Is there a way to format numbers in English based on country with the country code? I tried to format a Chinese one(Hong Kong) and the number formatted into Chinese...not what I want, lol. Chinese changed when I went back but it's works this way with Korean too...

Excel 2016 slow to open files on Window 10 machine when you are not an admin
We recently rolled out a small pilot group of Win10/Office 2016 (coming from Win7/Office 2010). Using the new version of Excel on Win10 takes about 10 seconds longer to open files compared to the old version (or the new version on Win7). It seems more evident with .xlsm files. Here is what I tried/ruled out:
Office 16 32 vs. 64 bit behaved the same on Windows 10
Removed any links to files and cleaned up formatting, and name ranges
Copied the file locally to take the network out of the mix
Disabled all add-ins
Installed Office 16 on a Win7 machine and it was faster to open
What I discovered is that if you run Excel 2016 on a Windows 10 machine as an administrator, the file opens as expected. Since none of our users are admins on their machines, this is going to be a huge problem. Has anyone run into this yet?
I should also mention that the Win7 (32-bit) computers are about 3 years old and the Win10 (64-bit) computers are brand new.
Thanks!↧

Excel 2013 checkbox and button labels truncated
Since upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 I find that in Excel 2013 the labels attached to checkboxes and buttons have the last character missing,
for example in Excel's CreatePivotTable window the button labels are "Select a table or rang", "Use an external data sourc", "New workshee" and "Existing workshee". The same problem exists in Word 2013. Can anyone suggest
a fix for this please?

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?

Workaround for Excel 365 limitation
I have developed a series of data models in Excel 2016 Pro, and have an Enterprise E3 account.
My data models are built using .CSV files for data input. - using PowerPivot.
If I put the Excel spreadsheet on SharePoint and share it, using Excel 365 on-line, we get an error message that it does not support text file imports. My users may have many different versions of Excel on their systems, and Excel 2016 data models are not supported by anything under 2013.
The folks who are putting in the files are not tech saavy. So I need this to be as easy as possible - which is why I have eschewed the idea of uploading the text file to a SP List and using an OData connection.
Does anyone know how I can implement this model?

Excel 2013 Pivot table chart - template is "Not Available"
Hello,
I am having trouble using the chart templates that I create in Excel 2013. I have my data in a standard worksheet, then I select the data (rows and columns), go to the INSERT tab to create a pivot table and pivot chart and begin to add the fields to the pivot table and chart. Then, I right-click on the chart, and select “change chart type” and then “templates”, however the template is “not available”. The template is made from similar dataset and even when I try to apply the template to the SAME data that I originally made the template from, it does not allow it. I have tried a couple of suggested work-arounds provided by on site in Newzealand called "auditexcel" (not allowed to post the URL here). But these have not worked and some of the steps they describe are not available. I have found no other offerings to this problem on several Excel posts. My only solution is recreate and customize the chart for each dataset I am working with (scores!) with hundreds of 'clicks' per chart. I hope there is a simple fix that someone can share with me. Thanks for your help.

COUNTIFS() miscounting codes within a time range
I'm setting up a model that allows the user to enter a date and a start time and finish time for a task. I need to identify from that input chargeable rates for the task based on a table which allows one of three rates to be entered against every minute in every day of the week. I should be able to count the codes that fall between the start time and the finish time to give me the number of minutes at rate A, rate B and Rate C. However, the function is returned an incorrect result which is always out by one minute! What am I missing?
COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("'WORKING WEEK (2)'!"&CHOOSE(WEEKDAY($F13,2),"$c$2:$c$1441","$d$2:$d$1441","$e$2:$e$1441","$F$2:$F$1441","$G$2:$G$1441","$H$2:$H$1441","$I$2:$I$1441")),L$1,'WORKING WEEK (2)'!$B$2:$B$1441,">="&$I13,'WORKING WEEK (2)'!$J$2:$J$1441,"<="&$J13)
The INDIRECT() bit is using the given date to choose the correct column (day of week) in the WORKING WEEK (2) table. I have two time columns START and FINISH and my COUNTIFS() function uses one to validate the start time of the identified period and the other to validate the finish time of the identified period - in an attempt to make sure I do correctly pick up every minute within the selected period. But still a one minute error.
Any thoughts anyone?

PowerShell Excel Chart with multiple scales
I have been playing with PowerShell and Excel to create charts of some benchmark data. I am slowly getting there. After a couple days of browsing the web and reading examples, I have put together a script that gets me part of the way to where I want to be. Here is what I have been able to come up with so far.
As you can see, I am trying to show IOPS against latency, but obviously the scales are significantly different. I would like to put a different scale on the right hand side of the chart that better reflects the lower values for latency.
Additionally, I would like to change the IOPS to a bar chart while having the latency chart remain a line marker chart.
Does someone have some sample code showing me the basics of how to get two scales and two styles on the same chart?
Here is the pertinent part of my code that is used for the above chart.
$xlChartType = [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XLChartType]
$ch.chartType=$xlChartType::xlLineMarkers
$ch.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
$ch.SeriesCollection(1).Values = $ws.Range("B18:G18")
$ch.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "IOPs"
$ch.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = $ws.Range("B17:G17")
$trash = $ch.SeriesCollection().NewSeries.Invoke()
$ch.SeriesCollection(2).Values = $ws.Range("B20:G20")
$ch.SeriesCollection(2).Name = "Latency"
$ch.SeriesCollection(2).XValues = $ws.Range("B17:G17")I am not using the MS Chart Controls. This script is going to be run by non-PowerShell users, so I don't want to include instructions on how to install that. (If it did not use .NET 3.5, I might consider it, but I don't want to add that just for a plug-in.)
Thanks for the guidance.

HTML/XML/XLA Files with XLS Extension

I'd like to be able to reply to that thread, but "Reply" just bounces me back to the top of the page, with no indication as to why it's not working.
Anyway, regarding this quote:
We are also investigating a more permanent solution that allows our users to remain secure as well as minimize disruption to existing user experience. We’ll provide updates on this in the coming days. Thank you for your patience.
How do we track progress on the permanent solution? This has disrupted my site's user experience. Generating full-fledged Excel documents takes a lot more coding/resources to accomplish than the lightning-fast HTML as XLS solution. We're in the process of undoing the optimization (we changed from native file generation to the wrapped solution because of performance issues, and now we must change back) so our users can see their generated files without asking them to go through extra steps on their end.

Unique Value list
I am trying to find the best way to do this, hopefully someone on here can help me.
What I have, is a workbook that lists the software on computer 1 on the "Old" sheet, and lists the software on computer 2 on the "New" sheet. What I want is, on the "needed" sheet, to list all the software that is listed on the "Old" sheet, but not the "New" sheet. Is there any way to do this?

"Rows to repeat at top", in Page Setup/Sheet disabled in Excel 2010
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?

PowerView in Excel 2013 without data
If we don't care about data refreshes, is there a way to build a Pivot table and/or Power View report off of Power Powerpivot WITHOUT having the PowerView model available to the users of the reports.
SharePoint is not an option, so we can't use the export to PowerPoint with interactive reports like PowerView can do in SharePoint.
We would like Slicers and Filters to work, but we would prefer to not have them be able to change which fields are included in the reports. Basically, a semi-read-only PivotTable or PowerPivot report.

Importing html data into excel
Hello,
We have an html data file where one of the column data has about 16 digits. While copying this data to excel it was getting truncated after 15 digits (known problem)
So as a workaround we used to open the html file, copy the contents, make the excel as text format and paste with the destination formatting. Sometimes we have a huge html file, so opening and copy dosent work.
We tried importing the html data into excel. Before importing, we have made the excel columns as text, but sill after importing, the 16 digit number gets truncated. How do we import an html file which has about 16 digit number into excel without getting truncated ? Why even after making the format as text in excel, it is getting truncated ?

In Excel 2016, cannot refresh Power Query built in Excel 2013

I have built a few power queries using Excel 2013 (comm add-in), and when I try to open the queries on another computer with Excel 2016 installed the tables will not refresh.
Is there anything that can be done to allow Excel 2016 to refresh data from a query built in Excel 2013 without having to rewrite the query?
Thank you.

Problem with Condition formatting consistency
I'm using conditional formatting to format the first 5 columns of a spreadsheet based on what is in column A.
But for one of the colors, in the upper part of the spreadsheet, only 3 columns are coloring,
and lower in the spreadsheet, only Col A is coloring.
The problem is the same whether I make that rule (The blue one) the first or last rule.
I have removed all shading and other formatting from those rows, and yet the conditional formatting still does not operate on the entire row for the "Blue" filter above. Very odd. (Had images, but it says I can't use them until my account is "Verified" and of course they don't say how you get "verified")

When adding a row in a defined table, my formula does not replicate down to the new row. Why?
I'm using Excel 2016
I have a worksheet where I have a defined table and when a new row is added by tabbing from the last column/row, the formula for one of the columns does not replicate itself down to the new row.
Does anyone know why and how can I fix this?
The formula in the first row of the table is =z3-AA3. This is because it is the first row. The 'Running Profit' column then should be, after the first row in the table, =AB3+Z4-AA4. This is the formula that should be carried down for all new rows added no matter how the row was added.
Does anyone know how I can do this when the user wants to add a new row to the table?
Also, as you can see in the attached image, formulas in other columns display the error notification when new rows are added. Why does it do this and how can I prevent this when a row is added.

Excel 2010 not opening specific file (Windows 10 & 7)
Not sure if I can explain this incredibly well via text but I'll give it my best shot.
I currently am running Microsoft Office 2010 and began having an issue in the last 3 weeks or so. When I attempted to download a microsoft excel file it would open Excel, but it would open in a blank screen with no information on it. I thought maybe something was wrong, so I downloaded the file and attempted to open it that way and same issue. I thought maybe Excel was having issues, so I attempted opening a different Excel file on my computer and the other file opened with no problem at all.
I figured maybe something got corrupted so I uninstalled Microsoft Office, and then reinstalled it. After completing the reinstall it was able to open this file and had no problems at all. Everything was working great.
The next morning I attempted to open this excel file again and it went right back to the same issue. I can open the file on any of the other PCs in my location but this one will not open it. If I repair Windows Office it does not fix the issue, but if I do a complete re-install it will fix the issue for about a day.
I am having this issue regardless of what OS is being used on the PC. I'm not entirely sure what could be causing this problem. Unfortunately, the excel spreadsheet that I'm attempting to open is updated everyday with new information and I need to import this every day, so it is not a file I can just ignore.
Edit: The file type I'm attempting to open is a .xls file.
I was hoping maybe somebody could potentially have some information on this.
Thanks,

File references breake imiedietly when opening source file.
Hi,
I have following problem with file references in excel 2013.
I have two workbooks they have references to each other. So some cells in workbook1 reference cells in workbook2 and some cells in workbook2 reference cells in workbook1.
All works fine until I try to open both workbooks at the same time. In such case all links are lost immediately and cells start to show "ADR" and "ARG" error tags instead of values that there ware just before opening second file.
My files are located on network drive I have mapped. I have noticed that when I open only one of this files reference paths in cells are indicated as global:
='Z:\KM\projekty\KM belki mostowe\wiadukty FR\[Oszacowania projektu zastepczego_belki FR.xlsm]Przekroj faza 2 (2)'!$B$23
But when both files are opened at the same time reference paths are indicated as local, so they only point the other file's name as both are in the same directory.
What should I do to be able to open one or both files at the same time and stop having this lost references issue?
Cris.

Excel - Pivot Table 'save source data with file' option disabled for OLAP. Workarounds?
Question:
The pivot table option ‘Data’ tab has ‘Save source data with file’ checkbox disabled. According to MS Office support article, "Save source data with <g class="gr_ gr_16 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="16" id="16">file</g>" option is not available for OLAP data source in Excel. What is the best way to address this? Any workaround?
Use case: For these pivot reports that will be stored, shared, emailed etc., we want to make sure that the file is always stored without data to ensure security is always driven off of the cube. These reports have financial data and security is a big priority. Appreciate any feedback
