I've tried disabling "Save AutoRecover information" option, but to no avail. The window "Excel has recovered the following files" still pops up at the start.
Any other ideas?
UPD Auto-recover window is shown each start after I terminate Excel during my debug session.
All file entries Excel shows in the auto-recover window are dated by year 1601. I checked Excel auto-recover folder, and there is no any real file there.
I am putting together a workbook with 52 sheets for the weeks in the year. In this workbook there are multiple columns for percentages on each sheet.
I want to be able to change the color of each cell based on whethernit increases (green) or decreases (red) from the same cell in the previous sheet.
I have the formula i.e. =IF(ISERROR(B4/D4),"0", B4/D4) to calculate my percentages but I don't know how to put the reference in for this change. Any help?
We have users who share a single email account by using the Additional Email option under their accounts. Now, they want to assign emails to one another using the markers alongside the emails. We noticed that when changing the color of a marker, one Outlook client updated immediately, but another Outlook client did not. It looked like they were both set to "Cached Mode". Is it likely that caching effected the refresh of the client? Would it be better to turn off cached mode if we are using Outlook this way?

i am using power point lectures.
i want to mail merge speaker data into the respective lecture.
now thats not possible with ppt as far i know, so i have to convert these lectures to handout by using power point option "publishMS word handouts" and use word mail merger.
this is good since it will keep the comments/notes added in slides in handouts aswell.
but these exported handouts in word remain actual slides and retain link to original ppt rather than simply get exported as images. so the file size gets verrry big 10mb ppt = 212mb doc=88mb docx
Is there any option to convert handouts exported from power point to word as images?
i simply cant save them as pngs from powerpoint since that will not include the comments data.
Thanks
I can only undo once in Excel and I have taken the steps to change the number in the Edit Registry and that did not fix the problem. Help! Very Annoying!!!
In an Excel spreadsheet, I'd like to automatically update a cell with the current date and time when another cell is changed (like an update timestamp).
Do you have any pointers on how to do that?
I need to generate folders containing certain Excel field entries:
Additionally, I need to append a date to the folder name based on that entry
So If I have the above Excel table, I'd need the following set of folders to be generated in the same directory:
Is this possible using a macro? Also, in case I add another entry how would I generate another folder only for that entry; for example I add another project CWO-1106:
Basically, I'd like to keep updating the Excel sheet and create folders only for the new entries
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have an email listed as being sent by my outlook account that I did not send. In order to figure out who it was sent to, I forwarded it to the same address (hotmail account) and received a reply that there was no such address. I've tried looking up that address and it does not appear to exist. Can someone fake an email and have it appear in my outlook sent items folder as being sent by me? How can I tell who did this?
While formatting a Word document, I applied the action, "Apply style to body to match selection".
The document ended up looking very wrong with the formatting all over the place - it even affected the numbers inside tables.
I'm not sure what happened or how to correct this.
kitco.com provides a realtime price quote for gold and other metals. I have a spreadsheet which makes calculations based on the price of gold and would like for this realtime value to automatically be updated on my excel sheet. I tried 'get external data' from a website but that didn't work. any ideas?
EDIT ADDED: Kitco has a gadget called KCAST which displays realtime quotes on the Windows taskbar. I tried capturing those values from the taskbar but that didn't work either. Maybe if Kitco provided an API or feed, it could be done?
I am trying to move messages from a rather large mailbox to an archive mailbox. However I run into errors all the time.
the command I am executing is
Export-Mailbox -Identity MAILBOX_FROM -TargetMailbox ARCHIVE -TargetFolder ARCHIVE_FOLDER -StartDate 2009-02-01 -EndDate 2009-02-28 -DeleteContent -Confirm:$false
I can copy/move some messages, but run into frequent "an unknown error has occurred" (statuscode -1056749164)
I run the console as administrative user, and all permissions are set right, as far as I can tell. I've restricted the start and end dates in case the number of messages moved/deleted should create problems.
Anything I am missing in my setup? Corrupted messages? Over-limit message sizes?
Update:
What I've learnt so far, is that folder with more than approx 3000 messages will generate errors. If mail retention is set (default 30 days), Export-Mailbox will scan all messages whether these were deleted in previous runs or not, and date restriction to limit number of messages will not work.
To avoid errors, I've switched off deleted message retention for the mailbox, and moved the messages from one large folder to multiple folders, and moved these one by one...
Is there an option or style where I can make a selection and on its first letter, have that be set at a larger font size, and possibly another color?
Say I have a selection of text all set to 11 point in black, but I would like the first letter to be at 14 point in red.
How would I do this?
I'm trying to format cells in Excel so that they display the total duration of phone calls as hh:mm:ss, but Excel is giving me errors.
Sometimes durations are only mm:ss (49:10), or even just ss (35), and I need them by default to change to 00:49:10 and 00:00:35 respectivly. However, when I select 'Custom' on the 'Number' tab when formatting the cells and enter either 00:00:00 or ##:##:##, Excel tells me -
Microsoft Office Excel cannot use the number format you typed.
Also, hh:mm:ss will not work for me, as I'm dealing in durations, not times. Is anyone able to tell me how do format this? Thanks.
I have a bit of a problem evaluating an excel cell. Example:
M M M M M M M M M
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
2;5;7
1;9
3;5;7;9
I have a number of excel cells which contain numbers (months). In the first column I have a series of numbers. I want to use conditional formatting to color the corresponding cells in the right columns. If correctly colored I would get something like this:
M M M M M M M M M
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
2;5;7 X X X
1;9 X X
3;5;7;9 X X X X
The formula I have now is this:
IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(L$22;$K23));$H23;"")
but the problem is that cells are colored too which contain part of a number. If I enter 10;15 as input I get this:
M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
10;15 X X X X
because 1 and 5 are found too. I only want column 10 and 15 to be marked. How can I change the formula or the input?
I have dates that are running off a formula in that column based on information it is collecting from other worksheets. I have another column that lists text answers based on a different formula that that column is running.
It is a customer list that runs with names going down page and multiple columns of information for each client running across page
What i want to do is:
If column j says "paid" then turn column m - same row - a color or border or something
I will repeat this formula for the various things that j can say, just cant figure out how to make conditional formatting read j to change m.
To complicate things, in addition to the formula running to collect the date in m, there is also a conditional format set up for m that changes the color of the cells after a certain date. I want to be able to keep that formula, in addition to the one that you are assisting with...i will use highlighting, or something different to avoid any conflicts.
I downloaded Windows 8 update from Microsoft's site and installed it. Everything works perfectly except Outlook.
Sometimes receiving messages doesn't work for whatever reason. Now the problem is sending and replying. Before these two worked but after receiving messages started to work, these problems have occurred.
When I try to press New to create a new email, I get the following error message
Cannot create the e-mail message because a data file to send and receive messages cannot be found. To add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double click the Mail icon in Windows Control.
When I try to reply a message, I get the following one
The operation failed. An object could not be found.
After the update Outlook worked ok. I've had other problems with Outlook too.
I have my bank account statement and what I would like to do is group the descriptions of the transactions together with their debit or credit and sum their total. I could then see that, e.g., for ebay.com my total debit was $2000, etc.
Description Debit Credit
A 1
B 1
A 1
B 1
C 1
D 1
A 1
What I want to do is use a pivot table
Description Debit Credit
A 3
B 2
C 1
D 1
I am no able to do that, as I can't group the description and have additional debit and credit columns -- I get them all in rows with blanks.
In the last week, clicking on links from within Outlook email messages stopped working. The links appear clickable, but clicking them doesn't do anything.
How do I fix this?

We have a sheet with a huge number of columns and filtering is often used to navigate to the correct data. The problem is that sometimes its not obvious that the filter has been applied , the visual cue is very subtle. Is it possible to show some data via a formula or VBA about the filter inside another cell?
Something like this:
Just knowing if the filter is active would be a good help, knowing what columns have active filters applied to them would be icing on the cake. Ideally they update automatically.
I dont have ownership of the spreadsheet so cant make major changes to its structure or anything but VBA is fine.
Any ideas?
I am compiling a comparison of different pieces of software in an Excel spreadsheet. It is a big long list of features (the rows), with each column being one of the applications I'm evaluating. I've used styles to visually show how well each product meets each feature, as well as the importance of that feature, and now I'm wondering if there's a way I can use those annotations in a formula.
The table is like:
. | Product A | Product B | Product C
Feature A | blah blah blah
Feature B | blah blah blah
Feature C | blah blah blah
.... |
.... |
etc |
Where I've put 'blah' in the table above, in my actual spreadsheet is (potentially lengthy) descriptive text explaining something about this feature in the given product.
I've then used the styles "Good", "Neutral" and "Bad" to visually annotate the description, to show how well each product meets that feature.
For each feature I've also used the styles Accent4, 60% Accent4, 40% Accent4, etc, to annotate the importance of each feature.
Now I'm wondering if somehow I can use those styles (the annotations) to tot up a total score for each product.
e.g., Score for feature A = valueof(60% Accent4) * valueof(Good)
Is it possible at all?
today has been one of those days.
Yesterday a hard drive in our Dell Poweredge 2900 server failed and the RAID array didn't degrade gracefully, so I called Dell (Server still under warranty) and got an engineer to work though the RAID issues with me.
He was a nice guy but didn't do too much. We tried to put the RAID in a state where it was bootable and even though we only lost one disk there are still issues with the server.
Once we got the server to boot there was an error message saying that the logonui.exe was corrupted and we needed to run chkdsk. I clicked through the error messages and the login screen never came up. So I power cycled the server and it chkdsk automatically but the login screen didn't appear. I tried safe mode, no difference there either.
So the issues I am currently having are:
1) The server boots up, the loading windows screen comes up then it dumps me into a black screen where I can only see my mouse cursor. Ctrl+Esc doesn't work Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work
2) Some of the services come up: DHCP, DNS, DFS, and Print come up
3) The exchange information store and transport service don't start - I tried using mmc to connect to services.msc on the computer and start them but they throw an error message of "Can't start because group or dependency failed"
Has anyone had a problem like this? Can anyone offer some guidance?
Thanks a bunch!
I know I can select all cells in a particular column by clicking on column header descriptor (ie. A or AB). But is it possible to then exclude a few cells out of it, like my data table headings?
Example
I would like to select data cells of a particular column to set Data Validation (that would eventually display a drop down of list values defined in a named range). But I don't want my data header cells to be included in this selection (so they won't have these drop downs displayed nor will they be validated). What if I later decide to change validation settings of these cells?
How can I selection my column then?
A sidenote
I know I can set data validation on the whole column and then select only those cells that I want to exclude and clear their data validation. What I would like to know is is ti possible to do the correct selection in the first step to avoid this second one.
I tried clicking on the column descriptor to select the whole column and then CTRL-click those cells I don't want to include in my selection, but it didn't work as expected.
Why do I get updates (in Windows Update) for Office components that are not installed?
E.g. I have not installed InfoPath or Publisher but Windows Update lists updates for them.
Should I ignore them (will it waste space?) or do I need to install them?
