Excel 2010 Crashing on .xlsm enabled workbook

Hi,
I have a workbook that I had been using for over a year with a very simple formatting macro in it.  As of about two weeks ago, adding new data to the spreadsheet causes Excel to crash, rendering the workbook as corrupt.  I have started fresh with
a new workbook and re-recorded the macro at least a dozen times, and it will run once - maybe twice - and then, when new data is put into the workbook, it crashes.  The weird thing is, I have anothe workbook that also has a simple formatting macro
in it and that one runs fine.  Both worksheets get the data from the same source, which is copied and pasted into the workbook with the macro.
Any ideas?????
Thanks!
Nancy

Hi,
Have you tried some general steps to troubleshoot this issue? For example, Repair Office. If not, please try this KB and check if they are helpful:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us
If this issue still exists, we need to collect the event log to do further troubleshoot.
Steps: Open Event Viewer to check whether there's any error about the Excel/Word crash issue.
Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter. In the Event Viewer, browse to Windows Logs -> Application, there may be some errors after the crash.
To protect your privacy, you may send the error logs to
[email protected], we will try to find the cause.

  • Excel 2010 crash Terminalserver

    Hi all,
    i have trouble with Excel 2010 that it crash and kill the terminalserver where it is running.
    My enviroment:
    Terminal server: VM WinServer 2008R2 with Citrix XenApp 6.5 and Office 2010 ( STD and or PRO )
    Citrix Provisioning: VM WinServer 2008R2 with Citrix Provisioning services 6.1
    ESX Server: ESX 5.1
    Fileserver 1: VM WinServer 2008R2
    Fileserver 2: VM WinServer 2012R2
    My Problem:
    I logon to the terminalserver and open a *.xls file from a share on the file server 2. First problem is that it takes
    longer to open the file than to open it from file server 1. ( yes it is the same file with the same NTFS permission, because the two servers are in sync via DFSR )
    Second problem is, that when i open that *.xls file, it can happen that the terminal server freeze. Only option than is to do a reset on the vm to reboot it.
    Problem 1 and 2 will not occure when i open the file from file server 1, or when i save the same file as *.xlsx and open it than. Or when the file will be opend from the local drive on the terminal server.
    Thanks for any help or idea.

    Hi,
    This may be caused by some add-ins in Excel, please start Excel in Safe Mode:
    Press Win + R, type "excel.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    When Excel starts in Safe Mode, go to FILE -> Open, browse to the file location and try to open it, check if the issue persists.
    If the issue doesn't occur then, please go to FILE -> Options -> Add-Ins to disable the suspicious add-ins and verify which one caused the problem.
    If Excel still crashes, please try to collect the Event Logs from the Event Viewer:
    Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter. in Event Viewer, expand Windows Logs -> Application and see if there's any error about the Excel crash issue, we may find useful information to find the cause.

  • Calling DDE from Excel 2010 crashing on Win 8.1 VM

    Trying to use DDE to connect Excel to an external application (Vensim DSS) on a windows 8.1 virtual machine (VM) which seems to hang Excel (specifically when you call DDEInitiate). I have no problems with the same VBA script (code reproduced below if needed)
    on a standard PC with windows 8.1 and Vensim DSS. Also a previous incarnation with windows 7 VM and Vensim worked with no problem. Does anybody have ideas what is different on a win 8.1 VM or some process that I need to ensure is running on the VM for DDE
    to work?
    I have tried with Excel 2003, Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 and all experience the same issue of hanging when calling the DDEInitiate function. 
    Many thanks in advance,
    Dave
    Option Explicit
    Dim DDE_channel As Integer
    Function StartupDDE() As Boolean
        Dim blnIsRunning As Boolean
        On Error GoTo Err_Handler
        blnIsRunning = VensimRunningCheck
        'Check to see if Channel Number has already been assigned
        If Not DDE_channel > 0 Or blnIsRunning = False Then
            'Channel not assigned - check to see if Vensim running

        End If
        StartupDDE = True
        Exit Function
    Err_Handler:

    End Function

    Hi,
    As far as I know, the DDE is a very old technology, I recommend we try to use the Access object model instead of DDE.

    If you have any further question about debugging code, I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Excel

  • 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.

  • OpenXML Excel file, works in Excel 2007, OpenOffice, etc but not in Excel 2010

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem.  I host a free website, sharing source code and ideas with other developers.  One of my projects is a very simple C# class, which generates an Excel 2007 .xlsx file.  All source code is provided, along with a demo showing
    how to use it, free of charge.  No registration required.
    http://www.mikesknowledgebase.com/pages/CSharp/ExportToExcel.htm
    The .xlsx files that this class generates are fine, they open in Excel 2007 & OpenOffice, I've run the OpenXmlValidator
    on the files, and there are no reported problems.
    However, If I open the file in Excel 2010 (with SP1), it opens, but if I go to the Print or Print Preview screen, Excel 2010 crashes.  
    Googling around, I've found that many many users have experienced problems with HP print drivers, I followed some suggestions, such as turning off multi-threading in Excel, but it makes no difference.  I tried setting the default printer as
    the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer", but it made no difference.
    Here is a copy of the Excel file that my demo produces (and which crashes Excel 2010).   Can someone tell me why it opens okay, but then crashes Excel 2010 ?  
    http://www.MikesKnowledgeBase.com/SampleCode/Sample.xlsx
    I can get around the problem by loading this file in Excel 2010, saving it as an ".xls" file (!!) and re-loading that... but it kinda defeats the purpose.
    And, more generally, why does Excel 2007, OpenOffice and the OpenXmlValidator consider it to be in the correct format, but it crashes Excel 2010 ?  I'm surprised that Excel 2010 doesn't at least attempt to report some kind of problem with the Excel
    file, rather than bombing out.

    It seems Workbook.XML doesn't have all the information needed by Excel for pagination while prepare for print.
    Using your sample code, here is the XML generated for Workbook.XML part within Open XML package :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <x:workbook xmlns:x="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main">
      <x:sheets>
        <x:sheet name="Drivers" sheetId="1" r:id="rId1" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" />
        <x:sheet name="Vehicles" sheetId="2" r:id="rId2" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" />
        <x:sheet name="Vehicle owners" sheetId="3" r:id="rId3" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" />
      </x:sheets>
    </x:workbook>
    Replace above content with below XML and print should work fine:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <workbook xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships">
      <fileVersion appName="xl" lastEdited="5" lowestEdited="5" rupBuild="9303"/>
      <workbookPr defaultThemeVersion="124226"/>
      <bookViews>
        <workbookView xWindow="510" yWindow="510" windowWidth="4455" windowHeight="2520"/>
      </bookViews>
      <sheets>
        <sheet name="Drivers" sheetId="1" r:id="rId1"/>
        <sheet name="Vehicles" sheetId="2" r:id="rId2"/>
        <sheet name="Vehicle owners" sheetId="3" r:id="rId3"/>
      </sheets>
      <calcPr calcId="0"/>
    </workbook>
    The change is not with data but few elements which define the view for Excel. The required code change can be found using Open XML SDK tool code-reflect.

  • Excel 2010 Powerpivot workbook constanly crashing when editting pivot tables

    I have a quite large powerpivot work book that I store on dropbox.   If I want to add the same field twice I go tot  the normal pivot table field list and drop the field into the pivot table again.  This used to be fine.  I could
    then make it show the difference form previous period or similar.   Recently after doing a couple of these or changing the number format excel just crashes.   I have tried rewinding my workbook version back to older versions and still the
    same issue.  
    I tried just taking a simple single sheet of data and creating a new powerpivot model. i then dropped a couple of measures on to the pivot table and then the same measures again form the regular pivot table field list. I then tried to change on of these
    to show values as % column total and crashed. so the problem is excel not my workbook.
    I have run the repair through control panel and run sfc /scannow but problem persists. In event viewer the error shows as

    Hi,
    We can find the dump file after Excel crashed again. Please see the following steps:
    First enable app crash dump collection by copying following words into notepad, saving it as dump.reg and importing
    it:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\localdumps\EXCEL.EXE]
    "DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,63,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,64,00,75,\
      00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00
    "DumpCount"=dword:00000010
    "DumpType"=dword:00000001
    "CustomDumpFlags"=dword:00000000
    Then, open Excel
    to repro the issue. If crash issue appeared, please find the crashdump file under c:\.
    To further help you, please upload this file into Skydrive and shared the link here.
    Also, you can try to analyze dump by yourself if you would like to：

  • Excel 2010 workbook crashing Excel 2013

    We have someone who created a workbook in Excel 2010 and when we open it in Excel 2013 it will crash. You can open the doc and look at it, but once you start trying to do anything in it, after a random time period, it will crash. Also if you try to resave
    the document it will crash every time, no matter how long you've been in the doc.
    Is there any way we can track down what in the doc might be causing this? I've tried it on several different systems with excel 2013, a few of which have SP1 installed already and it does the same thing. Any suggestions?

    Hi Jcasteel,
    Could you please give us more information about this workbook?
    Any Macros or formulas in this file? Does this file have any links to other files? Try to move VBA code or links manually to narrow down this issue(You can change this workbook in excel 2010). If it contains multiple worksheets ,open them separately
    to address this issue.
    In addition, have you ever try the general methods? e.g.
    1.Open the workbook using the 'open and repair' feature(Start Excel->On the File menu-> click Open->In the Open dialog box, select the file that you want to open->Click the arrow on the Open button, and then click Open and Repair )
    2.Start excel in Safe Mode(Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the name of the Microsoft Office program that you want to run)
    Also if it is convenient for you, you can share your workbook with us .

  • Can I programmatically force saving an XLTM template to save as an XLSM file in Excel 2010 without defaulting all Excel file types?

    I created an Excel template which includes VB and macros as an EXCEL.XLTM template file (I used a template file to keep users from overwriting the sample template file), but I have noticed that when users save the template, Excel 2010 defaults to saving
    the new file as a XLSX file (removing all the macros).
    I know you can set Excel 2010 to always save as a certain format, but I really would prefer not forcing all Excel files to be macro enabled for the user
    Is there a way to default the Save type to XLSM for this template only?  Like some code that I could put in that when the users saves, it saves as a macro enabled XLSM type only for this template file?
    My users aren't exactly Excel savvy, so I wanted to make it as simple as possible for them.
    Thanks!
    Alan Edwards

    Hi Alan,
    >> Is there a way to default the Save type to XLSM for this template only?  Like some code that I could put in that when the users saves, it saves as a macro enabled XLSM type only for this template file?
    In my option, you could achieve this by adding Application.GetSaveAsFilename Method to the workbook BeforeSave event. Some key code like below:
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim FileNameVal As String
    If SaveAsUI Then
    FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
    Cancel = True
    If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
    Exit Sub
    End If
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
    End Sub
    But there is a limitation of this workaround, in this workaround, the save as will only support the macro enabled type, other save as types like "xlsx" will be ignored.​
    For more information about Application.GetSaveAsFilename Method (Excel), you could turn to the link below:
    #Application.GetSaveAsFilename Method (Excel)

  • How to open excel files from email in macro enabled workbooks NOT 2003-2007 worksheets?

    I have recently installed Office 365 and it was working great. I needed to open excel documents via email with the macro enabled option. Yesterday it flicked back to only giving me the option to open in 2003-2007 workbook so now I am having issues with the
    macros. I am contracting and trying to get work out and this has now caused huge problems.
    Am thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling. I did have older versions of ms office so maybe there is some residual content there to remove? I have tried to change the associations and protocols to open in excel macro enabled workbooks but these tick boxes
    are greyed out and I do not know how to gain access to these. Have been hunting all through my computer system but do not know how to do this. Am no expert. 
    If someone could help I would really appreciate it otherwise will need to find some computer shop expert I suppose...urgently ha.
    Thanks in advance

    it's sound like excel 13 disable the macros, turn on it will fix your issue.

    ps: use the local admin to change the setting, the reason why the setting grey out.

  • Excel 2010 file opens in Microsfot Office Workbook 97 only on one machine

    We have a shared Excel 2010 file that 4 people use. For the 3 users it opens in Excel 2010 but for the 4th user it opens in Microsoft Office Workbook 97. Why does it not open in Excel 2010 like it does for the rest? How do I get it to open correctly for
    the 4th person?

    Sorry for this qestion. Does this person has Office 2010 installed? If so, clik right button on this file and "choose open with" -> "choose default program", there choose office 2010 and then mark checkbox at the bottom.

  • Excel 2010 analyzing in another workbook using PowerPivot. Update in the source workbook (insert a new column) doesn't show

    Excel 2010 workbook (A).
    Analyzing in another workbook (B) using PowerPivot.
    After a column insert in the source workbook (A) that update is not shown in the updated table in workbook (B)
    I can however have an updated table in (B) if I define a new connection. But that is in another tab then.
    So How to update the  data that is input to the pivot tables using the "old" connection (connection to A)

     Linked tables must reference Excel
    data found in a separate Excel window within
    the same PowerPivot workbook.
