WebDAV: Excel 2013 truncates the encoded URL at # (%23)

(originally posted in Open Spec forum, but was asked to repost here)
We encountered a problem on our existing WebDAV server with Office 2013. When a file name contains a number sign (aka hash, aka pound sign), Excel truncates the URL at that sign. Note that the URL is properly encoded, i.e. "#" is replaced
with %23.
Word and Powerpoint behave properly and have no issues opening files via URLs containing %23. E.g, for the URL http://server/otcsdav/nodes/1500722/doc1%23end.docx, Word first calls OPTIONS on otcsdav/nodes/1500722, then HEAD otcsdav/nodes/1500722/doc1%23end.docx,
then eventually a GET. The file opens successfully as "doc1#end.docx", gets locked, edited, updated and unlocked.
Excel, however, truncates the URL (http://server/otcsdav/nodes/1500722/excel1%23end.xls), and sends HEAD for /otcsdav/nodes/1500722/excel1, which, of course, returns 404.
Funny enough, double-encoding (i.e. to %2523) seems to work for Excel, but breaks everything else. I.e, with url = "otcsdav/nodes/1500722/excel1%2523end.xls" Excel sends HEAD for "/otcsdav/nodes/1500722/excel1%23end.xls", while Word will
send HEAD for the URL verbatim, i.e. "/otcsdav/nodes/1500722/doc1%2523end.docx"
Does anyone know it it's an Excel bug? is there anything we can do to circumvent this?
P.S.1 Excel 2010 works just fine, the issue first appeared in Excel 2013.
P.S.2 I know that Sharepoint doesn't support "#" in filenames. Our server is NOT Sharepoint, and "#" doesn't seem to be disallowed in WebDAV protocol.

Hi Maria,
This forum is used to discuss questions about Excel for developers, most probably the issue is related to code.
According to your description, it seems the issue doesn't meet the topic. It might be related to how the server analysis the URL and find the corresponding file.
I have moved this thread to "Where is the forum for" forum.
Thanks for your understanding.

George.

Excel 2013 Data From Web not working with SharePoint 2013?

In Excel 2013, on the ribbon select the 'Data' tab and 'From Web' to import data from a web page. Navigate to a SharePoint 2013 site with a table on the home page and you will not see the table import arrow on the table. With SharePoint 2010 you would have.
Any suggestions on a workaround/fix?
One thing to note, in SharePoint 2013 be sure to disable the Minimum Download Strategy feature on the site or you will get script errors in the New Web Query dialog.
Also, I realize this may belong in an Office/Excel forum so I have posted it there also.
Thanks, Fintan

Hi Fintan ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Excel table import arrow disappears in the SharePoint 2013 page.
For your issue , I can reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint 2013 environment. It should be caused by the Excel Data connection from web page feature cannot identify the page layout which is
used by SharePoint 2013 . For a workaround, you export the HTML table using jQuery:

Excel 2013 hangs while trying to open a file from network share

Hi,
I am having issue opening excel file from a network share. it happens randomly, the file opens and hangs abruptly. Nothing happens after that ( we can only move the cursor), if we click on the excel sheet we get a beep sound. after i kill the excel process
and open it again ,it works fine.
Where did the member use the Excel file? Local disk, SharePoint, File server, or network shared disk?
       Network shared file and sometime locally
Does the issue occur in the special file or every file?
      it happens randomly and the whole excel freezes. i have to kill the excel session.
Which Office version is the file created? Excel 2013 or early? If it is XLS format, please try to convert to XLSX to test.
   Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013
Does the file have some macros?
Yes, they have macros in some files
Does the issue occur recently? If it is, have you installed some programs or update before you encountered it?
       it happened before too.
Do you get some error message when Excel crashed?
Yeah. Attaching the error message from event viewer. We get file corrupt errors and below too.
Please suggest

Hi Suren424,
Since your first image showed that "To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel." Please go to this path (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center\Problem Reports)
to check the detailed information, and you might upload the screenshot or info here.
Then, please try the following methods and check if they are helpful:
1. File --> Options --> Advanced --> uncheck "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)"
2. Turn off "Protected View" --> (File –-> Options –-> Trust Center --> Protected View --> Uncheck all options
3. I notice that >>Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013 <<, it also might be caused by the Microsoft Office File Validation for Office 2010, please try to change setting in server with

Excel 2013 crash - related to digital signature?

This is a cross-posting of a thread originally started in Microsoft Answers (Office- Excel) forum, advised to post in this forum by MS support engineer Mohan Suryanarayan (link to other forum: here).
I have a VB macro in file A (which otherwise contains only several Excel Tables with named ranges). My digital signature (for signing code) is attached to file A.
As the macro executes, the Open file dialog is called up so that the User can select a secondary file to open (file B or C).
Files B and C contain several sheets with formulas and Excel Tables, and also their own extensive VB macros. My digital signature is also attached to files B & C.
The remainder of the macro in file A simply executes an update of the Excel Tables in the secondary file, before saving & closing it.
I have been finding that during execution of the file A macro, Excel crashes and closes all open Excel files.
If I remove the digital signature from the secondary files then the macro in file A executes with no problem.
The macro was written in Excel 2007 and on a different laptop, with different digital signature, and used to have no problem at all. When a new laptop was purchased a new digital signature was obtained and placed into all of the files.
Execution of file A is a critical process - I need help with stopping the crash, while maintaining a digital signature in the secondary files (so that their own macros can execute).
Event Viewer error shows the following:
Faulting application name: EXCEL.EXE, version: 15.0.4667.1000, time stamp: 0x543d366c
Faulting module name: mso.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5447696f
Exception code: 0xc0000602
Fault offset: 0x011aafdd
Faulting process id: 0x2d58
Faulting application start time: 0x01d01e17eafcd0bb
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\EXCEL.EXE
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office15\mso.dll
JL Latham replied:
Tom, all I can give you is relatively non-information. I haven't experienced that type of behavior even in Excel 2013 with digitally signed macros in multiple workbooks. But my digital signature is a commercial one from DigiCert, not
self-cert. I'm not even sure what piece of Excel or Office processes the digital signature (that is, whether it is mso.dll or not). But your whole process has more moving parts than most of mine involving multiple workbooks do - I quite often turn
off .EnableEvents when doing things like that just so event driven macros in the other workbook(s) do not execute.
Do the macros in the 'B files' have to execute during all of this processing in file A? If not, have you tried turning interrupts off:
Application.EnableEvents = False
before starting to work with the B-files? Maybe something in them, such as a Worksheet_Change() or other event triggered process is messing things up?
If you do use Application.EnableEvents=False, remember that you MUST re-enable that later in the code with Application.EnableEvents=True to get responses to things like button clicks, changes in a worksheet or other event driven processes
to run 'normally' again.
Have you looked at this discussion:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/excel-2013-crashing-immediately-when-attempting-to/ea2ab100-5525-4a0d-a3cf-6977319f954f
Sounds very similar to yours - original signature created in 2007, and crashing in 2013. Some suggestions were made, but whether they fixed the issue or not is unknown: OP never came back and said "fixed it" or "didn't fix it".
I replied:
In answer, the secondary B files don't execute any part of their macros during the A file process, and I hadn't included an EnableEvents = False within the file A code. However, I have just tried it to check if it made any difference and unfortunately it didn't.
I had read the thread you gave a link to before posting, and also the sub threads given within that one, but didn't see anything I thought of immediate parallel other than an Excel 2013 crash.
The way I read the linked thread was that a User added a signature in Excel 2007 and when they tried to open the file Excel (2007?) crashes, although other people using Excel 2013 can open it (not clear whether it means others can open the one with
the 2007 signature or without it).
Anyway, the differences in my situation are that:
(1) my B-files were originally created in Excel 2007 on a different laptop to current and had their own signature attached. I maintain a 'stock' of B-file versions, some of which have the old signature and some the new. If I run the A-file macro
on one of the B-files with the old signature then it executes ok;
(2) I am able to open the B-files ok, no matter whether the signature in them derives from the old laptop with Excel 2007 or the new laptop with Excel 2013;
(3) the macros within the B-files execute ok (this includes any versions of the B-files which still have an old signature attached, by removing the old signature and replacing with the new and executing on the new laptop);
(4) the offending operation which triggers the crash (when the B-files have the new signature attached) is a Resize of the Excel Tables within the B-file. I understand that I may eventually have to find a workaround for this operation but initially
I want to sort out the signature issue (I'm reasonably sure the signature issue is not a red herring where the Resize is the 'real' problem).
Regards, Tom

Hi,
According to your description, this issue occurred with some particular files that stored in SharePoint site. Did the user download the file to local disk to print?
Based on the event log >>Faulting module name: EXCEL.EXE<<, it does not show the root Faulting module. Thus, please try to follow this KB to do general troubleshooting:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2758592
Then, if you have used "printer status application", please go to Device settings -> Installable options -> Printer Status notification and select disable.
If this issue still exists, we may need to collect the App crash dump file:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900.aspx
You can try to analyze dump by yourself if you would like to：

Cannot insert object error using Power View in Excel 2013

I created a short table in Excel 2013, positioned the cursor in the table and clicked Inset/Power View Report. I get a status window saying Excel is opening a Power View sheet but then I get a Power View error: Cannot Insert Object. I am able to insert new
tabs in the workbook. When I try the insert again, I just get the Power View error. I looked at other threads with similar issues and did the following:
Made the Formula bar visible - no change
Tried to repair Office 2013 but that option is not available when I right click on the program in the Control Panel
De-installed Silverlight - Tried to insert Power View Report. A Power View tab was created with the Power View picture and Power View ribbon. Got the message to install Silverlight and Reload. Installed Silverlight hit Reload and the Power View tab didn't
change. Hit Power View Report and got the Cannot Insert Object error message again.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Did you use PowerView first time? I notice you had found a similar thread and tested the solutions.
PowerView is an add-in in Excel2013, We must make sure that you check some option in the trust center and Add-in center.
http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-excel/archive/2012/10/04/intro-to-power-view-for-excel-2013.aspx
Location1: Excel Options>Add-in>Solver Add-in enable
Location2: Excel Options> Trust Center> Add-in
Then you said that you couldn’t repair the Excel 2013, please refer to the following link:

At last, we may test it in clean boot, please refer to the following link:

Converting fromula in pivot tables in EXcel 2013

I'm looking to convert to Formulas in Excel 2013. The Help function says that the functionality resides in the pivot table tools-> Analyze->in the Calculations group> click OLAP tools > click convert to formula
This is grayed out in my worksheet and I am clicking on a cell within the Pivot table
The pivot table source is an other excel worksheet in the same workbook that is not OLAP data (I don't even really know what that is)
Is there something i need to do to ungray the OLAP tools icon? Or is this no longer possible. This functionality in 2007 was not tied to OLAP tools
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, only the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) PivotTable report by using converting formula.
The data source must be imported from "Data tab>From other source>From Analysis Services" and then we could use the converting formula.

Help, PowerPivot in Excel 2013 is missing

hi
I recently change excel 2013 preview to excel profesional 2013 but PowerPivot is missing, what do I have to do, It`s not in the COM add-ins list, I tried too many ways, somebody can help me.

Check this out - :(

Update
Find below the excerpt from MSFT employee
"Hi all,
We understand that this puts those of you who have less than ProPlus in a bad position where your previous Excel 2010 workbooks are concerned. You can't use them in Excel 2013 without updating the data model, and you can't update the data model without the
add-in. If you know someone with ProPlus or an Enterprise SKU, you can always ask them to update the workbook and save it in 2013. From there, you should be able to use it.
For basic PowerPivot functionality, you don't need the add-in. So you can also recreate your PivotTables in Excel 2013 using the new data model. The key is to select "Add this data to the data model" when you create the pivottable from one of your
data sources. Then you can import other tables, and use the "All" tab on the field list to add the other information. On either the Data tab or the PivotTable tools Analyze tab, you can create the relationships you need.
Hope this helps!
Anita"

Excel 2013 ExtensionHardening

In Excel 2013 when exporting data to Excel from Microsoft Dynamics CRM I get the error:
"The file format and extension of "FILENAME.xls" don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don't open the file"
I got the same error when I had Excel 2010 but was able to find a registry key workaround that make the error go away. Now that I've upgraded to 2013 the error is back. The same registry keys don't look like they exist for 2013 and I've not been able to
find anything online for a fix. Any advice?
Here is the fix for Office 2010:
Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Security
Value: (DWORD)"ExtensionHardening"
= [0 = Disable check; 1 = Enable check and prompt; 2 = Enable check, no prompt deny open]
Default setting if value not present is 1 (enable and prompt).

Hi,
I just tested in Excel 2013, and the same registry key works, though it isn't there by default. You may not remember this, but you had to create it for earlier versions as well. just create it:
1. Go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Security
2. Edit --> New --> DWord value
3. Name it ExtensionHardening. It will be on 0 by default.
The file has to have an XLS extension, the key won't work for XLSX and the file wouldn't open using it.
Hope this helps,
Anita

Excel 2013 Object Model - Conditional Formatting

1) I'd like to understand the new Excel object model more thoroughly. Can anyone suggest a book?
2) Are the formulas and/or format settings for conditional formatted cells stored in the object model or in the workbook? I'm guessing the workbook.
Thanks.
Ross

1) The object model for Excel 2013 is the same as that for earlier versions, with a few additions and omissions.
See http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/books for lots of books about Excel, including programming.
2) Conditional formatting is stored in the workbook, but you can manipulate it with VBA.

How can I download MS Excel 2013 onto my iMac?

I'm a college student taking a MS Excel 2013 Specialist class. I tried to download Excel 2013 from the MS 365 subscription that was provided with my workbook, but I have learned that I cannot download it onto my iMac. For some reason it's not available for a Mac??? Is there a workaround for this? I was told by a Microsoft technician that if I had a Windows License I could then "boot the computer to bootcamp to use the Windows environment ." Is that possible? If so, will it hurt or be detrimental in any way to my iMac?

1. Excel 2013 is a Windows product. You may be able to use Excel 2011 instead.

A wierd problem while encoding URLs

Hi all,
I'm facing a wierd problem with the java.net.URLEncoder class. The encode function in this class is used for encoding URL based on standards like "UTF-8" etc..
I need to encode the URLs, because i have to send this information in a XML to another server.. Here's what the URLEncoder is doing if i give it the URL
http://mydomain.com:80/myServlet?_fileName=filename.mp3&_useStreaming=true
its encoding this as
http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%3A80%2FmyServlet%3F_fileName%3Dfilename.mp3%26_useStreaming%3Dtrue
but, all I wanted is to encode only '&' character ( as XML misinterprets this character with schemes ).
So, my question is .. is there any way that i can selectively encode the characters in the URL?
Any help wud be appriciated in this regard. :-)

I accept what you are saying.. URLEncoder encodes any string that's passed to it..
I infact have two different problems in hand.. The reason i mentioned only one above is because the solution to the first problem cud as well solve the second.. Anyway, here's the second problem ...
I'm recieving an XML from a server, where i get the URL info and i have to download the CONTENT from that URL.. Sample xml is given below
<Music>
<Singer>Tata Young</Singer>
<contentURL>http://myMusic.com/sexy naughty.mp3</contentURL>
</Music>
if you see the URL in the xml, that infact contains spaces in it.. I have my logic which checks if the given URL is a absolute URL or relative URL
if( relative URL)
I append "http://domain name:" stuff to make it absolute
else
i connect to the URL directly to get the Content
I'm using
URI i = new URI(str);
i.isAbsolute() method to determine whether its a absolute URL or not..
but this method doesn't seem to work for URLs that have spaces in them.. So, i encoded the URL and tried passing it to the method.. but it still doesn't work..
I probed into URI class itself and found out to my amazement that URI class assumes that URL contains only alpha numeric characters and few special characters like '+' , '/' , ':' etc..
Since the encoded URL has '%' character in it.. its not able to say that its a absolute URL.. Tht's the reason I asked for selective encoding.. ( say, which encodes only [space] character)..

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=-4163, Operation:=-4142, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False for Excel 2013

I use the above statement to paste from one excel file to another in Access application.
It works for machine installed with Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 but not for Excel 2013.
The error message is "Error Number 9, Subscript out of range".
Kindly advise.
Thank you.

Hi,
For the error message:
<< Error Number 9, Subscript out of range
About this error, it often implies that you are trying to refer to an object that doesn’t exist. Usually it caused by name which is not existing in the workbook. You can get more detailed information about this error in the following link.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa264519(v=vs.60).aspx
Have you checked the sheet name in you code, does it match the name in your workbook? If it still doesn’t help, can you share the sheet or post your code for us to reproduce this issue if it is convenient?
Best Regards

Xi Pro wont convert all sheets of an Excel 2013 to pdf

When using the "combine files in Acrobat" only sheet #1 of the spread sheet is converted. However, this only happens on our machine that has Excel 2013. The same documents are converted flawlessly when the feature is used on a machine that has Excel 2010.

Hi,
Kindly post your query in Adobe Acrobat forum:Acrobat

Activeworkbook keeps changing in Excel 2013

In my Excel
vsto in 2013, I am finding that the vsto code is not sure what the active
workbook is if the vsto code opens a new workbook. Everything works fine
in Excel 2010 and 2007 however.
It seems that
in Excel 2013 globals.thisaddin.application.activeworkbook is specific to the
class/module that the code is currently in.
For example:
I am in
Workbook1 and I select a button that starts my code:
In Sub1 I
call another subroutine, Sub2 which is in another class object
In Sub2 I
open a new workbook: workbook2
At this point
the Watch shows that globals.thisaddin.application.activeworkbook.name is the
same as the workbook I have just opened: workbook2. This is correct
When sub2
finishes, control passes back to Sub1, now the globals.thisaddin.application.activeworkbook.name
is now back to displaying workbook1 - although I have done nothing to change
the activeworkbook
Because the
rest of the code in Sub1 should apply to the activeworkbook, in Excel 2013
it updates workbook1 whereas in Excel 2010 and 2007 it updates workbook2.
Currently my fix is to check I am in the workbook I think I am before I can do anything.
Public Sub ActivateWorkbook(ByVal strName As String)
For Each wkbk As Excel.Workbook In app.Workbooks
If wkbk.Name.ToUpper = strName.ToUpper Then
wkbk.Activate()
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
For example when
I use wks.select I now have to first check whether the activeworkbook is
the parent object of wks.
Am I doing something wrong or will I have to rewrite my vsto for Excel 2013, ensuring the
activeworkbook is always set back to the one I thought it was?

Just to clarify, as I initially misread your response, you have quoted an extract from my question, rather than make the assertion that "the
activeworkbook is specific to the class/module"
By control passing back I mean that part way through the code in Sub1 there is a line call Sub2 and when Sub2 finishes the rest of the code in Sub1, below the call Sub2 line, is executed.
At the end of Sub2 I have a line:
System.diagnostics.debug.print g(lobals.thisaddin.application.activeworkbook.name)
and this returns Book2
But the first line of code in Sub1, below the call Sub2 is also System.diagnostics.debug.print (globals.thisaddin.application.activeworkbook.name)
and this returns Book1
So the activeworkbook appears to be different in different subs which are in different classes
Unfortunately if I create a simple vsto application level addin and try to create an example by having code that opens a new workbook, I cannot recreate the issue as the activeworkbook behaves as expected, so there must be something I do in my main
vsto that causes this issue
My Excel vsto in which I get this issue is over 100,000 lines of code and I can't really upload the full application.
I will try to work on my example vsto to see if I can recreate the circumstances that switches the Globals.thisaddin.application.activeworkbook as the running code moves between classes/modules.
