Excel 2010 Concatenate to Actual Result

It's going to be VBA - the hard way is the easy way sometimes.
Would having the result values in the column next to the inputs get it done?
And are all the inputs in consecutive rows?
Found a hunk of code that did the basic fetching but it needed a little tweaking - it was written to display stuff - not return it -  but that was an easy fix - just need to write the loop code but that's gonna be tomorrow unless someone else gets to it first because it's a bit late

I do NOT know vba, but apparently that will be next on my list.GOAL: To be able to pull a cell result from multiple files (100) located in multiple folders (6). This will serve as an at-a-glance file that will pull information from all those 100+ files.I have multiple variables to pull from.
MainFolder \ SubFolder \ file.xlsx \ Sheet \ Cell
Col A \ Col B \ Col C \ Col D \ $G$2I have been able to concatenate the variable cells into getting the following:='C:\2015Time\ADM\[Berry.xlsx]No_Cycle'!$AM$10However, I cannot get it to return the cell results itself by doing the following:Formatting the cell to General, or TextCopy, then Paste Special - ValueHyperlink will only attempt to open the file, rather than give the valueInstead of concatenate, I've used the ampersand (&) to joinPull, Indirect (as I will not have 100+files open) commands...

  • Errors opening Excel 2007 spreadsheets in Excel 2010

    When I try to open spreadsheets created in Excel 2007 with Excel 2010, I get the error:  "Excel found unreadable contenct in 'file name'.  Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook?  If you trust the source of this workbook, click
    Yes".  Then a Repairs dialog box comes up saying:  "Excel completed file level validation and repair. Some parts of this workbook may have been repaired or discarded.    Removed Part: Print options."  File then opens fine. 
    We receive Excel 2007 from various sources.  One of my problem is that we are just starting to migrate people to Windows 7 and Office 2010, with most people still on Office XP.  The file format converter for Excel 2002/2003 does not work with these
    Excel 2007 files.  The other problem is that we have macros that are used to open Excel files and import data into other Excel files.  Pretty hard to modify these macros to allow for some files that are going to pop up this error, and others that
    do not.
    What is causing this problem, and what fix is available?  We have asked that people save the Excel files in Excel 97-03 format before sending to us, with mixed results. 

    Hi,
    Thank you for using Excel IT Pro Discussions forum. 
    Are you using Office 2010 RTM version? If it is trial version or beta version, I suggest upgrading it to the RTM version.
    First, please check if this KB article helps:
    Error message when you try to open a workbook in Excel 2007: "Excel found unreadable content in Book_Name"
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929766
    Note: The steps are for Excel 2007. The steps in Excel 2010 are similar.
    If the problem persists, let’s also check the following settings in Excel 2010.
    ========
    1.      
    In Excel 2010, click File > Options > Trust Center > File block settings.
    2.      
    Check the checkboxes before:
    Excel 2007 and later Wordbooks and Templates
    Excel 2007 and later Macro-Enabled Workbooks and Templates
    Excel 2007 and later Add-in Files
    Excel 2007 and later Binary Workbooks
    Then, try to open the Excel 2007 file in Excel 2010 and check the results again.

  • How to NOT return MSQuery results in a table in Excel 2010

    In Excel 2010, I only have the options to return my query results in a table, pivot table, or both.  If I convert the resulting table to a range, I lose the query.  Why am I restricted to using a table?
     I want to return the results into a spreadsheet and retain the query like I could in 2003.  I want to be able to layout and format as I want.  I want to be able to enter criteria in a cell and have the query return the proper results. 
    I am querying via ODBC sources against SQL and Redbrick databases.  I was able to do this in 2003.  Is the option still available?  Am I not finding it?

    Hi Bet_T,
    What do you have against getting the results in a table as opposed to a non-
    formatted range? There are quite some advantages a table has over a regular range of cells, like automatic expansion when used as the source of a chart or a pivot table.
    You should still be able to add parameters to cells.

  • Excel 2010 missing default suggested file name in Save As dialog box

    I’m using Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 (32 bit).  When I open a certain file which produces the following message: "A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates", and then go to “Save As” (or “Save”) the
    file, the default suggested file name is missing (blank).  This didn't occur in previous versions of Excel. 
    In previous versions, Excel would automatically populate the original file name in to the File Name field.
      I have searched all over the net, looking for a way to change Excel so that it will once again populate the file name in this situation. 
    To reproduce:
    Create a new blank workbook
    save as type “Web Page”, (i.e. File name:  “Blank Example.html”)
    Close workbook
    In windows, rename file from .html to .xls  (i.e. rename “Blank Example.html” to “Blank Example.xls”)
    In Excel open renamed file (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”) and click “Yes” when prompted with the “A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates” message.
    Do a “Save As” and you will notice that the File Name is blank. In previous versions, this field would contain the current workbook file name
     (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jaynet,
    In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
    The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you.  At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
    html format (but with the .xls
    extension). 
    (I actually prefer the .xls
    extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
    for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
    To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me).  It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
    In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file.  I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
    I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
    However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format

    Hi All,
    Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format.  I'm currently running the following report in SAP  and would like the
    ability to set this report up as a recurring report running weekly and
    subsequently access this report in a useable Excel 2010 format without
    much data manipulation.  Can you please assist me.  Below, I've tried to
    provide an example of what I'm encountering.   Thanks, beforehand for
    your assistance.
    Here goes:
    Step one: Run 62 Report in SAP S_P99_41000062- Material List Price and
    Inventory
    Step 2. Select stored Variant "Weekly KPI", ok. Enter the enter  the
    desired company code and period I want thre report to run for and update
    the currency, if necessary. Having input my desired criteria, I believe
    I can either execute immediately, run in the background, preset to run
    at date in the future. For this example let's just execute, immediately.
    This is where the difference originates. Given, I run this report
    immediately, I'm able to simply extract the result to Excel via the list
    selection noted in the tool bar below.  The result is a data friendly
    excel 2007  report is automatically generated.
    Export to Excel via list:
    Select save and Excel 2007 opens automatically:
    That said, the method outlined above works perfectly fine if you want
    the report immediately.  Now let go back and run the exact same report
    with exceptoin of running it in the background and having to retrieve it
    from the Spool (SP01) uisng my user ID.  Given the report generated in
    the background,  I would now access the report via the spool and make
    the following selections:
    SP01 + execute to see my report
    I would hit the sunglasses to see the actual report, then want to
    extract this report to Excel by selecting the export option.
    I would at this point select spreadsheet and be given an option to save
    the spreadsheet to local file. However, upon trying to open the
    spreadsheet I will receive an error messageindicating that the format is
    different than that which the file I am currently trying to open it
    with.  I'm currently running Excel 2010 on my computer.  The currency
    format and other issues arrise with this extract.  Please help. 
    Thanks,
    Chowadary.

    Update to Latest GUI.
    Use   List -> Export -> Spreadsheet  to get the output to excel.
    I remember in ALV max length allowed is 1023 characters and the max no of columns supported is 90. Issue occurs when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character. (This includes if Long/Medium Header Text used ) If it exceed 1023 character the columns splits and moves to next row.
    Check your fieldcatog for header lengths.

  • What algorithm does Excel 2010 use for Pseudo Random Number Generation (MT19937?)

    Does Excel 2010+ use the Mersenne Twister (MT19937) algorithm for Pseudo Random Number Generation (PRNG), implemented by the RAND() function?
    This has been a nagging question for some time now, with "hints" that it indeed does.  However, a relatively thorough search turns up no definitive documentation.  The most direct indication is perhaps given by Guy Melard [Ref 9] where
    he tests Excel 2010's RAND() function using the Crush battery of tests in TestU01 by L'Ecuyer & Simard.  Melard references a "semi-official" indication that Microsoft did indeed implement MT19937 for the RAND() function in
    Excel 2010, but this reference no longer seems to be available. http://office.microsoft.com/enus/excel-help/about-solver-HP005198368.aspx?pid=CH010004571033.
    The other references below [Ref 1-10] document the history of the statistical suitability of the PRNG and probability distributions in various versions of Excel.  This includes the Wichmann-Hill PRNG implementations supposedly (arguably) used in
    Excel 2003 & 2007 for random number generation.  But still, we have no answer as to which PRNG algorithm is used in
    Excel 2010 (and 2013 for that matter).
    Microsoft indicates that RAND() has been improved in Excel 2010; Microsoft states, "...and the RAND function now uses a new random number algorithm." (see https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Whats-New-Changes-made-to-Excel-functions-355d08c8-8358-4ecb-b6eb-e2e443e98aac). 
    But no details are given on the actual algorithm.  This is critical for Monte Carlo methods and many other applications.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    I found the same KB article:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/828795
    This was introduced (according to the article) in Excel 2003. Perhaps the references in notes 2 and 3 might help.
    The article describes combining the results of 3 generators, each similar to a Multiply With Carry (MWC) generator, but with zero carry. MWC generators do very well on the Diehard battery of randomness tests (mentioned in your references), and have
    very long periods. But using zero carry makes no sense to me.
    Combining the three generators only helps if the periods of the 3 are relatively prime (despite what the article implies). Then the period of the result will be the product of the 3 periods. But without knowing the theory behind these generators, I have
    no idea what the periods would be. The formulas for MWC generators fail here.

  • Unable to save MS Word and Excel 2010 and 2013 onto the network share

    Hi,
    I have read similar cases, but did not work out on the problems we face.
    We are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 and it seems like only this combination will encounter saving problem on the networe share (but local / removable disks are fine) - 
    Other combinations:
    Windows XP and Office 2010 - no problem
    Windows XP and Office 2003 - no problem
    Windows 7 and Office 2003 - no problem
    In Microsoft Word 2010, when saving a new document, it will save but create a 0KB file in the network share drive and I notice the blue menu bar of the Microsoft Word 2010 still displays "Document1" instead the new file name.
    And only when I click save icon or exit button, Word actually prompts another "Save As" dialog to save the file, and as a result, I have to save the same file and answer MS Word prompt to replace the existing file - and this is the real time that
    the document and its contents really got saved. And the blue menu bar then displays the actual file name.
    In Microsoft Excel 2010 (also Powerpoint I suppose so), in saving a new excel file, after typing in a file name for the new file in the network share location, it will prompt a dialog box indicating the "File is currently in use"
    Similar to MS Word, it will still create a 0KB file in the network share, and only a second time saving and replace the 0KB file, is able to save the file again. 
    I have tried a lot of ways from Safe Mode, Disable Add-in, Added Trusted Locations to the network share in MS Word and Excel, Uninstall Antivirus software, redo NTFS permission on the network share server folder, etc but the problem cannot
    be solved.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Daryl

    Thank you Max.
    I have tried various storage configurations and share the folders out in Windows Servers and grant user accesses with AD.
    These drives configuration involves iSCSI drives, using NAS drive, using internal SAS RAID drives in Windows 2008 servers, all having the same errors, but the latter one was having the most errors almost every first time the users
    save their files (includes saving from email attachments), the files will get 0KB.
    I have tested LAN cables, switch LAN points in panels and switches, and comes to no avail.
    I have patched with the latest office updates (the latest being Office 2010 SP2) also to no avail.

  • SSRS 2012 export to Excel 2010 Via IE8 has many compatibility issues

    Hi There,
    We have many reports in SSRS 2012 which had originally developed in SSRS 2005. When ever we render these report into Excel we face two major issues;
    First: After reports render in to Excel (xlsx) format, we have cell, column, row shifting problem and every element of the report is not in the same place as appose to 2005 render to xls format. Second.
    for any drill through (link) report all the url will be blocked by Excel. 
    We use SSRS 2012, Office 2010 and IE 8. Also we don't want to add Export to Excel 2003 feature. In other word we want out put in xlsx. 
    Any solution, suggestion, hotfix is appreciated 

    Hi Mercede,
    According to your description, after you updated SSRS 2005 reports to SSRS 2012, reports render appose to 2005 when export them to Excel, and drill through link is blocked.
    Question1:
    A report definition file includes a reference to the RDL namespace that specifies the version of the report definition schema that is used to validate the .rdl file. After a report is upgraded locally or on the report server, you might notice additional errors,
    warnings, and messages. This is the result of changes to the internal report object model and processing components, which cause messages to appear when underlying problems in the report are detected.
    When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace. This is the only way
    you can upgrade a report definition file.
    In order to improve the efficiency of troubleshooting, I need to ask several questions:
    “we have cell, column, row shifting problem and every element of the report is not in the same place as appose to 2005 render to xls format” Could you please provide detailed information about the problem? I would be appreciated it if you could provide
    a screenshot.
    Did you update the reports by opening the .rdl files in SSDT?
    Could you export report to Excel 2003 to see if it displays correctly?
    This may be a lot of information to ask for at one time. However, by collecting this information now, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
    Question2:
    I tested the issue in my local machine, when we add drillthrough action to the report, if we select Go to report or Go to URL, the link works fine after we export report to excel. It failed to work when we use javascript:void window.open to open a URL in new
    windows, the “window.open” can’t work in Excel because of the JavaScript protocol can work only with an exact page.
    For more information about Upgrade Reports, please refer to the following document:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143674(v=sql.110).aspx
    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

    Hi Wendy,
    Thank you much for your fast respond. And as for your questions:
    1- Yes I did upgrade them by using SSDT tools in VS2012 and then deploy them again into our SSRS2012 report server.
    2- For URLs and Hyperlinks, because the action is go to sub report, I used "Go To Report" and by look at content that been blocked by Excel, I have noticed that (Go To Report) action passes IP address of our SSRS Server . I don't know how can I change
    it to use the actual path instead.
    3- Shifting the Cells and Rows means when I export report (from SSRS 2005) to excel in xls format (Excel 2003 for example), has very same look as it shows in screen, but when I export it from ssrs 2012 to render it in to xlsx format (Excel 2010 in our case)
    I face with merging cells and when I compare this xlsx out put with xls out put of very same report I have see the row that used to be on A23 for example now is in A20 or the column that used to be in A7 now is in B9 for example. And required a lot of manual
    work on design to work with spaced between text boxes and location of each data region, and overlaps to get the same result. I want to know is there more efficient way to achieve the same out put as  xls.
    4- I can't export report to render in Excel 2003 (xls) format directly from SSRS server for we don't have that option in our export list, but I did "save it as" xls and faced the same Row, column, cell shifting as with xlsx.
    Thank you so much 
    I am realistic, I expect miracles.

  • SSAS tabular mode Perspective display in Excel 2010

    Hello All,
    I have SSAS tabular modal cube. I created one perspective based on user requirement. I am using Excel 2010 to open the perspective. When I check the Pivot Tbale Field List (window at the right), I can see all my tables, columns and mesaures that I selected
    for my perspective by scrolling in hte Field List. However when I click the drop down which says (Show fields related to:) I can see only 3 to 4 Dimension tables and some of the measures that I selected. I don't see all the tables in that perspective. When
    I open the perspective which contains the entire cube, I can see all tables, columns and measures in the drop down list, however with perspective it only shows certain table.
    Does anyone why this behaviour in Excel. I tried opening in Excel 2013 but got same result.
    Any help in solving this matter would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Deepak Gada

    Hi,
    In tabular projects there is no property like "NameColumn" to change the display labels. What I would suggest is to create a calculated column in tabular project by using CONCATENATE() function available in DAX. As an example;
    Account Names:= CONCATENATE([Account Name] + " - ", [Account ID])
    Following is the link to CONCATENATE DAX function.

  • Excel 2010 Synchronize List with SharePoint List using VBA

    I have used and loved the interaction between Excel and SharePoint for many generations of both solutions.  It's a wonderful opportunity to integrate the familiarity and simplicity of Excel (formatting, ease of use, availability) with the data storage
    and centralized list capabilities of SharePoint.  Right?
    When upgrading to Excel 2010, I have noticed with much dismay that much of the inherent easy to use features of previous versions were effectively stripped from this newest version.  Much research, time and energy has been spent working around and resolving
    the deficiency.  One Microsoft based article,
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930006, has provided the mechanics behind utilizing the "hidden" functionality... although, this capability to use VBA to create the synchronized list was available in previous versions.  However, once Microsoft
    published this article to this "hidden" functionality... I feel that the behavior should be supported by Microsoft in some way.  OK?
    Revised instructions to reproduce the problem:
    1. Create a SharePoint list with 20 dummy records.
    - Note the List Name  ##LIST_NAME##
    - Note the View GUID  ##VIEW_GUID##
    - Note SharePoint Base URL  ##BASE_URL##
    2. REVISED... In Excel 2010, save the file as Compatible "Excel 97-2003 Workbook".  Close the file and reopen.  Create a connected table (ListObject) in Excel using the article above to the SharePoint list.  Use Sample VBA code
    below:
    Sub LinkedSharePointList()    
    ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add SourceType:=xlSrcExternal,_
        Source:=Array(##BASE_URL## & "/_vti_bin", ##LIST_NAME##, _
        ##VIEW_GUID##), LinkSource:=True, Destination:=Range("A1")
    End Sub
    3. OOPS REVISED this item.  The problem is actually with ROW 21... So, update record on row 21... (no matter where the table is located... (if the "Destination" is "A1", then the problem is with ID=20, but if the Table is
    shifted down to say A12, then ID=9 on row 21).  Anyway... make a simple change to that record... and you'll see the ID immediately change.... as if it's a NEW record.  WEIRD!  Note: If the sheet is protected, then an error is displayed
    indicating that a "read-only" record cannot be updated (referring to the ID cell in column A for the current row). 
    4. Now "synchronize" the list with excel.  The former record is still in the list unchanged AND there is a NEW record in the list holding the changes.  There are a number of problems that seem to ONLY occur when something changes to ROW
    21.... Next, try to copy/paste multiple records across multiple rows that intersect with ROW 21.  Yikes!! 
    I look forward to hearing others' experience!
    Thanks!
    Mark

    Here are some things that you can try (change the code, where appropriate):
    Private Sub CreateList()
        Dim folder As folder

  • Excel 2010 changes relative link paths to absolute in files synced with Offline Files in Windows 7

    Hello! I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem: I have a large number of Excel 2010 and 2003 files in a folder on my file server. This whole folder is also synced to my computer using Offline Files in Windows 7. I have a lot of references between
    cells in different Excel files, and all referenced workbooks are physically in the same folder. This all works nicely when I create these files at work - all file paths referenced in the cells are created as relative paths and the documents open correctly.
    This is, I understand, the expected and default behavior when Excel creates links. When I edit these files at home, nothing seems odd until I get back to work and sync these files back to the file server. At this point, I discovered that Excel 2010 has, when
    I saved the files while away from the corporate network, changed /all/ the cell references in any offline-edited Excel files to point at absolute paths, and that these absolute paths point to somewhere in my %APPDATA% structure. So whenever I come to work
    and I try to open an Excel file that I have recently worked with offline, I get a bunch of error messages about referenced files that are missing, although clearly they exist in the same folder as the file I've opened, and I must edit all the file references
    again, whereupon they are again created correctly as relative paths (since all files exist in the same folder), which are promptly mangled into absolute C:\....\Offline Files\.....\..... paths whenever I save them at home (and since that works too, I don't
    notice it again until I come back to work and the offline files are synced back to the real network location). This seems to be a case of Windows 7's Offline Files not being able to fool Excel 2010 into believing it is working on a file server - apparently
    Excel 2010 can see through the fakery and decides on it's own to "fix" the problem (which obviously isn't a problem since the paths are relative to begin with) by saving the paths as absolute paths instead. Yes, really clever, Excel. The exepected behavior
    according to MSKB is that links are created as relative paths, so why does it change to absolute whenever Offline Files are involved? I know Offline Files only syncs, it doesn't actually change the files, so I can conclude that Excel is the program at fault
    here. Is there a fix for this, or a known workaround? Because frankly, this bug makes it impossible for me to work in any advanced manner with linked Excel files. The sad thing is that this worked perfectly fine with Office 2003 and Windows XP. Is there a
    patch for this problem that I might have missed (I am running the latest Service Pack and I get Office updates from Microsoft Update). If not, is there a workaround I can use to prevent Excel from corrupting my links when I edit the files offline?

  • Smartview 11.1.2.1.0/Excel 2010

    I am using Smartview version 11.1.2.1.0 and am having issues trying to access Essbase in Excel 2010. If I try to access member selections from my Smartview menu Excel 2010 just freezes. If I try to just type in the member selections and refresh I will get #NoAccess for my results but I am connected if I look at the sheet information.
    Thanks for any help you can offer

    Thanks for the information, but one last question. Where could I find more information about this Unpublished Bug 9955285?, I am trying to look for more information about if it's going to be fix in any patch but I don't find anything
    Thanks a lot

  • Windows 7 - Open Excel 2010 in separate window

    Setup:
    Windows 7 Ent.
    2 monitors in extended desktop mode
    Office 2010
    Opening Excel Files from multiple sources (Outlook 2010, Desktop, OneNote 2010, etc.)
    New laptop with 12GB of RAM
    i7 Quad Proc.
    Problem:
    By default, all of my Excel books open in the same window of Excel.  I open lots of sheets that need visual side-by-side comparison.  I want every every Excel book I open to have its own Excel window.  It doesn't necessarily need to be it's
    own running instance of the binary, but it's own separate window that I can minimize, maximize, resize, or close independently of the other Excel windows.
    I've tried the registry fixes for DDE.  I've tried the "Ignore other applications with DDE" option in Excel.  Both of those solutions give the desired multi-window result, but both break my ability to open spread sheets from OneNote and
    Outlook.  The error for OneNote is "OneNote has encountered a problem and cannot complete this operation", when I double click an embedded Excel file.
    Question:
    Is it possible to get Excel to open a new window for each file without disabling DDE or breaking my ability to open embeddede spreadsheets from other applications like Outlook and OneNote?  The "Put Excel into windowed mode and drag it across multiple
    monitors" work around is not feasible since I run two different sized monitors.

    Not necessarily an ideal solution, but the only way I've found with Excel 2010 is to open a second instance of Excel, which will then allow you to move it to the second screen and either open your spreadsheets from there, or drop and drop them into
    the required copy of Excel from Outlook/OneNote. Annoyingly with Excel 2010 by default it only opens one instance of Excel and then all workbooks you open after then are opened within that same instance, but if you select Excel from the start menu it will
    open a second (or third, or forth etc) instance which can be moved and handled independently.
    The other option would be to upgrade to Excel 2013 since that doesn't have that limitation, but that may be an expensive way around the issue!

  • "Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

    We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
    after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
    Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
    If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
    Window 7 64-bit
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
    Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
    error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
    Hope it's helpful.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

    I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
    The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
    However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
    We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
    We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
    So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

    This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
    I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
    And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
    What other layout programs can I use?
    Thank you so much!
