Excel14.4.7 (Excel for Mac 2011); can't sort data

Upgraded to Excel for Mac 2011 (v.14.4.7) and cannot sort data. Have read instructions but keep getting error message "missing column/row name"
Tried doing it with box checked "My list has headers" and with the box unchecked....same non-result and error message.
I'm doing something wrong, obviously but can't figure it out. I am totally mystified & frustrated!
any ideas????
Thank you

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.

A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

I second LibreOffice as it's the most recent fork, however NeoOffice and OpenOffice will also work.
Just say No money to Redmond!
Also the old Ready Set Go! will be having a Lion version out soon.
It's a low cost page layout program (like Indesign but without the high price) and can make booklets etc better, import the excel grpahics from LibreOffice.

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:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

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.

Office for Mac 2011 - can't open old files

I am currently on Mac OS X v10.6.8. I recently installed Office for Mac 2011. I cannot open some of my old files. I think the ones that use the old file names, e.g. .doc and .xls, rather than .docx and .xlsx.
Can anyone explain how I can open these files in my Office for Mac 2011?
Many thanks!

The free LibreOffice will open them, and it's the most cross platform office program (Linux, OS X and Windows versions)

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:

I need Excel for Mac. Can I get this for free somewhere?

I have Tiger, not sure if that makes any difference. I need Excel to check my work schedule but it would be a real pain to have to buy it.
Mac version for FREE anywhere?

NeoOffice (freeware) is equivalent to Microsoft Office. It can open Excel files, Word files & PowerPoint files. You can also create these types of files that can be opened by PC users.

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):

Add in chart for Excel in Mac 2011

is anyone aware of an add in for Excel for Mac 2011 for a Cascade Chart? (not a waterfall / bridge). An example can be seen at https://www.add-ins.com/cascade_charts.htm
The developer at this site only has the chart for PC.

Mike -
That is one of the features of my Chart Utility.

Aperture 3 and Outlook for Mac 2011

Is Apple going to update Aperture 3 so that Outlook for Mac 2011 can be selected as an alternate e-mail client?

I have just discovered the same thing - if you do a search around the topic you will find it confirmed that the only thing that will sync with Outlook for Mac is contacts.
I've just moved everything over from a PC to a Mac and so to find it not working is so frustrating.
SORT IT OUT RIM - or at least assure us you're working on it.

Office for mac 2011 /i cloud

Hi,
I thought that office for mac 2011 would be sorted in every way but I always had problems with multiple calendars and events.
I have turned off catagorie calendars and work now with just one. This seemed to solve it until I went to Mobile me when it started up all over again.So I dumped M/Me and the problem stopped again.
Now I have i cloud and here we go again ! Office reminders is now running through the last five years of all events and I am dismissing them on a daily basis ( over 2,500 so far and running)
Any ideas how to solve all this or if not solvable revert to i Cal and recommend an interpreter that will reverse engineer my contacts to a suitable format for i Cal
Regards
David

I do have a mult-user license. I realize I have posted this query in the wrong forum. I am now browsing some posts specifically related to to MS Office 2011 for Mac. One strange aspect to this problem is that Excel not only fails to function and demands a product key, but it refuses to quit, requiring a power-off reboot. It seems most likely that this is some sort of profound glitch needing a reinstall, complicated becuase I may not have saved the correct product key. I bought a paid upgrade to Office 2011 -- a three-user site license -- and that disk jacket may be with my son in Chicago. I'm about to buy a new one.

I can't use arabic with excel office for 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?

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 yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
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.
