Best method to allow two users to make edits to the same Excel File
I am trying to determine what is the best method to allow two users to simultaneously make edits to the same Excel file. It is VERY rare that we will ever be typing in the same Cell as the other person, but we both need to work out of the same workbook at the same time. We are working in two separate locations, by the way. Is using Dropbox along with "Tools > Share Workbook" the way to go? Or should I use Google Docs? Or possibly Sharepoint? Or Excel 2010 Web Aps? The main question I am trying to answer is "what actually works" and is generally hassle free. Thanks for any suggestions....

If you are having a server, then save the file in server location and share the workbook. Users of that workbook should give Cntrl+S before and after doing any changes in the workbook then only the changes done by you will reflect to other persons and the changes done by others will reflect to you. ----------------------- Ms-Exl-Learner -----------------------

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...
