Aligning rows of 2 pivot tables

November 8, 2016, 8:56 am

Hi,

I have created two pivot tables on the same Data Source.

They are both linked via a slicer.

I have also included identical row labels for both the pivot tables.  There are 4 levels of row labels.

I would like to know if there is a way to "link" the exact rows of both the tables.  Meaning, if I expand or contract the row labels in the first pivot, then I would like exactly the same behavior to happen in the second pivot.  Thereby the 2 tables remain aligned at all times with respects to the rows that are displayed.

In the worst case if a macro must be written then I do not mind it, but first preference remains using some inbuilt pivot table or slicer functionality.

Thanks in anticipation of all your suggestions.

I have a ground water data set with multiple concentrations per sampling event, with sampling events occurring off and on, such as:

9/24/2003
3/19/2004
3/31/2004
4/23/2004
3/11/2005
1/30/2006
5/4/2006
9/22/2006
7/29/2008
5/28/2009
8/13/2009
11/24/2009
2/11/2010
6/27/2011
7/24/2012
8/1/2012
1/19/2015
4/20/2015
7/21/2015
10/19/2015

I would like to plot these points as time, rather than just points along the x-axis.  Any ideas?

Download for Power View Add-In For Excel 2016 Obsolete?

I just picked up a new development laptop and have run into something "odd".

I'm trying to find the download for Power View for Excel 2016 and I cannot find it anywhere! And I've literally searched the entire Internet!

I know there's the approach that now the functionality of PV is rolled into Power BI Desktop, but we're not using Power BI, and any visualizations need to be in Excel. I've got a bunch of Excel workbooks I created that have a good number of Power View sheets, and I would like to be able to use Excel going forward for future development.

And if the com add-in is truly no longer available, then how does one incorporate a Power BI visualization into an Excel workbook?

The powers that be here do not want to invest in the whole hosted Power BI paradigm just yet, and we have a slew of people in the field who need to access our data and charts, etc.  - which they can do via VPN into our network.

So long story short: am I out of luck with trying to find the download for Power View for 2016?

I want to be able to more effectively write SQL statements in the initial connection to SQL Server tables. I'm not looking to become an expert or anything, but just want a really good resource (bookpreferred as I hate reading this kind of thing in a browser) that will enable me to more easily do the joins and set criteria before the data even hits the PQ window.

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm trying to save an Excel AddIn on a Onedrive folder (only for developing, user shall not connect to this version).
Each time I save a new version under the same name (Test.xlam) the file date and time changed to the actual time but the file will not be overwritten. The old version is still in place. Instead of this a new file (Test computername (1etc).xlam) will be created.
Is it a known behavior?

Best Regards

I have created a data sheet with date/time of entry comparing date/time of notification occurring. This can sometimes be a negative time value (notification occurs prior to arrival - which is the desired outcome for the team).  I have converted the negative time value using the =if(b2-a2<0,"-"&text(abs(b2-a2),"H:MM"),b2-a2) in my data table.  I want this negative time value to appear on the pivot table and pivot graph.  Please help.

Mac Office 2011 Killing Power Queries

Hi All,

I have built Power Queries between excel files in Office 2013 and refresh them in windows 7 office 2013. I have users who are using a mix of Windows Office and Mac office and I have noticed that when my Mac users open and edit the files they somehow break the power query connection. Is there a way to prevent mac users from destroying the power query connections? Simply editing and saving the file seems to destroy the connection and the queries ability to load to the sheet. I found a similar post from 2014 about Microsoft query but I had hoped Power Query may have fixed this. It seems to be a bug that has not been fixed for quite a while.

Excel sheets on sharepoint

Hellow,

At our company we work with sharepoint and excel. We have 3 "input" excel sheets. This is the place where the colleagues make their input. I'd like to copy the input and merge the 3 excel sheets into 1 single table. Is this possible.

All the sheets should be viewable on sharepoint.

I have made links between other excel sheets, but only with taking the values and making a sum. Now I'd like to copy the input of my colleagues and make a huge list of all the rows.

Kind regards

Excel scenario manager localization issue

Hello,

I was redirected to post here (from https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_excel-mso_winother/excel-scenario-manager-localization-issue/cf5e0f2d-6c2f-4abb-b28a-a22c6ab72054)

I am using Excel and Scenario Manager for sensitivity (What-if analysis).

I am using US regional settings and exchanging the file with partners with German regional settings.

It seems the saved values for the changing cells are kept as string and reconverted to number at execution. E.g. if i put 0.8 it will still appear as 0.8 on the German PC and result in VALUE error (decimal separator is " , "). I tried to put the non-integer values as formula (numbervalue()) but is rejected by the Scenario manager.

Is there a known solution to this issue?

thank you

Personal.xlsb that worked in excel 2013 causes Excel 2016 to not startup

I have a complex personal.xlsb file  (it accesses serial COM ports and has many userforms) that works fine with Excel 32 bit 2007 and 2013 on any computer I have used it.  When I try to use this personal.xlsb file on certain computers running 32 bit  Excel 2016, Excel freezes on startup ,  and shows that it is trying to load the Solver.XLAM and just stays there forever trying to load the add-in.

The personal.xlsb file is located in the 2 standard  XLSTART folders:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\XLSTART

C:\Users\{User Account Name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

I tried going to  Options > Add-ins then un-checking all listed Add-Ins, restart Excel again, but Excel still hangs on startup as long as my personal.xlsb file is in the XLSTART folder.

I also tried a suggestion from another post  from this forum to go to Trust Center > Protected View and un-check the 3 "Enable Protected View" options.  This did no good. Excel still locks up on the startup screen.  Again, none of this happens on Excel 2007 or 2013, just Excel 2016 on certain computers.     Any help appreciated.

Excel makes sound when opening if Office Clipboard disabled

November 9, 2016, 9:31 pm

Hello All,

We completly disabled Office 2013 Clipboard using the below registry which indeed improved about 20% of performance when working with Excel sheet contains macro codes which interacts with Clipboard and also improve overall stability of Excel when performing large amount of data manipulation through Clipboard.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General]
"AcbControl"=dword:80000000

Since we have patched all workstations with October 2016 patches, some computers started make default beep sound when opening Excel 2013.

After investigation, we found that noise is caused when Microsoft Team Foundation Add-In and after disabling it from COM Add-In, the sound is gone.

Image

We also observed, this issue does not happen when enabling Office Clipboard (by removing the above registry key).

On per investigation, the issue seems to occur when calling the MsoCommandBar execution. Below contains the steps to reproduce the issue that one of our developper found as we are facing the above sound issue with one of inhouse built Add-In:

  1. Turn on volume for your computer.

  2. Start Excel.

  3. Press ALT+F11 to open VBA editor.

  4. Go to the Immediate pane/window (if you don’t have it, press CTRL+G)

  5. Paste this line:  print CommandBars.FindControls( ,23).Count

  6. Press Enter.

On my computer, this will raise the “ding” sound.  The ID value (second parameter) doesn’t matter, you can enter any number corresponding to an existing control (e.g. you can try 2, 3, 19, 2188, 5958 or hundreds of others).  The .Count property doesn’t matter either.  Using any properties of the CommandBars.FindControls method will make the noise.

We have other solutions such removing the default sound then that would affect globally any other applications. Of course, we could ask users to mute the sound if this causes distrubances but that is less user convenient solution.

Anyone has any solution knowing that we still want to completly remove Office Clipboard please?

Thanks in advance
