PowerPivot button grayed out for existing .xlsx files

Hi,
I have been working with PowerPivot in Excel 2010 for some time now with no issue till this morning when any existing report (.xlsx) file does not allow me to go to the PowerPivot window (grayed out mostly. sometimes it shows up and when I click it the PowerPivot
window opens up and gets stuck with a message ' Preparing the Power pivot window .. please wait'). The field list is grayed out too and I am not able to add any new pivot table or chart. Existing slicers are all working. Also new .xlsx files are working (able
to open PowerPivot).
I reinstalled Office and the PowerPivot add on, tried to disable/enable add on in Excel -> Options and made sure it is not in the 'Disabled' list.
I just tried on a different computer and faced the same problem there too.
Appreciate any help or ideas you can provide.
I am using PowerPivot Version 11.0.3000.0 and Excel version 2010 14.0.6023.1000 (32 bit).
Thanks.
-Ram

  • 'Edit Project' button grayed out for a project

    I have been working on a project but it stopped working all of a sudden. The 'Edit Project' button is grayed out and won't let me click on it. The movie doesn't appear in the preview pane either.
    More information:
    iMovie 11
    Using MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard
    I have sped up some of the clips
    No other effects used
    The earlier versions of this project (which are Hi-Vis Vest 1 and Hi-Vis Vest 3 in the screenshot) are editable BUT won't play in the preview pane but will play on full screen mode.
    Anyone else have the same issue?

  • FDM Import button grayed out for ONLY 1 period

    Hello experts,
    I want to import a text file to HFM via FDM. I chose the current POV (period, location,..) and go to the upload tab. What's a suprise, my import button is gray and i can not import my text file. I tried to change to other Period (previous and next period) and my button work well.
    Why does problem happen only this period and not others ? have i missed something ? Have you already had this issues ?
    Thank you in advance for help.
    Regards

    Problem solved : there is a mistake in my period description (in "Control tables" section) ==> system does not recognize the period so it doesnt allow the import data.

  • Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?

    Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out? 
    Bridge 5.0.2.4. 

    There is an ignore EXIF setting Preferences. I can't remember if that is Bridge or Photoshop, but IIRC it is for DNG files.
    Right.  Check Photosho > Preferences > File handling and make sure 'Ignore EXIF tag, is not checked.  I think that might do it, so long as it refers to sidecare files, because only RAW files would have one.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro Save button grayed out

    I have a user with Windows 7 with a fresh install of Adobe acrobat 8 pro and everytime you open a pdf and type in it the Save button is grayed out. You can go to Save file as but why is the Save button grayed out? I have ran updates and even removed it again and reinstalled still the Save button is grayed out? I even created a new pdf with just test word in it and saved it to desktop the button was still grayed out when i reopened it.

    Only the fully updated Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X products support use under Windows 7.

  • Edit button grayed out

    I'm using Acrobat 10.1.13 on Mac OS X 10.9.5.
    I have a form I created in Acrobat seven or eight years ago and have been using successfully since.  I have edited it several times in the past.  Today, I went to edit it and the Form Edit button is grayed out, for no apparent reason I can see.  It is the only form option that is grayed out.
    I searched the forum for similar reports; I examined the security and advanced security panels (nothing found, but I unchecked even the basic security that was there); I checked the document PDF/A setting (set it to "Never"), and it hasn't helped.  I tried to "Save a copy" as recommended by another posting -- I found only "Save as... PDF," and when I tried that I was told "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (14)."
    I can still edit the document and i can still print it (though I have to use Preview to print, because since I upgraded to Acrobat 10 I always get "The document count not be printed / There were no page selected to print" when I try to print from Acrobat, and have been unable to resolve that, either).
    The form does pretty intricate inter-field computations, so it would be a serious effort to recreate from scratch.
    Is there any way I can get this working again?

    V.K., thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, before I got to try it, I re-launched Address Book one more time and found it will no longer launch. Its Dock icon just keeps bouncing. Not only that, but I've also found that iCal and Mail will no longer launch, either. The iCal calendar pane and the Mail main window open, but the beach ball spins forever. I've never seen this before. Any ideas?
    I tried a different account on the same computer. No problems there.

  • Address Book "Edit" button grayed out...unable to edit

    Had to edit a contact's info and was surprised to find the Edit button grayed out, not allowing me to click it. Repairing permissions has not helped.

  • Artwork Button Grayed-Out

    I have some MP3s of an unknown sample rate and different bit depths. I would like to add artwork to these files, but iTunes has the artwork button grayed-out. I can convert the MP3s to AAC, but the quality will suffer, and I don't have the original uncompressed audio to start with.
    Is there a solution to this?
    Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad Xeon   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   3 GB RAM

    If you do a Get Info on the MP3 in iTunes and select the Artwork tab can you add there?
    If you Ctrl Click the track in iTunes and Show in Finder then do another Get Info are the permissions set correctly?

  • Join Button Grayed Out

    My iPad connects with no problem at home on my Time Capsule and Airport Extreme Routers. At my office, I can't even find out if it will connect or not, because when I select the network to join it, as soon as I type in a password, the JOIN button grays out making it impossible to connect. On hold now with Apple for 20 minutes and they are scratching their heads. Not a good sign for a device I am otherwise crazy about. Anyone else got this issue? For what its worth, its a Linksys Router at the office.

    Oh heck, nevermind. Turns out I was entering the wrong password. DOH! Nothing to see here, move along.

  • Data source active/inactive button grayed out in LBWE

    Hello,
    When I was activating the Logistics datasource in LBWE, my data source status became red and the Active/Inactive button grayed out? how can I make this data source active again?
    Thanks,
    KK

    Hi Kumar,
    The status will become Red and Active/Inactive is disable due to Extract structure activated but data source is not maintained. This happens once you change the extract structure to Include additional fields. Please do the below step:
    in LBWE, Click on Data source (Technical name of your data source beside maintainance) and you will get maintainance screen, change if you want some thing or else leave as it is and save, Now  the status for data source in LBWE will become yellow and activate/deactivate will enable.
    Regards,
    Kams

  • Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)

    Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)
    The Journal Batch Approval notification goes to one or more approvers but when any approver opens the journal and tries to approve, the approve batch button is greyed out and nobody can approve the Journal batch. The approver has every authority amount and other wise.
    Any idea what might be wrong? Do I need to setup something in Preference pages etc.,?
    Thanks for your help.

    Are you looking at the Workflow Notifications page or GL page. Please give me the navigation used to reach the page. Typically in workflow notification details page, the Response buttons are either displayed or hidden based on whether the notification has a Result Type attached or not. I don't think they are greyed out based on any rule.
    Workflow notifications does not check the approval authority by itself. Ann appropriate workflow notification with right content and result type should be sent based on the approval authority checked in a previous function activity.
    Thanks

  • HP Smart Document Scan Software profile buttons grayed out

    We've got four HP 5000 S2 scanners on two different domains. On one (my home office), the profile buttons are active and I can make changes. In our remote office, the buttons are grayed out for the users. If I run as admin or as another user with admin rights, they remain grayed out.
    Logging off and logging logging in with the admin account doesn't change this -- they stay gray.
