Hello,
I'm trying to get Power Map to work on excel 2013. Each time I click on the powermap button in the ribbon it crashes excel. I'm running windows 10. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times. I've repaired my version of Microsoft office pro.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi All.
I have had a very strange and frustrating issue when opening xlsb files in Excel 2016.
I updated a huge number of workbooks, moving (cutting & pasting) a number of tables (linked to SharePoint) from one sheet to another.
This worked fine (using Excel 2013) and they have been released and are in use.
Subsequently I have found out that approximately 70% of the workbooks don't open in Excel 2016 - before Excel gets to 1% it states that the workbook is corrupt and cannot be repaired. It then closes Excel, repeats this message the next time I open Excel, then the next time I open it it tries to recover the workbook and then states that it is too corrupt to repair.
Strangely enough, I can still open the "corrupt" file in Excel 2013, and if I save the workbook in any other format (xlsm or xlsx), I CAN then open it in Excel 2016. If I then re-save it as an xlsb file, it becomes corrupt n Excel 2016 again.
After a couple of weeks of investigation, I have now also realised that even moving the sheet that the tables were moved to causes the corruption. If I move the sheet to the left and save the workbook, it becomes corrupt when opening. If I move it to the right, it's fine.
If I open the workbook in 2013, delete the sheets with the tables, delete any connections and any names, when I then open the workbook in 2016 it is still corrupt, unless saved as a different format.
If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, thoughts, it would be extremely appreciated. At the moment my only choice is to revert back to the pre-changed models and keep it all as it was.
Thanks in advance.
Russ.
When we upgrade our users from Windows 7 / Office 2010 to Windows 10 / Office 2016 (new PC's), when they open Excel spreadsheets with pivot tables created in Excel 2010 in 2016 they crash. If we recreate the pivot tables the problem is fixed, however, we have thousands of pivot tables so recreating all of they is now a good solution.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and more importantly have a fix?
I have a condition to copy data from web application to excel. Here the data appears only when we mouse overs on a particular word. The data appears on mouse over resembles to a table. Can someone help me how to do the above task using Excel

Hi, in one the Win10 system facing operating issue in excel 2013(office 365). It is not happening with particular file. Pfa screenshots.
When I had Excel 2013 I was able to use Power Query.
Now I have a new laptop, with Excel 2016 Standard.
When I want to make a new document with the 'Get and Transform' function, I can't.
Also when I try to renew an old document, made with the Power Query 2013, I get the same message.
I don't know how to say it in English, but it says: 'Initialisatie van de gegevensbron mislukt'.
Can you help me?
Greetings,

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?
My Office version: Microsoft Excel 2013 (15.0.4454.1503) MSO (15.0.4517.1005) 32-bit
Hi,
I have a problem using page breaks in my pivot table.
My data: Room - doors - fabrics used - paint used.
Room A
Doors - Door A, Door B, Door C
Paint - one wall in white - two walls in grey
Room B
Doors - Door A, Door B, Door C
Paint - one wall in white - two walls in greyI want each room to start on a new page. So far so good, if the data of each room fits one page, its fine. If my data is too big for one page for each room it goes wrong. If Room A's data fills one and a half page, Room B starts on the other half of the second page instead of a third page.
Any suggestions?

I have to prepare reports about monthly sales for the management and report needs monthly sales calculated among other things for a date range provided. Currently, I'm "=eomonth" 'ing by adding another column to know the end of month date in the sheet where data is entered and then using "Sum(if)" to calculate the sum of sales for a given month as a condition.
This however requires me to keep dragging the formula in the data sheet to not miss any transactions. Can I directly use the "eomonth" within the formula to include the entire column to directly pick those entries that qualify for being included within the date range.
I am used to dealing with tables and queries in Access, so some shift in my knowledge is necessary.
In Access, I'd just do a left join and add the column from the 20 record table to the query and could easily filter on nulls or values.
In Excel, it seems the only way to do this is the "MERGE" generates a 3rd query. This is another 350,000 record database. This 3rd query is correct, but my Excel file effectively doubles in size.
Is there no way to have this matched column added to the first query of 350K records and eliminate the need for the massive data requirements the 3rd query adds?
I could have, of course, done the vlookup in the first table much faster and with much less data overhead, but a VLookup in a 350,000 record database makes filtering unbearable. System totally bogs down.

In the past(v2010 and v2013), we could add records directly to powerpivot models. I know the regular excel sheet has limits but how do you import sheets that are longer than 1 million rows.
When you add data to the data model does it add it at the bottom or where? Can I specify it?
Hi everybody,
I wasn't able to find the answer. I'm sorry, but maybe you can help.
This is what I'm trying to do:
I have a Sharepoint log file, where I tick check boxes and enter data. To make it simple, let's compare it to a market and fruits:
I would have the following values:
ID, automatically generated
Customer, entered manually
Product: Bananas, Apples, Oranges important here is, these are multiple checkboxes because a customer might buy more than one product
Country, where is the customer from, only one value per customer
While I can view this data in the Sharepoint file quite good, once I export it to Excel I struggle.
In Sharepoint I can filter for Bananas, and it will show me all customers who bought a banana independently if they bought something else too.
Once exported to Excel I only get customers that bought only Bananas, the others will be listed as Banana#;Apples or Banana#;Oranges or even Banana#;Apples#;Oranges.
Now I want to make a table with the countries and the Products, but obviously I only want 3 Product columns then instead of all combinations.
It would look something like this:
ID Country Product
1USBanana
2USApple
3UKBanana#;Apple
4UKBanana#;Orange
If I now try to make some nice looking tables to use for visualizing data, I can filter for countries:
US would look like
Banana 1, Apple 1
However, UK would look like
Banana#;Apple 1
Banana#;Orange 1
but I want
Banana 2
Apple 1
Orange 1
I tried to work around that in the logging file, by changing the question "Product" from multiple check boxes into many questions:
"Banana yes/no"
"Apple yes/no"
"Oranges yes/no"
With that I can have a look at the products, to see which countries are most interested in them.
However, if I select more than one product in the labels, it just refines the data by "what ID fulfills Bananas and Apples" or it gives me a TRUE/FALSE table, which isn't really helpfull either.
Any idea guys?
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
My Excel 2016 has problem with loading data by power query with that error: Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again. If you see this message again, create a new data source to connect to the database. Whenever i load any kind of data by power query, i'll got that error.
I've searched inthe internet with that error, almost people interact with SharePoint not like me.
I'm doing with Excel 2016, Office 2016 Pro Plus.
Please help me resolving that because i"m running out of my deadline with unactive Power Query. :( cant do anything.
Hi,
I am using Microsoft 365 (not pro plus or professional). I want to get power pivot. Found an option where I can download the add in, but it was meant for excel 2010. Will it cause problems if I download it into my excel 2016?
