Excel question-may be wrong forum for this!

Hello,
Not sure where to post this, but need Mac specific help for Excel for Mac. Is there a way to compare the formulas in 2 excel workbooks? I am looking for an easy and rather automated way to do this. I have seen free add ins for PC's that do this, but none for excel mac users...
One workbook is correct as far as formulas, but has outdated data. The other workbook has the correct data, but I need to check to make sure the formulas are accurate and functioning...
Thanks!

The only way I see of doing this is opening Excel Tools/Visual Basic Editor and create a visual basic script that compares workbook1 to workbook2.
My VB scripting is novice at best but this would be the more flexible way of comparing formulas between two sheets.
I would go to microsoft.com (dare I recommend!) and go to their community forums then go to Excel Programming and ask how this can be done in VB.

    I am thinking abut the Studio High Definition Powered Isolation Headphones with Noise Cancellation. In trying to find the place with the 2 miles/$1 spent and the lowest price is too much for my drained brain to handle. If anybody knows the place that gives the 2 miles/$ spent and the best price for the exact product please sent it my way. (Not the product but the answer) lol.
    I do have a question at Newegg they have a special add-on which I am not sure if it is worth getting. is there somebody who can tell me what this is and if it is worth getting the two together. Finally, the Headphones, I assume, plug into any MBP without any special connector. It would be awesome if they plug into the iPods too but I think there might be a small adapter.
    OK back to my main question, should I get the # Monster AICYP 200 S Y-Splitter With Volume Control/Mute. The detail about this combo is helpful to me but still I do not have enough info and lack the practical skills to make the right decision.

  • I want to install Mountain Lion on my 2008 iMac. My current OS is Snow Leopard 10.8.6. I've heard ML may be too much for this iMac. I would appreciate anyone's advice.

    I want to install Mountain Lion on my 2008 iMac. My current OS is Snow Leopard 10.8.6 and there is 4GB RAM. I've heard ML may be too much for this iMac and may slow it down.  Has anyone had any problems with this upgrade?

    See > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs OS X Mountain Lion requires a Mid 2007 iMac or newer, and your iMac can run Mountain Lion without any problem. 4 GB of memory are enough for Mountain Lion, but if you are going to use heavier applications, maybe you will need more RAM
    Before upgrading, you must make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, and check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Correct forum for this issue?

    I just ordered a new MAC PRO; I'm currently on a PowerPC. I use Office X. Since it doesn't work on Intel I just ordered Office 2008. Just found out that all my VBA macros for Excel won't work!
    Is there a forum here that is appropriate for this issue? I have used Applescript. I have both sheet specific macros and global macros. I've pulled down Excel2004AppleScriptRef.pdf which contains over 460 pages of detail. I need some basic high level guidance re assigning macros to buttons etc. I also found (I think) that standard Excel functions are not accessible via Excel2004AppleScript but there is a workaround??
    Any help re the correct discussion forum or other forums would be appreciated. I know I'm not the only one with this heartburn.

  • May be wrong forum, but I am desperate for help

    I recently purchased 4 Mac Pro's for our graphics department. Our network infrastructure in all Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory.
    When setting up the mac pro's I did NOT use the directory utility. What are the benefits of using the directory utility and connecting to my active directory domain? The users that have the mac pro's do not have any group policies, so other then that, is there any reason why i should set them up in directory utility?
    Now for the thing that I need help with ASAP. Connecting to our file servers. Currently I have the users using the side bad in Leopard to connect to our file server, and they are 'connecting as' there username in which they are set up with in active directory (old windows login), and everything connects fine, though does cause some frustration at times where we will be connected yet none of the folders are there. We have to disconnect, and reconnect. I want the users to be able to access the file server without having to log in. I know I can save the login info to the keychain, but for secure reasons, I prefer not to do that. If I use directory utility, and set there user up and have them login using there active directory credentials, will that allow them to connect to the file server without using the connect as option? And apart of this, how can have the file server connect at login?
    Thanks for any help.
    Computers:
    Mac Pro with 10.5
    Windows 2003 Server environment

    The problem that you are having with the file servers access is the very reason you would want to setup active directory integration. The users will use Single-sign-on to access the servers and will login to the Mac Pro's using their AD credentials this will prevent you from storing the credentials in a keychain as well as provided transparent access to resources.
    As for your auto-connect at login, since these are Mac Pro's you should not need any i then statements because they are not laptops. Hope this helps some.

  • Is this the right forum for this question

    Aloha all,
    I'm really new to photoshop...so some might ask why I'm trying such a complicated project...I'm asking myself the same query.
    I'm an underwater videographer and I'm trying to make my own web pages.  This is what I want to do...create a web page that has a series of 25 boxes of equal pixel dimensions (144 x 108), within a grid space that's 720 x 540 pixels.
    In the center box I want the text "ENTER".  When the text is mouse clicked, I want the action to take me to page 2.  Within each of the remaining 24 boxes, I want 24 of my video clips that range in time from 4-10 sec.playing on a loop.  Each clip is an MPEG4 file and has 1440 x 1080 resolution.
    Thus far I've created the grid space and the 25 boxes.  Each box is in its own layer.  The center box has the word "ENTER" and I have it sized, colored, shaded and hilighted to my satisfaction.  The background behind the TEXT is grey, the background in each box is checkerboard.  I'm using the "WEB" workspace.
    My questions are
    1) how do I make the text react to a mouse click,
    2) how do I get my clips to show up in each box.
    Can you just send me to the training lessons or help text that will begin to guide me thru my maze.
    Thanks

  • Issues with new Ipod, & questions Ive searched the forum for with no luck!

    Hi everyone!
    Just got a brand new Ipod Touch 8G, used to have a used 16G but it finally broke. So since I bought this one brand new I actually decided to register it with Itunes under my email, unlike the last one which someone gave me and I could never get to let me sign in. I also JUST changed banks, and dont have the CC yet 4 the new one so I tried using Paypal as my registration payment type for Itunes, even went into Paypal and added ALL my new bank routing numbers, AND put a little cash into Paypal. At first this seemed to work fine with Itunes, it let me finish signing up and even let me start downloading a few free things, THEN I went into my separate paypal account window to remove an OLD prepaid Netspend card in case anyone charged the old card (trust me prepaid cc are a scam!) it wouldnt take my money from the bank thru paypal. AS SOON as i removed the card, Itunes stopped downloading my free stuff, and told me I had to verify payment information, took me to the main Itunes screen, where i again chose Paypal, only this time it took me right into Paypal to where u go to add a credit card and it told me I NEEDED to add a credit or debit card to paypal! WHY? It had worked fine, I have money on the account and a BANK ACCOUNT attatched!
    *So i decided to just work on copying my music from my computer to the Ipod since I couldnt get Itunes working. This is where I have a few questions, have searched here cant really find the info so here goes...
    first of all since I'm sure someone will ask what VERSION I have, WHERE the heck do you find this info? Cause all I know is its a brand new 8G Touch, it says nothing on the box about a version, when I access my General Settings on the Ipod, and go to About it says Version 4.0. So i guess thats my version even tho people on here have said there is nothing that high for the 8G?
    **Second, i have been trying to find a better way to organize my music. I KNOW i can simply go to Music, Artist, pick the band then hit shuffle, BUT I am a big fan of playlists, I like my music to play in a certain way usually. But I have some artists that I have HOURS of music for, Im not sure i understand how I can change exactly what songs play by this artist, in a certain order for that time? I'm guessing I need to use my actual Itunes computer screen to do this? Right now I just have all my songs by an artist under a playlist with their name.. However, I am more than willing to sacrifice some of my longer playlists with just one artist in them if ANYONE thinks that it would help free up ANY more space? I have seen quotes from Apple and such that say the 8G should be able to hold around 1700 songs, of course i know this is a rough estimate, as some songs are longer, but I havent put THAT much on it, under my General/About tab it says 360 songs, and I removed ALL my pics from it cause i have a lot, and STILL I have already supposedly filled up 3.73GB, and this bring me to my next big issue-
    **WHY does it claim to be 8G but my capacity now says its just 6.83!? I mean I havent added anything but music yet, and I planned on getting some of the free apps n such, but at this rate I wont have the space! I know 6.83 isnt far from 8, but still I feel cheated...does it have anything to do with the UPDATED version of the software that Apple convinced me to update RIGHT after I had JUST installed the Ipod? Cause it took forever then it said it was RESTORING my Ipod, and it told me on Itunes that it was restoring my music from backup! Why would it have erased all content during a basic upgrade without even telling me? Is there any way to uninstall that update and get back the memory it took up? And do these backup files take up space like on a normal computer? what about under settings where it says something about condense? I just think I must be doing something wrong cause 8G and 16G arent THAT vastly different,but the old touch I had had a WHOLE BUNCH more music on it PLUS 1000s of pics, PLUS some Apps, and wasnt nearly full, this one I added my fav artists and its nearly full?
    Well, thanks a bunch for anyone who stuck with me there...I'm not tech stupid I promise lol, I'm a 26 yr old college student and have even worked tech support before, but i admit I'm not at all familiar with the Apple software, system or much beyond the basics...I just spent nearly 200 on this thing, and it IS a great toy, I just want to be able to fully use it!
    Oh also, ive heard two things, that you DONT need a "sensor" seperate thing for the Nike app with the Touch, and that yes you DO...any idea? If i DO need to BUY something else I do not want it and can I remove it to free up space??
    thanks a bunch eagerly awaiting any answers...might have to call Apple today about the Itunes payment registration thing...

    Welcome to the discussions,
    WHY does it claim to be 8G but my capacity now says its just 6.83
    The size of you HD is calculated binary when it comes to use it, instead of decimal when companies want to advertise there products. 1 KB=1024Byte instead of 1000KB as advertised by the manufacturer. In your case this reduces the actual available space by the factor of 0.93 or approx. 7,4GB.
    If you have an "other" section in your color bar showing the different types of data on your ipod, which is bigger than 500MB, this could be a sign of corrupt data caused by a sync that did not complete or copied damaged data. A restore will reduce the size to normal again.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you restore your ipod, iTunes will install the newest firmware first and then add back your data and settings from your last backup if you choose to "restore from backup". Every backup is replaced by the following one, so make sure to include this folder in your backup routine in case you'll have to go back.
    You can check the location and size of the backup folder for your ipod here:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    copied from: About backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Sorry, I can't answer your payment question, I have never used your kind of setup, maybe you can find something useful here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

  • May be wrong forum but how do I portforward?

    Okay so I have netgear and my laptop is getting NAT:Moderate and I would like to switch it to open. Now I drop sometimes that is why I want to open my port. I put the netgear router on dmz on the fios but it's still not getting opened. I even portforwarded on both the routers and its not open. The actiontec can open itself but you see I have netgear+actiontec so how do I get my ports open?

    Can't advise you on how to port forward the Netgear.  Check the manufacturer's documention.
    Actiontec port forward instructions can be found here:
    http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16968
    Some questions:
    Which router is primary?
    If Netgear is primary, why are you even trying to port forward the Actiontec?
    How are the routers connected?  LAN-to-WAN or LAN-to-LAN?
    "The actiontec can open itself"  What does that mean?
    How are you determining the ports are not open?  The game must be running and accepting connections for the ports to be considered open. See my response here: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Port-forwarding-woes/td-p/589945

  • Not sure if this is the right forum for this.. disk drive icon on desktop

    for msn messanger. Im a new PC to mac user (3 DAYS OLD)and yesterday tried to install msn messanger. I double clicked the install file and it made a diskdrive icon in white. When I dragged the icon to the trash (msn already installed), the trash bin turned into an eject icon. I emptied the trash (like I would on windows) and the msn icon on the dock vanished. I reinstalled it and this time there was a question mark on the msn logo. So msn now works but I have an icon which I dont need on my desktop. Does this happen with all installs?

    Ok this isn't working. Im on the mac so I'll tell you exactly whats going on. I downloaded msn messanger mac version 5.1.1. The download window opens up and it downloads. I close that window. There is still a window open called "Microsoft messanger" with the icon (blue/green people). If I double click that or drag that icon to my dock bar msn opens up.
    At this point I have the messanger511.dmg file sitting on my desktop. If I quit msn the icon stays in the dock. If I eject the dmg file or put it to the trash bin, when I goto open up msn from the dock there is a question mark.
    This has been my whole point. It seems if I remove that .dmg file the program doesnt work.. am I missing something?
    ok update... I read back a few replies about the question mark thing...I had to drag the icon to the application folder as it wasnt in there. At that point I could eject the image file and everything seems ok..however when I start msn from the dock, the white disk drive shows up in finder where the macHD and the network icons are. I can eject it and it goes away but this shows up everytime I start msn..
    should I of had to do this?

  • Is this the right forum for this? Using a foot pedal to control apps?

    My girlfriend is doing medical transcription - she listens to audio and she types. People who do this, often use a footpedal to play, pause, rewind, etc. while transcribing. I'm hoping to set her up on the Mac to do this, there are pedals which are Mac compatible, but I don't know what their limitations are, or what is possible.
    I found some typical USB pedals, examples here:
    http://www.altoedge.com/pedals/
    ...and I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck using them? Can they be configured to control certain menu functions in any application? such as using the keyboard shortcuts in the System Preferences to control certain commands in other applications? I'm thinking that I could make great use of a pedal like this to control any audio player - iTunes, Garage Band, or a 3rd party app I bought and love, "The Amazing Slow-Downer" so that I can use this to practice with the guitar, playing along with recordings, similar to how she would do the exact same thing while listening to recordings and typing.
    I hope this is the right forum to bring this up. I don't have the pedal, I'm thinking of getting one, but I was hoping to get input from someone before springing for one. Thanks!!

    Well, this took me a while to get solved, but it is indeed solved.
    I tried USB Overdrive and it could, and perhaps should work, but apparently it will not. When adding a device, it seems that USB Overdrive is not set up to handle any input device that does not register itself as either a Mouse or a Joystick. The VEC USB Footpedal that I'm using is "Device type: Other".
    So, I went for Quickeys. And Quickeys can do it all. It did recognize the device, I was able to assign it to the scope of the particular audio playback app I wanted to use (Amazing Slow Downer OS X - which is truly amazing. Any musicians reading this who are looking for a way to learn pieces by ear, this does it better than anything else I've seen yet).
    I created a shortcut in Quickeys for the ASD app; added the middle button of the foot pedal as the trigger; set one step, entering 'space bar' as the step (which toggles playback, similar to many audio players).
    It all worked.
    Quickeys is very confusing and seemingly featured with an endless array of options. Enter at your own risk. Ask me for help. This was the only way to get it done that I could find. I did write to the author of USB Overdrive asking him to please support additional devices as I did find some traction from gamers who like to use a foot pedal in addition to other input devices. There was a Windows-only management utility for the foot pedal that was intended for custom input, assigning the buttons to any keyboard input or mouse click event. It would be nice to have a simple and easy to use utility like this. But, Quickeys did do the job.
    Thanks for your help, you guys!!!

  • Question on what to use for this task

    Sorry new to this and I could really use some help.
    I have view that has and ID number, a Min and Max value and a TotalCount columns. I then have a table that has an ID number and an Email address.
    What I need to do is find all the records in the first table that the TotalCount value is either under the Min or over the Max. If so I then need to grab the Email address from the other table that has the corresponding ID number and then send an email to
    the email address I got from the second table stating that the ID number has gone over the Max or under the Min.
    This seems so simple yet I can't figure our how to do it in SSRS as an SSIS Package.
    Please help.
    Thank you

    your SSIS package will have following flow
    1. Create a Execute SQL Task which will have the below query
    SELECT EmailAddress
    FROM Table2 t
    WHERE EXISTS (
    SELECT 1
    FROM table1
    WHERE ID = t.ID
    AND (TotalCount < Min
    OR TotalCount > Max)
    Use Resultset option as Full resultset and map the resultset EmailAddress to a object variable (@[User::EmailAddressList]) created in SSIS
    2. Use a ForEach Loop with ADO enumerator which points to above variable
    Inside a loop add a variable [@User::EMailAddress]) to get iterated values
    3. Add a Sent Mail task inside loop and set an expression for ToLine property to point to the variable [@User::EMailAddress] so that it sents email to email address specified.
