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

$
0
0

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?

Greetings,

   Having just installed Office 2016, I now have this very annoying feature with Excel 2016 that whenever I click and xl spreadsheet file it starts excel but the internal window is blank. 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?

Thanks

How to generate a list of dates based on variable user input

$

0

I will try to be specific without being wordy -

I am a college professor and am creating my own Excel application for a grade book. 

Part of what I need to track is attendance however class dates are sporadic.  For instance this quarter I have 3 classes that meet onMonday, Tuesday and Thursday of each week except for the holidays (July 4 & Labor day).  I know the start dates and end dates of the term.  I also will know which days the class will meet.  However I want Excel to generate a list of dates as titles to columns on a different tab based on these start and end dates and for only specific days of the week during the terms - and of course excluding the holidays. 

I have been attempting to use this using the functions of either workday or workday.intl but don't know how to setup the user input to utilize either of these functions.  For instance I would like to select the days of the week that will be normal attendance and then allow Excel to generate the list on a different tab within the workbook.

Each quarter the days of the week will change depending on the class so I need to be able to enter the requirements through a variable user input each quarter.

Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

Excel 2016 (Office 365) - Power Pivot not available

$

Hi everyone,

I recently installed the newest Office 2016 suite (Office 365 subscription) and noticed that I cannot use the Power Pivot/Data Model tools. Power Query is available (however some options, as for example connection to Hadoop, Azure or SharePoint List are not available) and when creating a new pivot table a data model can be chosen as source but I have no option to edit the data model, edit the references between tables, and all the other things that could be done with Power Pivot in Excel 2013 or that other people can do in Excel 2016 as I saw in some tutorials on the internet. I noticed that I'm missing the option "Manage Data Model" in the Excel Data Tab, in the category "Data Tools".

Has anyone an idea what the issue is or had the same problem?

Thanks in advance!

Excel Date Format Issues

$

I am having trouble trying to copy a column of dates in general format into a different spreadsheet with mm/dd/yy format.

When I copy cell from the original sheet in general format, i.e. 81816, into the other sheet and apply the date format excel changes it to 1/1/2124. Which is so wrong.

When I change the date format on the original sheet to the short date format it gives me the same 1/1/2124 date.

I've tried making a custom date format on both the original sheet and the copied sheet and I can't get it to convert the 81816 into 8/18/16.

I've resorted to changing 100+ lines manually and there has to be a better solution.

Hi,

Our users are using Excel 2013, on Windows 7 and IE11. We are unable to open the spreadsheet file generated from zipped report. The error:

Excel cannot open the file "....xls" because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension mahces the format of the file.

We cannot open or save the unzipped spreadsheet file.

The file is not corrupted (has tried repairing).

Please shed some lights on how to go about resolution this ...?

thank you

Auto Correct Options - settings changed

$

0

I'm using Microsoft Office 365 Pro Plus - provided by my company.
I often use Excel to dump sample data from database and other sources, for general inspection and ad-hoc analysis.

Today I couldn't match up some values, and tracked the cause back to my 'AutoCorrect' options.
The value 'STPO' as output from my database,  was being changed to 'STOP'.


Now I have NEVER, but NEVER even gone near my auto correct options before.
And in all my years of using Excel, have never come across this behavior before.
(in fact I have done this very same data dump several times over the last couple of years, and never had this problem before).


Has some thing changed in a Microsoft update ?
I'd really like to get to the bottom of why my excel has suddenly started to employ this feature as default.
Yes, so I know how to turn the feature off, but I'm seriously concerned that it has become enabled without my explicit permission.

If for no other reason, than there could be dozens of colleagues out there who are still assuming that the data in their workbooks is the exact data that they have imported - unaware that Microsoft has decided to modify random values.

Any insight greatly appreciated :)

Excel 2013 update 15.0.4841.1001 has broken the VBA Worksheets("Sheet2").Select Replace:=False

This recent update to Excel 2013 has broken the 'Replace' parameter of the Select Method as demonstrated below:

This has worked since God was boy right up to a couple of weeks again when this update was released, and still works OK in Excel 2016.

            Application.Worksheets("Sheet1").Select
            Application.Worksheets("Sheet2").Select Replace:=False

Workaround and a fix please Microsoft?

Thanks in advance

Hi 

I tried the conditional formatting but i think this may be for when you just need to flash up 30 days before its due to expire, i run courses and the candidate need to be made aware around 3/4 months before the cards are due to expire. please advise how i would do this and the most simple way as i am not very computer literate.

Many Thanks

Get & Transform - initialization of datasource failed

Hello,

when I use Get & Transform in Excel 2016 Standard SPLA, I´m able to create query, see the preview, but when I'm finishing the process and would like to get the data to cells, Excel show me error message "initialization of data source failed, ..." - I've tried more sources from limited commands in Get & Transform in Standard suite including simple link to Excel file in same folder... everything ends with error... in cells is shown only few rows (<10)

When I do all this in Excel 2016 Professional Plus, everything is OK, no errors, result 250000 rows inserted in cells rather quickly...

I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2 std 64b CZE, normal file system...

Is Get & Transform generally usable in Standard version? What are conditions for use and what can be cause of initialization error?

Thank for help

Hi,

I would like to use the Extra color scheme, and the Custom colors in Excel application like in PowerPoint... XML theme definition does not report any errors in Excel, but Custom colors are not displayed in color lists and added Extra color scheme is not displayed as a “Color scheme in this workbook” for selection on Page Layout / Color

I’m using these tags in theme:

  <a:extraClrSchemeLst>

    <a:extraClrScheme>

      <a:clrScheme name="Kolar Colors">

         ...

      </a:clrScheme>

    </a:extraClrScheme>

  </a:extraClrSchemeLst>

 

  <a:custClrLst>

    <a:custClr name="Kolar Red">

      <a:srgbClr val="F71414"/>

    </a:custClr>

     ...

  </a:custClrLst>

What can be wrong? How to define Extra color schemes and Custom colors in Excel?

FILE BLOCK

We are using excel 2016 or excel 2010 to convert XLS file to XLSX file.

We've found that the error "Microsoft Office file type blocked by File Block settings in the trust center" pops up suddenly.

However, we faced below problems.

1. The checkboxes of "File Block Settings" are disabled. We cannot modify the values to open XLS file and convert to XLSX.

2. We have tried to modify the registry HKCU\Software\Policies\16.0\excel\fileblock and updated their values to DWORD  = 0,e.g. xl2macros.

However, we have found that the values will be revoked suddenly during certain of time.

Can you please kindly advise ? Is there any security patch installed ? How can we disable file block settings in excel 2016 ?

I am trying to combine 2 if(or) functions but can't seem to figure it out.

I currently have them on 2 different columns but need to combine the formulas to one column so I can then use an autofilter in a macro to filter out all true results.

Here are the 2 formulas:
#1 =IF(OR(J7<NOW()+13,E7="PENDDECL",E7="NOIA",E7="PENDCI",K7="",R7=""),AND(W7="Purchase"))

#2 =IF(OR(L7>45,E7="PENDDECL",E7="NOIA",E7="PENDCI",K7="",R7=""),AND(W7="Refinance"))

any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

Your assistance will be appreciated very much.
