Excel for mac 2011

Just upgraded my operating system from 10.5 to 10.7.5 and now my excel is working different and I need help with this simple question……How do I delete data in a cell without deleting my formula? Before the upgrade all I had to do was hit delete and no problem, now it wipes out my complicated formula and for the life of me I can't figure a way around it. Thanks for your help.

This appears to be the solution (from Microsoft's forum):

Cant print black from excel for mac 2011 anymore only colour

I can't print black from excel for mac 2011 anymore only colour. Can print normally from all other programs. Will not work from excel. Will only print colour. Have reinstalled printer drivers with no difference. Brand new mac so should be no font issues. I have to screen print all excel documents to print. Wont work if saved as PDF either. Am looking for suggestions. Have checked all preferences and settings. Tried fine and fast - no difference. Comes out blank. Will only print colour. HELP!

I have a variation of this same problem. I maintain a bunch of Microsoft Excel 97-2004 Workbooks. Some of these documents print in colour (actually a light grey colour), while others print in black ink. I cannot discern the difference between the documents and why the difference in printing.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
C.

EXCEL FOR MAC 2011 Date Format Issue

Excel for Mac 2011 14.1.0 on iMac OSX 10.7.5. I see no forum category for Microsoft Office for Mac so just chose iMac. Checked Microsoft site first with no success.
PROBLEM:
In new spreadsheet I selected one column and formatted to date format.
It was working fine. Then after I'd been doing some editing and having issues, I closed the file then opened it again.
The cells/column I'd formatted for dates was showing the date as strange numbers. Like this: Instead of 9/12 it shows 41894.
Even though the individual as well as column cell format is still "Date" with example style of "3/14" selected, it will not work.
I cannot find a way to "Clear Formatting" either -- only Clear Contents.
However, when I cut and paste the cells to another worksheet the date is fine -- but I've lost all my formatting and don't want to start over. Besides, I need to know what is causing the problem.
HELP!! Is this a bug?

Granny,
You will probably find help on the Microsoft Office website. Excel isn't covered here.

Stock Quote Query still not working in Excel for Mac 2011

I've been following this thread and like many others, stock quotes in Excel for Macintosh 2011 stopped working for me shortly before Christmas. While I've noticed that it will work on my work computer which is running windows 7, I can not get it
to work at home on my mac, even when I use the same .iqy file as on the pc. I am at my wits end. Can you offer any help?

Hi,We support Office for Windows in the current forum, since this question is about Office for Mac, I suggest you post the question in Office for Mac forum:

How to save a Module in Visual Basic with Excel for Mac 2011

On the MS support pages it shows how to create a module that will turn digits into written words:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/213360/en-us
so if you enter $32.50 it will convert it to Thirty-Two Dollars and 50 cents. Perfect for batch payroll work!
Using Excel for Mac I open the Visual Basic editor (which I clearly know nothing about!), paste in the text provided by Microsoft and it works perfectly.
BUT... if I close that workbook that module is gone. I can't use it again in the next workbook. Surely there's a simple way to save the module so it is available in all future workbooks... yes? This one has stumped several MS techs so far.

Hi,
I have no Excel for Mac, so I can't test this issue .
Did you save the Excel workbook as Excel Macro-Enabled workbook(*.xlsm)?I guess Excel would prompt you if you want to save the VBA code when you close the workbook.

Excel for Mac 2011 document not opening correctly

Please help! I have a Mac Book Pro (OS X Mavericks) with Office 2011 installed. I received what should be an excel document with the .xls extension, but when I double click to open the file, I get a MIME-Version: 1.0 document instead. This document is unreadable - how can I open it in an excel document?

No, I am talking about Apple's Preview application. Its icon looks like this:

Add in chart for Excel in Mac 2011

why i can't use Arabic with excel office for mac 2011?

Because even after 14 years MS has failed to add arabic support to most Office products for Mac. Instead use Open/LibreOffice or Numbers.

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

I'm using Excel, Word and Outlook for Mac 2011 in Yosemite without any issues. I can't speak for Powerpoint, as I've never opened it. I'm not a power user in Office, so I doubt I've really exercised it. But so far, Word editing and some simple Excel spreadsheets I use for inventory tracking have worked with no problem.

Imac is 4 months old. Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone. How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me. I am new to the apple world. Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook. Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
The question is: how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac? Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine? I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

Outlook for Mac 2011

I just migrated one macbook Pro to another both using OS X 10.8.5. When I try to open Outlook I get an error message that says "This identity cannot be opened with this version of Outlook".
It worked and still works fine in the original machine and Word & Excel work fine in the new machine, but not outlook. I tried removing Outlook for Mac 2011 and reinstalling but I get the same error message.
Any ideas out there?

Or better yet, start using mac mail. I went back and forth between the two for year, and without getting into specifics or details I went back to mac mail and never looked back. Simple and does everything it supposed. Mac version outlook got stripped of a lot of functionalities that the pc version includes. With rare fixes, updates, and frequent problems between lost mail, corrupt identity files and mail which hangs up during the sent process just shows you that they half as*ed the mac version of outlook. Save your frustration and switch.
