Excel 2013 working macros have stopped running

I am running Windows 8.1
I use Kaspersky as my antivirus system and fire wall
Macros which have always worked have now failed to run and new macro's can no longer be created. When I try to do this the system crashes, try's to recover but fails.
All other Excel functions appear to be working OK
How do I resolve this problem.

Hi,
Have you made any changes (e.g. install product updates) to your system/Office installation recently? Did you receive any error message?
Actually, we have noticed that a security update released on December 2014 will prevent relative macros from working properly. Probably, you might want to have a check and see if this is the case for you.
For the details and workarounds, please refer to this official blog post:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2014/12/11/forms-controls-stop-working-after-december-2014-updates-.aspx
Please feel free to post back with any findings.

  • VBScript control Excel via COM works in Excel 2010 but NOT in Excel 2013

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know of any reason why VBscript that using COM to connect to Excel and perform some basic functions would stop working when I move to Excel 2013?  I have several VBscripts that run perfectly in 2010 but I get the following error when I try
    using Excel 2013:
    OLE error code 0x80070001:Unknown COM status code
    I can't even get a very simple test VBscript to open a new workbook in Excel.
    Has anyone come across this error or have any suggestions regarding the cause and/or resolution?
    Thanks in advance!
    John

    We cannot tell unless you post an example of the code the causes this error along with the complete error message.

  • Can BPC Release 7.5.112.07 run on MicroSoft Excel 2013 (MS Office 365)?

    Hi BPC Community,
    Can BPC Release 7.5.112.07 run on MicroSoft Excel 2013? We are currently running BPC on Excel 2010. There's a new feature in Office 365, that when we bring up a new BPC report, Excel will open up essentially a new Excel application and the BPC add-in is not replicated in the new Excel application.
    Our IT team mentioned updating registries to prevent a new Excel app for generating, but they said that this approach may revert (erase the reg update) once a new software update is done.
    Thanks. Barry

    Hi Barry,
    Microsoft Office 2013 is supported in BPC 10 sp13 and EPM Add-in sp14, support for BPC 7.5 will end on march 2016 so I don't think they will support it in 7.5 version also in future.
    Forgot to add, same for office 365 not supported in 7.5 but only in 10 version with epm sp18 see please  1999305 - Microsoft Office 365 users are unable to install SAP EPM Add-in

  • Excel 2013: Lost VBA Code From Excel 2010

    Just upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013.
    Tried to open several of my Excel spreadsheets created in 2010 with Excel 2013. I have spreadsheets that have VBA to perform several functions and routines.
    None of the .xlsm spreadsheets from 2010 work in 2013. I get the following messages:
    "The Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros in this workbook are corrupted and have been deleted. The macro corruption most likely exists in the current file. To recover the macros, open a backup copy of this file if you have one."
    OR ...
    "We found a problem with some content in '*******.xlsm'. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes."
    Clicking Yes does not help. It removes or tries to fix the issue. Under the developer tab, the "Visual Basic" and "Macros" button is disabled.
    I tried 3 of my different workbooks. They all get the same error. I went back to an Office 2010 installation and all the workbooks open file - without error, and the code executes.
    Advice?

    I'm getting the same problem, but with Excel 2010.
    I've created a workbook with macros in Excel 2010 and couldn't run it in two computers with office 2010. The same problem as above occurs:
    "The Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros in this workbook are corrupted and have been deleted. The macro corruption
    most likely exists in the current file. To recover the macros, open a backup copy of this file if you have one."
    This problem happened with other 2 workbooks with macro. It's curious too that another workbook with macro created by
    me is working on these two computers without errors. And, of course, all of the workbooks mentioned works well in the other computers. This problem started when I downgrade the office os this two computers from 2013 to 2010.
    None of the solutions proposed above has worked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Add-in does not load on Excel 2013 Professional Plus

    I have Excel 2013 Professional Plus 32-bit running on Windows 7 (64 bit). I ran the Power Query 32 bit installer fine, but Excel now gives this error when starting up:
    System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.File name: 'System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
    I pressed Continue and then checked File > Options > Add-ins > COM Add-Ins and "Microsoft Power Query for Excel" is listed and checked on there, but Power Query's interface does not appear in the Ribbon.
    Restarting the computer, restarting Excel, and toggling the COM Add-In have not helped.
    This is happening on three computers that we have tested it on. All computers are new within the past few months and so there should not be any incompatibilities.
    This was installed using the installer at
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/download-microsoft-power-query-for-excel-FX104018616.aspx

    Resolved! As Curt suggests, I installed .NET 4.0 Full and then Power Query started working.
    The Power Query 64 bit installer warns that .NET Full is required instead of .NET Client (the 32 bit installer did not):
    .NET 4.0 Full is at
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851
    Some information on the difference between .NET Client Profile and the full .NET Framework is in the details of the .NET Client Profile download page:
    "The Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile provides a subset of features from the .NET Framework 4. The Client Profile is designed to run client applications and to enable the fastest possible deployment for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
    and Windows Forms technology. Application developers who require features that are not included in the Client Profile should target the full
    .NET Framework 4 instead of the Client Profile."
    Curt- add in the link to the .NET 4.0 Full installer and I'll mark your post as the answer.

  • I cannot use Hyperlinks in MS Excel 2013 due to Organization Policies

    When I insert a hyperlink in EXCEL 2013 work book, in order to link various worksheets within the workbook, I constantly receive the following message: "Your Organization's Policies are preventing us from completing this action for you. For more info
    please contact your help desk". Yet my application is not part of some organization and I merely use it in home. I do not know if it is relevant but I have uninstalled IE because it created a series of problems in my DELL laptop which runs Win 8.1
    Can somebody help me to resolve aforementioned problem?
    Yannis Kinalis

    Hi Yannis,
    Is your problem restricted only to Excel, or does it happen with other software such as Word, Outlook ?
    And you mentioned that you have already uninstalled IE, what's your default browser now? maybe it is the
    file associations causes this issue.
    Anyway,if this issue happen with all of office programs, you can refer to the thread below:http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/your-organizations-policies-are-preventing-us/94986167-d289-477b-ba57-238472079b32?page=1

  • Excel 2013 Date Popup

    Hello,
    I would like to create a way to allow a calendar popup in a specific cell in Excel 2013. I have searched through many forums, but I cant find anything relating directly to 2013.
    I just want to click a cell and have a calendar popup and when I click a date, it will insert into that cell. I have read many things about the activex control for the date time picker, but that is unavailable in 2013.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    We may need to use UserForm and insert Microsoft MonthView Control 6.0 (SP6) to do that.
    Then write some vba code to MonthView1_DageClick event:
    Private Sub MonthView1_DageClick  (ByVal DateClicked As Date)
    ActiveCell.Value = DateClicked
    End Sub
    Then use a macro to show the form, the form name is Calendar.
    Sub ShowCalendar ()
    Calendar.Show False
    End Sub
    Then add the macro to the Quick Access bar, select the cell which need to select the date, then run the macro, that's OK.

  • How do I get an actor to wait for its nested actors to stop running before stopping itself?

    I'm developing a series of projects that are based on the Actor Framework and my actor dependency hierarchy is starting to get some depth. One of the issues I'm facing now is making sure that each actor will only stop running (and signal this via a Last Ack to a higher-level actor or via a notification to non-AF code that launches it) once all of its nested actors have stopped running.
    For instance, say I have a type of actor that handles communication with a microcontroller over USB - a USB Controller Actor. I might want to have an application-specific actor that launches USB Controller Actor to issue commands to the microcontroller. When shutting down, I want this top-level actor to send a Stop Msg to USB Controller Actor and then wait to receive a Last Ack back before sending a notification within a provided notifier to the non-AF application code, which can then finish shutting down completely.
    I'm sure that having actors wait for all nested actors to shutdown before shutting down themselves is an extremely common requirement and I'm confident National Instruments have made it possible to handle that in a simple, elegant manner. I'm just struggling to figure out what that is.
    The approaches I've experimented with are:
    Creating a pseudo "Stop" message for an actor that won't actually stop it running straight away, but instruct it to stop all nested actors, wait for their Last Acks and then shut itself down by sending Stop Msg to itself. This isn't elegant because it means the client will be forced to fire off these pseudo stop messages instead of Stop Msg to certain actors.
    Instantiating an internally-used notifier and overriding Stop Core.vi and Handle Last Ack Core.vi. The idea is that within Stop Core.vi, I send Stop Msg to each of the nested actors and then make it wait indefinitely on the internal notifier. Within Handle Last Ack Core.vi, I make it send a notification using this notifier which allows Stop Core.vi to continue and perform deinitialisation for the top-level actor itself. Figures 1 & 2 below show this approach. I wasn't confident that this would work since it assumed that it was possible for Stop Core.vi to execute and then Handle Last Ack Core.vi to concurrently execute some time after. These assumptions didn't hold and it didn't work. It would have been messy even if it had.
    Overriding Stop Core.vi, making it send Stop Msg to each nested actor and then waiting for an arbitrarily long period of time (100ms, 200ms, etc.). What if a nested actor takes only 10ms to shut down? What if takes 400ms?
    The figures below show how I implemented the second approach. Ignore the broken object wires - they only appear that way in the snippets.
    Figure 1 - Stop Core.vi from the second approach
    Figure 2 - Handle Last Ack Core.vi from the second approach

    I think that this would be a nice addition. I think how a program stops is just as important as how it starts.
    I think everyone who has worked on AF design agrees with this. Indeed, managing "Stop" was *the* thing that lead to the creation of the Actor Framework in the first place. The other issues (deadlock/hang avoidance and resource management) were secondary to just trying to get a clean shutdown.
    CaseyLamers1 wrote:
    I find the current code a bit lacking.
    My concern would be that the mixing of a verified stop and a regular stop could create confusion and lead to people having trouble during editting and testing with the project ending up locked (due to VIs left running which did not shutting down).
    Your concern is to some degree why no verified Stop exists in the AF already. We looked at each actor as an independent entity, and left it open to the programmer to add an additional managment layer for those applications that needed it. But over time, I have seen that particular management layer come up more often, which is why I am exploring the option."
    So that gives one of the reasons why this hasn't already been implemented but also points out that it's something quite a lot of people want.

  • Excel 2013 save as JPG/PNG graphic format?

    Dear All,
      For Excel 2013, is it possibe to save the sheet in JPG or PNG graphic file?

    Hi,
    Currently, Excel 2013 doesn't have the ability to save a sheet as an image.
    The simplest way to accomplish this is to select and copy the worksheet cells containing the data, chart, etc. you want to save as an image (turn off grid lines if you don’t want them too), then paste it into your graphics editor, say Microsoft Paint.
    Now you will be able to save it as any graphic formats as you want by using
    Save as feature in Microsoft Paint.

  • Excel 2013 Standalone - Power Pivot Plug-in not visible or available for activation

    Dear Microsoft Team
    According to your blog, the Excel 2013 standalone SKUs have now been updated to include Power Pivot and Power View.  (follow this link: http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2013/02/27/unable-to-use-excel-2010-powerpivot-workbooks-in-excel-2013.aspx)
    I've just bought Excel 2013 standalone (non-commercial, SKU AAA-01350) from the MS Store and cannot see either Power Pivot or Power View among the list of the COM Add-ins available. The corresponding sections don't appear in the Excel ribbon.
    Are you aware of any glitches in the Office 2013 installation logic that might have caused such a problem? My PC runs Windows 8 (32-bit), with both Office 2010 and Excel 2013 Standalone installed.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, that didn't make much difference. I had a dialog shown to me reading the following:
    Update for Microsoft Excel 2013 (KB2817425): There are no products affected by this package installed on this system.
    I've since done some digging around and there seem to be other accounts of the newly updated Excel 2013 Standalone not installing Power Pivot. Here is the link (scroll all the way down, to the most recent comments):

  • Excel 2013 hangs when previewing xls file made by Reporting Server 2008

    Hi all.
    I have a unusual error in excel 2013. We have a homepage that delivers statics to our users and there you can choose to export the webpage to a xls file via SQL ReportingServer 2008. The thing is when I open this exported file in Excel and hit the print
    button, excel crashes. It seems to crash during the preview of the document. If I make a document by hand that has exactly the same format as the exported document, excel will preview and print it. 
    I have tried to change default printer and printer drivers but no success. Office 2013 is also up to date.
    If I save the document from SRSS and try to print it from another computer with Excel 2013 installed, it crashes Excel.
    Any suggestions? 

    Hi,
    Did you use another Excel file to preview or print? Did the Excel crash again?
    I recommend we export a different webpage to a XLSX, then we test it again.
    I notice that you try to print the document from another compute and also crashed Excel.
    Following this, I suppose that there were some underidentified characters in the file.
    After that, I suggest we save as the file to PDF to test.

    I have tried printing another excelfile without problems. Infact I can make a replica manually of the report and print it without problem. I can't narrow it down to either a RS fault or Excel fault cause the logfiles don't say much. If I export the report
    to a PDF it prints fine, but my users will complain about lack of editing :-)
    If I save the xls file to xlsx and tries to print it also hangs in print preview.
    An interesting thing is when i export the file to PDF/XPS (PDF in this case) it also hangs Excel... 
    How do I look for underidentified
    characters in the file? I don't see anything in the spreadsheet.  
     

  • Page size error when creating PDF from Excel 2013

    Hello,
    I am using Acrobat Pro XI, and am creating a PDF from Excel 2013.  I have updated Acrobat to the latest version (11.0.4).  I am using the Acrobat CreatePDF add-in inside Excel to convert a spreadsheet to PDF.  However, when I create the PDF, the page size doubles from 8.5" x 11" to 17" x 22".  I have checked the print settings inside Excel to insure that the content fits onto an 8.5" x 11" page.  I also checked the Preferences->Advanced Preferences of the Create PDF add-in and confirmed that the default page size is set to 8.5" x 11".  Does anyone know why it is creating the PDF with a 17" x 22" page size?  Also, can the page be resized back down to 8.5" x 11" within Acrobat Pro XI? 

    Hello - this did not happen when I printed the file to the Adobe PDF printer.  It correctly sized the sheet as 8.5" x 11".  Thanks for the suggestion.  Also, it will properly print out to the physical printer. 
    The main problem is when I am combining several PDFs into one document, I have some sheets sized at 8.5" x 11" and some at 17" x 22", so the document looks strange when viewing it online.  I am still not sure why the Create PDF add-in creates a different sized PDF than the Print to PDF function. 

  • Microsoft excel 2013 stops working and getting very slow when I work in one file

    I am using windows 8.1 pro in my office and I have excel 2013,
    When I'm working on excel generally there is no problem, but I have an excel file which I work on in it's too slow and stops working, I have also tried to open the same file in another computer which is having the same problem.
    while I was using Office 2010 it was working very fine, I can also share my file with you if you want in order to be checked and resolved.
    I appreciate if you help me,

    Hi,
    You can share the file with us by sending it to GBSD TN Office Information Collection [email protected] Be sure that you have the private information hidden.
    Meanwhile, since it works fine in Office 2010, we can try to open the file in Excel 2010, then go to File > Options > Formulas, check if you have enabled iterative calculation. If so, uncheck the check box and switch the workbook calculation to Manually.
    Then, save the changes and then open the modified excel using Excel 2013 to see the result.
    Please let me know the result.

  • Links in PDF's and Excel have stopped working

    I'm using a fresh install of Firefox 14.0.1. Links in PDF's and Excel have stopped working (the reinstall was part of the problem solving). FF is my default browser.

    Starting in Firefox 14, Firefox no longer creates registry settings for launching links using "DDE". This has been reported to create two different problems:
    * "Firefox is already running" or "Firefox is not responding" error when following links in email messages in Thunderbird ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932461 Can't open links in Firefox by clicking URL in Thunderbird])
    * New instance of Firefox launches if the existing instance is running in Sandboxie ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/933798 Firefox is running. I click on a link, say in an email, it tries to start another instance of the browswer instead of just opening a new tab as it did before.])
    Not sure whether your "silent fail" scenario is related.
    It is possible to configure Firefox 14 to use DDE by inserting some settings into the registry. I haven't researched this carefully myself, but there was some information about it on and external site linked in the Sandboxie thread.
