Can't add network directories as Trusted Locations anymore?!

$
0
0

We have a bunch of network shares on which there are lots of Excel files, many of which contain macros necessary for functionality.  By default these locations are not trusted and the macros (and evenediting a file) are blocked.  Fine.  Security reasons, I understand.  However, in previous versions of Office (2007 and back) I was able to add these locations as Trusted Locations.  In 2010, I cannot.  I have the "Allow Trusted Locations on my network" box checked, yet I am still unable to add them.  I continually get a message stating that "That path you have entered cannot be added as a Trusted Location for security reasons.  Choose another location or a specific folder."  I've tried selecting specific folders on the shares but that does not work either.  I've also tried adding the locations in the registry under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Security\Trusted Locations\ but that also does not work.

Any ideas?  I really need to be able to add these shares as Trusted Locations, because there are a lot of files that are used on a daily basis, and users are going to get irritated quickly if they have to click "Enable content" several times just to make a small change in a file...

Register Sequential number

$

Hi People,

I am trying to create a register with a sequential number for correspondence, using a code. I am not sure how to do this, as there are three different types of correspondences and the sequential number should reflect this in the numbering of the correspondence. My code looks like this;

=COUNTIFS(A4:A6;"=NCR")+COUNTIFS(A4:A6="TQ")+COUNTIFS(A4:A6;"=DR")

The code is entered in cell B7 and counts all non-empty cells in cells A4 through A6, regardless of the value in these cells.

I hope that anyone can help me make a code that Counts NCR, TQ and DR entries individually and is easy to implement over 200 rows. Thank you super very much in advance! :-)

Best regards,

Peter from Norway

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?

Quick Analysis - clicking on TOTALS crashes Excel 2013

Whenever I click on the TOTALS heading in Quick Analysis (after selecting a small range of cells all of which contain numbers) in Excel 2013, the application crashes.  I have already tried safe mode, disabling COM add-ins, testing this in a new document, Office Quick Repair, Office Full Repair and restarting the machine.  I consistently get this behavior.  What else can I look at?

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

$

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

Hi,

I tried to register Excel 2016 so that I can configure its Security Properties in DCOMCNFG, but it doesn't appear in the list. 

Here are my steps:

1. Go to cmd and open as administrator

2. Access C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16 from command line

3. Type excel.exe -regserver 

Excel application opened and I tried to check DCOMCNFG but cannot find Microsoft Excel. 

I am using Windows 2016 RTM OS. 

I tried the Microsoft Office 2016 Standard version but I had no issues when I registered it. It appears on the DCOMCNFG list.

Hoping for your help on this! :)

Thanks!

problems opening excel and accessing personal.xlsb file

$

0
Opening an excel file no longer loads the personal.xlsb file or I receive a message saying it is already open, despite no other excel programs/files being open.  If  I open excel directly from the application, personal.xlsb loads fine and I can then open my excel file in that opened instance of excel and access the personal file.  It is cumbersome to not be able to directly open an excel file and begin working.  If the excel program is opened first (directly from the application/shortcut), then I double-click on an excel file, it opens as a separate instance of excel - not in the already opened window.  It seems as though opening directly from a file does not open in a "current" instance, regardless of whether any other excel programs/files are open.  The toolbars are also often frozen when I open directly from an excel file.  I can type in cells, but cannot navigate between the toolbars, save, etc.  However, if I switch to a different window, program or even resize the excel window with the frozen toolbar, the toolbars activate.  Thanks for any guidance.

Excel spreadsheet saved multiple times but unable to find most recent version

$

A user worked on a spreadsheet and saved it multiple times earlier in the week. When they went to open it the other day all the work they had done was no longer in the spreadsheet and the date modified was from April. Which was a previous version of the spreadsheet.

The user said they opened the file from the same local folder and saved it there as well with the same filename.

So I checked previous versions, checked recent files in Excel but the only ones listed were from April, tried recovering unsaved workbooks in Excel but the "Unsaved Files" folder in AppData was empty. I checked the Temp files folder but the only .tmp files I could find from Monday 8/8 (the day she worked on and saved the file) were 0kb. Also checked the recycle bin and did a search on her computer for any files with the same name.

What else can I try in order to restore the version of the file that has gone missing?

Creating time sliced Pivot data in Excel based on two time fields.

$
0

Hi all,

I manipulate some large data sets that show on each row, user session data about a connection to a server resource. This connection has a start time and an end time, which are in two separate fields (columns). I create multiple pivot tables based on these data sets, but I need to understand what is happening at a single point in time (for this example, let’s say 12:00:00). As such, I extract data from an underlying SQL database showing all user sessions that match both a Start Time less than 12:00:00, and an End Time of greater the 12:00:00, or

Start Time < 12:00:00 > End Time

This then gives me all the active user sessions on a system at a single point in time, for which I can then slice and dice using a Pivot Table.

Ideally, I would like to bring in a larger data set, and show multiple points in time, but I seem to be struggling for two reasons:

  1.      Firstly, the filters in Excel only seem to go to the nearest minute – you can set seconds, but Excel seems to round.
  2.      Secondly, I can’t seem to create a time slice based on two fields, which of course would be required, otherwise you see data from user’s session that have either expired, or have possibly not even started and the time point you are interested in.

Example data Set

User Session

Start Time

End Time

Server

A

11:30:30

11:59:20

10.1.1.1

B

11:30:45

12:10:45

10.1.1.1

C

11:59:00

12:14:00

10.1.1.1

D

11:56:00

12:20:00

10.2.2.2

E

12:01:00

12:20:00

10.2.2.2

So, at 12:00:00 we can see only 3 user sessions are in progress; 2 on 10.1.1.1, and 1 on 10.2.2.2

However, 45 seconds earlier at 11:59:15, we would have seen an additional connection to 10.1.1.1

If I extracted data from this table using the original rule (Start Time < 12:00:00 > End Time), I would end up with a subset containing just User Sessions B, C and D, which is fine for one time point, but not multiple time points.

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.
