Lost All Formulas In Cells
Mar 11, 2009On some worksheets and spreadsheets, when I save the formulas disappear, only to be replaced by the previously calculated values. It has become a real pain.
I assume this is something simple.

Excel 2007 :: Formulas In Cells Not Being Recognized As Formulas?
Jan 10, 2013I am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.

Jan 22, 2013Macro to clear cells with numbers but no cells with formulas with in this macro:
Dim i As Long
i = Range("E3")
If i > 0 Then
' Copy range
Range(Cells(6, 10 + i), Cells(500, 17)).Copy
Range(Cells(6, 10), Cells(500, 17)).Select
' Paste special
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:=2, Link:=1, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, IconFileName:=False
' Clear i columns on the right
Range(Cells(6, 18 - i), Cells(500, 17)).ClearContents
End If
End Sub
The range is where the cells with numbers need to be cleared but not the ones with formulas.
Lost Formatting
Nov 9, 2008I have a workbook that is used by others and has been working reasonably well for several years. The users are youngsters who tend to play with it when a bit bored but I usually manage to put things right. They seem to have done something special this time.
The formatting for dates, time and money has gone and I cannot correct it. I have tried the usual formatting of cells, painting formats from other sheets, copying and pasting formats all to no avail. The whole sheet is effected so that new entries appear the same way although the correct format appears in the formula bar.
I don't know if this is relevant but the sheet relies on VBA form inputs. The code is password protected and only I know the password.
The PC is not connect to the internet or a network so I have ruled out a virus. (As far as I know, no floppies or USB sticks have been used on it either.)
Lost The Menus
Apr 3, 2009Having recently started to get involved in Visual Basic I have managed to write some code that has removed all of my menus except for File and Help. In a blind panic I deleted what I think was the offending VB code in a vain attempt to return the menus. This didn't work. I am now stumped.
Also, I managed to change the way the Cell selection works when I press Return. When I press Return, Excel now selects the cell to the right of the one I was in rather than the one below it. Is there a way I can change this back?
Formula Lost
Dec 3, 2006I have been chasing this little devil for some time now and I'm fed up!!
I put a formula in cells formula bar and whenever it decides by itself poof its gone!!!
example formula would be say (in formula bar)
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$5:$A$200>(h4/24)),--($A$5:$A$200<(h5/24)))
in say cell g31 with answer in cell 31.
Now it just dawn on me, this is an array correct so ctrol,shift, enter may be needed?? If so why do other cells with same idea work?
Lost VBA Code
Jul 10, 2007I just spent 8 hours of VBA coding completed and after exiting excel and re-opening the file, I have seem to lost all the 8 hours worth of VBA coding I just completed. For example, I created an extra module (Module 3) and that disappeared; I updated several SUB commands and even those did not update. My code was about accessing databases using the OpenDatabase method and I noticed that towards the end before I shut it, my connection to the database kept failing (hence the reason why I was closing it and reopening it).

Feb 27, 2014I'm essentially trying to place a column that is largely based on another....a function that will calculate the following information
Carriers with 1 Vehicle - 25.00
Carriers with 2-4 Vehicles - 100.00
Carriers with 5-9 Vehicles - 200.00
Carriers with 10-24 vehicles - 400.00
Carriers with 25-49 vehicles - 750.00
Carriers with 50+ vehicles - 1500.00
In other words.
One column in my spreadsheet has number of vehicles. I want another column that will provide the according application fee as found in the information above.
Lost Format After Pasting
Oct 11, 2007I have two files: let's say File1 and File2.File1 has one column: datas are in a text format.I copy this column. I want to paste it in my second file.File2 is closed.I open it and i paste my column.
Here's my problem. If i let my first file opened, there's no problem(!!): my column is pasted as i want. My datas keep their original format.
But, if i close my first file and after, i open File2 and i paste my column, then my datas lose their original format.My column takes a numeric format.I can see it because my datas are on the left in the column.And i can chek it by a sum: if i do 400+200, for example, the result is 600. In the first case(text format), the result is 0.I don't understand why.If someone can explain me this situation, i'd be happy.I repeat: my second file is closed. I open it after my copy in the first file.
Lost Part Of Sheet
Nov 13, 2008I might have hit a wrong key or button, which caused a part of the current sheet not being displayed.
First column shown is C, but cols A an B are still in the sheet.
How can I get cell A1 in the left hand corner again?
Toolbars Lost After Macros Used
May 30, 2006A IT Ordering system has been created using Excel, I am prompted to enable Macros, no problem there. The problem is that when I exit the worksheet using a formulas setup as an exit button, my Excel is displayed with my Toolbars missing. I have been unable right-click at the top and re-add these I am only presented with the option to minimise, close etc. 1. How can I replace my Toolbars? 2. Is there a formula fix so that I can use this worksheet without losing my toolbars?

Mar 29, 2007The thread title is the entire email message I got from a customer (thru the help desk). I have sent back asking her the following:
Is this happening in all excel documents you try or only some? Are you getting any sort of error message? Can you send me an Excel document you are having trouble with and tell me the exact actions you take?
While I am waiting for her answers, I thought I would ask here if anybody knew:What would cause this to happen?What sort of things I should look for?What other questions I could ask her?At the moment I do not know if she was in an Excel workbook that had vba code behind it or not. So my questions are for both what could be in vba code and what she could have done (without knowing) to cause this phenomenon
Leading Zeros Lost In Csv Format
Jun 9, 2009I have an excel spreadsheet with numbers and the format has to show zeroes at the beginning (e.g. 0011111) It is always going to be a seven digit number. I can format the cells to show the numbers with the leading zeros, but as soon as I save the file as a csv, the leading zeros are lost.
Does anyone know how to the zeros can be retained when the file is saved in csv format?
Sheet Has Lost The 'UNDO' Facility
Jun 23, 2009I have created a spreadsheet in the field of marine surveying. In that sheet, I have used a lot of macros (21 modules) and a lot of VBA, most of it provided by kind people on this forum. But what has happened now, is that when I use that particular worksheet, the 'Undo' menu item in the 'Edit' menu has become permanently grayed out and it says 'Can't Undo'.
In other words, I cannot undo, even if I have made the wrong entry in an unprotected cell. If I use any other sheet, or make a new sheet, everything returns to normal. So, is there any way I can re-gain the 'Undo' facility, while using that particular sheet. I am using Excel 2003 on a Windows XP Home (SP3) platform.
Recovering Lost Excel Work
Jan 12, 2013I have been working on some files in excel for several days, saving regularly, etc. but have run into a huge problem. I was marking cells with a background color to organize and track my work, but the files being saved were .csv's.
From my research, it seems that .csv's only save data, not formatting such as cell background colors.
However, while I was working on the files, they displayed the colors correctly etc.
I am hoping that there is some sort of temporary file created by excel that would allow me to re-open my work and have the coloring appear so I can save the work as an .xlsx file with formatting.
Lost Format After Running Macro
Jun 5, 2014I have a summary sheet using a macro to summarise multiple other worksheets. However, when I run the macro, the summary sheet loses all formatting.
For example, in one column of the "target" worksheets, the data is entered on multiple lines within a single cell, using alt+shift. When I run the macro the formatting is lost and the data in this specific range is displayed in one long row in a single cell. Also, font formatting is also lost.
In the attached example, the top row shows the original formatting on the "target" worksheet, but below that is the formatting after the macro has run and this is what shows on the summary.
I need it to be formatted as on the original if possible.
Lost Visual Basic Project
Oct 24, 2008Have a project going and have had a disturbing trend develop. I'm working in Excel 2003. Upon opening the file and enabling macros, I started receiving File/Path errors, at which point it would shut down the application. When opened, I have a splash that would come up, but it wouldn't go to the next userform. At this point I would get the error message and the file would be closed. If I then reopened the file, disabled macros, saved under a different file name, and then reopened with macros enabled, everything worked fine, until I shut it down and then tried to reopen, at which point the same error would occur.
Lately I have simply been getting the Microsoft Excel dialogue box telling me an unexpected error occurred and it had to be shut down. I'm at a loss for what is causing this. The last time this happened, when Excel recovered the file, it told me a repair had been done, and the repair was to basically delete all of the VBA code from the file.
Lost Toolbar Paste Function
Nov 27, 2008It appears that my toolbar paste button has been disabled and I think this is due to an auto open macro.
Does anyone know what macro code I will need to run to regain the use of this button?
Merged Cell - Lost Functionality
Oct 5, 2011I feel like I have lost some functionality due to merged cells. For a worksheet change event I have the following:
ElseIf Target.Value = "" Then ... blah blah blah
For a normal cell, every time a cell is deleted (in the appropriate target zone) then it runs the code I have in the subsequent lines
Except it doesn't work for merged cells, unless I manually go into the cell, backspace all of its contents and then press enter
Lost Relative Reference Icon
Aug 11, 2006I went to record a macro but I can't seem to get the relative reference button anywhere. I am using Excel 97 - does anyone know why this might be or how I can get it back?
View 9 Replies View RelatedFile Error: Data May Have Been Lost
Jan 25, 2008We have an excel template with numerous VBA and Macros embedded within it, saved on a central drive. I am able to access this file ok, however, when I save it when it is reopened by either myself, or a colleague, we get the "File error: data may have been lost" message. Everyone else within my organisation can open the template, edit, and save and subsequently reopen the spreadsheet without any problems at all.
One thing I have noticed, which to me seems strange is that the files I save that have the "error" message are slightly smaller in size than the ones my colleagues save (350kb vs 417kb)
My IT department have tried unintalling Excel and reinstalling, and also rebuilding my profile, all to no avail. A trainer has sat with me to check I am not using the spreadsheet incorrectly (or differently to anyone else, and this is not the case).
File Error: Data May Be Lost
Mar 23, 2004I know, I know... should've backed it up... there exists no other copy of the file in question newer than it's initial creation two weeks ago (been working on it solidly since).
The data does appear to be there but, rather mixed up... does anyone know of any methods/tools/software that might be able to salvage as much of the data (needs to be in it's original structure as it's a cross match excersice) as humanly possible?
File Error: Data May Have Been Lost ...
Jun 28, 2007I have created some Excel files using Excel 2000 on Windows Server 2003. The Excel version is given as 9.0.6926 SP-3. When I open them using Excel 2000 in Windows 2000 after a few sheet deletions I get the error message "File Error: Data May Have Been Lost" when opening the files. The Excel version is given as 9.0.8948 SP-3 in Windows 2000 (why is it different to the version number in Server 2003? Could this be part of the problem?) It crashes on this line
If Sheets(3). Name <> "template" Then
with the error "Run time error 32809 Application defined or object defined error".
The template sheet is very hidden. When I try and unhide it I get the 32809 error again.
Change Location In Dropdown So Information Is Not Lost?
Aug 27, 2013I created a drop down in a file that contains a list of locations. The people that run these locations have to input data (mileage) in other areas of the worksheet. Is it possible to have the data in the cells change as someone changes the location in the drop down so the information is not lost or overwritten each time?
I am really trying to avoid making a workbook with several tabs.
The cells that are colored blue are the cells that the people will have to put input into. I would like to be able to keep the data from all the cells that are blue each time they change the location. The rest of them are already set to change with the location change via a formula. Those are all based on data that I pulled and was able to provide.
Slicer Connections Lost When Copying To New Workbook
Jun 12, 2014The main objective of the code is to create different workbooks that are going to be send to different people(with only their data).
I am using the filter to delete the data that I don't need and then create a new workbook, save it and close it. This has been working fine.
The issue is that I have two slicers in the 'DistMenu' sheet. When I open again the newest workbook, they slicers are disconnected to the pivot tables. This can be fix manually by selecting the slicers --> PivotTables Connections etc
I use the macro recording to get a code and work from there, but is giving me error '1004' "Unable to get the PivotTables property of the Worksheet class".
Keep UserForm Linked To Particular Workbook Even If Focus Is Lost
Jan 19, 2010I have an excel program that uses a modeless userform. often times i will open other spreadsheets while the form is active or minimized. if i return to the form and run it without manually bringing focus to the appropriate workbook, i get an error because it references the wrong workbook. is there a way to keep that form tied to that workbook no matter what? also, it is important that this procedure works despite the workbook name changing.
View 5 Replies View RelatedConditional Formatting Lost Outside Print Area
Nov 7, 2012I have a three sheet workbook that I created
The first sheet is virtually blank it allows the user to cut and paste dispatch info, and customer info from Lotus Notes Dispatching which is then referenced to auto populate appropriate cells in Service Report(third sheet)
The second sheet uses significant conditional formatting to aid the user in entering data in a very easy to use straight down vertical manner.
There are 74 rows of data entered followed by several comment areas which all also auto populate to the third sheet(service report).
Issues I am having, I only want the third sheet (service report) to print, but I want all conditional formatting to be visible to the user.
At one point I put all three portions on a single sheet and set print range to exclude that which I don't want printed but then all formatting is masked and cells are just gray.
I would prefer to have the three sheets remain separate and to only print the third sheet, but need conditional formatting to remain functional and visible.
Custom Views Lost After Cut/Move/Insert Etc
Aug 26, 2006I have a large spreadsheet that I am managing and there are many users who access this for information. Because of this, we have all created "custom views" for our departments.
I continue to struggle with how to save changes in these custom views. Yesterday, I added and moved some columns to the spreadsheet and now all the custom views are messed up. The only way we have been able to work through this is deleting and creating new views.
Exporting Crystal Report: Macros Being Lost
Oct 5, 2006I have been able to export data from a Crystal Report into an Excel file. After exporting to the Excel file I copy a Macro that I wrote into the workbook that deletes blank lines. My question is: Is it possible to export into a workbook that contains macros without overwritting the entire workbook which wipes out the macros?
