Help with Excel Export

I have a sales report that goes to my company every month. I tried sending the report from numbers exporting it as an excel document. When my boss has tried to open it she says it's unrecognizable. She emailed it back to me and it shows that it's an unsupported version of excel so it won't let me open the document. It's due today by 5. HELP

These two things may be the cause of the unrecognizable from MS Office.
Make sure the document has the correct file extension.
Cell content that is too large for old technology.
If it is simple data then just save it as a csv file.
Even the oldest version of EXCEl can import the content.
If the report is free standing and not edited just send a PDF.
I noticed that very few of the MS users have the newer versions of office.

    2. First I want to convert the file to this format:
    60.5.7
    43.14.1
    50.4.6
    50.4.7
    51.3.15
    23.26.3
    3. And finally to export them to a file called Bookmarks.xls with the format:
    bgroup
    verses
    Default
    60.5.7, 43.14.1, 50.4.6, 50.4.7, 51.3.15, 23.26.3
    I have some 40 files that need to be converted. All have the same format but the number of rows varies. By the way I am using Excel 10.
    Your help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.

    Perhaps you can use this as starting point:
    Sub Transform()
    Dim wshS As Worksheet
    Dim wbkT As Workbook
    Dim wshT As Worksheet
    Dim r As Long
    Dim m As Long
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set wshS = ActiveSheet
    m = wshS.Range("A" & wshS.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Set wbkT = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)
    Set wshT = wbkT.Worksheets(1)
    wshT.Range("A1") = "bgroup"
    wshT.Range("B1") = "verses"
    wshT.Range("A2") = "Default"
    For r = 2 To m
    wshT.Cells(2, r) = wshS.Cells(r, 1) & "." & wshS.Cells(r, 2) & _
    "." & wshS.Cells(r, 3)
    Next r
    Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub

  • Help with Excel, please

    Would be very grateful for help with my Excel spreadsheet.
    My workbook contains 20 or so worksheets. I was trying to copy column totals across a particular sheet when it disappeared. After trying to find the missing sheet, called 'Jan 2011', and giving up, I decided as a last resort to re-create the worksheet. However, after inserting a new sheet and trying to re-name it 'Jan 2011', I get the error message that this sheet name already exists. Does anyone have any ideas on where it might be? Many thanks

    You need to post over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums.  Google will help you find them.

  • Help with excel formula

    hi,
    I need help with some excel fomulas,  I have a source file which 2 cells will continually change, I want to link this source file to an inventory file and update the information on seperate lines when the information is changed without changing the
    destination information
    is it possible or do I have to create seperate source file

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you have 2 files (A source file and an inventory file) and link the source file to inventory file. You want to retain the data in the inventory file when the source file continually change.
    If it is, there is no formula will retain the linked data after the data source changed.
    We may try the workarounds:
    1. Use import data from source file to the inventory file.
    2. Create seperate source file
    If I misunderstand, please let me know and share us more information about your demand.

  • Problem with Excel export

    Hi!
    I am trying to export data from datagrid to Excel. Export goes just fine, but the page I make the export from stops responding. I.E. pressing the export button again won't do anything. After reload (by pressing F5) page it works normally until the next export. I made a simple code example that demonstrates the problem:

                excelButton.Text = "To Excel";           
                this.Controls.Add(excelButton);      
                excelButton.Click += new EventHandler(m_button_Click);

    Hi,
             I am facing with the same issue. I think it is absolutely with Response.Clear(), which removing all the events and hence page is not reepsonding to any event.
             I have a deployed a custom- webpart in to a sharepoint site, which is consisting of a summary html table, button control and Export to Excel button. Every thing is working except events are not fired after export to excel button is clicked. The code inside the export to excel is
    Export to Excel Click event code:
    Me.Page.Response.Clear() 'clear the response before writing excel stream
    Me.Page.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" 'set the response contenttype as excel
    Me.Page.Response.Charset = String.Empty 'set response charset as string
    'get the filename to be displayed on the response stream
    'specifying the response stream as an attatchment in the header [to open the excel file in the seperate window]
    Me.Page.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=test.xls")
    'write the content on to the screen
    Me.Page.Response.Write(sbExcelString.ToString()) 'writing excel stream in the form of string
    'end the response once done [otherwise unnecessary conent will be appended at the end of the excel file]
    Me.Page.Response.End()
    I think somewhere the issue with Response.Clear or Response.End.
    As you said there is a remedy for this, but i cant use that remedy because i cannot use a new page becauce my code is entirely in to a custom control and i should not depend on any aspx page.
    Please help out in solving this issue in the same custom control click event itself.
    I think there is a solution, only thing how to attach the events when we use Response.Clear or Response.End method [but i dont know how do i do this].
    Thanks in advance for your helpful message.

  • Help with PDF export

    Hi,
    I'm a beginner with InDesign, and I need help badly. I've gone through lots of threads with no solution yet.
    Earlier today I exported an InDesign file to PDF and parts of the document with black text went to gray. It's been that way since, even in the original InDesign document. I don't know if it's just a color thing. If I change the color to red it simply looks like a "light" red. When I'm  scrolling down the page it looks black, so long as I'm holding down and scrolling. Does anyone have a solution to getting my "light" font to be rich with color again. All of my black text is gray!
    Thanks in advance.

    No, I didn't make any changes. How do I find the opacity?
    Does the opacity not show when you scroll? It may very well be the opacity, because it looks the same even in PDF. But then it doesn't explain how some parts look like opacity has changed and then some parts look completely normal.
    EDITED TO ADD: THANK YOU SO MUCH. I FIXED IT.
    It took me hours. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

  • SSRS 2012 problem with excel export

    Hello
    I updated SSRS 2005 up to SSRS 2012. When I exported report in excel (xlsx)  I got following warning :
    "We found a problem with some conent in 'filnename.xlsx'.Do you want to try to recover as much as we can? if you trust the source of this workbook,click yes"
    After Pressing Yes Button
    "REpaired Recors: Cell information from .xl.worksheets.sheet1.xml port"
    15
    0.00000000000000000000 this is in string format instead decimal
    2
    0.00000000000000000000
    This heppens if i have decimal(38.20) variable in table and record value is 0.
    To avoid this problem i must change report and use this expression
    =IIF(Fields!SomeValue.Value = 0, 0, Fields! SomeValue.Value)
    for value in report, but this is not sulution for me because we have more then hundred reports.
    Is any other solution?

    Hi LashaGurgenidze,
    The issue seems to be related to the Excel 2010 or the Excel 2007-2010 rendering extension in SSRS 2012. If possible, I suggest that you keep the Office 2010 and the SQL Server 2012 up to date, and check the issue again.
    In order to solve the issue, we can enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension in SSRS 2012, and use this render when exporting to Excel. We can modify the EXCEL render extension in the rsreportserver.config file as follows:
    <Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"/>
    Then, the Excel 2003 render extension will be available in the Export drop-down list.
    By default, the file is located in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer. Before we modify it please backup the rsreportserver.config file.

  • Help with Flash Export Process:

    Hi all.
    I'm using Flash CC on a Windows 8 system. The specs are i7-3770, 12GB RAM, 128GB SSD, etc.
    When we create flash animations, we look at the SWF and it looks fantastic. 
    YouTube unfortunately doesn't accept SWF as a valid file type.
    This is where things start to get hairy.
    Someone suggested I export PNGs as a sequence along with the audio and then add these to a program such as Adobe Premiere or After Effects.
    Is it normal for a 5 minute animation @ 30fps to take nearly 5 hours to export the PNGs?
    I'd like to think my system is strong enough to do it a bit quicker than this.
    FYI - Flash CC no longer has the ability to export as a PNG sequence (Flash Pro CS6 still has it).
    I tried using export > video in Flash CC to generate an MOV.  This creates an MOV that is 12GB+.
    I can't believe a 5 minute MOV could even become that large.  I then use the Adobe Media Encoder to compress the MOV into an MP4.  This works no problem but no matter what settings I try, the colors don't seem as vivid as the SWF.
    Everything has this slight dullness to it and I can't figure out why.  Both the MOV with the huge file size and the compressed MP4 lack the vividness in color the SWF has.
    Can anyone here share with me the export process they use for an HD animation that can be uploaded to YouTube?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    I used whatever the default settings would be as this was a fresh install of Flash CC.  I didn't make any adjustments. I just click FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT VIDEO
    It made an MOV on my Desktop.
    I'm home now and have checked some things and this is what I'm finding.
    When you are in Flash CC and click FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT VIDEO and choose a path, an MOV is made that is gigantic.  This gigantic file actually looks like it's supposed to.
    It's when I convert the MOV to MP4 where the colors become washed out.
    You can see it in the examples attached.
    One is washed out (b) and the other isn't (a). 
    The washed out one was converted from MOV to MP4 using Adobe Media Encoder CC with the "Match Source - High Bitrate" preset.
    How can I get the MP4 to come out with the same colors as the MOV?

  • Help with Saving & Exporting Files.

    Ok, so I've gone on these forums and on google trying to find a solution to this.
    But none of the solutions they had given worked...And frankly making my own is easier to find. XD
    But anyways.
    I just got Adobe Illustrator CS3 today.
    It is the portable version; I don't know if tthat would make a difference since the options are still available.
    But when I try to save the image, it doesn't matter what I try to save the file as, it says an error occured and it couldn't save the file.
    And now I'm trying to export it into Photoshop CS4 (Also Portable but again, all of the options are available.) so I can color it. (Its a inked drawing of a previously lead drawing.)
    When I try to export it; I get a message saying I do not have enough memory to save the file. Which I have a tetrabyte hardrive that isn't even nearly full.
    What's going on with saving and exporting???
    And I've read about people copying and pasting the different layers into Photoshop, if thats what I have to do, thats OK...But could someone please explain to me how I can do that?
    Thank you. :]

    No kidding and thi character is on the forum asking for help?
    BTW when you install this cracked version be aware that these very beneficent care takers of the public rights have also probably installed spyware on your computer.

  • Need help with Excel and ActiveX

    I am new with working with ActiveX, so I need some help regarding writing to a spreadsheet. Here is what I need to do:
    1.The user weighs a product on a scale.
    2.The user presses the weight button control in labview to retrieve the weight via serial port.
    3.The value gets written into a spreadsheet, starting at D2.
    4. User weighs the same product after use to get a new weight.
    5. labview goes through the same process, but this time it gets written to E2.
    6. Differential is calculated (still debating on having the user do this in Excel instead of Labview, since they have to set up a spreadsheet outside of labview for other info not related
    to weight).
    7. User close labview when finished.
    The serial comm and all is fine, but the problem I am having is trying to get a specific cell value written in D2 and then getting another value to be written in E2. For example, initial weight would be D2 and post weight would be E2, and then differential would be F2. For the next product, it would be D3, E3, F3, and so on. What would be the best way to implement this? It looked as if ActiveX would be the only real way to tell Excel where to put the data, but there is still alot I have to learn in where to find and use the proper nodes to complete the process.

  • Need help with the export settings on FCPX

    I recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro X from Express and am loving all the new features and capabilities that come with it. I just helped a friend with filming and editing a play at his school. After I finished editing it, the final MOV file is about 11 GB. Pretty big. When I try to put that file into iDVD to try to burn a DVD, my Mac begins to heat up really fast and I'm worried that this might overheat the processor.
    I've tried other means of compressing the file without losing quality, like Handbrake, but to no avail. 

    I assume, your Project is ~20min, correct?
    You exported a Master File = proRes, FCPX' internal intermediate  codec, not meant for 'distribution'.
    Choose one of the 'Apple device' presets in the share dialogue, in the drop-down options, change device to 'computer' to create a 'universal' mp4.
    concerning 'heat':
    Don't use your laptop in bed while doing tasks with high computation.
    The bottom of device is needed for cooling.
    Any 'soft' surface prohibits that…
    If Mac really gets too hot, it will automatically switch-off - no worries..........

  • Help with SVG Export

    Hey all,
    I am building a glyph font in Illustrator CS6. The problem here deals with a large number of assets, all of which need SVG exports at 32x32px (due to a strict grid definitions) for import and compiling purposes (assets need to be sequential in naming for accurate import and compile and maintenance as well). All of the AI export solutions I have seen require the SVGs to be on individual artboards or in separate layers in order to export.
    Artboards are extremely limiting as AI has that infamous 100 artboard limit.
    When it comes to the layers solution, as far as I can tell, there is no way via extensions or otherwise to take sublayers (grouped/compound paths intact; release to layers does not retain the compound paths) and turn them into top-level layers which can then, in turn, be exported as individual SVG's via this script modified by Tom Byrne.
    At this point it seems like an entirely manual process. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Am I missing something that could ease the production pain?
    Regards,
    Sean

    You might want to look at Inkscape which is a freeware product and I believe that the output is SVG.

    I am having trouble getting a good quality once I export my sequence . I have tried different formats and none of them seem to be as good as the original source video.  I am using a sonyhandycam hybrid with the quality set at 9m HQ.  What would be a good project setting and a good formant and options to export for the best quality? I would like the best quality I can get for a DVD, I sometimes do some uploading to youtube so any tips on that would be good as well.  But my main focus is best quality for a DVD.

    as long as your project is <60min, iDVD will create best quality technically possible (=using the highest bit-rate, 9MBit/s) standards allow .
    it is not a prob of the tool, but the standards. your source is 1920x1080, a DVD can contain only 720x480 ..
