Excel 2013 64 bit on windows 8.1 crashes

Hi All
since al few weeks we are running office 2013 (excel) on windows 8.1 all 64 bit machines.
We are having problems that when opening multiple files excel crashes. randomly
repairing, reinstalling doesnt have any effect.
We are all local users on our machines.
When the programm was running with admin credentials we are having no problems. So the solution is to run the program as administrator. but is this possible to run word, outlook excel etc as an administrator without having the rights as localadmin. We have
used the proces monitor and when we are running the programm as users some files, dll and processes where blocked.
so how can i start al the programs as administrator while we arent local or domain admins.
@update: there are also no plugins or com plugin running
Safe mode doesnt work either
tried it also with uac disabled but still no luck,
The problems are gone when starting as admin (not only checkbox but also full credentials and member of admin group local)

On Excel 2013 (64 bit), I can't use the Analysis ToolPack add-ins without a problem and plot the residuals.

On Excel 2013 (64 bit), I can't use the Analysis ToolPack add-ins without a problem and plot the residuals. It went crash.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Do you mind telling us the Excel version number? Like 15.0.XXXX.1000
Would you like to collect the Event Log and App Crash dump file to do further troubleshooting?
As far as I know, if Excel crashes when using Analysis ToolPack add-ins, it usually causes by the >>Faulting module name: mso.dll<<, Please try the following method and check if it is helpful:
1.Copy/paste the Mso.dll from another PC.
2.Click "Start" and "Computer."
3.Double-click "C: Drive," "Windows" and "System32." The System32 folder opens.
4.Drag the Mso.dll file on your desktop into the System32 folder.
5.Click "Start," type "cmd" into the search field and press "Enter" to open the Command Prompt.
6.Type "regsvr32 mso.dll" (without the quotation marks) into the Command Prompt and press "Enter."
7.Close the Command Prompt and restart your computer.
Then, if the Faulting module name is not MSO.Dll, you also can upload(Or send to us via email
[email protected]) the Event Log/App Crash dump file. We'd like to do further troubleshooting.

I have created a User DSN in Windows called "NITRO Oracle 11gR2 DB" using the Oracle 64 bit instant client driver 11.2.0.1. Configured as so

Connection test is successful.
In Excel 2010, I go to Data ribbon, From Data Connection Wizard

I then choose Other/Advanced, and then Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
http://i.imgur.com/w3P1c.png
I click next and then put in the data source, user name and password and click test, and it fails with Micosoft Data Link Error. http://i.imgur.com/zuv41.png
Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

12154 means the client couldn't resolve what you filled in for Data Source. What did you fill in for Data Source when configuring the OLEDB connection? It looks like "nitro" should be the correct thing to fill in, based on your statement that the ODBC DSN you configured works with it.

Asset Report S_ALR_87011990 Excel 2013 64 Bit issue

Hello Expert,
Some of my users has upgraded MS Office 2013 64 bits version. All SAP reports work fine in ALV grid. Only asset report S_ALR_87011990 show blank values in the output. I checked all possible excel macro settings in excel and they are fine, but still result is same. In cases where user has upgraded MS Office 2013 in 32 bit version there it works fine and no issue.
Any clue what could be the reason 64 bit version is not supported by GUI. I am using GUI 730.
Did anyone faces similar situation. Please share your adopted solution. Thanks in advance!

Hi Yuki,
Excel macro settings is already in place and as I said it works on 32 version, but not on 64 bit version.
Any other clue?

PowerPivot crash Excel 2013 32 bit

Hi,
When trying to connect Oracle DB (11g) on default configuration (just when trying to do test connection), Excel crashes each time.
Power Query connecting well same DB on same server.
From Visual Studio I can connect same DB on same server.
From .NET code connection work well.
Please help!

Hi Vadim,
Power Pivot in Microsoft Excel 2013 doesn’t install the providers for each data source. Some providers might already be installed with other applications on your computer; in other cases, we may need to download and install the provider.
So, please try to install Oracle OLE DB Provider to see if this help. We can get the provider from the link below:

Excel 2013 PowerPivot Error - "PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model"

I'm attempting to use the PowerPivot add-on in Excel. When clicking 'Manage Data Model' or attempting to 'Load to data model,' I receive the error 'We couldn't load the Data Model. This may be because the Data Model in this workbook is damaged.',
followed by 'PowerPivot is unable to load the Data Model.' This happens irrespective of data source type. I have Excel 2013 32-bit, PowerPivot 32-bit, running on Windows 7 OS 64-bit. I am not running an SSAS instance on my machine.
Any suggestions?

Hi

.xlsm File use from Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit to Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit - Component Removed (not API related)

Work Environment: Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit
Home Environment: Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit (1 desktop and 1 laptop)
I am developing an an .xlsm file at work (with Lists and a single form with controls linked to a worksheet ControlSource). It works and saves all day long just fine in my work environment. I save the file to either a USB drive (or DropBox - makes no difference)
and then open the file on my home computer. I can open the file the first time with no problem and with no error messages. But then when I try to save the file Excel 2013 32bit most often tells me that it has removed a component. But it doesn't tell which
component it has removed. After that, if I close the file and try to reopen it, it won't reopen. I get a series of error message: [1] file path errors (error 75) [2] Excel has stopped working errors. [3] Excel hasn't enough memory to complete the operation,
[4] Excel will close. So I click the close button on the last error message and Excel disappears. I say disappears, because its not really gone. Mind you, its not listed in the Task Manager at this point. But, if I then click the Windows Taskbar icon to start
Excel, Excel will sometimes automatically open up with the file that I was trying to open before, already up and running, i.e. I do not select the file to open it - it just appears. Other time Excel just repeats the series of error messages noted above.
The strange part is, once this file has been corrupted, I can still take it back to my work environment, fire it up on my work computer, and it works just fine. No error messages, no saving problems.
I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 (HUP Click to Run) on both my home computers and it makes no difference.
I can say though, this is driving me nuts. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I think I solved the issue.
Step 1: Moved all my code from the Worksheet_Open event to the Auto_Open Macro.
Result: File would open from inside Excel but when opening by clicking on the file in Windows explorer I would get the error msg "There was a problem sending a command to the program."
Step 2: Apply FixIt 20074. Note that to get this FixIt to work in Windows 8.1 you MUST save the FixIt file to your desktop and run it from there. If you follow the instructions on the FixIt page - download and run - you will get the error msg "This Fixit
does not apply because the computer does not have the expected software (Excel.exe)."
Excel 2013 definitely seems to have some bugs when starting a macro enabled file. I have seen other comments on the internet about the Excel workbook_open event actually failing to run all the VBA commands that are put into it.
Environments:
[1] Home: Microsoft HUP Click-n-Run Office Professional 2013; Windows 8.1, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 32 bit.
[2] Work: Enterprise Microsoft Office Professional 2013; Windows 7, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 64 bit.

I previously had Excel 2010 32bit with 32 both Powerpivot installed. However I am currently evaluating 64 bit Excel 2013 with Powerpivot for my company so I uninstalled Excel 2010 and installed an evaluation copy of Excel 2013 64 bit.
However whenever I launch Excel, enable Powerpivot, then click any of the Powerpivot buttons it gives me an error saying "Excel has stopped working".

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing as well as doing a Repair on my .net framework, which is the latest version.

You can go to check the dll file, what's size of this dll file?
If the file size is 0 byte, you can check the link below:
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2735528
Also you can go to check the disabled items (File->Options->Add-ins->Disabled items->Go) to see if any dll file was disabled.
In addition, Isn't the latest version of .NET Framework supposed to be 4.0?(Not quite familiar with this)

Excel 2013 crashes when creating VFP OLE DB Data connection

Hi all,
I don't know how often the DBF format is used in Office but it seems some demand still exists because Microsoft created 64 bit version of dBase ODBC and OLE DB driver (in Access data engine). Then I don't understand why Microsoft ignores its own FoxPro
DBF data format because FoxPro ODBC driver is not supported already and no 64 bit version of VFP OLE DB driver is planned...
I am testing DBF file import to Excel 2013 (32 bit) but it crashes instantly. I have VFP OLE DB driver (the last version), some small DBF file, and I am trying to read it as external data in Excel.
Steps to reproduce (menu prompts are translated, so some differences may occur):
Open empty worksheet
Click "Other data sources" on Data ribbon
Select Data Connection Wizard and from the list of available drivers select "Other" and click "Next"
A list of OLE DB providers installed appears, select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro and click "Next >>"
Excel 2013 crashes...
This process works in Excel 2010 and 2007 so the problem must be in Excel 2013...
The question is how to read DBF data in FoxPro format when there is no older Office version available?

To connect to a Visual FoxPro database or table in Excel
Open an Excel worksheet.
From the Data menu, point to Import External Data, and click
Import Data.
In the Select Data Source dialog box, click New Source Data Connection.
In the Data Connection Wizard, select Other/Advanced.
In the Provider tab, select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro.
The Connection tab in the Data Link Properties dialog box appears.
To connect to a Visual FoxPro database or table in Word
Open a Word document.
From the View menu, point to Toolbars, and click
Database.
On the Database toolbar, click the Insert Database icon.
In the Database dialog box, click Get Data.
In the Select Data Source dialog box, click New Source Data Connection.
In the Data Connection Wizard, select Other/Advanced.
In the Provider tab, select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro.
The Connection tab in the Data Link Properties dialog box appears.
To add a Visual FoxPro database or table folder
On the Connection tab and in the Select or enter a database name box, type path and name of the database or table folder you want.
-or-
To browse for a Visual FoxPro database or table folder, click the ellipsis (...) button to the right of the
Select or enter a database name box to open the Configure Connection dialog box.
Specify a different collating sequence if desired.
To test the connection, click Test Connection. If connection is successful, click
OK.

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

Excel 2013 BeforeRightClick Event fails on Windows 8.1 Tablet (it's an Excel 2013 tablet touch screen interface bug)

I have developed customized table context menus in an Excel 2013 workbook on my Laptop. They work just fine on my laptop and my work desktop. But when I try to run them on my tablet PC the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event in Excel 2013 never fires. Other
worksheet events appear to work okay. I have fully reinstalled Office 2013 Pro and that does not make any difference.
I have read other comments regarding this same problem going back to 2013, but have never seen Microsoft respond to this issue. Nor have I been able to find a resolution. Has anyone else run into this and found a solution?
Additional Discoveries: Testing on my tablet shows that adding one custom CommandBarButton to either the top or the bottom of the default "List Range Popup" context menu causes the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event to fail. The basic context
menu commands still show up, but the default dropdown button for additional context menu commands disappears. The event is perhaps firing, but any customized code for the context menu is not being handled properly by Excel. This does appear to be a bug and
not a question of coding error. Perhaps someone else with a tablet PC running WIndows 8.1 could test this.
Based on comments
here this bug was introduced in Excel 2013 because others find the problem does not exist when using Excel 2010 on a tablet PC. Note that all the commenters on the linked thread that are experiencing this problem are using tablet PCs.
Update 3-13-15: I stand corrected. The Worksheet_BeforeRightClick does work on Excel 2013 Windows 8.1 tablets. I happen to own an Asus VivoTab Note 8, which comes with a Wacom stylus. If I use the Wacom sylus to right click on an Excel 2013 worksheet cell,
the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event fires and modified context menu code runs just fine. But the code will not run if one uses their finger to right click a worksheet cell. This explains why this problem only shows up on tablet PCs. So the "bug"
introduced in Excel 2013 is a general user touch screen interface bug and not an Excel events programming bug.
Update 3-21-15: Switched to a Toshiba Protege laptop with touch screen. Same issue with finger touch screen interface on the Toshiba touch screen as with the Asus VivoTab touch screen.
Laptop: Toshiba Protege (with touch screen), Windows 8.1 64bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 32bit
Tablet: Asus VivoTab Note 8, Windows 8.1 32bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 32 bit
Desktop: Generic, Windows 7 64bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 64bit

Hello Phil,
Command bars were deprecated and shouldn't be used any longer. Instead, you need to use the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) instead. You can read more about the new UI in the following series of articles in MSDN:
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 2 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 3 of 3)
As a workaround you can add a custom control to the context
menu with the getEnabled or getVisible callback which will be invoked before the context menu is shown.

SAP Office Integration Excel 2013 problem - dummy window pops up with inplace

Hi experts all around the globe,
we are facing a strange problem by some of our users since they have installed Excel 2013 on their PCs. An annoying Excel sheet pops up while generating an excel file in the background.
They are working with several Y (or Z if you like it better so) transactions, and create multiple Excel files (Excel.Sheet.8 -> .xls) in the background. The programs are using Office Integration (interfaces I_OI_CONTAINER_CONTROL and I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY) to create the files.
Method OPEN_DOCUMENT is called with the parameter OPEN_INPLACE, modified, and then closed with the CLOSE_DOCUMENT method, then saved with SAVE_DOCUMENT_TO_URL. The document gets only assigned to a dummy container, this means under normal circumstances the user shouldn't see anything - the file gets created, modified and stored in the background - end of the story. The programs are like 10 years old, and have been doing good since then.
Now some of our users reported, that they have an issue when generating Excel files with those programs. We have investigated / debugged, and here is the thing: in several cases when the method OPEN_DOCUMENT is called, an empty worksheet pops up (see attached screenshot). It also gets in focus, and then in 1 sec is it closing again (as the CLOSE_DOCUMENT is called). This is really annoying when the user has to generate hundreds of Excel sheets (it is quite often the case). The window gets opened and closed with every single file that gets created.
We have tried to identify the problem, but it is user independent, the SAP GUI, Office and Windows versions seem to be all the same - though it appears by some users. The most of us work with SAP GUI 730 Patch level 4, but upgrade to Patch level 9 has also not solved the problem. We have found the notes 1908528 and 1804535. They address similar problems but not exactly the same. We think it has something to do with incompatibility of the releases, or simply an Office / SAP setting we could not think of.
Has someone encountered the same? Any ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Boldi

Hello Daniel,
thank you very much for your reply, it is really appreciated.
We have SAP GUI 7.30 Version 7300.3.9.1084 Build 1496147 Patch Level 9 on the test machine. This one should be the latest available version, am I right?
The issue is a little bit different from the ones described in the SAP notes you suggested. The data is getting "correctly" displayed inplace, but Excel is also getting called up in the same time, and an additional emtpy sheet is displayed, which gets in the focus, disturbing the user. It is just like described in the SAP notes 1425448 and 1567380
To 1425448 (Solution Point 2 below): this is our standard setting, and it does not help us.
To 1567380 (Prerequisites): there is no macro in our sheet.
We could reproduce the issue with the standard report SAPRDEMO_SPREADSHEET_INTERFACE (this is the one suggested in SAP note 1908528 - "Verifying that Excel inplace functionality is working correctly"). The SAP GUI overtakes the focus after a while, as described in the SAP note 1567380, but the empty sheet is active at first, and it is a little bit more than annoying.
How is it on your side, could you please run the standard report (EXCEL, checkbox for inplace set, then Enter) to confirm that the problem exists?
Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day!

Will macros in excel work properly if I switch Office 2013 32 bit to Office 2013 64 bit?

hi,
Will macros in excel created with Office 2013 32 bit work properly if i switch to Office Execl 2013 64 bit?
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, most of the macros might work well between 32bit and 64bit Excel. But there are some limitations for Excel 64bit:
Solutions using ActiveX controls library, ComCtl controls won’t work.
Third-party ActiveX controls and add-ins won’t work.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) that contain Declare statements won’t work in the 64-bit version of Office without being updated.
Compiled Access databases, like .MDE and .ACCDE files, won’t work unless they’re specifically written for the 64-bit version of Office.

Serialized install of Presenter 10 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit with Office 2013 32-bit fails

I used Creative Cloud Packager to create a serialized install of Presenter 10 32-bit for use on Windows 7 64-bit that have Office 2013 32-bit installed. The package created fine, but when I run the setup.exe that CPP generated, the progress bar moves along then undoes the changes and finishes. The Presenter didn't actually install and I get no messages about why it has failed.
Is there any way I can determine what is causing the failure?
I have manually run the full installer and it does work as it should. The problem is only when I create the serialized installation with the CCP.

Hi There,
If you have Office 32 bit, and OS 64 bit then you need to add Presenter 32 bit media as "Offline Media" .
Please find the below steps to create a package for Pn 32 bit and OS 64 bit :
Launch CCP.
Click on Create package and click Next.
Give the name of the package , location to save it , License type as "Serial Number License" , Select "32- bit Package if your OS is 32 bit or select 64- bit Package if you OS is 64 bit" .
Click Next and Enter the serial Key for Presenter 10. Click Next.
Click "Offline Media" .
Click on Browse .
Browse to Presenter 10 Installer and select "PresenterWin32" and click Ok.
Click on Extract.
Select Presenter 10 and click Done.
Click on Build .
Regards,
Mayank
