#ref error when opening two linked worksheets at the same time

Dear all,
I've two workbooks (A and B) wich some cells are linked between them.
The problem is that if I open A workbook, links works great taking the values from B, but if I open B (i mean, both workbooks opened at the same time), at the A workbook I see #ref error in the formula.
If I manually replace #ref for its previuos value, (in this case is the name of the sheet) it works!
I've several workbooks acting this way with several links between them, so replacing manually each time is not an option.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First, please check whether the file extension is correct. If in Excel 2010, the file extension will be .xlsx, in Excel 2003, it will be .xls.
This problem occurs if the workbook that you open was last saved in a version of Excel that is earlier than the version that you are currently using to open the
workbook. This problem occurs because the newer version of Excel forces a complete recalculation of all open workbooks that were previously saved in an earlier version of Excel, regardless of the link update status. To fully recalculate a workbook, Excel forces
updates of all external references. This behavior occurs even after you decide not to update those links when you are prompted. Excel updates the workbook calculation chain to the current version of Excel. If the external link sources are unavailable, Excel
cannot calculate correctly. Therefore, Excel returns #REF! errors. This is also true of DDE links that are unavailable during the recalculation process.
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.
Make sure that external link sources are available before you open the workbook
Update or remove links
Permanently remove the link formula, and then replace it with the value

  • Did 11.1 restore the iTunes 10 feature of opening two iTunes windows at the same time?

    I use an iPod Classic and I like rating my songs. When I get home from a trip, I will open two iTunes windows and play with the iPod music and iTunes music at the same time. I cannot upgrade to iTunes 11 because this feature was (stupidly) missing. Did 11.1 bring this functionality back?

  • My IPad is trying to open two gmail accounts at the same time - I'm unable to open either gmail account.

    I'm unable to open my gmail accounts as my IPad is trying to open both at the same time and it's jammed so I'm unable to access either inbox. Can anyone help?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

  • LDAP: error code 19 - Two realms cannot reference the same DN in orclcommon

    Hi,
    In Oracle IDM provisioning console I have created a new Realm.
    When I try to create a new user it is not asking for where the users needs to be created. That is in which realm it should be created.
    I went to configuration and tried to add the DN of the new realm in the user search base.
    I gives the following error.
    --LDAP: error code 19 - Two realms cannot reference the same DN in orclcommonusersearchbase
    Can any one tell me how to create users in different realms.
    Thanks,

    In my knowledge a registry problem was detected. This can occur when more than one service is defined for a device, if there is a failure opening the service registry entry, or if the driver name cannot be obtained from the service registry entry.
    As far as I know Microsoft provides these solution options:
    Click Uninstall, and then click Scan for hardware changes to load a usable driver.
    Restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then select Last Known Good Configuration. This rolls back to the most recent successful registry configuration.
    Furthermore you could try to remove the Upperfilters and LowersFilters from this registry entry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4 D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    If it doesnt help then access the device manager reinstalls the primary and secondary channel from the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller section and reboot.
    Good luck and Bye

  • Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time? (Elements 13 for Windows)

    Hi there.
    Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time?
    The reason I wanna do this is because I've trimmed many hours of clips in one project (One timeline) and I want to start a new project where I have a "clean" timeline and can add clips from the
    first project (Cut and paste). Or how do I bring a trimmed clip from one project into another in a easy way?
    Thanks
    -Dan-

    Your question is in the Photoshop Elements forum.  There is another forum for Premier Elements and this will probably be moved.
    That said, the answer is that Premier Elements has not be designed with the ability to cut and paste from one project to another.  The only "work around" is to "Publish&Share" to a best quality format that matches your project settings.  You can control the output clips with the "work area bars".  You can then add the new clip to the second project.   The output rendering process can, at least in theory, reduce the picture quality.  Depending on formats, settings and footage, it may not be noticeable.
    There is a third party product called Clipmate that some say works, but not always with good results.

  • How can I log into two differant accounts at the same time in two windows without the second window affecting the first.

    I'm trying to log into two facebook accounts at the same time in differant windows. When ever I log into the second account in the second window it changes the login in the first window. When I hit home or any other link the first window account has been logged out and logged into the second window account. I tried installing a second copy of firefox in a differant folder that the first but it seems to use all the files of the first installation. If I can get 2 toatally seperated instalations that don't rely on the same history, cookies, cache, etc I belive that will solve my problem. Please help.

    Nah, that won't work. Facebook has a feature that gets your IP Address, so as soon as you sign into one on the same computer, it changes the other login for safety purposes (say, someone was on a public library PC. They forgot to log out. Someone else logs in, and it automatically logs them out). You'll need 2 computers to do that.

  • Two processes running at the same time in Lookout

    I have installed Lookout 5.0 with 200 I/O Points onto our server computer. The application of motion control is next to the 200 I/O points through OPC PMAC server/client. Now I would like to have a second process in the same server for trouble shooting and testing without stopping the motion control process. However, this second testing process could have also many I/O points through Serial and USB ports. I assume that the total amount of I/O points of both processes will be greater than 200.I prefer to have independent processes for control and testing because access levels. Can I have these two processes running at the same time when needed?

    Hi,
    From your description you are using a third party OPC server for the motion application. You could have a second Lookout process communicating with the same OPC server with no problems, as long as you do not exceed the number of I/O points your license supports.
    Also, the process you are using for testing obviously could not overwrite datamembers (or registers if you will) that would interfere in the overall application, in other words you can test your application as long as you keep the coherency of the test.
    So the answer would be, yes it is possible, however you are still limited to the number of I/O's your license supports... You may even consider upgrade the number of I/O's you have in your license.

  • How to sync with two computers not at the same time, I'm registerd with one computer

    How to sync with two computers (not at the same time), I'm registered with one computer and am trying to connect with second computer with same iPhone. To sync the first time with the second PC "Firefox Sync Option tells me Create New account or Connect, when I connect it gives me a Passcode and on iPhone it also gives me a Passcode, than how do I connect? Both the iPhone and PC gives me a Passcode and have now idea what to do with them.
    Where do I find my Sync Key ? so I can install manually if it works ?

    Use the Sync Key ''(Recovery Key)'' from the PC that you used to initially setup your Firefox Sync service, when setting up that 2nd PC with Sync. You need to use '''Add a device''' to setup the 2nd and subsequent devices on a Sync account. <br />

  • Open 2 iTunes windows at the same time?

    Using iTunes 11.0.4 is there a way to open to Playlist windows at the same time?
    Thanks!!
    Peter

    I know, I know.  iTunes 11 has been a big step back, in my humble opinion.  Had a few issues with iPad & iPod syncing and miss a few 'undocumented features' that I've come to rely on, like multiple windows. 
    Although one thing that has always irritated me is how (which I've submitted an [ignored?] feedback on) the view will reset back to the top/first artist when you are importing a CD ... it means you have to madly scroll through and click on a close-enough artist before iTunes moves on to importing the next track, otherwise the view scrolls back to the top again (I've got almost 28k songs in my library ... not boasting, I just like music).  So it can be quite tedious.
    Would happily revert to iTunes 10.

  • Play two video files at the same time.

    I am trying to play two video files at the same time. I create two threads, each of which has its own frame, playing button, and builds its own graph to play the file. Now everything seems works except that when the first file is being played and I hit PLAY
    to play the second file, the program plays the second file but the first one is paused; furthermore the control button has no response for the first one. Did I miss anything? Can anyone help me figure out the problem?
    Best,
    Fayin

    You don't need separate threads for 2+ playback pipelines because the filters create worker threads internally and don't block execution on calling thread.
    If you decide to keep separate threads, you will have to follow Michel's advice and have message pumps on those threads.
    You can also have both files in the same graph, in which case you have perfect sync between them (both start playing together in sync), however you cannot pause/stop/run files separately.
    The problem you described is most likely not a DirectShow problem and is rather about generic threading, COM or window messaging.

  • Control two different parameters at the same time

    Two motors were connected each other rigidly. One motor controlled torque and the other motor controlled speed. I generated some torque and speed data which represented one cycle of motion from a motor simulation. I like to send these two different data sets (torque and speed) to two different motors at the same time. Torque data sends to one motor and speed data sends to the other motor to see the response of the load profile. In order to do this, I thought about using multithread, but I am not sure it will work for this application. Usually multithreading delay the CPU time so the overall control process might be delayed, right? If you have better idea, please let me know.

    If you are using one motion controller to control both motors, you will probably run into problems if you try to use multithreading on the PC. However, you can execute up to 10 programs (threads) at a time, in addition to host communication, using on-board programming. For more information on on-board programming please refer to the following tutorial: Developer Zone Tutorial: On-board Programming in FlexMotion

  • Collecting data from advantech-usb4704 with two different apps at the same time

    I wonder if I can access to Advantech-4704 with two different applications at the same time?
    I use this block in my vis.
    I have enough ports, but inputs are needed in completely different applications. Do I have to close one of them or can they run simultaneously?
    Thankyou!

    Dear gtu,
    as nathand said, usually it is not supported to access the same physical resource simultaneously from multiple programs. In case of DAQmx for instance, you will get an error message which says that the resource is already reserved. I suppose the same would happen with your driver, however it might be worth a try.
    One workaround could be however if you revise your applications and merge the codes if it is possible so that no concurent resource allocation takes place.
