Excel 2010 no longer a save option

All my excel 2010 files have been converted to Excel Workbook and open as gibberish in a "Notebook" format. Also, the "Save" function no longer works as Excel 2010. I can only save as Excel Workbook as a default, or Excel 97-2003. I
have a license for Excel 2010 and it has worked fine for over 3 or 4 years, but today it stopped.  Is there a fix?

  • MS Excel 2010 takes long to open with Hyperion Smartview 11

    Hi,
    the MS Excel 2010 takes about 20 sec to open a blank sheet when is with a user without Internet access. It is automatically open with Internet access. This behaviour started after the installation of Hyperion Smartview. 
    Can you help?
    Ant K.

    I've never worked with Hyperion Smart view.
    But it sounds like the program configured to access the internet and perform an operation, such as check for updates for that program. Since we know this issue may caused by the Hyperion Smart view. If it is an add-in for office, we can try
    to disable it to check if excel can open blank worksheet normally, meanwhile, if you want to use this tool, you can enable it. File->options->add-in 

  • DDE link between MT4 & Excel 2010 no longer works on Windows 8.1 64bit

    I have a DDE link between EXCEL 2010 & Metatrader (MT4)  that has worked flawlessly up until yesterday. Now the spreadsheet just hangs when
    i attempt to update.
    I had not changed anything on my machine prior to the problem, but have since repaired then reinstalled Office and reinstalled MT4 but the problem persists.
    The link still works fine on my Windows 7 64bit PC with the same version of Excel and MT4, so the problem is not at the server end. I have even taken the EXCEL file from the WIN8 machine and it works fine on the Win7 machine
    MT4 is installed in C:/ as the link did not work previously when installed in program files
    Help!

    P.S.  If Excel file was created on an older version of Excel, it should be converted to 2010 format, and the inputs are a little different.
    Example:
    Instead of  =MT4|ASK!EURUSD
    it's now       ='MT4'|ASK!EURUSD

  • Photoshop CS3 no longer have save options

    For some reason, when I try to save my files as some kinds of file types like JPEG or things, the option to is no longer there. It only gives me
    Photoshop
    Cineon
    Large Document Format
    Photoshop PDF
    Photoshop Raw
    PNG
    TIFF
    I cannot save in JPEG, GIF, TGA, or any of those other file types I may have missed. I really need help here, I looked all over the help in photoshop and this website and nothing knows what happened.
    Oh yeah, the save as... window look also changed for some reason.
    Be aware I've been using CS3 for several months now, and it's never done this to me before. This is like, brand new, as of today.

    I thought 16 bit was capable of being JPEG? Guess not, changed it to 8 and there it was...
    Oh well...
    But that still don't explain why my save as... window changed looks overnight.

  • How to make Excel 2010 save a HTML report as a file without a folder created

    We have a HTML report generated by Oracle Report with headers as below:
    <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
    xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
    xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
    In Excel 2010, after pressing the "save" button (not "save as"), it will by default save the report as web page format instead of xls, a folder "xxx.files" containing some css, xml and html files are created
    in it. If user deletes the folder carelessly, the excel report cannot be viewed at all.
    In Excel 2003, we can save it directly in its original format simply by pressing the "save" button, without creating a folder. May I know if there are any options in office 2010, macro or registries settings that can make
    Excel 2010 to do the same as Excel 2003 when pressing the "save" button? Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want a workaround to avoid creating a new folder when saving a html file in Excel 2010.
    In my opinion, this issue is more related to the feature of HTML format or Excel 2010 application rather and I don't think we could resort to a macro or registry settings to avoid that. I suggest you posting it in
    Excel IT pro forum for more effective responses.

  • Excel 2010 "Save As" happens twice

    In Excel 2010, whenever I choose "Save As", it starts normally and performs the requested change. However, it then repeats itself as if I performed the "Save As" a second time. This does not happen in the other Office 2010 Pro Plus components.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Per your post, do you mean that this repeat bahavior only happens when we click the "File" > "Save As" at the second time?
    Try to launch Excel in safe mode. (Type "Excel.exe /safe" in Windows Search bar and press Enter), if the behavior would not appear anymore, please go to File > Options > Add-ins > Go and disable the suspecious add-ins to solve it.
    Repaire Office suit from Control Panel if the issue still persists.

  • 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 multiple Sorting in same sheet issue

    Dear all,
    In the same sheet, the data is split into different groups by inserting rows.
    In Excel 2003:
    We select the rows of the group and choose sorting columns, for example, column "M" & column "J".
    Then, we select another group by rows, the sorting option is kept.
    In Excel 2010:
    We select the rows of the group and choose sorting columns, for example, column "M" & column "J".
    Then, we select another group by rows, the sorting option is empty!
    Further testing on different groups sorting, we found that Excel 2010 only keep the sorting options of the group which is doing the last sorting setting.
    Is there any method to set the Excecl 2010 to work similar to excel 2003 on the Sorting option keeping?
    Ivan

    Hi,
    From your
    description, I tested in my environment by using Excel 2010 with the following steps:
    Create a data source and add two groups by rows (Named Group A and Group B)
    Select Group A to add sort condition for the column "A" & column "B"
    Select Group B to add the sort condition for the column "A" & column "B"
    When I select Group A again, the sorting option was empty. Then, I
    formatted the Group A and Group B as table and repeat the above steps, sorting option was kept.
    Thus, I suppose that we sort with the group similar table in Excel 2003, the sort condition was not be inherited among the different group. There are some changes between Excel 2003 and Excel 2010.
    I think
    formatted the Group as a table is a workaround.
    I'll submit it to Office Dev team and we have definitely heard your frustration, we're thinking about ways to make this scenario work better for our customers. Unfortunately, I can't make promises or give specific details on our future
    plans.
    Thanks,

  • 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)

  • Excel 2010 - Can't Save File Becasue It's Opened By Another User

    Hi All,
    I'm using excel 2010, I can create an excel doc, update it, save it on the network, then close it. Then go out of the folder its saved in, go back in and open the file but it flags up as read only as its 'opened by another user'.
    I can confirm 100% that no one else has this file open.
    This affects multiple users, I have a feeling this may be caused by an update but don't have anything solid to back that theory up.
    All users who have this problem are running windows 7 Pro machines, all domain joined.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Please try the following methods:
    Methods1:
    Turn off the Details Pane shown at the bottom of Windows Explorer.  Go to Organize -> Layout -> Details Pane.  That fixes the first problem.
    Turn off “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items”  Click on Tools -> Folder Options.  In the box that opens up, click on the View tab.  Scroll down the list to “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear
    the checkbox and then click OK.  This fixes the second problem.
    Turn off Preview Pane.  Go to Organize -> Layout -> Preview Pane. This fixes number 3. 
    Methods2:
    Add the following registry keys:
    Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{993BE281-6695-4BA5-8A2A-7AACBFAAB69E}
    Name: EnableShareDenyNone
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 1
    Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{993BE281-6695-4BA5-8A2A-7AACBFAAB69E}

    Nothing worked. I can't save my file, and I'm late for a meeting. I want a support person to call me. I shouldn't have to pay to fix your bugs.
    I've used this file for over a month, and it was working fine until today.

    I cannot save, or use excel files, just view them.  I cannot even open up the "file" button in an excel sheet, or use macros or anything that should work.  I shut down my computer this morning, and started it up an hour later, and now the sheet
    won't work.  
    Is this because of an update microsoft just put out?  If so, how can I disable it?

  • 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

  • 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.
