When I click the general Excel program icon that use to just open a blank excel workbook, it now always opens the same existing file (apples.xls) If I am clicking on a different existing file (pears.xls), excel opens pears.xls and apples.xls.

When I had Excel 2010 and now with Excel 2013, whenever I open a workbook, it opens and displays to the row AFTER the last row of data. (So, if my last row of data is 38205, it will open starting at row 38206...hence I see no data until I hit Ctrl+Home). I have not found anything about this on the internet and I cannot find a setting. I need Excel to open to A1 so I don't freak out every time I open a workbook and see no data.

I currently have the following code that copies a range opens notepad pastes the range opens save dialog and types the file name. The problem I have is with overwriting the existing file.
Range("A1:A202").Select
Selection.Copy
Shell "notepad.exe", vbNormalFocus
SendKeys "^V"
SendKeys "^s"
SendKeys "Total_IEDs_Hour_Of_Day_2009.xml"
SendKeys "{TAB}"
SendKeys "a"
SendKeys "{ENTER}"
Everything works fine to this point. Then it opens the do you want to overwrite dialog and I cant get it to hit yes.
I want to run a VBA macro when Excel opens if and only if the file name contains a specific string or if and only if the worksheet name contains a specific string. The file only contains one worksheet. For example, if the file name contains the string "SalaryData" or the sheet name contains "SalaryData", then I want to run a VBA macro to delete some of the confidetial information. Idealy, this would be done as the file is opening before it is displayed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the last couple of weeks my copy of Excel 2010 has started acting strange. Now when I double click an xls or xlsx file in Windows Explorer, it tries to open a new instance of Excel, whic means that it tries to reopen Personal.xlsm and Personal.xlsb, and finds they are already open, so it gives me an error message. Previously it perfectly happily opened the document in another window in the same instance, which is presumably much more memory efficient quite apart from the file locking problem mentioned. How do I get it back to the way it was before? Is this another of MS's famous overnight downgrades?

I run the following formula down a column of records in row AR
=IF(COUNTIF(lookup!A:A,N2)>0, "Exclude", "Not In Lookup")
I want to add to this formula an additional function that if any cells in column A1 are blank, then do not perform the remainder of the equation.
The same two workbooks open when I open any other workbook. They also open up when I open Excel by itself.

whats up everybody? i have to use two excel worksheets that someone else already created to make CSV (comma seperated value) files. these CSV files are to be dumped into a database. the problem is that the table has more fields than the spreadsheet does (the spreadsheet has 3 fields - network, mask, size - and the table has 10 fields). i can insert one entire column before (to the left of) network (for the ID field in the table) without a problem, but when i try to insert entire blank columns after size (to the right of the pre-existing columns) it only makes columns for the first 14 rows. i know this because when i save it as a CSV file there are only 6 extra commas for the first 14 rows. is there a way to insert an entire blank column for the entire spreadsheet (as in all the way to the bottom)? i dont want to have to manually type in all those commas. i am using excel 2002.

I tried locking an excel document and i ticked a box that said protect structure, and then entered my password and now I cannot open the document. It is a white square on my desktop now with no options to do anything, it cannot even be attached to an email or deleted. This was on excel 2008 on a macbook.
I have Excel 2002. If I start the program it opens with a blank workbook, called "Book 1".
If I then open an existing workbook, I have two Excel buttons in the Windows taskbar: the one I just opened, and the blank one titled Book 1.
At work I have Excel 2003. The blank "Book 1" is also there when I start the program, but if I then open an existing workbook, the Book 1 goes away. I like this way better.
My question is: Is this just the way versions 2002 vs. 2003 work, or can I change a setting somewhere to make Excel 2002 close its default blank workbook when I open an existing one?
I want to add these document properties I created to a cell ("A1" or any of the cells) without doing any VBA programming. Is this achievable in any case?

Field A which I need to convert into two cells.
So I would have two columns for which would give me the split of A
A) 6210220121120
What this needs to be is 62102 in one field
The other field it needs to read as a date (which is backwards) and this would be: 02/11/2012. As you can see that is how the field is.
Last four digits is the DD/MM backwards and the year is forwards.
Some time ago, a friend of mine told me he didn't use any Pivot Tables at all, due to the imense space they require.
Instead, he made connections between Forms in Excel and the Databases using SQL.
Do you know of any Internet site where I can start to learn something about this?
I am processing a fair few Invoices, which are being sent to me via e-mail as excel documents, very often they contain mistakes, a decent amount of mistakes. Usually the prices are wrong.
I keep track of every single entry on the invoice on my own document - Tracker, which I consider to be the superior/more correct document to the Invoice presented to me by my contractor.
Both of the documents have a reference number, which is a specific docket number, and horizontally, in the invoice, there is going to be a price for this docket. In my document, there is going to be a separate column for the total price.
Is it possible (I guess with VBA) to check for mistakes in the Invoice, but use the Tracker as a reference for this check.
Tracker has
columns
A - Name
B - Department
C - Date
D - Docket No.
C - Total price for the docket (calculation of E to Z)
E to Z - all smaller entries
Invoice has
columns
A - Date
B - Docket No.
C to E price for that docket, but it is spread, because departments are separated out, so each VAT account can be charged accordingly. I guess it is possible to do a separate column for the price, if it is easier to do a script that way.
Basically, I need to check if in the Invoice document, the price (C to E) for Docket No. (B) is the same as the price (C) for the Docket No. (D) in the Tracker.
I would like the wrong entries to be highlighted on the Invoice Document, so I can see straight away, that this needs attention.
Not always the price is wrong, sometimes the Docket No. is spelled incorrectly (Dyslexic contractor), hence the highlighting.

I wonder is there a way in excel to replace multiple words at once. To have like script where I had all words that need to be replaced and words replacing those. And just click the button and done? More specifically I'm translating some exports in xls and there are few words repeating over and over again in every document. So for example I need to replace word parfem for perfume like 500 times in one excel document atd. I think there has to be a easier way to replace those words at once.

How do I add a password to protect the PDF that I create from my excel 2010 document?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet which I need to print to PDF. There is a simple "Save as" PDF option which always fails with just the message "Document not saved". I created a simple test sheet with just a few numbers on to check it isn't due to complexities with the particular workbook. This works on my home PC (Windows 7) but not on the Windows 7 Club PC which is where I need to run it to generate the output which eventually will go to the club's website.
It also fails the same way if I try to create an XPS file (although I don't want an XPS file).
This fails from the normal user interface "Save As". I also tried it from a VBA macro and run it: I get Run-time error '-2147467261 (80004003)' Document not saved
I've googled endlessly but all the references I tried failed to uncover a solution. I was a bit surprised that this doesn't seem particularly common and most of the reports seem to be a couple of years old or older (no workarounds were useful).
I have a few excel files in a common shared folder. I want to allow other users to access this folder to make changes in the worksheet but should never allow them to delete the file. How can i do this?
