My Excel with PowerPivots acts weird, it hangs when i try to change font color

Hi 
I am facing a weird issue using PowerPivot in my workbook, there is a worksheet named Charts in my workbook and all the charts i am using resides in that worksheet. Whenever i try to change the font color in that sheet, my excel's color palette goes blur
and then everything just freezes and turns black. This problem is happening only with Charts worksheet, when i try to change the color in other sheets, it works just, the problem is only with Charts sheet. File
size is 16 MB, there are just 10 pivot tables with some calculations and some calculated fields. There are no add-ins other than PowerPivot. 
Thanks,
Shanker

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Do you receive any error message?
Which Excel version are you using?  Excel 2013 or other?
Which workbook format are you using? XLS or XLSX?
Are you performing any specific task?
According to your description, this issue seems only occur with the special worksheet "Charts".
Firstly, I recommend we copy all of the content to a new/blank Excel file to test.
If it works fine, this issue might be caused by the "Charts" workbook itself. We'd better check the "Charts" workbook. Or re-build the file with a new workbook.
If it still makes Excel hang with a new file, this issue might due to the content. Please check the content first.
Secondly, we could follow below KB to troubleshoot this issue:
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
Thirdly, if the issue still exists, we may try to collect the Event log and App crash dump file to do advanced troubleshooting.
Event log:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
App crash dump file:
First enable app crash dump collection by copying following words into notepad, saving it as dump.reg and importing
it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\localdumps\EXCEL.EXE]
"DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,63,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,64,00,75,\
  00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00
"DumpCount"=dword:00000010
"DumpType"=dword:00000001
"CustomDumpFlags"=dword:00000000
Then, open Excel
to repro the issue. If crash issue appeared, please find the crashdump file under c:\.
To further help you, please upload this file into Skydrive and shared the link here.
Also, you can try to analyze dump by yourself if you would like to：

    Hey there cutyscar,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect to your router either by Wi-Fi, or ethernet. I would recommend trying the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
    Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1317
    Start with this step, and work your way down as needed:
    Check all cables and power supplies
    Make sure all the cables related to the modem are plugged in and firmly inserted. This includes the modem's power cord, the cable from the modem to the computer, and the cable from the modem to the outlet. To be sure a connector is properly inserted, disconnect and reconnect it. Check to see if the cables have been cut, chewed, or otherwise damaged.
    If you have any hubs or routers, check their cables and power supplies. If you have more than one power supply available for a type of hub or router, try swapping the power supplies. A defective power supply may affect network traffic.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • XP hangs when I try to play a .mov file

    Windows XP consistently hangs when I try to play a .mov file using QuickTime 7.4.1. There is no way to regain control of the system without powering off the computer. I've seen a number of postings indicating that people who have RAID disk systems are having similar problems, but I have an ordinary EIDE drive. Also, my .mov files are typically small (less than 40 MB). Device manager shows that all devices are working, and I've made sure that I have the latest graphics and sound drivers installed. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • System hanging when i try to display or change or create a function module?

    Hi Experts,
    My system is hanging when i try to display or change or create a FM using SE37 transaction. I am able to execute SE37 transaction but when i give a FM name which is already existing, the system is getting hanged up. If i give a FM which is not present in the system and try to display it, it gives an error "FM does not exists". I have unistalled the SAP logon and reinstalled it again and restarted my system but still this problem is encountered.
    Can any one please help me in this issue??
    Thanks a lot in Advance!
    Regards,
    Lakshman.

    Hi Prasad,
    Go to se38 transaction and look at  UTILITIES-> Settings-> ABAP editor-> Change front-end editor to old(if it is new) and check once. Hope this solves your problem becuase this is what i have done for my problem and let me know whether the problem has been solved.

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key.  Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
    Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
    Good luck,

  • Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

    Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • Initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.  When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer.  What gives?

    When I set up Adobe reader on my computer to be able to download books from a library and then transfer to my Nook e-reader, I initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.  When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer.  What gives?

    This is pretty surprising and wierd that even Reader 10.1.1 is crashing on your system. It works pefectly for me.
    Would it be possible for you to get the crash dump, and upload it, so that I can have a look at the same.
    Download PROCDUMP from <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900.aspx> and extract it to a folder, say, c:\temp\procdump.exe
    Open cmd prompt and type "cd c:\temp".
    Launch the browser and open the PDF.
    Open task manager, sort processed by name. Two AcroRd32.exe instances  should have been launched. Note the PID (a small integer like 5588) corresponding to the AcroRd32.exe with the higher memory usage; this is the process that must be crashing. Note this PID.
    On the cmd window, type "procdump -e -ma 5588 c:\temp\01.dmp" (replace 5588 with the actual PID of the process noted in Step 4). Procdump will now wait for the aoolication to crash. If it throws a EULA, accept it.
    Perform your steps to cause the crash.
    Procdump will have created a dump file at "c:\temp\01.dmp". Zip it up (since it will be 100s of MBs otherwise) and share with me.
    Thanks in advance for all your help

  • Firefox stop to work in one time,and i have to restart all because ff dont wor when i try to change page with mouse

    firefox stop to work in one time,and i have to restart all because ff dont wor when i try to change page with mouse

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
