Excel 2007 cell color changes when copying to other docum. using clipboard

Hi,
There is excel 2007 document which is generated by SAP. I think it contains
some VB macros and some grouping.
The problem is that if I select something from that document, copy that and
paste to another excel 2007 document - colors get inverted somehow - for
example white cell becomes red cell (backgroud color I mean), other
background colors changes as well.
If I open this xlsx document using excel 2003 (it converts document using
compatibility pack) the issue is gone - I can copy contents to other excel
2003 document without losing any format info.
The problem is that our users all use office 2007.
What could couse this behaviour ?
thanks in advance
Vilius

dear friend,
you would do:
1. search SAP Notes;
2. check out the updates/patches for your MS Office;
3. replicate it on another computer/another sap user (make sure it is a local issue)
good luck!

Cell/Background color changes when copying to other Excel 2010 document

When you copy and paste report cells (e.g. CO report outputted in Office integration, MS Excel) to a new Excel file, the background color changed dramatically (to bright red).

We tried paste option > match destination formatting but does not help.
Anyone has similiar problems? Appreciate any help.

Why are my colors changing when copy and paste a graphic from docA to docB both in illustrator?

Both documents in Illustrator CC are RGB and I'm trying to copy a logo onto a template, but the color of the logo completely changes when I copy and paste it into the template. The logo has three different pinks and they turn red when pasted. There is no graphic styling and the logo is all gradient.

What is weird is that we get a lot of logos from the same company and we put it on shirt templates so they can see size wise on how it would look on shirts. It's happened with other logos, but very slightly. I asked my co-worker who sends me the logos what version she uses and she also uses CC but does not know what version the other company uses. To them, it doesn't matter if the logo colors get altered, they have the PMS colors to work off of for screen printing. I just want to make sure that if another company sends us logos with PMS colors, we will know how to fix it.

Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

"Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.

Report Generation broken after deployment - Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi

Upon deployment, the Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi became broken. After installing LV2010 SP1 to view the VIs in the deployment, I noticed that in the second case structure where the code draws the border using the BorderAround invoke node, there is an extra variant input parameter named 'Parameters'. Upon right-clicking, an option to 'Relink Invoke Node' appeared and after selecting this, the extra input disappeared and the VI was no longer broken.
Why does "Relink Invoke Node" appear? How do I create a deployment with this issue? Has anybody else experienced this? Why is the TestStand deployment so buggy?

Hi Ching-Hwa,
I have set up a test deployment here where I am deploying a workspace that contains a sequence file. This sequence file has a LabVIEW Action Step calling a VI that opens a new Excel file and simply calls the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI. After deploying this, both the VI and my test sequence ran on the deployment machine without error. Therefore, I do have some more questions to more accurately reproduce what you are seeing.
First, what operating systems are you developing on and deploying to? Also, what license do you have for TestStand on the machine you are deploying to? If you have a development version, can you manually take the sequence file and VI to this machine and run it? I know you now have LabVIEW 2010 SP1 on your development machine, but if you have the development version of TestStand as well, it would be interesting to see if you copy the files over if you still see this behavior. Are you including the TestStand Engine in the deployment?
Can you open a blank VI on the deployment machine and add the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI? It would also be interesting to see if this is not a product of the deployment, but rather an issue with something on the deployment machine itself. What version of the Report Generation Toolkit do you have on each machine? Also, what versions of Excel are you using on the development and deployment machine? Again, it would be helpful for me to know exactly what versions you have installed on both the development and deployment machines so that I can reproduce this as accurately as possible.
One last thing to try, too, would be to try deploying the VI by itself just to see if it also has the same behavior. Do you have the Application Builder in LabVIEW? If so, could you also try building an executable from the VI, create an installer, and deploy this to the deployment machine?
In regards to the "freezing" of code by removing the block diagrams, I do not believe this will be a proper work around in this case. While this removes the block diagram from actually being deployed along with the VI and restricts users from editing the code on the deployment machine, if something is getting changed in the compiled code upon deployment, this will not stop this from happening. This option is available more as a memory option to lower the size of the deployment as well as prohibit any users on the development machine from editing the block diagram themselves.
Thanks, Ching-Hwa! I look forward to your response so that I can continue trying to reproduce this issue. Have a great day!

デフォルト（未配線）では白に設定されていますが、”色なし”に設定するにはどうしたら良いのでしょうか？

ご質問にお答え致します。
色なしにしたいとの事ですが、こちらでExcel Set Cell Color and Border.viを使用して簡単なVIを実行させてみましたが色なしに設定することはできませんでした。
そこで質問したいのですが色なしにする理由というのはバックグラウンドが白のままだとセルの枠が見えなくなるからでしょうか。
もしそうであれば設定により枠をつけることができますのでそちらの方を試して頂けたらと思います。
方法としましては同じExcel Set Cell Color and Border.viを使い設定します。
アイコンの上部にピンク色のピンが２つあるかと思いますがそちらからセル内側の線、外側の線を設定できます。
添付した画像を参照して下さい。
画像のように設定しますとセルに黒色の枠ができると思います。
数値設定などに関しても質問されていますが、そちらはヘルプがありますのでそちらを参照頂けると詳しい情報がわかるかと思います。
LabVIEWでVIを開いている時に　ctrl + H を押しますと小さいウィンドウ「詳細ヘルプ」が立ち上がります、その状態でマウスのポインタをアイコンに重ねて頂きますと詳細ヘルプにアイコンの説明が記述されます。
ウィンドウズ内のリンクからオンラインヘルプを参照することもできます。

Color change when opening in Reader

Hi, I created a PDF in Photoshop. I then added an editable field in Acrobat, using the same RGBs. When I open the file in Reader, the color of the editable field does not match. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this? I have the most recent version of Acrobat and Reader.
Thanks,
Jackie

Here is a screen shot of the reader PDF, followed by the original file in Acrobat. You can see that the entire document color changed when I opened it in Reader.
THanks,

NI_Excel.Ivclass:Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi Error

Hi
I was trying to compile a file and I kept getting an error. It zeroed in on the vi that was not compiling. I am attaching the vi to this message. The vi seems to be broken. And I am not sure how to fix this. Can some one please help me out with this. Thanks in advance.
I guess it is associated with Report Generation Toolkit. Please let me know if you need any more details.
This is the error message 'One or more required inputs to this function are not wired or are wired incorrectly. Show the Context Help window to see what the connections to this function should be.'

Why do colors slightly change when copying from Illustrator to Photoshop?

I want to copy a object from Illustrator and paste it into a Photoshop document with the same color mode and profile.
When I use the Eyedropper Tool on the pasted object in Photoshop the color seems to be slightly off.
Both the Illustrator and the Photoshop document have their Color Mode set to RGB
Both Applications are using synchronized color settings.
This also happens when the object is dragged or Placed. It does not happen when copying from Photoshop to Illustrator.
Could there be a problem with my color management settings? What actually happens to the color information, when it is copied from one application to another?
Thanks for any help.

Why the heck are people still using these nonsensical hexadecimal HTML numbers?
Since some decades we got used to describe RGB values by decimal numbers 0...255.
Both your value sets are practically the same, but how they were converted from one
to the other, that requires an investigation, how Adobe workflows are distributed
between California and Bangalore.

How to keep the column with FIXED? When I use pivot refreshes in Excel 2007, it keep changes

I use MS Excel 2007.
I want to keep the column fixed whenever I refresh data in pivot tables.
I tried even coding it with a macro:
Columns("B:F").Select
Columns("B:F").EntireColumn.AutoFit
And, in another time I tried columnwidth value to a fixed number; both doesnt work.
Please suggest a solution
Thanks in advance
Rafeek KBM

Hi Rafeek,
One solution is to set the column width after manually or programmatically refresh the PivotTable, for example:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
End Sub
Another option is to set the column width, then protect the columns from been updated by the user, before refreshing the PivotTable, unprotect the worksheet. For example:
Public Sub LockColumnA()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
ws.Columns("A").Locked = True
ws.Protect "123"
End Sub
Public Sub UnprotectWorksheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Unprotect ("123")
End Sub

Bring Excel 2007 to the front when called from LabView v9 in Windows 7

I am building a duplicate system using Windows 7, LabView v9 and Excel v2007. The original system used WinXP, Excel 2007 and LabView v8.6. The issue is that the original system was able to bring Excel to the front when called from Labview using the property node -application-> visible. This new configuration runs Excel, loads the data, runs the macros but does not bring Excel to the front. The icon blinks in the Win7 taskbar and when selected displays over LabView. If I minimize the Labview window, Excel is there. This leads me to conclude that Excel is visible, as requested but will not come to the front until selected from the taskbar. The only differences, besides the versions, is the original system template files used the .xls extension in and was run in Excel in compatible mode. At the customers request, the new system uses the .xlsm extension on the Excel template files. I have tried using application.visible = True in the macro as well. Could be a setting in Labview? Could be a setting in Excel? Could be .xls vs. .xlsm? Or an issue with Windows 7 and the newer version of Labview.

I will try the windowstate change. Were these done in succession? (i.e. property node -> property node -> property node) Or were they done along the way such as call the ActiveX open and a property node then in a worksheet modification area etc. so there was some time between calls?
I am not sure about the API since the discussion there is with regard to DDE. (Taken from the link document: If you want to call a DLL that contains ActiveX
objects, use the Automation
Open VI with the Property
Node and the Invoke
Node.). I am calling Excel as an application not as a library call unless I am mistaken, which I could certainly be. Are you thinking that once Excel is active through the Automation Open VI that a DLL call to set the application visible would work? I may be trying this already but in Excel through the use of the macro I call from LabView. It contains application.visible = True at the beginning before reading files and plotting data.
I may try sprinkling Property node with application->visible in various locations in the LabView diagram as I do update cells after the call to the plot macro. The puzzle for me is the blinking Excel icon in the task bar. This means active and running but not visible or something wrong as well. There are a few #VALUE cells if not all test in the system are run. Again not a problem in Excel 2007-WinXP-LV8.6
Thank you again one and all.

Color change between copy and paste

Hi,
when I draw a rectangle or any other shape in Pages and give that objet a color (RGB: 175,217,82) and I copy and paste that objet, the color of the copied object does change to (RGB: 188,219,108). Copying the copied object stays the same (RGB: 188,219,108).
This unwanted color-change is very annoying! Help, what am I doing wrong?
Best regards.
Maurice

Maurice,
There is a difference between the RGB color assigned to the object and the color you measure when you probe the screen area of the object with the color picker tool. I presume this has something to do with the screen driver's attempt to balance the colors or something. (Not an expert here, just observing.)
There hasn't been a change in color, just a difference between the assignment and the measurement. Trust the color swatch of the Fill tool, not the measurement tool.

Font changes when copy and paste url (Safari to Mail)

When copy from iphone 5 (vs 7.1.2-& no I don't want to update yet ) Safari, a URL/web address and paste into MAIL app, the font changes and won't paste in the same format as the email I've been typing. Is there any way to correct this? Also, anything I type after the paste keeps that same "other" format, when I want what I had started email in to stay the same.
I tho't I"d look at some settings and under iphone Accessibiilty I have Larger Text ON and Bold Text chosen, and Reduce Motion ON. Under GENERAL and TEXT SIZE I have it set to 4th choice up. I don't see any MAIL settings re FONT. Would any of these be the cause?

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)
