I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. I recently downloaded and installed Excel Power View add-in. I have also enabled it. However, when I go to <Insert> menu, I do not see Power View in the ribbon. 

Any ideas what I am missing?

Thanks.

Need Help with Excel on iOS

$

I run MS Office Pro 2016 on my home desktop system.  I sometimes find a need to use one of the apps on my iPhone 6.  I have downloaded and installed Excel on the device but I'm having great difficulty using it.  Currently, my biggest problem is getting the ribbon to show correctly.  I can get it to show but I cannot get the various option tabs to appear.  The following are all that the ribbon shows me:  The back button (arrow pointing left in a circle); File options (Page with dots icon); previous or undo icon (can't tell which it is); the Edit icon (flag and pencil icon); expand and contract icon (arrows pointing to top right and bottom left); search icon (magnifying glass); and the share icon (circle and half circle to indicate head on shoulders and + sign).  Try as I might, I cannot get the INSERT and other buttons that I know should be there to appear.

Anyone?

Ctrl + Shift + Arrow Keys Behavior in Excel 2016

$
0
0

I use Ctrl + Arrow and Ctrl + Shift + Arrow often to navigate around a worksheet and to copy ranges of data. Typically if I hold down the Arrow Key after it finds the next blank in a range it will keep going until I stop pressing the key. However, with Excel 2016 that does not happen. I have to release the arrow key and press it again after each blank. This can be very irritating if I'm trying to get to the bottom of a column of data and there are several hundred blanks in the range. What do I do to fix that?

Excel 2016 PowerPivot

$

I'm running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.  In Excel, whenever I try clicking on the "Manage" button in the PowerPivot tab, I get the following errors:

  1. "We couldn't load the Data Model.  This may be because the Data Model in this workbook is damaged."
  2. "PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model."

When I try clicking on the PowerPivot Settings, I get the following error:

  1. "We couldn't load the PowerPivot add-in.  First try Office Repair to fix this issue.  The error below should help if that doesn't work.  Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I have tried the following to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. Reboot the computer
  2. Repair Microsoft Office
  3. Uninstall and Reinstall Office
  4. I followed the steps in this link (including installing the hotfix):   http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2013/08/27/powerpivot-for-excel-2013-error-when-opening-the-manage-window-quot-we-couldn-t-load-the-data-model-this-may-be-because-the-data-model-in-this-workgroup-is-damaged-quot.aspx
  5. I get the same error even if I open Excel on a fresh reboot and open a new blank workbook.

Any help would be appreciated.

Memory leaks in Excel 2013 for dynamic charts

$

If create several charts (Stock-'Open-High-Low-Close'), which is dynamically updated (for me it is RTD, about 1-20 updates per second, every bar can be updated separately), you will see increasing of the memory consumption by Excel up to error message 'There isn't enough memory to complete this action...'. If I delete charts, so only data in the cells will be updated, memory consumption will not increase. How it can be fixed?

Hi,

I have searched nearly anywhere for a solution to this Excel application problem (hope you can help).

I have an Excel based matrix of 40 x 52 celles. Each Cell is at some point in time set to a calculated number, that MUST NOT be modified, once it has been saved in the cell. The value for a cell is calculated from a keyed-in value.

Here comes the problem:

There are a number of possible calculations. The one calculation to be used at Key-in time is determined by "Current State", which is a state value in a cell in the sheet but outside the matrix. The number in any cell in the matrix is a value calculated by the "current calculation" that was active when its value was entered.

(i.e. I type the value for a cell. It is modified by "currently active calculation"(determined by the state value) and saved in the cell (and must not be recalculated)).

At some point in time the state value changes (determined by external events) and that selects another calculation to be used. The values that I enter, must now be modified by a different calculation (no problem in that), but the ongoing recalculation of the spreadsheet must leave the earlier calculated cells unchanged.

How can I make a calculation take place when a value is keyed in, but protect the cell from modification by recaltulation.

Excel-XML schema Parent/child or List of List issue.

Hello

I have got an xml file which has multiple tags with same names. But when I try to convert it to xml schema, it doesn’t allow multiple elements with same name. There are ways around  for example maxOccur=unbound for element name called “Name”, but that won’t help me as I need to map it to various columns [For Primary name, Previous name and Maiden name] which excel doesn’t allow it.

This is XML file, which will be eventually uploaded on to website and it can’t have different tags [In this case “Name” and it also have “address” and “telephone”]

Here is the XML file -[Has duplicate tag <Name>]

<Names>
                    <Name>
                        <FirstGivenName>Test</FirstGivenName>
                        <OtherGivenNames>vy</OtherGivenNames>
                        <FamilyName>sample</FamilyName>
                        <SingleNameOnly>0</SingleNameOnly>
                        <Type>PRIM</Type>
                    </Name>
                    <Name>
                        <FirstGivenName>Areasbc</FirstGivenName>
                        <OtherGivenNames>vty</OtherGivenNames>
                        <FamilyName>efesssf</FamilyName>
                        <SingleNameOnly>0</SingleNameOnly>
                        <Type>PREVS</Type>
                    </Name>    
                    <Name>
                        <FirstGivenName>set</FirstGivenName>
                        <OtherGivenNames>ppty</OtherGivenNames>
                        <FamilyName>xuuu</FamilyName>

It works if there is, different element names(like Name1,Name 2 etc) but the targeted website doesn’t recognize the name tags

I am not an expert, and did try to look up on google, but couldn’t find any solution. Hoping to have some brilliant minds to crack this code.

 Thanks in adv

I have already used Microsoft Fixit tool to uninstalled and install Ms office but it does work. Also i have used different MAC key and it still does not work.

If any one knows the solution please advice, it will be really appreciate.

How to change external table source for an existing PivotTable?

$
0
0

I have a PivotTable formatted exactly as I'd like, and would now like to copy it and have it pointing to a new PowerPivot table listed in the PivotTable Field List box.  The new table has the exact same fields as the original, only the SQL query criteria has changed.  My frustration is that I'm finding no way to change the data source to the new table.

Any assistance provided here will be most appreciated!

Abnormal Slicer Sorting Behavior

$
0
0

I am working with sets of daily data that will go on for about 10 years, giving almost 4000 Rows

For visualization, the table of data is filtered by a pivotTable and the charts is created from the filtered data, then, to be able to have the charts switch between the months on the fly, the data is filtered using a slicer.

For some reason, whenever the Month of February is added to the list of viewable data. No matter what year the month is in, the month of Febuary is always added after the "Blank" slicer item. Every other month is sorted correctly before the "Blank".

This is creating problems when I go to perform VBA code on the slicer, however the VBA code has no impact on the creation and sorting of the slicerItems list.

Excel change links from absolute to relative path when saving as XLSX after KB2597166

$
0

Hi,

I have a problem with an Excel 2010 file, after installing update KB2597166 :

My file has some reference to other files, located on my network.

Example : My main file master.xlsx is located at \\FileServer\Share_Name1\master.xlsx

In this file, I have reference to others file, say for example : \\FileServer\Share_Name2\child.xlsx

If I save the file (With, or without doing any changes), next time I open my master.xlsx, all references are changed to Share_Name1\child.xlsx instead of staying at \\FileServer\Share_Name2\child.xlsx (Basically, it's changing all absolute path to relative).

If I uninstall KB2597166, the problem doesn't occur.

With KB2597166 installed, this bug is not happening if I'm saving my file as XLS. But saving the same file as XLSX change all path.

Any workaround ? I removed the KB, but it's installed over 100 Computers of my network, and I don't want to uninstall it on all my computers....

When selecting one cell, multiple cells highlight

$
0
0
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

Need to fine tune Excel 2016 semi complex date formula to yield better results

$
0
0

I have a mail merge operation that is working 95%. I have an Excel 2016 doc with 10 rows and 11 columns, and I have the Word 2016 doc that does the mail merge. All fields merge beautifully EXEPT the date field (The 5<sup>th</sup> of 11 fields being merged).  The date column in Excel 2016 has been formatted to display the date as this:martes, 03 de febrero de 2009. (Day/Month/Year)

Problem #1: When only ONE month has elapsed, it should display “1 mes” and NOT “1 meses” in all the Word 2016 documents (11 docs). That’s grammatically incorrect AND I believe the problem may lie in Excel 2016 and the formula that calculates how long a person has been waiting for “x” thing.

=DATEDIF(E3,$H$2,"y")&" años, "&DATEDIF(E3,$H$2,"ym")&" meses, "&DATEDIF(E3,$H$2,"md")&" dias"

Is it possible to insert another parameter in the formula that will determine that if only ONE month has elapsed, if should display “1 mes” instead of “1 meses”? or can an automated macro be added into WORD 2016 that will examine that grammatical expression on each document and change it to ‘1 mes’ automatically or semi automatically? . It would be great to solve the problem at the Excel 2016 level....

Same thing for the ‘1 año’ Vs ‘1 años’.

TEXT IN THE WORD 2016 DOCUMENT:

"En virtud, de lo anterior expuesto, observa esta Defensa que mi RepresentadoFirstN 2ndName1stLastName 2ndLastname, tiene  desde el día -37805- hasta la presente fecha, 13 años, 1 meses, 4 dias sin que ese Juzgado haya realizado Juicio Oral y Público"

Problem #2: The date in the merged word doc is being brought in as 37805. I don’t have an idea what that number means!!.  It should be a date like DD/MM/YY, yes, DD/MM/YY (Spanish) as it appears in Excel 2016. How can I bring in the correct date?

Your input will be highly appreciated

XML File Help / Denomalized Data

Hi,

Some software I work with allows me to import an XML file to create products into a database.  I was given an example XML file and have sucessfully used this and edited it using XML Notepad.  I have two records in the file which I can import into the database without issue.

If I import the XML map into Excel and then try to add further records or edit what is already there and export out the XML it tell me that XML Maps are not exportable and if I do the verify map for export it tells me I get denormalized data.  As I'm new to working with this I wonder if anyone can tell from the XML below what the problem is when trying to use it in Excel?

Thank you.

The following steps cause "We found a problem with one or more formula referencesin this worksheet." error. This was tested in Excel 2013, 64 bit.

  1. Insert an Excel line chart.
  2. Add ErrorBars to one of the series.
  3. Add an Excel name to the Worksheet that references some cells on the worksheet.
  4. Format the ErrorBars and set their value to Custom and use the previously defined name.
  5. Delete the ErrorBars.
  6. Delete the name.

This happens also if you set the ErrorBar values to fixed in step 5 instead of deleting them. Also if you first set the value to fixed, then deleting them. When you delete the name you will still get an error.

It seems like the defined name somehow stays linked with the ErrorBars. If you save the file and reopen it this goes away.  Also after doing this, adding a name with the same name again can cause Excel to crash.

Here is a gif that shows the steps:

COUNTIFS Using Date And Blank Cells As Criteria

I am trying to get this formula to give me a count of all rows that have a value of "1" in column "AO" and column "AH" "<>Pre-Approval" or ""<>DECL" or "<>WITH" and that have column "AV" blank OR the month number equal to this month (I am using the formula =TODAY() in Goals$S$1) even if the data is filtered out. It works fine except for the month number part, i can't seem to figure out how to tell it to count it if column "AV" is blank or equal to this month.

here is the formula I am trying to use:
=COUNTIFS($AO$7:$AO$999,"1",$AH$7:$AH$999,"<>Pre-Approval",$G$7:$G$999,"<>DECL",$G$7:$G$999,"<>WITH",$AV$7:$AV$999,MONTH(Goals!$S$1))
