We have an Excel file that 20+ Users update daily. Every time we share the workbook, it corrupts the file within days.
We are using Excel 2010. We go to Review tab, Share Workbook, and check the Allow Changes box.
I have a Excel Spread Sheet which has been created, there will be 4 people in 4 different locations who will have access to this spreadsheet and will need to update/amend it through "Dropbox", my question/problem is, how can I link the 4 spreadsheets where information will be updated by one person, but will update all 4 sheets at the same time.
Is this possible and how do I go about it?
Sharing excel file over network for use by multiple persons. File has suddenly stopped opening giving message "File cannot be found" etc.... I back the file up daily to my hard drive so didn't lose much.
This is the second time this has happened. File size is only 300Kb.
Excel seems to be creating temp files to the same folder, then gave a message saying changes could not be saved to the excel file.
Ran the corruption program from this site, it could not open the file.
Any way that two or more people can share and make changes on a excel workbook at the same time.

I build a workbook with 7 users and each user has his own password and this workbook putted in our server drive ( Common Drive ) and each user has the ability to make any thing in his own sheet
So How could make this workbook shared with this 7 users using VBA Code?
Is there a way I can share the workbooks with macros built in the excel file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook which relies on another "source" workbook for getting some data. It then does some processing on the data and displays some results.
I want to share the workbook with the results with others, but I don't want to give them the "source" workbook.

As I am looping through files in a folder, I would like to determine if the file is a text file.
The problem is that all extensions are variable in a pattern such as .078, .051, etc.
In this instance, the extensions are numeric, but I'm trying to figure out a way to handle that is all encompassing to include *.txt, *.tsv, *.csv, *.prn, etc......
How can I handle these efficiently?
My Workbook contains several UserForms in which employees will be entering hours and activities on a daily basis. In the UserForm, they select their department and enter hours for each specific type of work/activity that shows up for that department in the userform. They click the submit button and all the data (date, name, department, type of work and hours) is added to a database table in another sheet, which in turn feeds a number of reports.
I need to be able to have anywhere from 20 to 100+ employees enter their hours on a daily basis, many of them at the same time, all from different locations (within the network of the client's system), using the same UserForms.
We've experimented with Google Drive, but that seems not to be the solution. It kind of works, but is not secure (it installs a copy of the entire workbook on the users system and then synchs the data back to the server upon "save") and way too cumbersome. I've heard of SharePoint, but not every client has that installed (and frankly I don't know how it works).
I have created a workbook with vb code that include 4 modules, 1 userform. These all work in the original workbook. When I copy and paste the workbook onto another laptop, none of the scripts work? Both laptops run the same os plus office 2003.

I currently have a worksheet opened on excel 2010 using windows XP. When I open the exact same file on another computer using excel 2010 using windows 7. The spacing and formatting is different.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel 2010 workbook that is fairly slow to open (10-15 secs) because it is rather formula heavy. This workbook is opened by quite a few different people every day. What I would like to do is to open the file overnight using windows Task Scheduler and to update the file (using a workbook open event macro) and then for the rest of that day whenever the file is opened the formulas do not update until overnight the next day (and so on and so on).
I thought maybe toggling the Calculation Manual off/on? Would this be the best tactic?
Isn't there a checkbox somewhere where I can tell Excel 2007 to leave xls files as they are? My Excel 2010 doesn't urge me to save an old xls file format into xlsx but in Excel 2007 I can't find a switch (and I don't rememeber if I had to do anything in 2010). So ultimately I want to stay in compatibility mode when using old files.

I am trying to record a macro where the last step is to SAVE AS the file. I want it to use the current date as the end of the file name.
i.e.
Daily OST -- 2012-08-10
Daily OST -- 2012-08-11
Daily OST -- 2012-08-12
etc...
This is what is currently in the macro but all it gives me is the first part "Daily OST --". How to fix?

Basically, I'm looking to populate the blank cells in the PartNumber column (Sample_List) by looking at the data in Column1, Column2, Column3 then going to the Master_List, matching up Column1, Column2, Column3. The PartNumber value in the row with the matching values would then be copied to the Sample_List.
I am an extreme novice to using macros.
I used the 'record macro' feature to create the following: I created a rectangle box on sheet1 of NEW TEST.xlsm to link to the macros incidated below. Niether macro moves on after reaching the Workbooks.Open statement.
I am at a loss. Is there something in Excel that needs to be set? Is there something else that I need to do version of Excel is 14.0.6129.5000 (32 bit) MS Office Professional Plus 2010
What I am trying to accomplish is this: From 'NEW TEST.xlsm', open an excel file on the network, add a new sheet to this network file, calling it 'Pivot'. Then create a pivot table in this new sheet from the data in sheet data1 of this same network file. Then move control of macro / processing back to the NEW TEST file. Eventually I will do more, but for starters, I cannot even get the macro to add / name a new sheet in the network file.
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]PS I have attached the NEW TEST.xlsm fikle as we as the data file. NOTE: the data file has been reduced to one day's worth of data, to to the upload file size.Also, my Excel Trustred locations has "Allow trusted locations on my network" checked, and the network location to the data file in trusted user locations.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI run excel 2010... I have xls file (see file attached) with both English and Non English characters.
When I save this file as xls or xlsx - everything is good, but when I save the file as CSV and try to open it later - I see that the English characters stays the same but the non English characters become gibberish.
How can I save a file (that include some non English characters) as CSV without loosing the non English characters? Is there a way to do that from within the excel 2010 menus? Or maybe there is an external tool?

I have a workbook with several sheets with formulas, etc. one of the sheets its like a "resume" of the workbook. I want that sheet with the "resume" to be visualized by other person's without giving the access to the workbook.
The idea it's a file with linked data with the workbook that have the sheet with the "resume". When I change some data in the workbook the file with the linked data must be updated when someone open it and cannot edit, it is just for visualization.
I'm using Excel 2010. When I go into the Excel Options, to the Save option and try to type in a specific network drive in the Default File Location: box, I click OK and then it doesn't save the changes. I close Excel down all the way and then restart a new Excel session and it keeps going back to "LibrariesDocuments..."
It doesn't seem to be just related to Excel...having the same issue in Word and Access 2010 as well.
I have a technician who sits a desk over, has the same brand of computer running the same Windows 7 and the same Excel 2010, but when he opens a particular file the page layout or print area seems to change so that the sheet is partially cut off. All his options appear the same. I can open this file on other computers and it seems to be fine...
I notice that the Margins under Custom Margins are different and this would explain the problem but not why it occurs. It's a file I created and saved and he opened. Why would the margins change? Is this one of the Microsoft cross platform / program deals where if he changes the print set-up or page layout in WORD for example, it changes them in EXCEL?
