Excel 2013 and Random Excessive Processor Utilization

Every now and then (about once per day), my Excel 2013 will randomly seize one of my 8 threads and max it out.  My PC is quad-core and hyper-threaded, so it shows up in task manager as 8 cores.  When Excel seizes, its UI still seems to function
properly... I can input data and format cells, etc.  But even when my machine should be idle, I'll notice that my laptop fan is running at the maximum.  When this happens, a quick look at task manager shows me that "excel.exe *32" is consuming
13% of my processor utilization (100% divided by 8).
If I close Excel, the process typically will quit, but every now and then I must forcibly end the process even after Excel has appeared to close (the UI almost always closes fine, but sometimes even after the UI has closed the fan still runs high and there
is still an excel.exe *32 process hanging out in my task list, consuming exactly 13% of the CPU until I end the process).
I notice this more often when editing network files via VPN, but every now and then it will happen with local files, too.
Perhaps this is an issue with multi-cores and memory locks?  I'm tempted to permanently set the processor affinity for excel.exe to see if this alleviates the issue...
Do you have any suggestions?

Seems that Excel crash issue only happen for a single user in your site, and you've tried some of troubleshoot steps already. Please continue to perform the following method which mention in the
KB2758592 o narrow down the issue:
Method 1: Verify/install the latest updates
Method 4: Check whether your antivirus software is up to date or is conflicting with Excel
Method 7: Test by using a new local or network profile
Method 9: Repair or reinstall your Office program

  • Hierarchy selection missing in member selector with Excel 2013 and EPM SP21

    Hello all,
    We have recently upgraded to excel 2013 and EPM SP21. While running a data manager package we are not getting an option for "hierarchy" view, only "list" view is available in member selector dialog box as shown below:
    This clearly looks to be an issue with the upgrade as we never faced this earlier.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,

    Look here:

  • Excel 2013 and QucikBooks 2012

    Whenever I click on the Excel link in QuickBooks 2012 Premier, I get an error message "Your system might not have enough memory to use Excel."  I have had this problem for a long time.  I uninstalled and re installed both QuickBooks and
    Excel.  I upgraded from Office 2007 to 2013.  I bought a new computer with 16 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 CPU.  When I bought the new computer, I mirrored my hard drive and this brought the problem over to the new computer.
    I have scoured the QuickBooks forums and no one can help me.  I am sure this is some kind of link problem or registry problem, not a problem with resources.  Any suggestions?  I really need these two programs to link to each other.  Right
    now my only option is to create a CSV file, which is slower and does not allow me to create Excel files that are automatically updated with QuickBooks data.

    Hi Sir,
    We have no QuickBooks 2012 Premier, thus, we could not test and troubleshoot it.
    I recommend you connect the QuickBooks 2012 Premier local provider to get more help.

  • How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

    Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
    My questions are as follows:
    I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder.  I have English and French users in our environment.  Do I need save them twice?  Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
     Likewise for the Excel file? 
    How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel?  By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder.  I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
    folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
    FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:
    https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/AssignmentTimephasedData01T00:00:00'

    Thanks in advance,
    \Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

    Thank you Guilaume.  May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me?  If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)?  Or does
    that defeat the purpose?  Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA?  Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
    French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
    I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc).  As you can see I am a bit confused.
     Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

  • Excel 2013 crashes every single time I click on Power Query Tab and try anything

    I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I installed Office 2013 Professional Plus 64 bit. I dont have any older versions of office. I downloaded and installed power query 64 bit. I start excel, click on power query tab and select any option, excel crashes
    and closes, every single time. 
    The event viewer says "Excel is running into problems with "microsoft power query for excel" add-in If it keeps happening disable this add in and check for updates.

    Excruciatingly frustrating to have such an unintuitive message. What should I do to get power query working in excel 2013 and most importantly for excel to function ?

    Hi,
    It should be the latest version of Power Query. Make sure there is no old version of power Query installed in your computer.And what happens if you reinstall Power Query add-in or repair your office program?
    Also Microsoft Power Query for Excel requires Internet Explorer 9 or greater.

  • SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

    So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
    folder.
    The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
    1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
    When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
    Applied GPOs
    Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
    U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
    In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
    Administrative Templates
    Extra Registry Settings
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
    The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
    Any ideas?
    I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
    I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
    utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Justin,
    Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
    per your suggestion:
    1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
    2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
    3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
    4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
    I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:

  • Data Model damaged, Cannot connect to Access 2013 from within Excel 2013

    Hello,
    Recently I am not able to use PowerPivot for Excel 2013 and I cannot connect to my Access 2013 database tables from within Excel 2013. Whenever I try to click on a slicer in my Excel worksheet, it gives me the following error: "Excel was unable to load
    a necessary component. This component might have been damaged or deleted. Reinstall the client software or data source driver software for your database."
    I am using Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2013 on Windows 7, 64-bit version. I have tried reinstalling Microsoft SQL Compact Edition 2005 and reinstalling Office 2013. I have run out of ideas and am a loss what to do next ? 
    Can anyone help point in the right direction for a possible solution to this problem ??? 
    Would appreciate all help.

  • Error Message: "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources" when creating pivot table with Excel 2013

    Hi, 
    One of our users encountered this problem with Excel 2013 while creating pivot tables, particularly with large files. We tried to modify Virtual Memory
    of the pc but error still persist. Why does this happen and how can we resolve this? Thanks.
    Another error message encountered by the user, this time when opening large files. The files she tried to open are working fine in 2010. But when opened in 2013, it prompted : "There
    isn't enough memory to complete this action. Try using less data or closing other applications."

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Did your user using the Excel 2013 and Excel 2010 with same PC? If not, please let me know the both of the 2 PCs' hardware list/Windows operation system info.
    Did you using Excel 2013 32bit version and Excel 2010 64bit version?
    General speaking, this issue usually occurs with Office 2013 32 bit version. It has a limitation of 2Gb of memory that can be used by its process. And the 64-bit Excel can handle larger workbooks.
    Thus, if your user using 32bit Excel, I recommend try 64bit Excel instead.
    Here is a similar issue, we also could try it:

  • Creation of PDF from Excel 2013 - problem with black color

    Hi,
    I am a publisher of crossword magazine and I use Excel to write crosswords. Then I create PDF's and import them into InDesign.  
    In past I used Adobe printer and it works fine with Excel 2000 and 2010 (only these two versions I used in past) Now I switched to Excel 2013 and when I use Adobe printer to print crosswords into PDF problem occurs with lines done in Excel (insert - shapes - line). I use black color for these lines but in PDF they appears as rich black (TIC 300%). Why it is not 100% black? I know that Excel works in RGB but in past I was always able to change settings in printer profiles (Adobe printer) to reach 100 % black without CMY colors. Now I have no idea. I attached picture of pdf how it looks in Adobe Acrobat in Outpur preview.
    Thank you in advance for any advice

    These are tough issues I suspect and the answer you need is probably trivial (it is finding it). I will make some suggestions, but I have no idea if any will work.
    -  In the printer under the Properties>Layout>Advanced>print quality, I use 300 dpi (default is 1200).
    - Under the printer preferences>settings>edit the settings file, I use again 300 dpi (default is 1200 dpi).
    These may not fix your issue, but migth be worth a try. You could also try using the preflight script to change to gray-scale. It may not make any changes, but again may be worth a try.
    All I am trying to suggest are the things I would be looking at. Maybe they will lead you someplace. Others may be by with better suggestions in time.

  • Excel 2013 hangs on opening a file on network

    Hello,
    I have a user that is having problems opening some Excel files(.xlsx) from a specific folder on the network. I can open them fine with Excel 2013 and others can as well, even at the user's location which is off-site from the main building. These files are
    about 2.5 to 3.5Mb in size. I could open a 62Kb file on the persons computer but the larger files Excel just sits there with the spinning cursor and the program window 'blinks', kind of like when you make it the active window then click somewhere else then
    back. I can go up one level then into a different folder and have no issues opening Excel files there. I've tried opening through Safe Mode but it has the same behavior, performed a repair on Office as well as an Open and Repair on the file, made sure it was
    a trusted location  and disabled hardware acceleration. Nothing is working. What else can I try to troubleshoot this issue?
    On a side note and I'm not sure if this is helpful but when they tried opening the file, I never saw the temp file created like I do when you open any Office document.

    I tried both and at first the xlsb file was hanging but I logged off to try other things under my account then logged back on again and it opened though pretty slow. I tried from my account as well and it is very slow but does eventually open. Under the
    users account I copied the file to her desktop and it opens with no problem. The permissions are the same on all similar level folders yet the user can open Excel files from them with no problem and even larger than the problem files.
    Edit: My mistake, the green progress bar happens on other folders as well. Talking with one of the senior IT who installed the system, this user is the last person of a chain from microwave>switch and fiber link>another switch and fiber link so just
    may be a physical issue though from my experience the one folder 'seems' to have the most trouble in opening the Excel files.
    Also tried disconnecting the network drive then reclogging to let the scripts recreate it. No luck with that approach either.

  • Excel 2013: Slow performance loading Excel Sheets

    Our customer is migrating from Vista/Office 2007 to Windows 7/Office 2013 and they have the following configurations:
    VDI Windows 7 PRO x64, XenDesktop 5.6 - 2 Core on ESX 5.0, 4GB, VDI on SSD
    VDI Windows 7 PRO x64, XenDesktop 5.6 - 2 Core on ESX 5.5, 4GB, VDI on SSD
    Laptop, Windows 7 PRO x64, 4 core (+HT) i7, 8GB, SSD
    Advanced workstation, Windows 7 PRO x64, dual 8 core Xeon (No HT), 32GB, SSD
    On all these systems we tested Excel 2013 (patched until today) in both 32-bit as 64-bit versions. Both as AppV and Native install.
    When we open an Excel worksheet, approx 220MB with a lot of cell's and rows, Excel takes approx 2-4 minutes to open the sheet, even when calculations do not apply. In Excel 2007, the same sheet opens within 20 seconds and even faster.
    What we tried:
    Auto calculation - Disabled
    All fancy stuff in Excel - Disabled
    excel.exe.config with settings to bypass some certifcate checks
    Disabled and finally removed allmost every plugin
    Playing with a lot of options in Excel 2013
    To have a cross check, we reproduced the problem at an other client with both Excel 2013 and Excel 2010. And the problem still exists allthough Excel 2010 is not as bad as Excel 2013.
    Is there any solution for this problem other then not use Office 2010/Office 2013 and stick with Office 2007 (what has other problems in combination with newer software so is also not an option)?

    Tested with Safe Mode - No solution
    Tested with Trusted locations - No solution

    George,
    I did do some tests as suggested and I found a huge difference between the handling of Excel 2007/2010 and 2013. I did see some strange behaviour.
    I created an Excel Sheet in all 3 environments with identical steps to get identical sheets. After save i discovered the following:
    On Excel 2007/2010 the test sheet was:
    Test Sheet.xlsx - 191.894 kB
    Test Sheet.xls - 614.881 kB
    On Excel 2013 test sheet was:
    Test Sheet.xlsx - 187.378 kB
    Test Sheet.xls - 336.092 kB
    After that we repeated tests, but due to some problems with the Vista/2007 workstation I was not able to continue my tests, and maybe tomorrow I can do the tests there.
    When I was testing with 2010 and 2013 i discovered there are some phases when loading a sheet. And there is where 2013 in my opinion does something not good. The tests run from "Open" until the sheet can be "Edited".
    Under Excel 2010 the phases can be defined as: Download, Validate, Open, Calculate, Display, Editable
    Under Excel 2013 the phases can be defined as: Download, Validate, Open, Calculate, Calculate, Display, Editable
    What i noticed is that Excel 2013 does calculate the sheet 2 times instead of one time. And I made some tests with this knowledge.
    Test/Stage
    Type
    Download
    Open/Validate
    Calculate 1
    Calculate 2
    Ready
    Excel 2013
    xls
    0:17
    0:38
    1:15
    1:48
    2:17
    Excel 2013
    xlsx
    0:10
    1:18
    1:49
    2:28
    2:32
    Excel 2010
    xls
    0:27
    3:03
    3:36
    3:42
    Excel 2010
    xlsx
    0:08
    0:56
    1:10
    1:13
    Excel 2010 (2013 sheet)
    xlsx
    0:06
    0:53
    1:09
    1:14
    So there is a second calculation loop in Excel 2013 what takes a lot of time. And i discovered some other problems when creating my test sheets where recalcuation makes a mess of it, but that is a later issue.

  • Excel 2013 pdfmaker not showing up in ribbon

    I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard (10.1.10) with Excel 2013 and I am trying to get the PDFMaker option to show up on the ribbon, but it won't.  The PDFMaker is showing up under the active application add-ins, but won't show up on the ribbon bar.  Any help to get this added is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Today, I tried it again and now I could see the Name range under Browser View Options list, this is my step as below:
    1. Type the value in Cell A1 to B4. (Same as the screenshot as the last reply)
    2. Directly type Test in Name Box.
    3. Go to File > Info > Browser View options > Items in the Workbook.
    Now the Name is appearing.
    But when we define a name to a blank range, we would not see the Name in the Browser View options anymore. Try in your site.
    By the way, My using version is Office 36 ProPlus, version 15.0.4551.1005.

  • Essbase Excel Add-in for Excel 2013

    Hi There,
    I recently upgrade from Excel 2010 to 2013, it seems Essbase Excel Add-in (1.1.2.2) has some issue with Excel 2013, does anybody experience this too, any advice on this?
    Thanks

    The excel add-in is not certified to work with Excel 2013 and a matter of fact, the only version of Smart View certified with it is 11.1.2..5 which just came out. The Essbase Add-in has not been updated in a shile and has been susetted by Oracle so there will be no new versions of it

  • Excel 2013 ExtensionHardening

    In Excel 2013 when exporting data to Excel from Microsoft Dynamics CRM I get the error:
    "The file format and extension of "FILENAME.xls" don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don't open the file"
    I got the same error when I had Excel 2010 but was able to find a registry key workaround that make the error go away. Now that I've upgraded to 2013 the error is back. The same registry keys don't look like they exist for 2013 and I've not been able to
    find anything online for a fix. Any advice?
    Here is the fix for Office 2010:
    Key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Security
    Value: (DWORD)"ExtensionHardening"
    = [0 = Disable check; 1 = Enable check and prompt; 2 = Enable check, no prompt deny open]
    Default setting if value not present is 1 (enable and prompt).

    Hi,
    I just tested in Excel 2013, and the same registry key works, though it isn't there by default. You may not remember this, but you had to create it for earlier versions as well. just create it:
    1. Go to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Security
    2. Edit --> New --> DWord value
    3. Name it ExtensionHardening. It will be on 0 by default.
    The file has to have an XLS extension, the key won't work for XLSX and the file wouldn't open using it.
    Hope this helps,
    Anita

  • Excel 2013 crashes when trying to open existing worksheets from previous versions of Excel

    Hello
    I have windows 8 and Excel 2013 on my system. I need to access previously created worksheets (in older versions of Excel), however, when I attempt to open them the Excel crashes.
    The is not what I expected from getting the latest version. I telephoned Microsoft who advised that there was a compatabilty problem with no work around at this stage.
    I found that the only way round it was to use an (download free) alternative non-Microsoft program
    http://www.openoffice.org/ and copy into the 2013 Excel as a new worksheet. A little disappointing after purchasing the Excel .
    Have I got this wrong or is there a Microsoft solution to this issue???

    Hi,
    Try the following steps:
    Open Excel 2013, and go to
    File –> Options –> Trust Center.
    Under
    Trust Center settings, select Protected View and
    uncheck all options under it.
    Restart the Excel 2013 to check the issue.
