Excel 2010 Strange Behavior

One of our users is having trouble with Excel 2010. When she makes changes to a spread sheet that is used to track engineering project she often finds that entire rows in the spread sheet have been duplicated the next time she opens the spread sheet. We
just confirmed this is happening while I looked over her should. I asked her to correct the spread sheet, then save and close it then re-open it. When she re-opened the spread sheet we found a couple of rows that were again duplicated. She has also found that
is some cases an entire row is missing and had to be re-entered. She has also had issues of cells taking on a different format such as cells formatted for dates taking on currency format. She is the only person who seems to be having this issue with this or
any other spread sheet. So far she thinks she is only seeing this behavior with the one spread sheet yet other people update and make changes to this same spread sheet without any of the issues she is having. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Switch Linked (xl source) Tables - behavior change Excel 2010 PP vs. Excel 2013 PP -- In 2013 all calcs of table are lost

    Situation:
    PowerPivot 2010 Model based on 10 linked tables (this tables are generated and refreshed as needed by SQL 2012 MDS Excel-AddIn)
    Unfortunately Excel MDS AddIn changes sometimes the tablename (case: MDS Add-In Filter changed, MDS Server changed). So after Change of tablename we have to fix the powerpivot link to this Excel tables in powerpivot to get powerpivot refresh working again
    Problem:
    With Excel 2010 PowerPivot this was possible without big Problems. As Long as table has identical structure one can Change/Switch the table in powerpivot Windows > Ribbon "Linked" Table > DropDown "Linked Table X" or during update
    via Dialog "Errors in Linked Table"
    After upgrading the solution to Excel 2013 this is not possible any more without loosing any column- or measure calcs defined for this table! :( Every time you Change the assigned Excel table for an existing linked powerpivot table..you
    get following Dialog:
    "You are changing the source of X to Excel table Y. Changing the source will remove all formatting, measures, KPIs, hierarchies, and other Settings applied to the table. Are you sure you want to to continute?"
    Does anyone found a Workaround for persisting existing calc of linked tables when changing the sourcetable (to another Excel table with same structure)??
    Dear MS, this is IMHO really a step backwards and blocks the migration of our existing Excel 2010 PowerPivot Solution? Should i create a connect entry for that?!
    Version-Info:
    2010 Version: 11.0.3000.0 (PP Ribbon>Settings)
    2013 Version: 11.0.2809.81 (Product version displayed for dll c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Addins\PowerPivot excel Add-In\PowerPivotExcelClientAddIn.dll)

    There is a very similar issue discussed here where i tried to show the different behavior in terms of linked tables in Excel/PowerPivot 2010 vs 2013
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8fd927f7-30fd-49b7-809c-cb1414955638/linked-tables-excel-2013-vs-2010-difference?forum=sqlkjpowerpivotforexcel
    maybe it helps you to understand the issue
    I assume that MDS creates a new table every time you refresh it thereby breaking the link to PowerPivot
    in case you only have calculated measure you may created a separate, independent linked table and define all calculated measures there
    this way they at least would not get removed

  • Macro in Excel 2010 running 10 times slower

    I wonder if anyone here could help or explain a strange behavior in Excel 2010! I believe it is a bug in Excel.
    In one of my workbooks I had some macros which after running for a while started to slow down (several times slower)!
    To make a long story short I striped down the Excel workbook and created 2 really simple workbooks: one runs a macro in 0.25 sec, and a second one that runs the same macro in 3.3 sec. Both have identical macros and identical formulas in Sheet1 (only one
    Sheet in each workbook).
    Moreover, the "Good copy" workbook slows down if the "Bad copy" is opened. Once the "Bad copy" is closed the "Good copy" gets back to speed.
    If the Calculation is set to manual then both are running fast (this points to a workbook re-calculation delay).
    If in the "Bad copy" I delete the three columns with formulas and I recreate them in new columns, then the "Bad copy" gets back to running fast again.
    It seems that Excel will compute only the required cells when a cell changes, which makes sense.
    However, in the "Bad copy" those three columns must have something that triggers a new calculation of that workbook every time the VB writes to a workbook even if the macro runs on another workbook! This is very strange to me!
    These simplified workbooks contain only one trivial macro (I made them just to isolate the issue):
    Sub simple_macro()
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        Dim starttime, taken
        starttime = Timer
        For i = 1 To 500
        Cells(1, 5).Value = i
        Next i
        taken = Round(Timer - starttime, 2)
        Cells(2, 5).Value = taken
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub
    I do not think you can recreate easily the problem starting with a new workbook, so I wish there would be a way to post here the two copies! I was hoping that someone from Microsoft would take a look at the "Bad copy", because this behavior can
    slow down anyone's macro without even knowing it! I think I have other workbooks with the same issue.
    Thanks for any comments anyone might have!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • Move a Excel 2010 Dokument Addin Project (Visual Studio 2012) to another devleopment machine with Visual Studio 2012 , but Office 2013

    Hi 
    we do have the following situation
    on computer A there is a Excel Document Addin development project , Visual Studio 2012, Office 2010 installed. All works fine.
    we would like to bring the project to another machine with Visual Studio 2012, but Office 2013 installed.
    Visual Studio can not build the project. It says that the application is not installed on the machine (though Excel 2013 is installed , but not Excel 2010) It seems to have a problem with the
    vbproj. 
    In other forums I found a hint that "Hostpackage = ..} needs to be set accordingly in the vbproj. I created then a "empty Excel-Addin project" under Visual Studio , looked at
    the Hostpackage entry, put that into the vbproj of "problem project. It still does not work.
    It would be great if anyone could help.
    Thomas

    Hello Eugene
    Problem is that it says that projectboard (the name of the main project) can not be loaded. All other projects in the solution can be loaded. Strange thing is , now that I try to create a empty excel Project it says that according to Excel security settings
    it can not be generated !? 
    I opened then Excel and set all Trust Center settings to "Default" - but no effect. I really have no idea what is wrong ..!?

  • 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?

    Hello danceswithwindows,
    Thank you for your post.

    Hello. I have a report which exports to MS Excel 2010. I applied the page size as legal in Crystal Report and would like to use the same page size in Excel
    However, MS Excel print preview says the page size is letter.
    How could I keep the same page size in Excel as I applied in Crystal Report. We have a lot of business reports and would like to avoid applying page setting manually in Excel when users print them out each time.
    Thank you.

    Hi Christine
    I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
    Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
    Can you  please let me know the version of CR you are using?
    You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
    BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

  • 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.

  • Excel 2010 Dialog Boxes Hidden behind Application causing application freezing

    Recently upgraded to Office 2010 (32bit) /Windows 7.  Have hundreds of users that we support and so far most have upgraded.  Noticed with some users though - not all - just a small percentage, when they click SaveAs in Excel 2010, the application
    freezes.  On closer scrutiny we realized what was happening was the SaveAs dialog box was BEHIND the main Excel window.  The only way to restore it is to click on the tab from the Taskbar or minimize all the windows to FIND the SaveAs Dialog box. 
    Understandably this is causing these users stress and inconvenience.  It is very unproductive and a nuisance to say the least.  The only other variable here is that all these users have multiple monitors, usually 2-4.  But for some, this happens
    in their main monitor and/or the monitor that Excel is opened in and which has the focus.  Even more strange is that this does not occur to everyone, just a handful of users so far who have reported the issue.  We have also noted it happens
    with other dialog boxes as well, not just the SaveAs so it seems generic in that sense.
    The other item with this issue is that it's not persistent.  Users have reported it's sporadic and comes and goes.
    Is this a bug? 
    Any feedback greatly appreciated.

  • Excel 2010 - Hidden Dialogue Boxes

    Has anyone seen this before?
    User creates a workbook in Excel 2010.
    User clicks File | Save & Send | Send as Attachment.
    User successfully emails the saved workbook to somebody.
    From that point on, for that instance of Excel, dialogue boxes, prompts, warnings, etc., are hidden (e.g., File | Save As whether by menu or hitting F12, File | Open whether by menu or hitting CTL-O, or the user attempts to close out of it but Excel is
    still prompting the user to save or not, etc.)  Because all these things have lost focus and are behind the Excel instance, the user assumes Excel has frozen, goes into Task Manager, kills the Excel process, curses under his breath about IT, etc.
    We are currently running:
    Windows 7 Ent, SP1, x64.
    Office 2010 Pro Plus, x86 - specifically Excel 2010 (the above for example, does NOT happen on Word 2010).
    We successfully reproduce this problem each time using the above sequence.  We are on the latest SPs, updates, hotfixes, for everything via WSUS.
    We also disabled/removed any Add-ins and that did not make a difference.
    For kicks while the above probably would've accomplished the same, we tried the above in Excel safe-mode and again, if you follow the above sequence, it keeps occuring.
    Help?
    Thanks!

    Oskar:
    Thank you for the suggestion. I tried and thought it worked. There is one wrinkle that we didn't realize.
    If we Save & Send, while Outlook is closed, the system will allow Outlook to have a new message created and allow us to send the email.  However once the send is complete, the Outlook process exits.  When we try to do something in Excel everything
    is FINE.
    However, if Outlook is open and we repeat the process in Excel, then Excel exhibits the same behavior where after the message is sent, that particular instance will have all future windows, warnings, pop-ups, etc., remain hidden and out of focus.
    Help?

  • Excel 2010 Row numbers disappearing

    Question: Bit of an odd one here.
    Running Excel 2010 on a WinXP Sp3 box. Issue is only affecting one user and one of his spreadsheets. Sporatically, the actual numbers within the row identifier boxes vanishes, along with the data in the affected rows. The rows are still there, and the rows
    above and below are still numbered in the same sequencial order as if the affected rows were still numbered. If we do not notice this before saving spreadsheet, data is lost. If we unhide all cells, the numbers come back, as does the data. The odd thing is,
    as I said, the rows are NOT actually hidden, only the row identifier numbers and the data are gone.
    Please help! Critical order tracking sheet.

    Using  Windows 7 Professional ver 6.1 (Build 7601 : Service Pack 1) and Excel version 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bit)
    A large spreadsheet some 8MB and formatted as an xls file.
    I experienced a similar problem  with some  row  numbers and data missing together with some rows being expanded to a height of  550 pixels.
    Highlighting the whole row and automatically resetting the height (double clicking bottom edge ) sometimes resets the height, row numbers and data.
    Strangely highlighting the row and clicking the bold button also resets the the height, row numbers and data.
    Unfortunately these remedy’s do not persist after saving the file and reopening it.
    If I resave the "corrupted" xls version  as a Macro-Enabled Worksheet .xlsm file all of the issues above disappear.
    I hope this helps some one

  • Excel 2010 not gaining focus correctly

    I am seeing this on my own workstation, but I'm being asked about it by more and more clients lately - Excel 2010 seems to have odd focus issues. For example:
    a) When opening an Excel spreadsheet from Windows Explorer, Excel opens, appears to have focus and does correctly open on top of other open windows, displays the file and I can edit cells, but I cannot click anything in the Ribbon bar or menus. In order
    to gain access to menu items I first have to lose focus (by clicking to another open application, the Task Bar or Desktop - anything that takes focus away from Excel) and then click back into Excel, whereupon the menu items now work correctly.
    b) If Excel is already open and I open another Excel file from Windows Explorer, the new window isn't brought forward - it remains behind the previously open spreadsheet. In addition, Excel isn't given focus at all in this situation - it is retained by Windows
    Explorer (which may or may not be open on the same screen as Excel, although it's more obvious if they overlap as Excel clearly remains behind the Explorer window). Additionally, if all existing spreadsheets are closed but Excel remains open and I open a spreadsheet
    from Explorer, the same behaviour occurs (ie Excel fails to gain focus and it is retained by Explorer).
    My personal workstation is running Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 (this behaviour was evident before SP1's release) and Excel 2010 version 14.0.4760.1000 (32-bit). I have seen it occuring on other PCs using both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Pro and Excel
    2010 (all 32-bit). While the workaround is relatively simple, it's still frustrating (and more than a little confusing for many non-technical people - one of my clients has been frustrated by this for weeks before I discovered she was experiencing the issue).
    I find it a little strange that I have been unable to find references to this problem anywhere (and I've been looking on-and-off for several months now). Maybe I'm just looking for the wrong things... Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm really not sure about the ethics of people being able to mark their own replies as accepted answers on here...
    Jennifer, thank you for attempting to assist with this problem. Unfortunately your suggestion doesn't alleviate the issue.
    As I thought I made clear in my first post, this issue is being seen when opening Excel spreadsheets directly from Explorer (or a desktop shortcut or similar, which is just an Explorer instance anyway) - it doesn't occur if you open files from within Excel.
    Therefore, opening Excel in Safe Mode has no effect - you can open one instance of Excel in safe mode, but when you open another Excel file from outside Excel, of course it opens another instance of Excel in normal mode and the same symptoms are evident.
    However, your suggestion regarding add-ins was a sensible one, so I manually removed the two Adobe Acrobat add-ins that were active on my workstation (the only add-ins installed) but unfortunately that hasn't made any difference. I should also point out
    that these add-ins aren't installed on the other PCs that are experiencing this issue, either, as they are used in wholly different environments.
    I'll be setting up Office 2010 on some new PCs in a couple of days, so I'll do some testing of those to see if I can replicate it on virgin systems.

  • Strange behavior from a PB G4 (Part 2)

    On to my next issue. Often when I'm typing the insertion point will jump to someplace other than where it should be or just disappear all together. I'm not doing anything to cause it to do this. I've been being really carefull to not to do anything wrong. I'ts often enough to be a real nuisance. It happened 7 times during my first post (Strange behavior from a PB G4) and 3 times during this one. Please help. Thanks.

    Did you use the iFixit website? It has excellent pictures and instructions that are easy to follow.
    Replacing any hard disk drive will be challenging for a paraplegic, but with someone's help it can be done fairly inexpensively. There are many tiny fasteners that require tiny tools. Use an egg carton to store them, separated by their location in the PowerBook.
    Earlier PowerBooks are easier to work on than later ones.
    I still use a PowerBook G4 on occasion, mostly for importing video for editing in iMovie. I upgraded its original 60 GB HD to a much larger one. If you were to do this you would need to locate the PowerBook's original System Install DVD to install and subsequently update OS X and all its original programs.
    If you ensure at least a few gigabytes free space, I think most of your problems will be fixed. When free disk space gets down to a few hundred megabytes or less, performance will suffer dramatically. You don't want it to ever get anywhere near that low. Strange things start to happen.
    Keep the number of icons on the Desktop to a minimum also. That makes a difference, for reasons that I do not fully understand.
