Save Settings Wizard For New Computer
Jul 25, 2008
I was reinstalling office on a laptop where the hard drive had been replaced. I used the 'save settings, wizard on my desktop and put in the new settings when I reinstalled Office.
This almost worked, but not quite.
Word and PowerPoint seem to be fine but when I reopened Excel I got a number of messages saying that objects could not be loaded because they were not on the machine. Some of this was because Excel was trying to reference add-ins that needed to be reinstalled. I have done that, and there are now fewer messages - but there are still two and I can't get rid of them. One looks for 'objects' the other a single 'object'. There seems no way of finding out what the objects are in question, and what it that Excel is stumbling over. Can I do anything other than abandoning my previous settings and starting again, or else living with having to click twice every time I start excel to get rid of the messages?
I have tried uninstalling Excel and reinstalling but this doesn't help. Perhaps registry changes are the problem...and I hate the registry.

I want to transfer my Excel-icons. Some of them are custom buttons where I have added user-defined functions. Is there any way I can do this? A list of icons with their function or purpose is OK as well.

Is there way we can save the layout and other preferences / settings (and there are a huge no of those in excel) to a file or can we copy out the file where excel saves this data ? Probably a User Interface folder or something ? This is so that when i do a fresh reinstall of MS OFFICE i dont want to spend so much time resetting the customizations ive created over time.

I am trying to figure out how to save a worksheet's autofiltering settings and be able to re-create those settings.
I would start off with a spreadsheet with a few Autofilters on. I would like to make a macro that will record the initial Autofilter settings, then the macro would do a bunch of stuff that would need to 'Show All'. After these actions take place, I would like to be able to return to the initial Autofilter settings. I'm not even sure which VBA command should be used for this sort of thing.

I am trying to use a shell command to dig into a specified directory (and ideally all sub-directories) and open every pdf file and re-save with security settings changed (adding a password to prevent printing). I can't seem to get the shell command to run from where it is:
Option Explicit
Sub OpenPDFFilesAndSave()
'opens every pdf file in a directory
Dim FSO As Object, Fld As Object, Fil As Object
Dim MainFolderName As String, i As Integer
Dim RetVal As Variant
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
MainFolderName = "C:Test"
Set Fld = FSO.GetFolder(MainFolderName)
For Each Fil In Fld.Files
i = i + 1
RetVal = Shell("C:Program FilesAdobeAcrobat 7.0
_&AcrobatAcrobat.exe MainFolderName & " " & Fil. Name")
Next
'have to add save the file, and change the print settings but not figured that out yet
End Sub

I've created a spreadsheet of clients and info; I want each client name to link to their specific folder on my computer for easy referencing. I entered in all the links and they work just fine; however, when i tried to save the file to another location on my computer so it could be used by another employee (same terminal, etc, just in another folder) the hyperlinks stopped working.

I am having trouble getting Excel 2007 on my work computer to save as .xlsx by default.
I have opened the Office Button > Excel Options > Save > Save files in this format and selected "Excel Workbook (*.xlsx)," and if I save as before closing Excel then it works perfect and saves the file as .xlsx. However if I close Excel, re-open it later and save a new file the default "Save as type:" is "Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls)" and if I open the save options again the "Save files in this format" option is reverted back to "Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls)."
I have finally overcome the [Compatibility Mode] issue by saving a file named "Book.xltx" (not "Book1.xltx") in the two default locations "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12XLSTART" and "D:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftExcelXLSTART" (we use the D: drive at work for personal files). I thought this would solve the save as issue but it hasn't. I have also changed the "Save files in this format" before saving the .xltx files in the locations to apply the settings to those specific files but that hasn't worked.
It is on my work computer so I am limited in what settings I can change because they have them pretty well locked down.

I'm using the conditional sum wizard to gather the cost of some projects based on two other conditions:
Column 1 is Country
Column 2 is Cost
Column 3 is Category
I have sucessfully used it with several countries but after sucessfully returning the correct resultsa for 5 countries it says "The formula you are building is too long. Please specify fewer conditions" - The amount of conditions is the same as the sum just before it which worked fine!!!

I am trying to create a formula in the Conditional Formatting wizard.
I would like the formula to format B2:F2 in a particular way if a count of the number of values in this range equals 5 AND if all values are less than or equal to 25.
I have tried with following formula without success:
=IF(AND(COUNT(B2:F2)=5),COUNTIF(B2:F2,”<=25”)=5),””))

Is there a way to reset the defaults for the text import wizard? I occasionally import a number of files in CSV format, but the wizard defaults to tabs as the means of separating the text. I would like to reset the default on the second page of the wizard to commas, not tabs.

I am pasting query results from WinSQL into Excel and use 'Paste' and then, from the little Paste Options icon, 'Use Text Import Wizard'. I choose tab delimited and then reset the decimal separater using the 'Advanced' button on step 3. Since I do this daily I would like to create a macro to do it all for me, namely paste what I have already copied to the clipboard using the appropriate settings. Recording doesn't reflect the steps I executed. How can I call the text import wizard from vba with the clipboard contents as input as opposed to a text file?

im building a user registration form in excel
now i realy would like to have a search form within my wizard but
i cant get it done.
i have read some other articals relating to this but they dont do
multiple field search (like day of birth and telephone numbers etc)
the form i would like to have should do a search for exmp. by phone number but than also displays all other corresponding user info in the results
the xls file included has some advanced features like automated building of commandbar menu's and has mailing features (currently quoted out) + build in timer events + on close auto save + allot.

I have created several userforms within my excel spreadsheet and i want to be able to click a command button on one form which will then hide the current form and show the next form. In previous spreadsheets i have used the following:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Form1.Hide
Form2.Show
End Sub
However, i am having trouble with this spreadsheet as when i am typing my code after the Form1. the hide command (and show) does not appear in the little pop scroll bar that predicts what command you plan to use. (If i type it regardless then it doesnt execute)
What is even stranger is that if i write a sub routine in a module such as:
Sub Test_Form()
Form1.Hide
Form2.Show
End Sub
And then call it:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call Test_Form
End Sub

i'm trying to build an app that'll take a user through 5 or 6 steps of a process, with maybe 2-3 substeps in some steps. right now i'm currently using a multipage Userform , but all the tabs make the whole thing look cluttered (even when there's a "Next" button in plain sight). this is especially because i've put each substep as a multipage form under that step's page (multipage forms inside a multipage form). so steps 1-5 would each have their own pages (1-5), then in page 1 you'd have another multipage form (1.a. - 1.c.). is there a way to make it look simpler? i'd like it to look a bit like a Wizard (ie remove all the tabs), but the only way i can think of is to throw a whole heap of controls on one page, and turn them visible/invisible each step of the way.

I have a table of data as below recording daily foreign exchange rates.
Column A = Time and date
Column B = USA
Column C = UK
Column D = Aust.
Column E = Japan
Column F = Euro
Time and date USA UKAust.JapanEuro
04-Jan-20060.68390.39180.924379.470.5693
05-Jan-20060.68660.39050.918779.720.5666
06-Jan-20060.68710.39150.919579.720.5675
Then in column H i have a formula that works out if the rate has exceeded a specified base rate, if it has i display Threshold Exceeded and if it hasn’t i display No Action Required.
OK from here i want to count the number of times in the month the Threshold has been exceeded. I can do this by using the countif formula.
Now this is the section i need help on
For a specified time, say a month, i want to count the maximum number of times the Threshold has been exceeded consecutively.
E.g
Threshold Exceeded
Threshold Exceeded
Threshold Exceeded
Threshold Exceeded
Threshold Exceeded
No Action Required
No Action Required
Threshold Exceeded
Threshold Exceeded
Threshold Exceeded
Result = 5 (max number of consecutive Threshold Exceeded” for a specified time frame)

I am trying to create a line graph and I have 17 rows of data for 17 different employees. There are 18 rows when including the header row.
My data is as follows
Column A - Employee Name
Column B - Month 1 data
Column C - Month 2 data
Column D - Month 3 data
Column E - Month 4 data
Column F - Month 5 data
When I highlight the data and go to the chart wizard, I select "Series in Rows".
However, on the series tab it only brings in the data for 6 employees.
Is there a way to automatically bring in all the data without having to do it manually, or is this a limitation of Excel?

I am importing a text file that has a lot more than 256 columns. The data will be updated weekly with a different text file. I know how to get past the 256 column limit when importing a text file like this. This link explains the method I am using to import the text file. [url] Since I am importing onto several sheets I get the dialogue box asking me to choose a file to import from for every sheet when I use RefreshAll. The same file that is used by the first sheet will be used by the rest of the sheets. Each sheet just imports a different section of columns from the text file. I want to avoid choosing the same file 30 plus times (once for each sheet) when I click refresh all. Is there a code that would allow me to choose the file for the first sheet, and the other sheets would follow suite?
