Microsoft Excel 2010

Hi,
I have an issue with excel, letters of a particular column covert into numbers, once i save the excel and then reboot the system.

Looks like you have a reference problem. Do you run some macro's and then hit save?
When you go to File-Options-Formula you will see the options to check the referencetype R1C1 which is the option to show column numbers instead if column letters. Maybe some macro is seeting the reference to that checkbox?

The goal is to synchronize an excel sheet using Microsoft Excel 2010 with Sharepoint 3.0

The goal is to synchronize an excel sheet using Microsoft Excel 2010 with Sharepoint 3.0. We have already installed an add-in (Excel 2007 Add-in: Synchronizing Tables with SharePoint Lists) that was supposed
to help the synchronization of excel to Sharepoint, but it did not work. We would like to synchronize information about a calendar from excel to Sharepoint 3.0, so every time a change is made in excel it automatically updates in Sharepoint.

ootb, changes in excel don't sync with a SharePoint list, the other way around is possible.

Problem accessing informix ODBC 32 bit System DSN using Microsoft Query external data sources in Microsoft Excel 2010

Hi all...
I'm hoping if anybody could help me. I'm using Microsoft Excel 2010 + Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I've installed the informix client sdk for odbc drivers to create odbc 32 bit connection. Before this, i had successfully installed in
another Windows 7 Professional 64 bit PC the informix client drivers and configured the odbc connection for it. During that time, i can access the 32 bit ODBC using the microsoft query from the Microsoft Excel 2007. But now...in the new PC, even though i had
successfully installed the informix client and manage to configure the 32 bit ODBC for it, my Microsoft Excel 2010 can't call/recognise the 32 bit ODBC connection as if the Microsoft Excel 2010 only called the 64 bit ODBC. Is it in Microsoft excel 2007
it is possible to recognise the 32 bit ODBC but the Microsoft Excel 2010 can't? Is there any solution if my Microsoft Excel 2010 still want to use the 32 bit ODBC connection.

Hi,
Excel 2007 has only 32-bit since 64-bit applications for Office are available only for Office 2010. Thus, you can use
32 bit ODBC between Microsoft Excel 2007 & Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Now, you are using Microsoft Excel 2010 64 bit & Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, thus, you must install the 64 bit ODBC drive. If you still need to use 32
bit odbc drive, please use 32 bit Excel 2010. Here is the detailed steps:

Microsoft excel 2010 starter

My computer came with Microsoft excel 2010 pre installed, all was working well till recently, I was able to reinstall, however I get a message that I have a licensing problem. I can't open any of my saved work on excel, or word. I did have a computer virus and had to restore my computer back to original state.

Hi:
I have zipped up and attached the Office 2010 Starter installation file under attachments below.
I have used this to successfully reinstall Office 2010 Starter in the past.
Since the program is free for use, there shouldn't be any issues with licensing as long as it is installed on a qualifying PC with W7.
In order to use the file, be connected to the internet, download, unzip and double click to run the file.
It will contact the Microsoft Office 2010 Starter download site and reinstall the program for you--both Word Starter and Excel Starter.

Microsoft Excel 2010 has overlaying, duplicate screens

My clients Microsoft Excel 2010 is showing two copies of the page on top of each other. This shows a confusing image. I scanned his hard drive and it is good. He is operating on a Dell E5420 with 4GB of RAM. I would attach a screenshot
but MS won't let me until my account is verified.

Re: seeing double
Maybe there is a picture of the sheet on top of the actual sheet.
Try clicking each of the "sheets" and pressing the delete key.

"Document Not Saved" Microsoft Excel 2010 SP1

We have a remote office which has a 2mb WAN link, The users in the remote office have a variety of Office installs from 2003 to 2010 SP1.
When attempting to open an excel file over the WAN link (The file is on our main shared drive in Sydney) they can open and edit the document however when it comes to saving they receive "Document not saved" and the original document is gone and a .tmp file
remains where the original file was on the network drive/shared folder.
If they then hit save a second time it saves correctly and the document is in the correct .xls format.
The excel files do have some funky tables etc in them and are a few mb's in size, however we have the same issue with a new excel document with only one word written in it.
Does anyone know what would be causing this issue?
We have tried added NetworkResiliency and PivotTableNetworkResiliency as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291204.
We have tried removing certain hot fixes from Microsoft as mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458.
We added the share to be a trusted site.
There are no errors in Event Viewer.
I have found another few threads on similar issues with no fix:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/f559b061-b98f-4b33-ab8a-d1a41d2e8cb8/
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeappcompat/thread/4af962a0-d883-4e82-8995-7eb766d6c720
We do have a RiverBed at the remote office and one at the site in Sydney which is for network optimization. On the RiverBed with have all CIFS ports added and QoS marking done so it should be optimized.
Any assistance with how to fix this annoying issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

We're having the same exact issue in our office where we just installed a new Riverbed Steelhead as well... only happening in that office as well...User opens a document on a network share that the rest of the company works from day to day, they save 10
or 20 minutes later and BAM... "There has been a network or file permissions error. The network connection may be lost", then a non-hidden *.tmp file is then created in the same network directory as the actual file and the original file doesn't get
written to, you click [OK] on the error and then try to save again and it magically works...and you're left with a messy TMP file as well in the directory now. I doubt it's related to antivirus, definitely not firewall, reinstalling/repairing office and tweaking
settings doesn't help, I agree it has nothing to do with locking files or read-only files as they're plain old word docs and excel files...MAYBE it has to do with the Riverbed WANOP appliance but either way... don't you love how this thread just randomly died
with no solutions? :'( Thanks Micro$oft ;)
{Edit} Oh! And one last thing...this MIGHT help steer someone in the right direction in the future... there could be a problem related to your network filer such as a NetApp appliance, EMC, Netgear etc where there is an SMB version mis-match or a bug of some
kind requiring you to apply a patch your storage device in order to fix this type of issue.

Microsoft Excel 2010 alt-tab causes part of screen to freeze

One of my clients is having the issue above. When he opens 2 different Excel applications, and starts doing usual work, which involves copy-paste from one Excel to the other one, and changes between them using alt-tab, then all of a sudden part of one Excels
screen freezes and you can see the cells being at the wrong place. When you minimize the window and then come back to it, then it's fixed, or when you scroll down and back up it will fix itself. I have found other people having the same problem on the forum,
but the only thing I haven't tried is getting a new graphics card installed instead of the Intel HD one. I even tried uninstalling the Intel HD driver, letting Windows use some default driver, but the problem persisted even then.
The machine has Windows 7 installed, Office 2010. Hardware is standard Lenovo T420.
Since I've tried everything and the problem is still not fixed I'm hoping for some more ideas.
PS: I'm 100% sure not using alt-tab would fix the issue, or reverting to Office 2007, but those fixes are not acceptable for my client.

check out thread below, it suggests this thing:
I experienced the exact thing you are describing and it was very annoying. I eventually found an
option under File - Options - Advanced, in the Display category, called "Show all windows in the Taskbar". Uncheck this and alt-tab will stop trying to interpret each spreadsheet in the same instance of Excel as a different application. Then
to switch between spreadsheets in the same excel instance, use ctrl-tab instead.

Here's an Odd one: Microsoft Excel 2010 Workbook "randomly" Becoming Protected

Either there are gnomes in our servers, someone is lying, or some sort of glitch is causing this issue (and honestly I'm not even sure which is most likely), but here's my story:
User is working on an excel workbook. This user accesses this file all the time with little to no problems. One day a week or two ago the user finds the workbook is password protected, but doesn't even know how to do this, much less remembers locking it.
My boss restores a backup of said document that is not password protected. User is able to access file, edit it, save it, etc.
The next day that same file (and only that file) is locked for the second time. We use a back door method and save a new copy with a new filename. User edits file, saves it, etc.
The next day that same file (and yes, only that file) is locked for the third time.
Am I crazy? Is someone lying to me? Do gnomes really go inside computers and wreak havoc to make me lose my sanity?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I have the file and plan on saving an unlocked copy locally to see if the issue presents itself again.
Windows 7 computer running Office 2010; Windows 2012 server

Have you got over this odd issue yet?
If this workbook is saved in a shared drive, maybe you need to track who uses the excel file.

Microsoft Excel cannot access the file "-". There are several possible reasons. Windows Server 2008 R2 with Microsoft Office 2010

I have a problem with starting the Excel Application under a particular user (service account).
I try to schedule this C# script through an application X (not Windows Task Scheduler. And this
application will always use a service account to run services on the server). If I run the C# script in
command prompt under the same user, it runs. Under the application X, which uses the exact same
user, to initiate the C# script, it fails to open the Excel application (not sufficient permission?).
This script calls application.Workbooks.Open(<ExcelFileName>,0,false,Type.missing....). At this line
of code, it gives the following error:
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file "...". There are several possible reasons:
-The file name or path does not exist.
-The file is being used by another program.
-The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
I tried all the methods that I found online as follow:
Create directory "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop" (for 64 bit Windows) or "C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop" (for 32 bit Windows).
Changed the DCOM config for the Microsoft Excel application to include this user for Local/Remote Launch and Access.
Enabled all macros in Excel application and set the Trust Center.
Add the user to have full control on all folders that contain the Excel file.
Under DCOM
config, Microsoft Excel Application, if I modify the Identity tab to check on "This User" and enter the username/password to let Excel always run under that user. Then the application runs perfectly. However, other users can't run the excel application
on their own with the following error: "Cannot use object linking and embedding". If I check "Use the launching user", then Excel can't be launched. No errors in the logs or events anywhere to check.
Yet, still the same error. I think it's permission but I am not sure where and what to do for this to work.
Now, normally, when I run this excel report, I can double-click on the file and it'd automatically run,
save the new parameters into the current file and generate a new excel file (with date attached to the
file name). That means there is a change (save) to the original file.
Environment: Windows Server 2008 R2 and running Microsoft Excel 2010.
I appreciate all your help!

I am wondering if this has anything to do with having the user log into Excel.
In point #5 above: Under DCOM config, Microsoft Excel Application, if I modify the Identity tab to check on "This User" and enter the username/password to let Excel always run under that user. Then the application runs perfectly. However, other
users can't run the excel application on their own with the following error: "Cannot use object linking and embedding". If I check "Use the launching user", then Excel can't be launched. No errors in the logs or events anywhere to check.
Because running with the launching user proposes an user to run the Excel application. However, I do not think there is any where that we can pass in the password for this user to Excel. However, this Excel has all the permissions to Excel application as
well as the folders that have the Excel files.
Please help!
Thank you!

What algorithm does Excel 2010 use for Pseudo Random Number Generation (MT19937?)

Does Excel 2010+ use the Mersenne Twister (MT19937) algorithm for Pseudo Random Number Generation (PRNG), implemented by the RAND() function?
This has been a nagging question for some time now, with "hints" that it indeed does. However, a relatively thorough search turns up no definitive documentation. The most direct indication is perhaps given by Guy Melard [Ref 9] where
he tests Excel 2010's RAND() function using the Crush battery of tests in TestU01 by L'Ecuyer & Simard. Melard references a "semi-official" indication that Microsoft did indeed implement MT19937 for the RAND() function in
Excel 2010, but this reference no longer seems to be available. http://office.microsoft.com/enus/excel-help/about-solver-HP005198368.aspx?pid=CH010004571033.
The other references below [Ref 1-10] document the history of the statistical suitability of the PRNG and probability distributions in various versions of Excel. This includes the Wichmann-Hill PRNG implementations supposedly (arguably) used in
Excel 2003 & 2007 for random number generation. But still, we have no answer as to which PRNG algorithm is used in
Excel 2010 (and 2013 for that matter).
Microsoft indicates that RAND() has been improved in Excel 2010; Microsoft states, "...and the RAND function now uses a new random number algorithm." (see https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Whats-New-Changes-made-to-Excel-functions-355d08c8-8358-4ecb-b6eb-e2e443e98aac).
But no details are given on the actual algorithm. This is critical for Monte Carlo methods and many other applications.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I found the same KB article:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/828795
This was introduced (according to the article) in Excel 2003. Perhaps the references in notes 2 and 3 might help.
The article describes combining the results of 3 generators, each similar to a Multiply With Carry (MWC) generator, but with zero carry. MWC generators do very well on the Diehard battery of randomness tests (mentioned in your references), and have
very long periods. But using zero carry makes no sense to me.
Combining the three generators only helps if the periods of the 3 are relatively prime (despite what the article implies). Then the period of the result will be the product of the 3 periods. But without knowing the theory behind these generators, I have
no idea what the periods would be. The formulas for MWC generators fail here.

Is it possible to Install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 if we are running Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit?

So we are running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, Version 14.0.7015.1000
(32-bit)
This is what is installed via our Network and Network licensing.
I am trying, in vain, to read and write a .xlsx file via a C# Edit Script in a SSIS Package. And I have tried using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
And this tells me that this has not been installed. So when I go and try and get the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64-bit, which would allow me to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and allow me to read, write, and process this .xlsx file, it tells me
I cannot install it because I already have 32-bit installed and it wants me to un-install Microsoft Office 2010. Why? Because it is 32-bit? And I can't do that because this is what we have and what we're licensed for and from what I've read seems to be the
industry standard because most software vendors are ill equipped to process 64-bit right now.
So my question is this...How can I use a C# Edit Script to read and process a .xlsx file? Because if I try using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
It then tells me that the file is not in that format.
Please excuse me for asking this question in a couple of different ways out here but I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to get an answer as to how I can process a .xlsx file with a C# script and which driver to use that will make this work.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP85

Hi ITBobby85,
If the excel version in the Connection Manager is Microsoft Excel 2010 (.xlsx), we should use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider.
We can't install 32bit and 64bit parts of office on the same machine. We will get an error as you said when we run the installer to install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable in the machine where a 32bit version
of Microsoft Office installed. To fix this issue, please download and install the 32bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with the link below:

Unable to save MS Word and Excel 2010 and 2013 onto the network share

Hi,
I have read similar cases, but did not work out on the problems we face.
We are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 and it seems like only this combination will encounter saving problem on the networe share (but local / removable disks are fine) -
Other combinations:
Windows XP and Office 2010 - no problem
Windows XP and Office 2003 - no problem
Windows 7 and Office 2003 - no problem
In Microsoft Word 2010, when saving a new document, it will save but create a 0KB file in the network share drive and I notice the blue menu bar of the Microsoft Word 2010 still displays "Document1" instead the new file name.
And only when I click save icon or exit button, Word actually prompts another "Save As" dialog to save the file, and as a result, I have to save the same file and answer MS Word prompt to replace the existing file - and this is the real time that
the document and its contents really got saved. And the blue menu bar then displays the actual file name.
In Microsoft Excel 2010 (also Powerpoint I suppose so), in saving a new excel file, after typing in a file name for the new file in the network share location, it will prompt a dialog box indicating the "File is currently in use"
Similar to MS Word, it will still create a 0KB file in the network share, and only a second time saving and replace the 0KB file, is able to save the file again.
I have tried a lot of ways from Safe Mode, Disable Add-in, Added Trusted Locations to the network share in MS Word and Excel, Uninstall Antivirus software, redo NTFS permission on the network share server folder, etc but the problem cannot
be solved.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Daryl

Thank you Max.
I have tried various storage configurations and share the folders out in Windows Servers and grant user accesses with AD.
These drives configuration involves iSCSI drives, using NAS drive, using internal SAS RAID drives in Windows 2008 servers, all having the same errors, but the latter one was having the most errors almost every first time the users
save their files (includes saving from email attachments), the files will get 0KB.
I have tested LAN cables, switch LAN points in panels and switches, and comes to no avail.
I have patched with the latest office updates (the latest being Office 2010 SP2) also to no avail.

Currently my operating system is windows 7 64 bit os service pack 1
i am the error msg which am getting .
Microsoft powerquery for excel(x64) requires the 64bit version of microsoft excel 2010 sp1 or microsoft excel 2013
plase first install the 64 bit version of microsft excel 2010 sp1 or microsoft excel 2013

If you are running 32-bit Office, then you must install the 32-bit version of Power Query even if you are running 64-bit Windows.

Thousand separator in MS Excel 2010

I recently upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2010 and I am having an issue in the formatting of my numbers. The thousands separator (comma in my country) is only being applied to the last thousand bucket but all other thousands above that are not being separated.
For example, 1,000,000 (one million) is being displayed as 10,00,000
I have read through hundreds of questions and answers in various forums but no one else seems to be having this issue. At my company, every person who has been transitioned to Excel 2010 is experiencing the same problem. I have tried searching and changing
settings, advanced settings as well, but nothing seems to work. Please help me.
I am a financial controller and my reports are very cumbersome when i cannot read the numbers easily.
Many thanks.
