Linking a graph to a csv file
**Excel 2002 Hello, I'm sure this is exceedingly easy, but somehow, I'm screwing this up. I ultimately need to have a self- updating PowerPoint file (client mandates a ppt file). According to ppt's help, that means I have to use linked Excel graphs, not embedded ppt graphs. However, my programmer will be supplying me with tons of csv files. When I try to create an excel file with a data link to a csv file, it tells me that it can't update it unless I open the source file. I *can't* take the time to open each csv - there will be hundreds. What am I missing wi...

Opening a new instance of Excel
I am using multiple monitors for work and it is great! Is there a setting that I can use so that it opens each new excel file in a new excel window so I can drag different ones to each monitor? Is there a similar setting for Word? I am using Excel 2002 and Word 2002. Thank you. Hi, Yes, you can check the Windows in Taskbar checkbox in Tools; Options.

After creating/formatting several worksheets from MS Access, I'd like to delete the "Sheetn" worksheets that got put there when I did a .WorkBooks.Add.

Importing Data into an Excel Pivot Table via Access
I have set up a query in Microsoft Access which is linked to our AS400 server. I have created pararmeters within Access which asks for certain fields which works. I then go into Excel and create a pivot table with the external data source that I have created in access. When I go to enter a pararmeter within Microsof Query I get a reply saying that "Parameters can not be used with this Query", what I want to do is setup a parameter on the Excel spreadsheet which then goes and gets the data i require from this parameter. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with thi...

EXCEL TROUBLESHOOTING #2
I have an excel file (2000 format), that after I made a number of changes is causing me problems when I re-open the file. Windows task manager goes to 100% CPU activity, and i cant do anything within the excel file. However, if I set recalculation to manual before I open the file, all seems fine. Obvioulsy I have a problem. But how do i find that problem ? Thanks in advance. I have had some experience running large spreadsheets lately. Above a certain size, the recalculation time seems to climb very fast. While Excel is recalculating, you can't do anything anyway. Best in my v...

Copying conditional formating
Question: I want every cell in row 2 to have red background if its value is different than the corresponding cell in row 1. I can do this to cell A2 if in the conditional formatting field I say =A2<>A1 but when I copy the formatting (using the brush), the condition continues to be A2<>A1 and not B2<>B1 for cell B and so forth. How do I copy the conditional formatting adjusting the references like the copy cells command do?

Excel to check for regular expression?
Hi, How do you use Regular expression in excel? For eg: Check a column of data to see whether are all of them valid email addresses? Please advise THanks By valid, do you mean that the email is in proper syntax or that it is an actual email address. Text formulas can be used for proper syntax. Perhaps a Visual Basic proceedure. I doubt you can check that the email address actually exists, as many companies and ISPs will simply disregard and drop mail to invalid email addresses to eliminate spam "user" wrote: > Hi, > > How do you use Regular expression ...

Excel ignores boot-time regional settings when interpreting a date
I have a third party DDE app that exports dates as strings, correctly using the short date format in the regional and language settings, which, in my case is MM/DD/YYYY (reset at every boot). Unfortunately excel insists in interpreting that date as DD/MM/YYYY [Application.International(xlDateOrder)=1, it should be 0], disregarding my regional settings. The result is that all the dates are wrong or #VALUES! If this is not wierd enough, listen to this: it only happens after I reboot (when the date format is reset to MM/DD/YYYY). If subsequently I change the short date format in the regional se...
