He believes all Excel files are set to automatic calculation, because that is all he has ever experienced. John’s work colleague sends him a workbook saved in manual calculation mode via e-mail.

As shown in the image below, in the case of the Open_Workbook_Dialog macro there's only one item in the Files of type drop-down list box (Excel Files): Characteristic #2: Syntax Of The FileFilter Argument. The appropriate syntax of the FileFilter Argument is determined by the following rules: • Rule #1: Each individual filter is specified by pairing 2 strings as follows: Part #1: A descriptive string which, in, “can be pretty much anything you want”. You can omit this part, although I wouldn't recommend it.

After removing all the tabs but the two, I still had Sheet1 thru Sheet42, with an icon that looked like the XL symbol. These weren’t hidden tabs (hidden tabs do get TOC’ed though – good to know) or anything visible. I also couldn’t find a way to get rid of them. Looking for a free layout program for mac free. So final solution was to create a new workbook, copy the 43 tabs from the working sheet, copy your TOC macro, and watch the magic happen. Interesting to note that the good tabs in the unworkable sheet were listed as Sheet43 thru Sheet89. After copying the good tabs to the new workbook, the tabs kept the same Sheet43-89 names.

Modify a formatting style The [Home] ribbon contains buttons linking to Accounting, Percent and Comma number styles. These are a convenient way to change the appearance of numbers but you may wish to amend the default settings. For example, the Comma style can be altered to remove the decimal places and to prevent the left alignment of the minus symbol i.e. From - 1,234.56 to -1,234 . Select [Home] Styles Cell Styles and then right click on Comma and Modify.

By When working with macros in Excel 2010, you save and open workbooks in a new macro-enabled workbook format (.xlsm) that provides added security. When you create a macro, you must use a macro-enabled format to save your workbook or the macro won’t be saved. If you open a macro-enabled workbook, a Security Warning message states that the workbook contains macros. This protects you from possible harm — some macros might contain viruses or other hazards. You can choose to enable the content if the workbook is from a trusted source.

Since taking a look at 15 arguments at once can get a little overwhelming, let's start by taking a look at the most basic case: opening an Excel workbook whose name you know. You specify which workbook you want to open by using the Filename argument. More specifically, the basic VBA statement syntax to open a particular workbook is: Workbooks.Open Filename:=”File_Name” Or Workbooks.Open “File_Name” Where “File_Name” is the file name of the workbook that you want to open with VBA.

For me the links remain pointed to my networked copy and not my local machine. The only time I break the links is by physicly moving the workbook. Matt Is there any further advances on this?? This is a real problem that is enough to make us re-consider renewing our OVS, software licensing and chosen software provider. There are many reports of this from around the web, all from people with existing 2003 documents who have moved up to 2010. Document wise absolutely nothing has been moved, emailed, copied, converted, edited or in anyway changed. We have simply upgraded an exisiting workstation from Office 2003 to Office 2010 (and then applied the updates).

• Text you want to repeat, such as page headers and row and column labels. • Data, graphics, formulas, charts, and other information. • Data validation settings.

The purpose of the Workbooks.Open method is to open an Excel workbook. In this case, the workbook that is opened is that whose file name has been assigned to the variable my_FileName. In other words, if the user selects a file when the Open dialog box is displayed, the If Then Else statement opens that file. The Workbooks.Open Method: A Closer Look As explained at the beginning of this Excel tutorial, Workbooks.Open is the method that you'll generally use to open Excel workbooks using VBA.

Understanding the scope of the calculation mode The calculation mode setting is an application level setting. It applies to all the workbooks open in Excel. If Excel is in automatic calculation mode, then all workbooks are in automatic calculation mode. Equally, if Excel is in manual calculation mode, then all workbooks are in manual calculation mode. What actions change calculation mode So far, it all seems straightforward. However, what causes the most confusion is understanding what actions cause the calculation mode to change: • Settings changed by the user • VBA code • First workbook open in a session Settings changed by user To my knowledge, (excluding VBA code) there are two ways for the user to change the calculation mode, via the Formula ribbon, or via the Options. Formula Ribbon Formulas -> Calculation -> Calculation Options Options File -> Options -> Formulas -> Calculation options.

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. Determines whether the read-only recommended message is displayed. 8 Origin Applies when opening a text file.

If that works, great! Unfortunately, Excel's automated File Recovery feature sometimes fails to repair a damaged workbook. When this happens, you'll need alternatives.

In the image above, you may also notice that the sample Excel workbook named “Example – VBA open workbook.xlsx” doesn't appear as it does in previous screenshots. This is because it has been filtered out by the xm Files filter. The xm Files filter is used to display only files whose extension begins with the letters “xm”.

[B.xls]!#REF'!A1 and naturally all values that were previously correct now returns #REF. This is absolutely frustrating as there is no way for me to undo it without re-opening my last saved version of A.xls. Find and replace is not ideal either because A.xls refers to several different worksheets of B.xls - and they're all now #REF. Any ideas why?:( Running Excel 2010.

From that point on I can check-out --> open --> edit --> save --> check-in --> and close just fine. I don't know why creating the link and using it helped with the fix, but it seems to be integral.

Change it to something useful (possibly creating a Custom format) and then the new format settings will be retained in Book.xlt. For information about number formatting. • Each style can have 4 formats separated by a semi-colon. These determine how particular types of values or contents are displayed: Positive; Negative; Zero; Text. • The underscore _ means that an empty space equivalent to the width of the following character is to be left blank. This allows you to force numbers to be right aligned, taking into account the width of the closing bracket used for negative numbers. The asterisk * means any characters after it will be justified to the right and the padding will be made up by the following character (normally a space).

• Advantage #2: The Application.GetOpenFilename ensures that the FileName parameter of the Workbooks.Open method is correct. In other words, GetOpenFilename pretty much guarantees that the path/name/extension argument used by the Open method is valid. The Application.GetOpenFilename method has 5 arguments. 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.

This is a downside in itself though. • Make sure any changes to B.xls does not involve sheet deletion, renaming or row/column deletion in those that supply the formulas in A.xls. To help with Jerry's comment. When you close A.xls it will remember the values in it from the formula.

Summary Of Statement #2 The final effect of the whole statement explained above is as follows: • #1: The Open dialog box is displayed to allow the user to select a file. • #2: If the user selects a file, its file name is assigned to the variable called my_FileName. This leads us to the last statement of the Open_Workbook_Dialog macro, which uses the value of the my_FileName variable.

If I simply save the sheet it reverts on next use, so I guess I’d need to add this to the code (but I have no idea how to do that!). September 28, 2018 Hi Deirdre, I’m copying my reply from the YouTube comments here so others see it. This is due to the Cell Styles traveling with the worksheet. In this case the best bet is to just copy the VBA code to a new sheet within your existing workbook. I updated the code so that you will not need to modify it. You can just copy the two macros: Worksheet_Activate and TOC_List into the Sheet module of the new worksheet in your workbook.

Someone sent a link to this post to me. So does anyone know if it’s still possible to have different “sessions” open, with each having their own calculation options? Hi Pat, I can certainly understand your issue.

If the links are not intentional, then finding and removing the links in the spreadsheet will stop that message from appearing. If the links are intentional, then you probably do want them to update - and this message should be able to be bypassed by the way in which you open the workbook. If the message is about updating external data sources (there was mention of Oracle in the macro, so I guess you have an external data source), then changing the properties of the data block might stop the message.

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. As explained by Michael Alexander in 101 Ready-To-Use Excel Macros, the purpose of declaring a variable in this macro is to store the file name chosen by the user. This variable declaration statement can be divided in the following 3 items: Item #1: Dim Statement As I explain in, the Dim statement is the most common way to declare a VBA variable. Item #2: Variable Name In this particular case, the name of the variable being declared is “my_FileName”. Item #3: Data Type my_FileName is declared as being of. The reason why this variable is declared as a Variant is because, as explained in Excel VBA Programming for Dummies, the Application.GetOpenFilename method can return different types of data. Statement #2: my_FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:=”Excel Files,*.xl*;*.xm*”) This VBA statement is characterized by the following 2 aspects: • Makes an assignment to the VBA variable my_FileName; and • Uses the GetOpenFilename method that I introduce above.
