Is it possible to open an OpenOffice spreadsheet in Excel while keeping all formulas?
At the minute when I try this, Excel just opens the spreadsheet with the values of each cell from OpenOffice (the results of the formulas) and not the actual formulas themselves.
I have excel file having macros and many formating , I have protected with password but in my office there is only 3 pcs having MS office installed out of 18 pc, all other pc have installed open office. formula and macro is not supporting in open office and also Macro which i have procted in excel easy viewing in open office without asking password (which i don't want )
I want to restrict the file to open in pc where open office installed.
In short excel file should not open other that pc where MS office is not installed.
I'm running on Ubuntu 13.04 and have a problem with libreoffice and openoffice alike. With libreoffice the problem occured, then I removed libreoffice and installed openoffice, on which the same problem occured.
Sometimes, when I open a writer document, it doesn't open. When I look into 'system-monitor' I do see the process is started, but it won't open. It doesn't do anything. No error message, nothing!
And when I try to 'end' or 'kill' the process in system monitor, it just doesn't. Then I log out and log in again, and then when I open a document, it brings my to the recovery window.
Then everything is fine, till it happens again. The same problem occurs on another pc with 13.04 also.

I am working on a personal macro that is lauched from a file that is produced on a weekly basis resulting in a filename that changes every week due to a date range that is in the file name (ex. Weekly Accounting 04_16_14 to 04_22_14.xlsx), for this example I will call this "Spreadsheet A". When working with this spreadsheet I open another spreadsheet ("Spreadsheet B") to retreive data and I then need to go back to Spreadsheet A again to paste this data. The problem I have is I don't know how to go back to Spreadsheet A since the name changes each week and I cannot hard code the name into the coding. I usually use Windows("Random Spreadsheet.xlsx").Activate to go between spreadsheets, but in this case I cannot.
Is there something that will allow me to return to Spreadsheet A no matter what it is named?
I have a 30 in monitor (I know I'm lucky!) but when I open a new spreadsheet it opens all the way across the screen 100 columns and 100 rows. How can I change the size when it opens?
I was wondering if you can make a popup open when a user opens a spreadsheet. I have some templates i made and users continue to make the same mistakes. I was hoping to add a form/pop so when the file was opened a popup would come up with reminders. Once they press ok they can proceed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently have a spreadsheet that my deparment use at work. Its just a full time equivallent sheet, nothing fancy. However I added code onto it to prevent users opening it as I was updating it.
However I went to open it and It wouldnt open. It wouldn't recognise me as being the exception. Its just a code on the workbook open that says if user is "slb090" (which is me) then do nothing, else msgbox and just a quickie sayign come back later".
I have attached the spreadsheet, in the hope someone can open this for me and remove the message so I can open it!
I add data validation into 4 columns and when i re-open the spread sheet after saving it, it clears all validation.
Although it clears the validation, the place where it gets the data from is still there. i have also unfroze panes and is still clearing data validation
Attached is the spread sheet. The data validation is in columns A, G, H and I on the 'unsourced' page and is getting the data frfom the 'Sheet1' Page.
I Have a tool which will be used online & offline.
I would like a box to appear on the opening of the spreadsheet which asks the user "Are you online?", with options "Yes" & "No", if the user selects "Yes" then a macro (which i have already written) refreshes the spreadsheet.
if the user selects "No", the sheet is not resfreshed.
What is the best way to do this?
have a password protected spreadsheet with a userform for people to enter data. This allows them to enter data, but stops them from editing or deleteing data once entered.
When the spreadsheet is opened, it asks for a password to unlock it. Hitting cancel allows the user to continue and the userform pops up for the user to enter data. I would like to disable the initial password prompt when the file is opened to avoid confusion on the users part.
upon opening my spreadsheet which will only open if the correct answer/ password is typed.
I’d need to store the questions, passwords/ answers somewhere for VB to look up I guess??
Capital of England – London
Capital of France – Paris
Capital of Italy – Rome
Etc etc
And then I need coding which will open one of the random questions, which will only grant access to the spreadsheet if the correct answer is typed.
I have a database list, and run a bunch of formatting, inserting, formulas etc., to be able to have a Word Mail Merge be able to run against the data when finished. I'm automating the process and want to be able to open the Word document when the Excel piece is done, so the user doesn't have to navigate to the file manually.
Since Excel doesn't seem to automatically 'see' Word docs in the Open File dialog list, my Open File code below is getting an error of "File Format is Not Valid":
ChDir "O:UAIBDCustomer RelationsIDHome Office Indexing"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"O:UAIBDCustomer RelationsIDHome Office IndexingID Home Office Indexing Mail Merge Template TESTING.docx"
I have Mac 2008 Excel. For my work, I download .asp files and open them in Excel. No problem. The problem is... I'm wanting to use another computer at work that has Mac 2011. When I open the exact same .asp files, they show coding (html?). I can fix this by changing the name of the file extension from ".asp" to ".xls." But I convert these files a lot during the day and this is an extra step I don't want to take. And it works fine in version 2008. So what can I do in version 2011 to make it open the files without all the coding?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to open multiple .txt files into one excel document. I had been using a code that opened all the files I wanted into a NEW excel document. I have a template that I use and I want the files to open in sheets following the main template sheet. This is what I have been using:
Sub CombineTextFiles()
Dim FilesToOpen
Dim x As Integer
[Code]...
And it worked just fine for that purpose but how could I edit this?
how I could use VBA to make a table out of data that would be cool too.
I have 2 UserForms at the moment. They only serve as a sort of welcome screen when you open the xls file. I have this code to open the Userform.

Currently what I am doing is searching the index for a particular drawing and then searching the folder for that drawing to open.
I'm using Excel 2007. I didn't change a single option but for some reason this problem came up. When I open an already saved Excel file it opens up in a newly created file. For example, if I open a file saved as "Monthly Sales" it will open it up and rename it as "Monthly Sales1." When I go to save it again, which would normally just save it where it currently sits, it basically acts as if I hit Save As and pops up the box asking me where I want to save it. This is extremely annoying as most of the places where these files are saved are several folders deep which makes it time consuming every time I open and alter a file. I can't find any options that looks something like this and it only happens in Excel.

When I attempt to open a file I get a blank screen. If I try to close the window it asks if I want to save the file so it is must be open but not visible. Have I inadvertently clicked on an icon with which I am not familiar?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAll of the sudden, I've started having issues on one PC with Excel opening CSV files.
I work with these files every day and they work on other computers.
The problem is that if the field value starts with a dash, Excel will not show any records before that. Meaning, if there is a record on line 50000 that starts with a dash, it will not show the previous 49000 records.
I can open the file in Notepad++ and find all '- and replace it with ' and it will work fine. But I have hundreds of files.
This just started. I'm using using Office 2010 x64. I'm tempted to get Office 2013 to see if this will resolve it as something has obviously went wrong.
In the past, I would open the CSV files just like any Excel file and NEVER any issues. I would do this with multiple files each day but even the file that I use to not have issues with in the past is now an issue if it has a dash in a field.
I'm using excel 2010 and pdf creator to make a pdf (and open it automatically). It works with the following code:

path and filename are previously defined objects.
I'm using pdfcreator because the code also has to be used with excel2003 on another pc. The problem is that I get an error (probably for trying to open the newly creating pdf-file).

I have a file that is on a server. When I open it on my excel it opens an old version of it and not the newest copy. If I open it on a coworkers computer, it does open the correct newer version. How do I change this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an excel add-in which is a ribbon which houses a great deal of financial tools that I use on a regular basis so I don't have to hunt around excel for things I use regularly. The add-in has always loaded automatically whenever I opened excel - whether I opened excel by creating a new blank document or by double clicking a previously existing file.
Starting a few days ago though, the add-in only opens when opening excel by creating a new blank file. I can't think of anything that changed recently. Using Excel 2007.
Even when opening a file by double clicking, Excel still says the add-in is active (in excel options).
I received a few 1-3gb xml files from the government and I would like to open them in an Excel format. I have tried opening them using Excel 2013 (both as an xml table and as a read only workbook) with a machine running 8gb RAM and a 3.4 ghz i5 processor. I left it running overnight but Excel continues to "not respond". The file is intended to display thousands of line items with around 40-50 columns of data. For previous (and much smaller) similar files, the saved workbook is a manageable file. The only hurdle here is getting these open.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with importing CSV files into Excel. My CSVs contain dates formatted Canadian style, dd/mm/yyyy. However, when some users open these files, Excel interprets the date as mm/dd/yyyy. (So the text string "01/09/2013", which should mean Sep 1 2013, becomes Jan 9 2013. The string "16/09/13" isn't recognized by Excel as a date at all.)
The annoying thing is that only some users have this problem. I've checked their Region and Language settings in the Control Panel and they're correctly set to English (Canada). I've also gone over their Excel preferences and couldn't find anything that seemed different from mine (or anything related to date formats at all, really).
I can work around by using the Import From Text option in the Data menu, but the users involved aren't techies and they need to open CSVs fairly often, so I'd prefer to streamline the process.
is it possible to change the settings on your computer so that when you open Excel, it opens it as a certain type of file? I like working with .xlsb because I work with large sets of data all of the time and find that they open faster and are faster to work with. Currently every time I open Excel, it opens as .xlsx.
