PowerView in Excel 2016 Not Enabled

I've read through all of the posted queries on this topic and none seem to address the problem.  I've added the Insert PowerView to the ribbon but when clicking on it nothing happens.  Followed previous suggestions to enable by going to File> Options> Advanced> Enable Data Analysis add-ins: Power Pivot, Power View, and Power Map but the "enable Data Analysis add-ins" option does not exist in Excel for me.

Am trying to work through this so I can add an interactive map (with simple city & state data) to a dash board tab in an Excel workbook.  The 3D mapping function is cool but cannot seem to add it to the DashBoard tab in Excel.  Any help is apprecaited.

Excel 2010 changes links from network location to local user appdata on opening a 2003 file

As discussed here but not resolved http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excel/thread/fc470dd1-70df-4bad-98db-3d94a68206c7. On opening a 2003.xls fle that contains linked cells to a network location the link paths are changed to the current local users appdata path. This really is an issue for us, we are a large coporate user with thousands of linked workbooks often with links to several other workbooks, it's not really an acceptable solution to have to manually update the links each time a 2010 users opens an existing 2003 doc.

Can anybody offer a solution?

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

Auto Collapse according to Path\Filename

I have an .xls file which contains the titles from my music library as filenames with path (extracted from windows explorer) ...

I'd like a collapsible table that lists “Artists”, which can then be expanded to show “Albums” and then further expanded to show “Songs” ... 

Raw data looks like this;

Adele\19 (DE)\Best for Last.mp3

Adele\19 (DE)\Chasing Pavements.mp3

Adele\21 (DE)\Turning Tables.mp3

Adele\21 (DE)\Turning Tables (Live Acoustic).mp3

Adele\25\All I Ask.mp3

Adele\25\Can’t Let Go.mp3

Finished product should look like this ... a collapsible list in Excel or word ...

Adele

19 (DE)

Best for Last.mp3

Chasing Pavements.mp3

21 (DE)

Turning Tables.mp3

Turning Tables (Live Acoustic).mp3

25

All I Ask.mp3

Can’t Let Go.mp3

Can anyone tell me how to do that in an automated way so that I can create a catalogue of my music and also help others to create catalogues of their music.

If this can be enhanced to be a pivot table where I can catalogue according to “Genre” or “Year” (I can add that data to the Raw data file in new columns) that would be my next request.

Please and Thanks

Excel 2016 - Cannot open PowerPivot

I have Excel 2016 standalone version with PowerPivot. I only bought it two months ago specifically for the PowerPivot add-in.

Since then, PowerPivot consistently fails to load data models and only occasionally succeeds.  The current data set I am attempting to load is very small and I only created it with the purpose of testing my problem. I have 4 tables in the same Excel workbook (1 fact / 3 dimension) and the fact table has fewer than 1000 rows. The dimension tables are have fewer than 20 rows.

When I press the button for Manage Data Model, I get the following message:

PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model. <OK>

I also get the following message:

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. PowerPivot cannot connect to Excel because Excel is busy. Please try again in a few minutes.

I attempted both Quick and Online Repairs from the Control Panel. I have rebooted. I have uninstalled and and reinstalled. No other applications are open. Nothing seems to work. 

My laptop is fairly up to date - Windows 8.1 on i5 with 12GB RAM and 64 bit OS

Using Excel 2016 MSO (16.0.7127.1025) 64 bit

Any assistance would be appreciated.

VBA Data selection

Hope I can explain this correctly!

I am working with Pivot Tables which help me identify data that is still open and needs further action taken

each string has an ID# in the first row of a table is also identified in the Pivot Table'

to close out the item I set up a formula to retrieve the data and close out the item based on a few factors.

at the moment I need to copy the ID# into the formula, buy either typing or copying and pasting.

the formula location to insert the data is fixed but the cell where the ID# isn't

what's the best way to go at this? it there a formula I can put in the cell that when I dbl click on the source data it occupies the formula or some VBA script you can point me to

Or an other way to look at it: I have a fixed formula that requires input, I would like to be able to select the value from an other cell on the adjacent data list (location not fixed) and have it populate the formula.

Thanks so much for your help

Is there a way for a cell to get the data string from the address bar?

Ie: lets say I click on cell c5=25

or cello c45= 6

both items appear in the active address bar at the top of the page, I would also like it to appear in a separate Cell

lets say z3 (FIXED) so z3 would always show the value of the active cell I'm in

i have a master sheet of names and columns. each row is identified by a value in column "c" eg. john doe in row2 has a value of 4 in column c.

I want to create sub sheets from the master list and populate the sheets by row for whatever value is in column "c".

there are only 8 values in column "C" so there would be 8 sheet tabs populated with the corresponding matchin filtered rows.

Excel 2016 Pivot Tables Slicer issues

September 18, 2016, 9:50 am

I have a dataset with 250 rows and approximately 200 columns.  I am constructing a Pivot Table using Slicers for filtering, eventually controlling the Slicers with VBA.  I've made progress and have been able to change Slicer items on and off with code. I have 7 Slicers and there appears to be an interaction that I don't understand.  The coding on the Slicer buttons is either a strong blue (selected), a light blue with unknown representation, no blue with only button areas highlighted.  It appears that selecting the highest level Slicer (the number 1 cache changes button representations on lower level Slicers.  My original thought is that making a selection of the top level provides indicators in the lower level as to what records in that Slicer may exist.  I've tried to find documentation on this behavior but have been unsuccessful.

Is it possible to select "All" using VBA and Slicers?  "Blanks" are one of the items but not "All" as in normal PT filters. I believe this might have been a solution for this issue.  I've also seen reference to bugs in Slicer.  Where might I find these type of issues?

Thanks in advance,

J. Austin

Fixing a Values Error when trying to isolate a number in a basic math problem

September 18, 2016, 11:14 pm

I have a math problem generator that pumps out problems.  For example:

=RANDBETWEEN($E$4,$E$3)&" x "&RANDBETWEEN($E$6,$E$5)

It also isolates the problem into left and right numbers so that I can calculate the answer.  For example:

=LEFT(C11,(LEN(C11)-FIND("x",C11)))*RIGHT(C11,(LEN(C11)-FIND("x",C11)))

I have evaluated the situation and came to realize that when the first isolated number has one less digit than the second isolated number, the error occurs.  For example

6 x 10 would show an error because 6 has one digit whereas 10 has 2

10 x 6 would not show an error because 10 has more digits than the 6

How can I fix this situation?  I am not familiar with the second formula above because I researched it online.

Values from my user form are not being updated to my data source sheet - ListBox.Clicked event being executed Multiple times

September 18, 2016, 7:22 pm
$

Below, between the equal signs is my code for an update button on my user form

What is happening, at the moment I'm only trying to update 3 fields from my userform to my datasource sheet, is when I click the 'update' button on my user form the only field that gets updated on my datasheet from the value I put into my userform is the first line of code that does the updating, which is 'Worksheets("Sold Items").Cells(currentrow, 2).Value = cboCatg.Text'. In other words, the only field that gets update is which ever one I put first in the line of code.

The other fields after this do not get updated.

When i run the debugger, even though I set Application.EnableEvents = False, the lbSoldItemsList_Click() event still gets executed. It's within this event where the values from the ListBox overwrite the value I put into my userform. 

How can I stop the lbSoldItemsList_Click() event from being ran? I thought the Application.EnableEvents = False line of code would stop this from happening.

Is there any other way of updating my datasource sheet with the values from my userform?

The purpose of the listbox clicked event is when the userform opens up. what ever row is selected in the list box, those values will appear in the individuals fields on the user form. I've included a screen shot of the userform.

====================================================

Private Sub cmdUpdate_Click()
    Dim currentrow As Long
    Dim lSelectedIndex As Long
    Dim OrderDate As Date
    Dim Category As String

    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

    'get the current selected index for the listbox
    lSelectedIndex = Me.lbSoldItemsList.ListIndex

    'since ListIndex starts at 0(zero) and the data source sheet has a header row, we have to match up
    '   the current index selected to the correct row in the data source sheet.
    currentrow = Me.lbSoldItemsList.ListIndex + 2

    Application.EnableEvents = False

    'make sure were on the 'Sold Items' Sheet

    Worksheets("Sold Items").Cells(currentrow, 2).Value = cboCatg.Text

    Worksheets("Sold Items").Cells(currentrow, 1).Value = dtOrderDate.Value

    Worksheets("Sold Items").Cells(currentrow, 5).Value = txtCustNameAddr.Value

    'reselect the original index/row in the listbox
    Me.lbSoldItemsList.Selected(lSelectedIndex) = True

ErrorExit:

    Application.EnableEvents = True

    Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:

    Debug.Print Err.Number & vbNewLine & Err.Description
    Resume ErrorExit
End Sub

Errors in excel file and cannot be saved EXCEL 2013

September 19, 2016, 6:16 am

This happens unbelievable frequently now.  File can't  be saved after much work is done.  Even worse, if excel crashed, at least I could recover from the backup.  When this dies it is NEVER able to repair the files.  

Copying and pasting the contents into a new file is not the answer I want to hear either as there is too much data, filtering and formatting that would be replicated. Besides I think that when I copy from the corrupted sheet, the new sheet eventually goes bad too.

Environment  - Both my excel 2013 at work (major bank) and on my home pc 64bit get these errors. I frequently run the OFFcat tool and apply the updates it suggests. 

There are no images or logos involved.   It happens to older files and newly created ones.   I tend to use a lot of pivot tables and excel tables.   It has happened in files as small as ones that have a table, a pivot table and me copying the data into a new tab and very large ones.    Cause and effect are so sketchy as it seems to happen so randomly.  But with that said I think that it has something to do with the fact that as I create additional pivot views into the data,  I tend to copy the entire tab so as to keep the filtering the same.   I also tend to copy the contents of the pivot (not the entire table) into a separate tab so as to have a bit more flexibility in  formatting the data.   I have actually gottnen into the habit of breaking a  process into multiple excel workbooks so that when the file is corrupted I do not lose everything. And saving multiple copies of the file under new names so that I can recover them. Can you help?

Excel 2013 Freezing with filtered columns

December 1, 2015, 3:56 pm

I'm experiencing an error with Excel 2013 freezing, in a couple of different spreadsheets.

Running 32 bit Office on 64 bit Windows 7. 3.4Ghz cpu, 8 GB RAM.

Spreadsheet has top row/rows frozen, and filters applied by selecting a row and clicking the Funnel in the Data tab.

When I filter to a subset of rows on a column, and then scroll the spreadsheet, Excel will freeze. In one spreadsheet it freezes when the selected data reaches the edge of the display window. In the other it freezes when the filter is deselected.

In both cases Excel becomes unresponsive for up to a minute. Task manager shows Excel consuming 13% of cpu. Resource monitor indicates no excess load on any other system resource. All other open applications continue to respond normally. After a varying period of time Excel becomes responsive again, but will freeze if the conditions are repeated.

In one spreadsheet when I unfreeze the top row I cannot repeat the problem. In the other unfreezing the top row makes no difference.

In both cases, if no filters are applied, Excel has never frozen. The sheets did not freeze in Excel 2010. The problem is reproducible on other machines running Excel 2013. Also happens on 32 bit Windows 7.

So - common factors: Excel 2013, filtered columns.

Any insights anyone?

EXCEL 2013 stops scrolling a worksheet after filter selections have been changed

September 19, 2016, 9:32 am

Hi all,

Box: 32Bit EXCEL 2013, 64Bit W10 latest. Heavy EXCEL user.

Sheet: 46.000 lines, 24 columns, 3 of which contain formulae and conditional formatting in all cells of 3 columns. 1 frozen top line and no frozen left columns. 2 MB xlsb-file.

Scenario: Setting filter on for all but the 3 columns with conditional formatting. Select a small subset (~700) of lines from the end of the sheet using 3 filter selections. Works as expected.

Problem: 1) When changing the filter selections to different values or completely switch off all filtering, the sheet is no longer scrollable. 2) The scroll-pointer moves showing the line numbers of the original selection when trying to scroll. 3) When the original filter is setup again, scrolling works fine again for these 700 lines. 4) The bug is persistent even when saving and opening the workbook again. 5) The bug is copied together with the sheet to a fresh workbook. 6) EXCEL is not frozen.

All tricks and toys have no effect.

Any idea what to do? 

Regards Jörg

Formula cell reference acting as if it's absolute when it's not.

November 7, 2012, 8:18 am

This is going to be difficult for me to describe, I will be happy to send the Excel file to someone to look at. 

Sheet 1 contains a ton of information on people that is user-entered and constantly updated and often sorted. (Liaison, District, School, Name, ID, Email, Phone, Semester, Grade, Periods, Start date....)

I want to pull selected information (Liaison, Start date) from sheet 1 onto sheet 2 using three columns (ID, Semester, Grade) that create a unique ID. On the second sheet I also want to include additional user-entered information.

I am using a formula that contains INDEX(MATCH()) to pull information from whatever row it is located at in sheet 1, into the appropriate row in Sheet 2 where the information in the three columns match. 

=INDEX(Sheet1!A$2:R$161,MATCH(Sheet2!D2&Sheet2!E2&Sheet2!F2,Sheet1!F$2:F$161&Sheet1!P$2:P$161&Sheet1!Q$2:Q$161,0),18)

I have set absolute references to the main array where the data is contained (Sheet1!A$2:R$161), and with the unique identifying columns that need to match (Sheet2 Column D= ID = Sheet 1 Column F). I do not set absolute references on the cell for Sheet 2, because I copy/paste the working formula from row 2 down to the 100's of other rows. I want the formula in row 5 to reference row 5, not row 2. So D$2 is not appropriate. 

This formula works completely correct in that it extracts the info from whatever row it is on in Sheet 1 into Sheet 2, based on the information that is in row 2 on Sheet 2. 

Here is the problem. When I sort the entire workbook based on some column (say ID), cell references remain as if they were locked to the row. If I sort by ID and the info that was on row 2 is now on row 4, the cell references in row 2 refer to row 4, not row 2. E.g. the following formula is now in row 2.   =INDEX(Sheet1!A$2:R$161,MATCH(Sheet2!D4&Sheet2!E4&Sheet2!F4,Sheet1!F$2:F$161&Sheet1!P$2:P$161&Sheet1!Q$2:Q$161,0),3)

Why are the cell references Sheet2!D4&Sheet2!E4&Sheet2!F4 changing?

In Excel 2003, I used the Number Format '"Yes";"Yes";"No"' to change the way a True/False value was displayed.  Now that we have converted to 2010, that number format is not working.  I need this to be done in the NUMBER FORMAT, NOT in an additional formula in another cell.
