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...

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...

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 ...

Question Regarding Excel 2007 Formatting Corruption #2
Hi Folks, I am having a problem with Excel 2007 files losing all formatting (merged cells, colors, borders, and data formatting (99% turns into 0.99)) when I open a file on our office server make edits and then save the new file on the server. Each sheet usually has a mix of locked and unlocked cells and I unprotect the sheet to make edits. Also, something is fundamentally changed with the file as its size doubles or triples. If I reopen the corrupted file and redo any of the formatting and try to save it none of the new formatting is retained either. Has anyone else ever experienced a pr...
