Varying list of input variables and cell references in Solver

July 28, 2016, 1:18 am
$

I'm trying to Solver in Excel.  But I have a list of input variables in which the number of cells is dependent on the number in another cell.

For example, if cell A1 is 4, then the number of input variables will be 4, which could from A2:D2.  This applies to the constraints, which for example I want A2:D2 < 20.

I have tried using named reference, but once I enter the reference, it shows the absolute cell reference (eg. A2:D2) rather than the name.

As a result, whenever I want to run, I need to refresh the input variable and the constraints, which is quite troublesome.

Is it possible to overcome this, without resorting to programming macros?

Thanks.

Dear Experts,

Let me tell you in details.

One of our server's RAID controller got corrupted and we lost all our data. We started recovery on corrupted RAID and data recovered successfully. But some Excel (xlsx) files are corrupted and we are not able to repair those files. I hope somebody can tell me how to repair those recovered files with any tool.

Also some softwares are giving OLE Header Corrupt and OLE Header shortcut corrupt.

Thanks in advance.

Unable to refresh data in Excel 2016 when exporting dynamic worksheet from MS Dynamics CRM 2011

I am aware of the workaround here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2556284 but it's just not feasible to expect our clients to use this every time they open the document.

Does anyone know whether Microsoft are aware of this issue and are working on a fix? The support ticket raised with them did not really shed too much light on the situation and I was directed here.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi All-

Can't figure this one out. I have a sheet with one of the columns represents dates (YYY/MM/DD), in my pivot table I would like to represent my data in a pie chart. The pie chart would show all transactions for the month of Jan, Feb, March, etc....

so my pivot table would be like:

Month         Count
-------        --------
Jan              54
Feb             12
March          44

I can't figure out how to group all days in January into Jan in the above pivot table.

How to proceed?
Thanks

Pivot table - grouping data by date not working ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

So, I am trying to group pivot table data by DISCHARGE DATE, but some patients have not been discharged yet, so how would I fix this?  The source table has some blank cells for things which have not occurred yet.  Is there a placeholder I may use to tell the pivot table to ignore the blank cells?

If not, we do have a field for when the data was first entered.  It is formatted incorrectly and it is not as informative as DISCHARGE DATE, but I guess I could use it if I had to do so.

Suggestions are welcome.

The only way I can open an existing spreadsheet is to do file/open. Excel 2016 is set as the default app for xlsx files. What is going on please?

1. Start new workbook in Excel. (No other apps running)
2. type in a value in a cell. (not needed to reproduce error)
3. Set print area. (not needed to reproduce error)
4. go to "Print Preview Full Screen" e.g. using the icon in the Quick Access Toolbar
5. tick "Show Margins"
6. left click left margin to adjust.
7. Excel crashes.

Seen on :
 - Windows 10 1607 build 143930.0,  Excel version 16.0.7167.2040
 - Windows 10 1511 build 10586.545, Excel version 16.0.7167.2040

Have tried :
 - Numerous spreadsheets
 - uninstalling and reinstalling Office 365 latest version
 - PC rebuild woth latest Windows 10 version
 - Changing default printer

Workaround :
1. CTRL+P to print.
2. scroll to bottom right and click the show margins button
3. margins can be adjusted without crashing Excel.

XLSX or XLSM - which should I use ?

In various web articles/posts, such as these...

http://www.askingbox.com/question/ex...-xlsm-and-xlsb
http://www.bayt.com/en/specialties/q...xlsx-and-xlsm/

...I read that xlsx does not include macros or VBA code, but xlsm does.

But I see macros in BOTH types. They do include macros. I can run them, and I can open the VBA Editor and see all the code.

Here's an example xlsx file:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4019461/ExampleSuppportingMacrosAndVBE.xlsx

And here's a screenshot after downloading that link, openeing it in Excel 365, and usingDeveloper > Macros > View Macros

Excel 2003: Embedded Word Doc shrinks to upper left corner upon exiting

November 28, 2011, 9:08 am

I have an embedded 2003 Word document in a 2003 Excel file. There is some text in this document. Quite frequently, when I double-click the embedded word file within Excel to make a change or add some text and then click outside of the embedded Word doc (in an Excel cell for example), my embedded word doc shrinks into the upper left hand corner of the page. Not sure why this is happening. Sometimes, when I click outside of the word doc, it remains in place, just as I would like it to be. Am I doing something wrong here? Any way to prevent the embedded word doc from shrinking into the upper left hand corner?

Also, when it does shrink up, I cannot seem to enlarge it again, so I always have to exit the Excel file without saving changes and have to restart my computer in order for it to properly work again. Very frustrating and wastes a lot of time.

Any help is appreciated.

I have Microsoft office 2007 and recently upgraded to Windows 10. Some of my office programs (excel and even acrobat reader .pdfs) won't open and I get the following error: "Cannot open file because file format or extension is invalid..." I haven't changed anything except that I upgraded to Windows 10.  Most common in excel and some pdfs.

Thanks.

Excel Connections Error Message

I download a file from Business Objects to a CSV file on my computer.  I have an Excel spreadsheet in which I use the Connections section (Data tab) Refresh function to import this CSV file.  This has worked for months and months.  Now, suddenly, when I click the Refresh button, I receive the following message:

"[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified". 

I opened the Connections' Properties view and browsed to and entered the CSV file in the Connection File name cell.  After pressing OK, I received the following message:

"You cannot choose a connection file that is incompatible with the existing connection."

I did recently receive a new desktop at work.  IT copied my old PC files, etc. to the new PC, and I believe my machine was upgraded from 32 to 64-bit, but that is the only thing that's changed since I last used this Excel spreadsheet. 

Help, please!  Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this to work properly?

Many thanks!

Unable to open Excel .xlsx file from Outlook 2007

A users reports that an email recipient outside of our network, as well as another user within our network, cannot open an .xlsx file attachment she is sending. The sender receives the same error when trying to open the file from her sent email in Outlook 2007. The error being reported is:

"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\PFKE2LL6\<filename> could not be found.

I'm able to open the file fine with no error - both from gmail and Outlook. I've had them clear out their C:\TEMP directory and delete their IE cache. The file does open properly directly from the network with no error for all users.

Thanks

In A1 I have text that consists of words which all are separated by a space (and nothing else).

Some words are in font Arial 9, others in Arial 12 (no other fonts or font sizes).

Form A5 down I need all Ariel 12 words only, and from B5 down I need all Ariel 9 words only.

Your assistance will be appreciated very much.

64-bit Excel 2016 issue (Freezing/slow loading)

August 30, 2016, 12:32 pm

I have a Lenovo desktop with i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz with 12GB RAM. Windows 10 64-bit OS with Microsoft Office Pro 2016 64-bit installed. Even with this configuration, my Excel files (which are anywhere from 100mb - 500mb) are slow to load and freeze when running calculations on data with 70k - 80k rows. I check the Task manager and it's usually the CPU that's running at 100% with 30%-50% Memory used. (I've seen Excel use a maximum of 2.5 GB RAM till now). I have a few questions:

1) When using 64 bit Office, is there a difference in performance when running Excel files generated using 32 bit Office and those generated using 64-bit Office? I'm using files copied over from an old machine which had 64-bit OS but 32-bit Office. If I copy paste all the data from these files into a new workbook and save it on my new machine , will it result in increased speed and performance?

2) The freezing occurs especially when 3-4 files are open concurrently, and when running Sort and Filter commands. Are these tasks known to be CPU/RAM hogging tasks?

3) Does 64-bit Office have bugs/ issues which are not present in the 32-bit Office? Do I require 64-bit Office when working with files that will go upto 500mb?

4) In your experience, is this an issue with CPU or RAM? What will ensure a smoother and faster performance, a better CPU or more RAM? Will getting SSD over HDD result in better performance?

Thank you.
