Issue with saving an excel file

I'm using office, specifically excel, on my iMac. In this particular spreadsheet, I've built a number of logic formulas that require nesting, i.e.: =IF(AND(A2="novice",A3=2),25,IF(AND(A2="novice",A3=3),30 etc... (approximately 10 nested items)
I've put the sheet together and all functions work perfectly. I save the sheet and re-open it and every one of these cells returns =#VALUE. No more formulas. I'm saving the file as .xls because I have to send it to someone with older Windows.
p.s.: There are other formulas on the sheet that are saving and re-opening perfectly. (SUMs and DSUMs). Just having a problem with the nested logic function.

Issues with format of Excel file created from an Oracle Report

I'm running Oracle Reports 6i. My reports run fine but when I covert them to Excel files I lose my column headings (they end of being repeated for each row in their own columns) and the ordering of my other columns. I can't figure out what is determining the column order as it is not the order of the items in Report Builder or in the query. Could someone tell me why this might be happening and how to fix the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a very new user. Thanks!

Hi,
First of all let me clear out generating a report pdf is different from excel.
The Repeating Frame and boxes,lines etc., used in your reports plays a vital role in excel.
Because, the fields in the reports are segmented into XL cells and displayed as the output.
For Better results in excel...Follow the below instructions,
--Remove Boxes,lines,etc.,
--Make your repeating frame and main frame visible (don't put 'NO_LINE') for any frames,
--Don't leave any unnecessary spaces in reports between fields,frames etc.,
--Then run your report.
It will work fine,
Regards,
Soofi

ITunes Library on NAS - issue with saving the library file

I recently moved my library file and all iTunes data to a NAS. Generally, this setup seems to work (although writing files and editing information is fairly slow). However, when iTunes is open for longer periods, I often get the error message "The iTunes library cannot be saved. The required disk cannot be found." The connection to my NAS drive seems ok, though. I would welcome any ideas or reports of any settings changes that may have fixed the same issue.

It sounds to me like your NAS is going to sleep.
From what I have read on this forum using iTunes with NAS has all kinds of issues.

Issues with saving as .mov file in iMovie OS X 10.9

ever since i updated to the new OS X 10.9 Maverick, and the update with iMovie, i can no longer seem to save my finalised videos in a .mov format (when you used to go to the drop down menu "share", and select a quick time format), but this is my preferred way of finalising videos. is there any way to do this in the latest updated version of iMovie?

As I see, the only option is to share to Theater, iTunes or a file. But there is no option to choose export format and bitrate.

Is anyone having an issue with saving Adobe Photoshop files to the server?

Unable to save Photoshop files to the server. Has anyone faced the same problem?

Two options. Doing either one worked.
1st option
In Photoshop preferences under File Handling set Preview to Never.
This has been working for me all day. Maybe a couple of times I got something about not being able to save because of not having access to the file, but then the save as dialog comes up and hitting okay saves the file.
Wasn't a big deal.
2nd option
Create a file (it didn't exist) in the /etc folder named nsmb.conf file, with the contents below.
[default]
streams=no
Here's where I got the info.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4590780#
Currently I'm doing option one, as it only turns off a feature in Photoshop and doesn't reconfigure anything in the OS.
It's probably just a byproduct of an OS being updated (lots of things happening) and Apple will remedy it in 10.8.1. At least this works for now.

Problem with opening MS Excel files through Portal

Hi All,
I have a user that is complaining about the behaviour of MS Excel files in the Portal. The MS Excel files do not match their behaviour at the windows level. The issue has to do with how MS Excel files never seem to open in a maximized sate when you open them from the portal. The same cannot be said about MS Word files. The behaviour of MS word files is consistent between windows and portal.
Solutions will be REWARDED.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

Hi Hussain,
I hav uploaded the excel file into my KM contentafter that when i try to open it , it does not open as maximized.
Let me explain:
I create a new excel file on my desktop:
I open this file:
I maximize the workbook and save:
I close Excel and then open the file right back up:
I notice that Excel and the workbook open up maximized. I close Excel again.
I now upload the file to the portal:
I then open the file from here:
It is noticed that the Excel is not maximized. We would like for it to behave as it does from the desktop. In other words, if it is saved as maximized, it should open from the portal that way. If it is saved as half way open, it should open that way from the portal.
I have found that MS Word documents behave in the portal as they do on the desktop. I create an MS Word file on my desktop:
There appears to be something portal related that prevents MS Excel files from opening maximized.
Hope you will be abl to solve the message.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Issues with importing from excel

I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
First my configuration
I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
This might be related,
I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

On point 3.
I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

Cannot go on suspend with an open Excel file from network

Hi all,
I cannot go on suspend with an open Excel file with macro - from network.
The error msg is that I need to close all the open files first.
"Windows cannot go on standby because Microsoft Office documents or application components are being accessed from the network. You must close the open documents or exit the application before you can put the computer on standby"
The error msg will not appear when I use regular excel files, only with macro.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, there are some reasons.
Firstly, if we got some error message like: "Cannot find the file 'C:\Folder\FileName.xls' .Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available."
Please try the steps:
Open Excel>Click on file>options>Advanced options>General tab>Uncheck the box “ignore other applications which use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE).
Secondly, When we try to open a Office file, it'll create a temp file in the same directory. If we have no full permission with the folder and OneDrive, we also could not open it. Thus, we'd better make sure we
have full permission. Please try to use the administrator account to test.
Thirdly, please see the some general troubleshooting about Excel start issue:

Hope it's helpful.

Issue with export in Excel in WAD

Hi
I have an issue with export to excel in WAD. I have a web template with two or more tabs.
On the webtemplate I have two buttons to export to excel. One to export the content from the active tab and one button to export content in all tabs.
My problem is that when I export to excel it always add the current/active content twice. I've tried with both buttons and they work as expected except that they export one table to much (the active).
can anyone help / give a clue what to look for.

John

Issue with Saved File Icons

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the icons for saved files in Premiere CS6 and After Effects CS6.
I've just recently made the transition from 5.5 to 6 and so far everything has been hunky dory. However, today I found that my system wouldn't recognise the saved files from Premiere, AE and Photoshop. So I right clicked on them and chose 'open with', found the correct programs and tried it that way. Photoshop worked fine, but Premiere and AE now have icons that, basically are a white square with a small 'PR' and 'AE' in the centre (same as the exe files). These icons do open up their corresponding projects, there is no issue with that, it's just a bit annoying. the only thing I did today was uninstall my CS 5.5 versions and download some AE templates from Adobe.
Anyone know of a way to reset the icons so they have their original look?
Cheers
John

I did today was uninstall my CS 5.5 versions
It's not a good idea to uninstall older versions after a newer version installed. Things to tend to get messed up. Always uninstall the old ones first.
Try reinstalling CS6.

Wss3 Issues with user check in files from within excel or word 2010

I have got a user reporting that he is experiencing (and it is getting more and more often) that when a file is checked out in excel or word, he then edit it, followed by clicking check in on the File tab within either excel or word. He then gets error see
image below.
Just wonder if anyone has seen this before? and where do I start...?
i have checked the site collection is about 12 GB in size, there are quite a few subsites in the area where this user is working, there are about 150 subsites, 3 levels... our wss3 version is 12.0.0.4621

Yesterday I just had another user report the similar issue with with office complaining that the file was not checked out therefor upload (check-in) was failed.
Please see the version and build number of MS Office
Forgot to say, we are all on the same release and updates for MS Office as well as IE.

Issue with Saving the Query output data in Excel format

Hi,
Recnetly we had upgraded from 4.6c to ECC 6.0.
In ECc 6.0 environment, when user try to export the query output , we are getting only XML option to save the data.
But user want to save the data in EXcel format, he was able to do that in 4.6C.
pleas eprovide some inputs, on this issue.
Thanks,
Sanketh.

I cannot for the life of me imagine, why a link to a post in the 'Business One Forum' where one uses ODBC to transfer query-data to MicroSoft Excel is of relevance to the OPs question, even if the same is not a security issue.
Never mind. [note 40155|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/402155] deals with various symptoms in the ALV-Excel combination as as of release 4.6C. There are various others, mostly in components BC-SRV-ALV and BC-ABA-LI - also: I remember that when we upgraded from 4.5B to 4.7C there was an issue with Excel-templates -> the solution was in the release notes somewhere. So, in addition to SMP you might want to check the release notes and/or upgrade guide for solutions.
And yes, moderators ... this is not a security issue, this should go to ECC-Applications/Upgrade.
