Excel Gridlines

I want to export a report as a MS Excel 97-2000 (XLS) file, from InfoView, with gridlines. However, unlike the Excel export in CR, InfoView's does not have an option to display gridlines. How do I make this option available?
Thanks,
Arnel

Amel,
You are exporting a report from Infoview to excel format and when you open it in excel there are no gridlines? Can you please clarify the workflow to make sure I undserstand correctly?
The option to display gridlines is set in the actual crystal report.
1. Open the report from the designer
2. Select FILE --> EXPORT --> Report Export Options
3. Choose EXCEL and click OK
4. In the Dialog check the box reading "Show Gridlines"
5. Publish to Enterprise (unless you opened it from Enterprise)
The export settings are stored with the report at this point and export to Excel format should include gridlines.
As a reminder, the displaying of gridlines in excel is an option to the Excel program. Make sure that is set.

Displaying Excel Gridlines

Hi,
I have Office 2004 installed on MacPro with Leopard 10.5.7
When I open a new Excel file and start using it, NO gridlines are displayed (the View Gridlines checkbox is checked).
I have to go to Excel->Preferences and change the Gridlines colour from Automatic to Black (even though the automatic colour is apparently black). Then I get Gridlines displayed in dotted black lines in the current sheet.
However, this will only be for the current sheet - I have to do this on all sheets and all Excel files to view gridlines.
Doe anyone else get this?
Does anyone know how to resolve it? To get gridlines displayed automatically in black?
Perhaps changing the default colour of gridlines? how?
Thanks,
Richard

Since Excel is not made by Apple please post related questions on Microsoft's own forums for the Mac version of Excel, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

Printing excel grid lines

I just installed an HP All-in -One Desket printer, Envy 3350. I downloaded the software from the WEB as instructed. When I print an Excel spreadsheet with print grid lines selected, only everyother horizontal grid line is printed. All vertical grid lines print as expected. I have Windows Vista Home Premium as my operating system. I had no such issue with my previous DELL printer. I suspect there is a selection in one of the set-up options that needs to be checked/changed. I have tried to find such an option, but have not been successful. Any suggestions??

When I print excel double sided the printer randomly skips printing one or two of
the excel gridlines.
This does not happen with single sided printing only double sided printing

Try printing in "Best" quality as a test. If this resolves the issue then it is likely you have some blocked nozzles in the printhead. In this case try the steps shown here for troubleshooting, particularily the steps in Solution 4.

White Gridlines in MS Excel

Hello
One of our PowerrBook G4 Computer has a small problem.
In Excel all the gridlines are white. When I go to the settings, the color of the grid is set to automatic (Automactic is black). When I switch to the black, the grid is availible.
I need to switch the grid color from automatic to black for every new file. How can I solve this problem? I am sure it has something to do with some settings file of Microsoft but I have no Idea which while is responsible for this error.
Do someone has a solution?
Regards
Gérard

Perhaps you should try resetting Excel's preferences. Close all Microsoft Office applications.
Go to your Home Folder (the one with your name), then Library, then Preferences, then Microsoft:
Delete the file 'com.microsoft.Excel.prefs.plist' (a new one will be created next time you open Excel).
Open Excel again and reset your preferences: both the Excel Preferences as well as the toolbar preferences.
This should cure the problem.

Numbers to Excel. Gridlines still printing after BORDERS cleared.

I prepared a document in Excel. I then worked on it in numbers. Everything was OK. When I opened it up in Excel as an XLS document I could not print without the gridlines. Researching it on the forums I noticed that I should clear borderes. That works when I am looking at it on the computer. No borders. However, when I try to print or do a print preview I see the gridlines. I am using Office 2010 for PC and the latest Numbers on my iPad and Mac.
Thank

Hi,
As per the description, I think the cause is most likely on the printer side, I would suggest you switch to different printer and see if issue persists.
Also, issue happens with 64-bit version of Office, probably an compatibility issue between the Printer driver and the 64 bit Office. Try to swatch to 32 bit of Office, then verify result.
As per Microsoft, they highly recommend 32 bit version of Office, as not all other products/drivers are compatibility with 64 bit of Office.

Gangise,
Is it possbile to disable the gridlines in excel ? I
Are you meaning to have the gridlines not appear at all, or to turn them off once you open the worksheet in Excel? To turn off gridlines once you've opened it in Excel, you can click on the "master cell" (this is the cell above and to the left of A1), then right-click and choose "format cells", then at the format cells menu choose "Border", then choose preset "none", click ok, and voila, all borders are removed...

Numbers Gridline Problem

How do I get NUMBERS to replace missing gridlines in part of a spreadsheet? Copying to a new blank sheet or to an Excel sheet
doesn't work.

Hi Peggy,
There are a couple of places you can go to manage gridlines.
Here with the table or row or column or cell selected you can change things including choosing "default" under the line popup.
Here you can select/deselect gridlines or even choose a style for the whole table.

Excel spreadsheet not printing correctly

Recently bought a Envy 4500 all in one printer that my son installed. Everything works except for one thing on my excel spreadsheets.

Thanks for your help....pjh
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Probably more reading than you want to do (and not sure if you're using Excel 2010), but I found this:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-excel/in-excel-2010-cannot-get-gridlines...
And maybe the Reader's Digest version of a solution?
After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and a small rain forest later this suggestion works:
On existing Excel 2010 Spreadsheets
In the Excel 2010 document, Print Preview and Print>Printer Properties>Advanced>Document Options>Print Optimizations: change setting to Disable. Save the file.
Hopefully to work on new Excel 2010 Spreadsheets
My computer>printers, or printers and devices>printer preferences, change 'Printer Optimization' from 'Enabled' to 'Disabled', then apply.
Fingers crossed this will work on new spread sheets.

Did you ever get your web template to print properly?

Cannot get an invoice created with IWork Numbers to open correctly in Excel

I used the Template in Numbers to create an invoice,and it's great.
However, I cannot seem to open this file in Excel no matter how I send it, no matter how I save it.
Have saved as windows friendly, have saved as Excel file.
I have to be able to have these opened by others with Excel and/or OpenOffice and, Office staff must be able to work with the file to update/modify invoices.
I even tried Pdf and Adobe Acrobat Pro thinking they would be able to do data entry that way-No luck.
Desperately need a solution or a year of working with IWork is going to be lost.
We have now added staff, and in other locations, and have to be able to work across platforms.
No problems importing Office files of any type, but have to be able to export as well and have cells and formatting remain workable.
I can open the files in Excel but they are unusable, in several pages, basically no invoice template left.
Thanks for any help.

If you are getting three Excel worksheets, the export is working as designed. You have to remember that the heart of an Excel worksheet is a monolithic table. Everything is aligned in a tabular grid. Numbers, on the other hand, allows you to have multiple tables on the same sheet that have different column and row widths and the tables can be placed wherever you like, offset from the other tables by whatever amount you desire in any direction you desire. The invoice template is a good example; the two tables are very dissimilar in format and in column widths. If Numbers was to export the two tables from the invoice template into a single sheet of an Excel workbook, which column widths would it use? The ones from the first table or the ones from the second? No matter which it chose, the result would be quite different from what is in Numbers. Now include some text boxes, graphics or charts. With the tables moved around and resized to align to the Excel grid, these other items would also have to be moved around. But to where. It would be impossible to make an exported file look anything like it did in Numbers except in specific instances. This is why Numbers creates separate Excel sheets when it converts to Excel.
I know that diatribe did not help you solve your problem. To solve your problem, everything must be designed as one table in Numbers. Here is how you can do it. It is a bunch of steps but is really simple to do.
1) Select all the rows from the first table.
2) Drag them sideways out of the table and drag them to the second table, inserting them just below the first row. I think this is explained in the Numbers User's Guide.
3) Add a new row below the rows you just inserted (this will become your new row 8)
4) Select the cells in row 1. Copy. Paste to your new row 8.
5) Delete row 1
6) Go to the Table Inspector and turn on Name (check the checkbox). Name it Invoice.
7) Back at the table, deselect the table if it is still showing the column letters and row numbers in order to see the table name
8) Click twice on the table name above the table to select it. It will box it in, it does not select the text.
9) On the toolbar, change the font size and color and set it to left justification.
10) Delete the textbox with the word "Invoice" in it.
11) Delete the textbox with "sincerely yours ... Your name". Or, if you want to keep it, add another footer to the table, increase the height of that new footer and type "Sincerely yours," and your name in there. Note that you use option-return to create the linefeeds in the cell.
12) Select the table and slide it up toward the top of the sheet.
13) Adjust the column widths as best you can. I increased the column width of column B and right justified the text in cells A1-A6 and C1-C6 to get it looking okay. You might, instead, choose to insert a column or two and merge some cells together to align everything like you want it. And you might choose to add a row or increase the gridline width between the top half and the bottom half. I did not do those last few things. You can play around to get the design you like best.
The export looked almost exactly like the Numbers document.

Align gridlines

Hello All. With the help of this board I have managed to plot both my data sets on the same graph. I have a request. Is it possible to force the right y-axis to use the gridlines of the left y-axis?
Basically I have a predictable range on the left and have this programatically set to have a consistant and readable number of gridlines. The right is less predictable, so I have been using the autoscale function, but it likes to add a whole bunch of differently spaced gridlines.
Is there a way to autoscale with a certain number of gridlines (say 20?) so that the gridlines on my two axes match even though one is autoscaled and one is not?
Also, would it be possible to keep the min value 0? Basically just autoscale greater than zero?
Thanks,
Nukem.

Is your right graph Y-axis one that is going to be re-autoscaling frequently? If not, I'd suggest manually autoscaling it (find max, min of data, pick good max, min for axis [for example not -4.573 to +132.05] and figure out the interval for X gridlines, which you'd just calculate from your left Y-axis data. It's really pretty straightforward. (I stopped using a program's native autoscaling when I can avoid it many years ago when I used Excel a lot for presentations - 'nuf said.)
