Unable to open non-Office formats from File-Open Menu in Window 2016

I'm trying to open up a text file in Excel or Word.

Previously I'm sure the Open window allowed you to chose only Word or ALL file formats, but I can't see how to do that in Windows 16.

Can I access the file from within Word?

Also - I've tied opening up the file through "Open With" from Windows Explorer - but can see how to navigate to Word / Excel from their either!

.XLS File Issue

Dear Support Team,

SAP ERP system is generating .xls file when I try to open, it throws below error  

"The file format and extension of 'abc.xls' don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you 
trust its source, don't open it. Do you want to open it anyway"

In my system office 2016 has been installed.

There is an automatic program is running, so it extracts the data from .xls file and upload to the SAP ERP system. But, due to above error xls file data is not getting uploaded to ERP system.

It's very big issue...production has been delay from more than one month due  to this.

My Question is to Support team

1. Why this error is coming ? Is there any solution to resolve this issue ?

Note:- Production is getting affected due to this xls error, if you have any solution for it then please respond me ASAP, It would be great help from your side.

I need permanent solution for it, not like every xls file i have to open and have to do something

my program is running and it's automatic, it's just unable to extract the data due to this.

Appreciate your time,

Pivot Table not pulling data from new dates

$
0
0

Hey there, 

I inherited a massive spreadsheet with about three dozen pivot tables that are supposed to expand as new information is added to the pivot table range. However, it appears the pivot table has some kind of date range lock or something because it won't update the table when information for 2019 is added. When I open up the table to see all data its pulling, it does not show the new data even though that data is clearly within the pivot table data range. Worthy or noting, when I create a new pivot table with the same date range, it pulls in the new 2019 data no problem. 

I do not want to have to go through and recreate all the pivot tables because those pivot tables are all feeding other data summary formulas through out this document. 

What is the best form of troubleshooting this? Happy to make a video walking through what I'm seeing.

Excel "get and transform" crashes immediately on run -- "Container unexpectedly exited. Exit code: 0xC0000005"

See https://pastebin.com/nCVvBKQ6 for the full dump.

So, I use Excel 2013 at work. This version doesn't seem to include Power Query, so I installed the corresponding .msi file to get Power Query to show up in Excel, and then I set up a couple of queries using a .json file that I pulled online. I was able to do this without any issues. I then sent the Excel file to myself via e-mail.

However, when I tried to run the same queries from the Excel file on my home computer, which has Excel 2016, the query doesn't run. I get an error saying: "Container unexpectedly exited. Exit code: 0xC0000005". I've tried with multiple different .json files, and I've tried reconstructing the workbook from scratch -- just in case there are compatibility issues -- but always get this error. I also checked onanother computer that had Excel 2019 and ran into the exact same problems.

Anyone know what's going on?

Disappearing characters in formula bar

I am running Excel 2010 on Windows 7. When I select a cell, the formula bar only shows part of the formula. The characters are there, I can replace or delete them but they are invisible. When I press F2 in order to edit the formula within the cell it is displayed fine. The numbers of hidden characters varies depending on the length of the formula/value.

INDIRECT function in Excel 2007 Data Validation does not reference named range if OFFSET in named range

$
0

I am setting up dependent drop-down lists (Data Validation on the cell), but I am getting an error on the dependent drop-down if the first drop-down uses a dynamic named range.  The first drop down references a named range that was created using the OFFSET function to get as many rows as are in a list.  The list happens to be a list of Names that are also set up as named ranges.  This works fine.  The second drop-down uses the INDIRECT function in the Data Validation to set its validation to use the named range that was selected in the first drop down.  Sorry if this is getting confusing!  This works fine if the named range that is selected in the first drop down was created with actual selected cell ranges like A1:A12.  If the first drop-down returns a name that is created using the OFFSET function, I get an exception and no results in the drop down.

If I just assign the second drop-down validation to the named range itself (same value as is in the first drop-down), it works fine!  In other words, using INDIRECT does NOT give me the same result as just typing the named range in the data validation window.  That has to be a bug.

Has anyone encountered this?  Know of any workaround?  This would be a really cool way to set up data validation, but it doesn't seem to work.  Any assistance is appreciated!!!  Thanks.

Powerpivot stuck at loading data model

On our Windows 10 Enterprise systems with Office 2016 Pro Plus, PowerPivot will not start. The add-in is enabled and clicking on the Manage icon causes the loading data model to hang until Excel is closed.  Once closed, Excel presents an error message"PowerPivot is unable to load the data model".  These are domain joined systems and the Office 2016 ADMX settings have been applied to them.  I created an OEM system with Office 2016 that is off domain and PowerPivot starts correctly on it.  I can't seem to find any log files that might indicate where the issue is stemming from.   Would anyone have any ideas on how to proceed with troubleshooting?
