External Data Excel Export button

Hi All,

I have an Access report with a comments column. The datatype for this column is Memo field/Long text. This is an old issue as I have seen many discussions about it but no resolution to what I want to do. Very simple the end user wants to click on the Excel export file type in external Data after running the report and not have the comments field truncated. As, I mentioned the column type is Memo/long text so it should be able to handle the 300 or so characters that are in it. Additionally, why would it truncate if it can handle large amount of text. This should simple be an easy export.

Error: Excel cannot open the file '~$PERSONAL.XLSB' because the file format or file extension is not valid.

Hi all.  All of a sudden, whenever I open any Excel file (Office 2013; Win 10), it displays the message,

> Excel cannot open the file '~$PERSONAL.XLSB' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot/resolve this?

* I checked my XLSTART folder (C:\Users\<my_username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART), but it is empty.
* I tried disabling all protected view options, as in these instructions, but that didn't work.
* I tried searching for disabled add-ins, per these instructions, but that didn't work.
* All of my saved macros appear to still be working as expected.  .
* I want to say that at one point, I told Excel to look in additional folders for PERSONAL.XLSB files. I can't remember for sure though :-/
* I can't think of any recent changes I made that would have resulted in this.

Thanks in advance.

Power Query - Refresh Issues in Exported Excel

Hello

Hope someone can help me with my issue.

I have the below Query structure in my Excel. Basically, Volume/Base Price/Promo Rates etc. are merged to form Revenue Calculation and thenComparator Data is appended to Revenue Calculation to form Consolidated Revenue.

Because the file is very big (over 100MB), I have created another Excel file and imported the QueryConsolidated Revenue.

The issue I have is if I change anything in the feeding files i.e. Volume/Base Priceetc. and then go Refresh All in my newly created Excel the pivot doesn't refresh with the new numbers. Instead I need to go open the 100MB file , refresh all there and then go in new file and refresh all again.

I would like when I click Refresh All for the other excel to automatically refresh and spit out the new data in my newly created excel the same it would if I was using an access database (I switched my data from Access to PowerQuery - I don't want to use Access at all).

I have tried ticking/unticking "Refresh in background" many many times and in many combinations (in the Power Query, in the Excel etc.) but it doesn't work.

Please if you have any solutions I would be grateful

How to perform a series of search, queries across multiple excel tabs that also checks specific values and based on the values performs different steps - i.e. return values found or move to the next step

A. Tab 1 has rows of info ranked highest to lowest (Column A has the unique ID and Column B has the ranked weighting)
       a. Column A value on Tab 1 needs to be checked on Tab 2 against Column G (manual step - I use filter)
B. The query will return 1 row of data
       a. Then check column AH of tab 2: If value is DE = enter DE in Tab 1 columns C (and move on to the next item)
       b. If AH does not show DE – next query on tab 2 from Column H value (to check if other rows of info exist for the Column H value - manual step is filter for the value of Column H; note: if I do this manually, I use the drop down arrow, to clear Column G before you check Column H)
                   i. Need to query all column AH for that specific value (most will have more than 1 row)
                   ii. Then check all returned rows: column AH for DE
                   iii. Return all column AH values to tab 1 column C

Move onto the next row of tab 1, column A

note: when I do this manually I have to clear Column H 'filter' before I move to the next one

I have the excel file which would make the question/request make more sense... help please

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?

Power Pivot drillthrough limited to 1000 rows

Hello,

I am using Excel 2016, I made connection to an external Excel file and used Power Pivot to analyze the data. When I double clicked on one of the results, it only returned the first 1000 rows. I followed an online article (for Excel 2013), but the option to increase the number of results is greyed out.

Is there a new feature in 2016 to solve this?

Thank you,

Amy

Pivot table - show values as % Of gives #NULL! values where data exists !?!

Hi.

I have a 74R x 5C wide data table, which I use in a Pivot Table.

When I want to display certain data 'as % Of', it displays #NULL! values where it definitively should have values to display.

(absolute values are normally displayed)

It's quite difficult to explain without being able to show it in real time...

I therefore hope that my example file is sufficiently explanatory...

Thanks in advance for any help with this !

gr Kees.

ps:

I was hoping to be able to upload the .xlsx...but this seems not possible...

Is that correct ? Or can I somehow upload the 22 kB .xlsx ?

[VBA] “Error: When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts.”

March 12, 2019, 6:50 am

Hi all.  In VBA I'm trying to print a PDF to a file.  But when I do so, I encounter an error message:  `Error: When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts.`  Anyone know  why this is occurring, or how I can resolve it? 

Specifically, I have used the PrintOut method to save the current worksheet as PDF.  

`ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, PrintToFile:=True, _
    IgnorePrintAreas:=False`

This prompts me for a file name.  When I enter a file name, it displays an error message (screenshot):

`Error: When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.`

Anyone know why this error message is occurring, and how to resolve it?  Maybe I am approaching save-as-pdf incorrectly?

More Info

* As a test, if I remove the `PrintToFile:=True` portion of code, then the code prompts me for a file name (screenshot), and after entering a file name, it saves the PDF as expected, with the expected file name.

* My eventual goal is to have a preset file name automatically entered into this field and submitted, so I am not prompted to enter one every time--I want a PDF with my desired name to be automatically created and saved, without any prompts.

* I am using Excel 2013; Windows 10.

Thanks in advance.

Creating a measure to calculate % change when one unit is negative

March 12, 2019, 8:11 am

I've created Tables to show Sales Units, Previous Sales, Differences, % Change, etc... but when My Current year sales or previous years sales are a negative, my % change measure throws crazy -2000.0% or -1450.0% as results. In my line of industry if we discontinue a product there is still a chance it will come back as a negative. What can I do to accurately show what the REAL % change is on something like... Sales Units: 27... Previous Sales Units: -2... and not have the % change in sales turn out to be -1450% since the real difference in sales is a 29 case difference. Also this would have to work in the other direction if last years sales were positive and current sales may be a negative. And also I don't want to break the current logic that is working when both numbers are positive and % change is correct on those. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,

I have a question about Excel:

I have a drop down list in cell B2 with 5 options, referring to 5 different tables. Depending on which option I chose, a dependent drop down list(function =INDIRECT) in cell C2 is corresponding to each option. I would like to know if it’s possible to use vlookup in cell D2 for the dependent list that appears in cell C2. 

Thank you for your time!

Hello Guys,

My client is complaining for an issue with the PDF. Actually, when a user puts his comments on a PDF, save it back to SharePoint. Another user opens the pdf to review the comments and at the moment he placed his signature on the pdf, all the comments disappear and left with only arrows on the pdf. Please find example of the attached pdf.

Please advise urgently why is that happening, how to allow user placed his signature and allow all comments to appear.

Regards,

Bhavnasu
