
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot generate SSPI context
I cannot open the file anymore.
I am using Microsoft Office 2013 on Windows 8.1 and Office 2007 on Windows 7.
Any help?

Cannot open IPM.Note.Microsoft.Conversation.Region
Hi
it has been a while since I installed a beta version of Office 2013. Eventually removed it again and went back to O2010. Over the years then upgraded to O2013 on to O2016. Same with the underlying OS, currently on Win 10
This beta version introduced a bug of some sort that keeps me haunting ever since. In Excel (heavy user), Word, PowerPoint, Outlook. Numerous installs did not fix the issue. It is always about some menu definition, missing addin. I have turned the whole disk upside down to figure out where Office stores its menue definitions so to eventually find and remove this/these trashed enty/ies.
Right now I can only repro the issue in Outlook, when I click "New Element". However there are open bugs elsewhere in Office that I would like to get rid - finally. And I guess we agree the question why setup does only half the job is fruitless.
Thank you for any hints
Hubert

When using "Block all unmanaged add-ins", how do we allow a XLAM that doesn't have a ProgID to add to List of managed add-ins
In Office 2013 (including Excel), we're setting the Block all unmanaged add-ins group policy, and then adding all the ProgIDs for each add-in we want to allow.
We're following the steps outlined here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/2733070
The registry key is do the restriction if you aren't using policy is:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\excel\Resiliency
DWORD: RestrictToList
Value: 1
(and as an example of adding something to the policy showing up in the registry):
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\excel\addinlist
REG_SZ: NativeShim.InquireConnector.1
Value: 1
This solution is working for all of our add-ins except for one. The vendor is saying that they don't use ProgIDs because the add-in is XLAM and XLL.
I've tried adding the file name, full path, adding it to trusted locations, and nothing will load this add-in. Switching RestrictToList to 0 immediately allows it to load.
I've placed a support call with the vendor, but I thought I'd post here in case someone else has seen this before.
