setup:

=========

32 bit version of WordPad is started under Windows 2008 Server 64 bit version and an Excel file is inserted as OLE ( "Insert->Object...->Create from file" ). The Excel file contains several "shape drawings" lines.

the problem:

=========

"shape drawings" which are made in Excel file, are not visible when the Excel file is inserted as OLE in WordPad. When the OLE is opened for editing via WordPad, the “lines” are visible again.

Originally the problem was discovered in another sw, but latter on it was narrowed to Excel OLE server and successfully reproduced with WordPad.

Please advice how to find where from it comes the problem, and is there some possibility to fix it or it a sw bug?

Thank you in advance!

setup:
=========
32 bit version of WordPad is started under Windows 2008 Server 64 bit version and an Excel file is inserted as OLE ( "Insert->Object...->Create from file" ). The Excel file contains some numbers in the first 20 columns and first 50 lines. The column width and row height are not changed and they are with default Excel size as they are set by new “Blank Workbook” creation.

the problem:
=========
It is visible only part of the Excel file content, independent from where and what I change.
How to scale the Excel file content and to size it properly in order to be visible the whole content in WordPad, independent how small the letters will be? The WordPad page is formatted for A4.

Originally the problem were discovered in another sw, but latter on it were narrowed to Excel OLE server and reproduced successfully with WordPad.

Please advice whether it is possible that or it is a sw bug!

Stop pivot table slicers being deleted in Excel 2013

I have created a selection of pivot tables in Excel 2013, with pivot charts and slicers pasted onto a separate sheet.  The sheet is being used as a dashboard with the charts and the sheet "locked" and protected.

However, here is my problem...

To maintain the functionality of the slicers I have "unlocked" them allowing selection of the slicers filters (Month & Year) however the slicers can still be accidentally or deliberately deleted.

Does anyone know of a way of stopping the slicers from being deleted without loosing the functionality of the slicer itself?


@MicrosoftHelps on Twitter gave the following solution http://spr.ly/6016XMsw but didn't offer any solution.  By selecting "Edit Object" it now allows the charts to be selected and deleted too!

I have a pivot table that is linked to a table in Access table. For some reason the some of the data does not show up in the pivot table but I can see it in the Access table. Further more when I double click on the blank areas of the pivot table where I would expect to see values, a sheet pops up as normal but showing the detail of the value that I would expect to see in the pivot table. ??? Basically the value does not show up on the pivot table (instead it is blank) but when I double click on it it shows the detail. The total on the pivot table does nor recognize the values as well.

THanks For your help

So I am dealing with a very frustrating issue and need help.  I am working with about 50 linked worksheets.  When the links are described as pointing to a network drive with a V:\ designation they don't work any more and won't let me change the source.  When the point to the same drive but under the unc mode (\\xxxxxxx) it will work. If I had a chance to change several hundred links, I would be happy to do that but it won't let me.  What's the deal?  How do I fix it?

I’m using basic authentication (over a non-SSL connection) to open files in Excel2010. However my password has been changed on the host, and excel keeps using my old password (I’ve checked the box to remember user name/password in the connect popup).

When opening files In the old office package, a popup window was displayed to change user name and Password when I changed the password in the past. This still happens in my browsers.

How can I clear User name and password for Excel2010, or force the 'remember my password' off ??

Excel links to PDF files are not working.

I am using Excel 2013 and I have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed.

I right click on a cell and click "Hyperlink".

I make a link to a mapped network drive M:\Folder\Filename.pdf 

Whenever I click the link in Excel I get the message, "Cannot open the specified file"

If I put the exact same link into my explorer window it brings the PDF document right up with no problems.

When I click on "Edit Hyperlink",  It does change my link from the mapped drive to \\servername\Folder\Filename.pdf

but even if I copy the \\servername\Folder\Filename.pdf into my explorer window it still brings the PDF document up fine.

It is only when I click the link in Excel that I have a problem.

-Thanks for you help!

Fuzzy Combo Box - FixIT doesn't work?

Hi

Simple problem.  I have a ComboBox on my sheet. Works fine, except that it's "Fuzzy" if the zoom level is less than 100%.

The problem - and the supposed solution - is described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2589402

I duly downloaded the "FixIt" patch ... no change.

Logged off, repeated with an Admin account, no improvement. Rebooted, no improvement.

So the "FixIT" doesn't seem to work...?

Anybody got any suggestions?

A client has Office Pro 2007 installed.  They recently ran Windows Update, installed Avast

and Malwarebytes, and generally brought their systems up to par.  Now Excel (and only

Excel) gives "stdole32.tlb" error on start and attempts to re-run Setup every time.

I searched the web and Technet, trying everything I could find.  Tried each solution as

the user, local Admin, and domain Admin.  All to no avail.  This includes registry tweaks,

reinstalling Excel, running CCleaner, and many other avenues.

Happy to try any suggestions.  Help!  And thank you!

Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 (upadated 01/10/2013 8:54 am)

Office professional 2010 version 14.0.6129.5000 (32 bit)

I have been using a DDE datafeed and Excel for connections to TDAmeritrade for stocks for several years.  After the latest Windows auto update my DDE excel formulas do not work.  I get the following messages when I open an established workbook and also when creating new formulas.

“Remote Data not accessible…..Start application ‘TOS.EXE’?

“Cannot run ‘TOS.EXE’. The program or one of its components is damaged or missing.”

I am also emailing this to TDAmertrade.  I have spoke with one of their techs and they said to contact microsoft. 

Also, DDE is the only way I can connect.

Anyone else having DDE problems?

Thanks in advance

Using Excel 2010.

I have a bar chart that gives for 6 people of my team the "figures" per quarter.  Thus x axis is divided into 6 equal part, one for each of the person.  And within each part there are 4 vertical bars each representing the situation per quarter for the concerned person.

I would like to add a line (in this case only a horizontal line) to indicate the target to reach.

How could I add this line as a graph on secondary axis?

Many thanks in anticipation.

"=Hour()" formula is returning "#VALUE", How do i correct?

I've trying to figure out why the =HOUR formula is not working on some lines, but works fine on the others. The data it is referencing is a "mm/dd/yy  hh:mm" example of how it set up on my spread sheet is.

04/24/13  06:30#VALUE!
04/03/13  07:007

I have tried to change formatting of the cells, rewriting the data in the cells, starting from scratch. currently the raw data is in 24 hour format, I have tried to adjust to a AM/PM format with same results. the above example has the formula of "=HOUR(B7)" for the top one and "=HOUR(B8)" for the bottom.
