• Developer Tab Excel 2016 For Mac
• Excel 2016 For Mac Open Workbook On Startup

It is trial and error to get things working in Office 2016 the same way as in Office 2011. Acknowledgements Many thanks to Bastiaan Boertien(applescript specialist) for his help to get this working.

The files they are opening are under a network share folder. The only thing that is actually getting them by is if they pull the Excel file they working with out of the network share folder onto locally the desktop then it opens fast (which they should not have to do).

Once it does, click Return Data to drop your data right back into your worksheet. And that’s it; your data is now in your Excel workbook, live and ready to use in Excel 2016 for Mac or Excel for Windows! Working with a third-party data provider works the exact same way. The only difference is that after installing the data provider, you select New Database Query > From Database and then select your data provider from the Apple iODBC manager. Now it’s your turn!

As it happens, the Cortana fix has never worked for me. I’ve experimented with all the other possible fixes in the last year and nothing has made any difference. It doesn’t happen all the time but that’s part of the mystery, because I have no idea when I’ll have an unexpected delay while a client waits on the phone for me to open up their records.

This message instructs Excel to open the workbook that you double-clicked. If you select the 'Ignore' option, Excel ignores DDE messages that are sent to it by other programs. Therefore, the DDE message that is sent to Excel by Windows Explorer is ignored, and Excel does not open the workbook that you double-clicked. I had a macro using Workbooks.Open that worked on Excel 2011 and doesn't work on 2016. I got it to work by changing the format of the file path. Now the path separators are not colon but they are slash.

Nothing appears. However, when I then quit Excel, it prompts me to confirm whether I want to save changes to the spreadsheet, so it is partially opening the spreadsheet. There are no error messages displayed.

Here is the list of issues: Complete crash: when 'fill effects.' Are used in 'Conditional formatting' and I click 'Manage rules' Excel crashes and restarts: When VBA project is open and in a workbook I have blank 'User form', NO VBA code at all - if you exit and click save 'Out of memory' is displayed. Unexpected crash: Sometimes having 2 or 3 workbooks open Excel closes unexpectedly. (Complex file can be damaged in such event.) I also thought Add-ins could be a reason, but that is not true. I uninstalled all add-ins - no result I personally believe this issue has nothing to do with Add-ins and it could be big bug:) in Excel 16 -32 bit Regards and good luck finding solution. Hope it will be useful with case on my laptop too Gio. I have been having ongoing issues for months now.

This Excel VBA Open Workbook Tutorial is accompanied by an Excel workbook containing the data and basic structure macros I use (including the Open_Workbook_Dialog macro). You can get immediate free access to this example workbook by subscribing to the Power Spreadsheets Newsletter. Let's take a look at each of the statements that makes part of the Open_Workbook_Dialog macro to understand how it proceeds: Statement #1: Dim my_FileName As Variant This particular statement is a variable declaration statement.

Excel 2016 Data-Entry Etiquette To begin to work on a new Excel 2016 spreadsheet, you simply start entering information in the first sheet of the Book1 workbook window. Here are a few simple guidelines (a kind of data-entry etiquette) to keep in mind when you create an Excel spreadsheet in Sheet1 of a new workbook: • Whenever you can, organize your information in tables of data that use adjacent (neighboring) columns and rows. Start the tables in the upper-left corner of the worksheet and work your way down the sheet, rather than across the sheet, whenever possible. When it’s practical, separate each table by no more than a single column or row. • When you set up these tables, don’t skip columns and rows just to “space out” the information. (To place white space between information in adjacent columns and rows, you can widen columns, heighten rows, and change the alignment.) • Reserve a single column at the left edge of the table for the table’s row headings.

We have a batch of OptiPlex 3050 workstations with a fresh deployed image build of win10 1703 with office 2016 that all have the issue. Other models of workstations with the same image work fine, leading me to think there was a specific hardware or driver issue. Turns out it was the audio driver – specifically the Waves MaxxAudio Pro that runs on startup (WaveSvc64.exe). A very recent driver update on the Dell site fixed that for me. If this fixes the slow start up of excel, but you now get a blank excel screen with no file, you probably need to untick “ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” in advanced options.

The UpdateLinks parameter can take the following 2 values: • 0: In this case, external references/links aren't updated when the Excel workbook is opened. • 3: When using this value, the external references/links are updated when the workbook opens. The following screenshot shows the VBA code of the sample Open_Workbook_Basic macro where the UpdateLinks parameter has been added and is set to 3. Since the UpdateLinks parameter isn't required, you can omit it. In that case, Excel generally defaults to asking the user how links are updated.

Well, now you can with cross-platform compatibility. • If you want to connect to something other than SQL Server, we still have several great partners offering to connect to any data source you can imagine. In addition, all of the ways in which you interact with external data are now consistent between the platforms.

In the sample Open_Workbooks_Dialog macro I've only used 1 (FileFilter). In order to see which other settings you can work with, let's take a closer look at the syntax of GetOpenFilename and its 4 other parameters: The Application.GetOpenFilename Method: Full Syntax The following is the full syntax of the Application.GetOpenFilename method: expression.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter, FilterIndex, Title, ButtonText, MultiSelect) “expression” stands for a variable representing an Application object. In practice, you're like to end up simply using the Application object itself instead of such a variable. Therefore, you're likely to commonly use the following syntax: Application.GetOpenFilename This is, for example, the syntax used in the Open_Workbook_Dialog macro, as shown below: I explain the FileFilter argument of the Application.GetOpenFilename method above. Let's continue to dissect this helpful method by taking a look at the other 4 available parameters: Parameters Of the Application.GetOpenFilename Method The following table lists and introduces the 5 parameters of the GetOpenFilename method.

Thanks for helping make community forums a great place. Click to participate the survey. Below is the code from a version that has worked for years in Windows. If we do are something wrong, I would very much appreciate knowing what it is. Much of this code was developed by independent study students at my University, and sometimes shortcuts and mistakes accumulate.

3 ReadOnly Determines whether workbook opens in read-only mode. 4 Format Applies when opening a text file. Determines the delimiter character. 5 Password Password required to open protected workbook. 6 WriteResPassword Password required to write in a write-reserved workbook. 7 IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended Applies when a workbook is saved with Read-Only Recommended option enabled.

Or the VBA documentation should be modified to document that ReadOnly = False is ignored when opened from server. Absolutely a terrible decision. This is causing nothing but grief after we have switched from our internal file server to OneDrive/Sharepoint. Every Excel file that gets opened must have “Edit Workbook” clicked to work on it, and the [Read Only] status in the title bar does not always go away, but user’s often don’t notice that until they’ve made many changes and try to save. We are using current versions of Office 2016 and OneDrive, and there does not seem to be an option to change this default behaviour.

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue when running certain Excel macros in 2016. I've been able to convert most of my macros from 2011 work in 2016 (I've even been able to get AppleScriptTask functions to work), but I'm running into an issue that I can't seem to figure out that occurs only when the macro has to open a workbook and continue running. The macros are contained with an XLAM file, and they are accessed through a custom ribbon which is loaded whenever a file is opened in Excel.

To install and use an add-in, select Insert@@→My Add-ins@@→See All on the Ribbon and then select the STORE option in the Office Add-ins dialog box. Free apps for Excel 2016 include the Bing Maps app to plot locations, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary app to look up words, and the Mini Calendar and Date Picker app to help you enter dates in your worksheet. • Quick Analysis tool: The Quick Analysis tool appears at the lower-right corner of any selected table in an Excel 2016 worksheet. This tool contains options for applying conditional formats, creating a chart or pivot table, totaling values in rows or columns, or adding sparklines for the data in the selected table. And thanks to Excel’s Live Preview, you can see how your table data would appear using the various options before you apply any of them. • Flash Fill: This nifty feature is literally a mind reader when it comes to dealing with multipart cell entries in a single column of the worksheet that contains discrete elements you could better use if they were entered all by themselves in separate columns of the sheet.

That's why we just want to put a button on the ribbon through VBA. Option Explicit Dim x As New EventClassModule Private Sub Workbook_AddinInstall() Set x.App = Application modYASAI.AddYasaiMenuItem End Sub Private Sub Workbook_AddinUninstall() modYASAI.RemoveYasaiMenuItem End Sub Private Sub Workbook_Open() Set x.App = Application End Sub.

Screenshot can be used to quickly insert a screenshot of any program that is open on the computer. • Apps – You can use this group to insert an existing App into excel. You can also purchase an App from the Store section. Bing Maps app allows you to use the location data from a given column and plot it on Bing Maps. Also there is new feature called People Data which allows you to transform boring data into an exciting one. • Charts – This is one of the most useful features in Excel. It helps you visualize the data in graphical format.

This is the case even if you select a single file. Therefore, when you enable MultiSelect, you must make the following 2 modifications to the VBA code example that appears above: • Set the MultiSelect parameter to True. • Treat the my_FileName variable as an array.

• 2: Stands for msoAutomationSecurityByUI. In this case, the actual security setting is set through the Security dialog box. • 3: This is called msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable.

This lets you and the people you share with edit the same workbook without having to keep track of multiple versions. In order to share a workbook, it must first be saved to your OneDrive.

Quite a few retailers still have stock, just Google for it. In that case the presence of macros may be co-incidental and not the cause of the error message. That message can be triggered by things like the workbook including PivoTable report styles that are not available on Mac or using features that are not programmed for the Mac yet. Without actually looking at the file, it's hard to tell what feature that might be, and the error message is not specific at all. You might ask the sender to save the file as a PDF, so you can at least see what is supposed to appear in the blank area. I have been praying for a new version of MS Office since 2011 when Microsoft nerfed VB in excel, just spent 3 days downloading updates (including OSX so I could actually upgrade office), and then the latest patch for office 2016 and same old issue. This is so unbelievable.

Macros are nothing but a recorder of actions taken in excel and it has the capability to execute the same actions again if required. If you learned something new or enjoyed this post please leave a comment below. Let me know what you think. Many thanks and take care. Happy Learning!

The reason is that this allows you to use this precise same method in cases in which you need to get the path/name/extension of an Excel workbook for purposes other than opening it. Therefore, in order to open an Excel workbook through the Open dialog box while using VBA, you need to use both of the following methods: • Item #1: The Application.GetOpenFilename method returns the name of the workbook to be opened. • Item #2: The Workbooks.Open method actually opens the workbook whose path/name/extension is provided by the Application.GetOpenFilename method. The Application.GetOpenFilename method has 5 variables. However, just as we did with the Workbooks.Open method, let's take a look at a very basic piece of VBA code that allows you to: • Browse the available drives for purposes of finding and selecting the Excel workbook you want to open; and • Actually open the selected file. In such a case, the syntax of the basic VBA statements that you need is as follows: Dim my_FileName As Variant my_FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:=”Excel Files,*.xl*;*.xm*”) If my_FileName False Then Workbooks.Open FileName:=my_FileName End If The following screenshot shows the full VBA code of a sample macro called “Open_Workbook_Dialog”.

If you're opening an Excel workbook that anyway requires a password and you omit the relevant argument (Password or WriteResPassword, as the case may be), Excel asks the user for the appropriate password. Let's assume, for illustrative purposes, that the “Example – VBA open workbook.xlsx” opened by the Open_Workbook_Basic macro is protected by the password “VBA open workbook”. The following screenshot displays the VBA code of the macro with the appropriate Password argument: Argument #7: IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended As explained at, you can set a particular Excel workbook to be read-only recommended. You do this by activating the Read-Only Recommended option when saving the relevant workbook. The consequence of this is that, when the read-only recommended workbook is opened, Excel displays a message recommending that the workbook is opened as read-only. If the IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended argument is set to True, Excel doesn't display this particular message when opening the workbook. The following screenshot displays the VBA code of the of the Open_Workbook_Basic macro with the IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended argument.

Hiding Columns You can also hide data by hiding cells, rows, and columns within a worksheet. There are a few reasons you may choose to do this. It may be to simplify the worksheet and make it easier to navigate or to protect certain information. As with all Microsoft products, there is more than one way to do a certain task. You can use the steps above for hiding sheets to hide columns and rows. But there's also another way. Let's learn how to hide columns by using the Column Header Bar. This is the bar where the column letters are: A, B, C, etc.

Just to jump on the bandwagon, we are having similar Excel crashes, on multiple machines and for multiple users. We also see the error to many times.

Quite a few things, starting with the removal of the Standard and Formatting toolbars. While you could hide these in Excel 2011, they’re completely gone—replaced by the task pane—in Excel 2016. I don’t miss them at all, as they were redundant and took up screen space. Also new is greatly improved sharing. Save your file to OneDrive, and you can then use a sharing button to invite people via their email address, copy a link you can then email to others, or send the workbook as either a PDF or native workbook attachment.

The CorruptLoad argument can take 1 of the following 3 values: • 0: Represents xlNormalLoad. In this case, the Excel workbook is opened normally. This is the default value, and applies if you don't specify anything else. • 1: Stands for xlRepairFile. In such a case, the Excel workbook is opened in repair mode.

Excel (Bill Jelen) and Excel expert Tracy Syrstad in Excel 2013 VBA and Macros, is that: One of the most common client interactions is when you need the client to specify a path and filename. So let's take a look at the exact topics that I explain in this blog post.

Ctrl+Left arrow or End, Left arrow First occupied cell to the left in the same row that is either preceded or followed by a blank cell. If no cell is occupied, the pointer goes to the cell at the very beginning of the row. Ctrl+Up arrow or End, Up arrow First occupied cell above in the same column that is either preceded or followed by a blank cell. If no cell is occupied, the pointer goes to the cell at the very top of the column. Ctrl+Down arrow or End, Down arrow First occupied cell below in the same column that is either preceded or followed by a blank cell. If no cell is occupied, the pointer goes to the cell at the very bottom of the column.

Ribbons are divided into logical groups called Tabs and Each tab has its own set of unique function to perform. There are various tabs – Home, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Date, Review and View. How to Collapse (Minimize) Ribbons If you do not want to see the commands in the Ribbons, you can always Collapse or Minimize Ribbons For this RIGHT click on Ribbon Area and you will see various options available here. Here you need to choose “Collapse the Ribbon”. Once you choose this, the visible groups go away and they are now hidden under the tab. You can always click on the tab to show the commands. How to Customize Ribbons Many a times it is handy to customize Ribbon containing the commands that you frequently use.

This new editor is definitely a step forward, even with the absence of userforms. I realize that Excel 2011 for Mac did have userforms, so compared to that it is still lacking features. You can run userforms on the Excel 2016 for Mac. They will just have to be developed in either a Windows version or Excel 2011.

If Microsoft Excel refuses to share a certain workbook, most likely it's because of one of the following reasons: • Workbooks that have tables or XML maps cannot be shared. So, be sure to and remove the XML maps before sharing your Excel file. • To be able to share a workbook, some privacy settings need to be disabled. Go to File > Excel Options > Trust Center, click the Trust Center Settings button, and under the Privacy Options category, uncheck the Remove personal information from file properties on save box.

• Filters – There are two types of filters available – Slicer allows you to filter the data visually and can be used to filter tables, pivot tables data etc. Timeline filter allows you to filter the dates interactively. • Hyperlink – This is a great tool to provide hyperlinks from the excel sheet to an external URL or files. Hyperlinks can also be used to create a navigation structure with the excel sheet that is easy to use.

After reading some forums and googling around it seems I have found the solution which seems to be working for me. Enable the Superfetch service.

It’s maddening. This has been a problem ever since Windows 10 was released and it continues on my computer today. I’ve given up hope of a fix. Instead I’ve had to develop the habit of starting Excel before I try to open a spreadsheet. That’s not a terrible workaround but I still run into this bug nearly every day when I forget. The Office programs are solid and stable and polished, the product of more than twenty years of steady development.
