Dimensions are saving as .xls instead of .xlsx

I am on BPC 7.0.  My dimensions are currently saving as .xls (Excel 2003) files when I process the dimesnion from Admin.  How can I change this so that the dimensions will save as .xlsx (Excel 2007) files?  I have tried opening the dimension file in Excel 2007, then saving it as an .xlsx file, but when I try to open the dimension from Admin afterward, it does not recognize the file. 
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi Khristina,
The SP2 does support excel 2007 format. However, there are few catches.
When you process dimension for the first time, a message window will pop up asking to select the version, 2003 or earlier, or 2007. Once this option has been selected. It creates an entry in the table tblDefaults and cannot be changed later.
If you have selected 2003 or earlier, then the dimensions will be saved with .xls extension. In this case, all the excel versions (including 2007) can open the dimension sheets.
If you have selected 2007, the dimensions will be saved with .xlsx extension. In this case, the dimension sheets can be opened only if your system has 2007. If any system has 2003 or earlier version, then they will not be able to open the dimension sheets.
Hope this helps you.

  • Files are saving to desktop instead of into the original folder

    Is there a simple fix? Some files, such as Quark files are saving to the desktop, rather than to the folder in which the original file resides. I've checked everywhere for the selection "save to same location as original file.," or some such thing. Help!

  • Excel files are saved as HTML files

    Hi All,
    I am saving the output files into a shared location in excel or csv format. However when i ask the users/business to have a look into it then they say that the files are opening as html web page and not able to load properly.
    I checked it myself and found it true, all the xls and csv files are saved with .xls and .csv format only but when i try to open it and do as 'save as' then it by default tries to save it as a webpage. Is there any way i can correct this so the file is actually saved as xls only.
    Please suggest
    Thanks

    Hi Gareth,
    I am using BI Publiser to ftp my report to the shared location. This is what it involves
    [1] build the report in BIP
    [2] while scheduling the report in BIP use sftp option to save the output file to the shared location
    this is simple process to export the files to the desired location. Now while doing that ...i choose the output format ( template format) as excel and give the extension of the file as .xls.
    The files does get saved as xls file but then when i try to save that agian to another location by opening it than it, by default , tries to save it as web page ....similarly when i ask business to have a look at the output files and when they open it than it opens as a web page .....wheareas it should be an excel file ..
    Please revert if you require more elaborate explanation
    Thanks

  • Bookmarks are saved yet after using the page icon is still displayed instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display".

    My bookmarks, on a HP Pavilion dv-7-2273cl notebook, are saved yet the page icon is still displayed after using the bookmark instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display" without any success. This problem is not experienced on my much older Gateway desktop.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Scanned documents saving as .BMP instead of .PDF

    I've had my laptop and all-in-one since June.  I've been scanning my little heart out and saving them as PDF's with no problem.  Until a few days ago when I was tempted to re-enact the printer smashing scene from Office Space.  Now when I scan sometimes it will save as a PDF but most of the time it will save as .bmp.  When scanning documents I select save as PDF but once the document is scanned and I go through the steps to save,  all pages are saved separately as .bmp instead of .pdf.  I haven't changed any settings that I am aware of and I'm not doing anything differently.

  • Comments are saved where??

    Hallo!
    Does anyone know where iWeb's blog comments are saved? In which file?
    I have got the following problem: I spent the last 6 weeks not at home but with my girlfriend who has an iBook. So while I can't use my PC notebook for iWeb I had the idea to use her Mac. I opened my domain file with her iWeb, made the changes and.... stupidly uploaded not to mine but to her .Mac account. Instead of thinking (meaning: just switching her .Mac settings to mine and upload again) I downloaded my webpage from her idisk and uploaded the changed files to my idisk. As you can imagine, all the RSS etc. was now enabled for her .Mac account - and all my blog's comments were gone.
    I still have my old domain file back home, so I wonder where the comments are saved so that I might be able to get them back. If they are saved in the domain file somewhere, is it possible to just upload the old domain file and then the new one again afterwards (and get the comments back)?
    If the comments are only saved online I guess they are gone for good...
    Thanks to anyone who knows something that could help me!

    Hi!
    I started iWeb with my old domain-file (not the one I changed at my girlfriend's ibook) and all the comment were still there. Then I published ALL to .Mac.
    When I checked online, all comments were back again. After that I quit iWeb and relaunched with the new domain-file which showed the comments in iWeb, too. Republished ALL to .Mac again and everything worked fine. "Search" finds stuff in the new entries as well now, too.
    I do not know if this helps you. Did your comments ever appear online? I am sure they are saved somewhere on .Mac and not on the computer itself, so if you see them in iWeb (after several republishs) then they should be "Up There".

  • Can I customize dimensions of saved video PE11?

    I've been trying to do this for some time but not found a way.  I often download video clips from the web and many of these are pixel dimensions 1200 x 720 (although not always, but the principle is the same).  I often want to edit these to upload to my Dropbox so that friends can view them, but the various standard frame sizes for Playback to Computer or Burn to DVD don't scale down in proportion (unless I've missed the right ones).   This results in considerable distortion.
    Perhaps one could crop the entire video, I don't know, I've never tried that -- wouldn't it degrade the whole thing badly?
    Is there any way to downscale, say, to something like 720 x 405?   Doesn't have to that, particularly, but something to reduce the size so that people can download it quickly?
    Thanks in advance for help on this
    all best
    Brian

    OK, so at last I've had a chance to look at this, and spent the last couple of hours finding out (or trying to get to grips with it).   I made notes as I went, and I'll just copy / paste them here, maybe with one or two corrections.
    Downloading clips from the web to edit and forward to friends is a somewhat laborious process with me (and almost certainly must degrade the quality, but for most everyday purposes I don't mind so long as it's not very noticeable -- although that is *not* the case if I'm really working on something I want to look as good as possible) -- here, I'm really talking about those video clips I want to download from the web, perhaps edit a little bit, and forward to friends who missed the original.   I don't own the copyright on them and so wont be putting eg on You Tube and suchlike.
    So the problem I've been having is really only about the downloads.
    The 'laborious' process is that I use LiteCam t www.litecam.net/  (in my case it has /en for the UK after it)
    I can record using preset fps buttons from 10 - 100 fps, but usually use 25fps, probably because that's the way my own videos come out of my Canon DSLR. But I suppose if I wanted a high quality recording, I'd use 50 or 60fps.  I've not done that.  (Although many of the web clips I want are in 30fps and also of course NTSC.  I have to make this PAL in my output.)
    There are several options under 'Video Recording' for LiteCam (one can also record Games direct from the monitor, but I'm not into that):
    Microsoft MPEG-4 Video, MS Video 1, Intel (2 sub-types), Cinepak Codec by Radius (whatever that is) and so on ...
    See for example http://www.litecam.net/en/support/online-guide/litecam-hd/converting-and-extraction/convert-video -file/
    or http://tinyurl.com/ocpqj99
    I've only been using LiteCam for a few months and as far as I know, it always* records in .avi, with which I don't think PE11 is compatible, or at least I find it gets the audio, but not the video (there was some discussion of this on the Forum a while back, I recall).   *Yes, .avi is invariable with LiteCam.
    So that means I use the LiteCam facility to convert to MPEG-4, although actually now I think of it, I've often used another bit of software I have, Any Video Converter.   http://www.anvsoft.com/
    This converts formats into a wide range of other formats, including for Apps, phones &c, but when I've used it, I convert to MPEG-II, and this works with PE11.
    But LiteCam converts it into MP4 (I'm still not sure if MP4 is the same as MPEG-II, although I've read it up twice!)   Incidentally when I did this just now to confirm what I'm writing about, PE11 gave a pop-up message to say it was activating some component, but I didn't see what the component was.  This was after importing the MP4 converted video.
    The problem I often have with this is that it puts the video and audio sightly out of synch -- often unusably so.  So I must find a better way, ie rather than this laborious method.
    Now to the nub of the problem.  Trying this just now, I recorded with LiteCam a short clip, sizing the recordable area frame to exactly cover the size of the clip on my monitor.
    PE11 'Properties' tells me that the px dimensions are  956 x 552
    I could actually stick with that, but suppose I want to reduce the size to make it easier for people to download it when I send it to them?
    Here's an example of a clip I downloaded, PE11 tells me it's an MPEG Movie, Image Size  720 x 404, Frame Rate 29.97, Average data rate 119 KB/second
    Following up your suggestion, I've had a look at the Export Settings dialog box.   I've seen it before, but never used it.  Thinking about it, it's quite a revelation.
    And by the way, I thought I'd see what Steve Grisetti has to say about it in his Muvipix Guide to PE11.  While there I read his very useful note (p 246 - 247) on exporting JPEGs for web use or printing (as distinct from using in videos).   I did a comparision with a Freeze Frame against a JPEG made using Steve's instructions, and there's a huge difference, which I'd not really noticed before.
    But I digress.
    Here I must make an embarrassing confession.  I did not realise that right at the side of the panel, on the far right, one can slide it down to reveal more options.  Up to this moment, I thought the only ones for the 'Computer' option were Flash Video, MPEG and AVCHD.  Oh dear!  (But really, Adobe, why don't they put a little visible ARROW for people like me -- but perhaps there are no people like me ...  Moving quickly on ...)  Anyway I spent 15 minutes trying to follow Steve's directions and not getting anywhere until I re-read them for the n'th time.
    And I could have saved myself endless time had I known there was a "Use for email and playback on Windows PC", ie a Windows Media option.   I really must read things more carefully.  Problem with the early 21st century -- information overload, which can mean (for some of us) a tendency to skim things quickly for the bare essentials:  can be a huge mistake.
    I must do some more work on this, but, ATR, I think you've helped me to solve this little problem, so many thanks again.   But I'd still like a much more direct method of screengrabbing videos on the fly in a way that doesn't mean having to convert them for PE11, with the loss of quality, and above all the occasional synch problems.
    All best

  • How do make Finder to refresh file info so that dimensions are up-to-date?

    When I have edited photos and go back to the folder in Finder, the file dimensions are not up-to-date for files that I have cropped.
    What I am looking for is the equivalent of F5 in Windows, which causes a screen refresh, so that I can see which files I have forgotten to re-size after cropping.
    I think Finder does eventually get the info right but the user has no control over when this happens.

    I don't know if I was very clear.  I want the users to fill out a form and click a button when they are done.   Then I want the result of clicking the button to be for the form to print to Adobe PDF first followed by emailing to me.  Right now the way I set the button up (below), I receive the actual form via email. 
    "Actions" tab,
    "Mouse up,
        Execute a menu item
            File>Save as>PDF...
        Submit a form"
    I want a non editable printed/ refried version AKA "print to Adobe PDF" on the menu items sent to me instead of the actual form.  I have searched all over but can't find if this is possible.

  • Thunderbird keeps asking for ALL my passwords EVERYTIME and they are saved in Thunderbird

    As the question reads: Thunderbird keeps asking me for ALL my passwords everytime I open Thunderbird and sometimes inbetween.
    All my passwords are entered correctly as per my mail servers and all the passwords are saved. I asked Thunderbird to remember them all and Thunderbird has a list of passwords recorded in the Tools >>Options >>Security >>Passwords >>Save Passwords. There are no mistakes there.
    Because Thunderbird kept asking for the passwords, I entered a Master Password. This did not solve my problem. Instead, now I have one more password to enter. I eventually removed the Master Password again as it really serves no purpose.
    If this would help at all: The laptop is an HP655 running on Windows 8 and using Thunderbird 24.6.0.
    My other laptop is an Acer E1-531 also running on Windows 8 and Thunderbird 24.6.0 - I have no problems here with passwords being asked all the time.
    Maybe it is the HP655?
    Can you please assist me? This is very frustrating and your help will be much appreciated.

    ''I eventually removed the Master Password again as it really serves no purpose.''
    Read this article to understand what the master password is all about.

    Try to delete the passwords Thunderbird has remembered. Make sure to check the option to remember it the next time you're prompted for the password.

  • When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
    Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

    I did a Windows update this am. As soon as that was completed, my Firefox froze and wouldn't respond at all. I had to close it out. After I tried to reopen it, and it won't open at all. I try to uninstall it to reinstall and it says "Firefox must be closed to complete this task". I checked in my task manager and Firefox isn't running any more. I have shut down the computer a few times. I even did a restore to a previous day, and it still doesn't work. I am so stressed out. All of my passwords and bookmarks are saved there! Please help

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

  • How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display/

    How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original?   Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

    There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture:  a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made.  (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
    The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack.  A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack.  This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick.  If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album.  Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick".  (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.)  The change is immediate.  The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.
