  • Unable to open external drive XLSX files

    Hello

    I have a macbook El Capitan having installed Office 365, with the latest version of excel running. Recently, I have been unable to open excel (.xlsx) files from my external hard drive because it gives me a message stating that it is corrupt and offering a repair option - which also fails. I can however;

    -Open the same file on a windows PC 10

    -Open the file in numbers

    -Open any other file on the hard drive (document images, PDFs, Word etc.) in native mode without any problem

    -C' is essential, I can copy the file to the desktop and it opens in Excel without any problem.

    I am at a loss of what it might be.

    Thank you

    (my apologies if this is in the wrong section)

    It seems that there is a problem with the Mac from Microsoft Excel version, opening files from an external drive. Looks like a Microsoft problem that should be reported to them.

  • Excel 2007 to carry forward when called LabVIEW v9 in Windows 7

    I'm building a dual system using LabView and Excel 2007 v9, Windows 7.  The original system used Windows XP, Excel 2007, and LabView v8.6.  The problem is that the original system has been able to bring forward to Excel when it is called LabVIEW by using the node property - application-> visible.  This new configuration is running Excel, loads the data, run macros, but does not Excel forward.  The icon flashes in the bar of tasks Win7 and when selected displays at the top of LabView.  If I reduce the window of Labview, Excel is here.  This brings me to the conclusion that Excel is visible, as requested but will not come forward until this that selected in the taskbar.  The only differences, not to mention the versions, is used the extension .xls in model of original system files was performed in Excel in compatibility mode.  At the request of customers, the new system uses on model files Excel .xlsm extension.  I tried to use application.visible = True in the macro as well.  Could be a setting in Labview?  Could be a setting in Excel? Could be .xls vs. .xlsm? Or a problem with Windows 7 and the latest version of Labview.

    Thanks in advance

    I'll try the windowstate change.  Were these done successively? (i.e., property node-> property-> property node node) Or have they done along the way like the open call ActiveX and a property node then in a spreadsheet etc editing area, so there was some time between calls?

    I just use something like this in any place where I normally just would make excel visible. Works for me on Win7 x 64 even though I don't really know why.

    On Windows XP, I never had no problem with just using the visible property, with a change unique windowstate or even without one.

  • HP dv7 Touch Bar Launches MS Office Excel 2007

    HP dv7-1245dx laptop

    Whenever I touch the touchscreen (bar) volume control MS Office Excel 2007 starts. If I type the volume control vs sliding your finger on it, you will get several Windows Excel to open.  I have come back to restore the system to see if the software I have installed recently may have caused this problem and went further than the restoration of the system would allow.  Other than a wipe and re complete system of the operating system installation... Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause?

  • Problem opening excel data document written to.

    Hello

    I am trying to write data to a spreadsheet file, and I believe that I am going through the correct steps but have a problem when I try to open the file.  My file name has the extension .xlsx (Excel 2007) and I opened the folder I specified in order to create the file but when I try to open it it comes up with an error saying that the file may be in the wrong format or have the incorrect extension.  I know that I can write to a text file and open the text file with Excel but I tried to do it this way and I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a problem with Excel.  A tidbit of useful that I should probably included, it's that I'm using LabVIEW 8.6.

    Thank you

    Try to open a file with the extension .xls.  See if you get the same error.  In my opinion, change, microsoft did with Office 2007 to get to these. - x extensions is ridulcous and will cause more problems than its worth.  I have here an advantage to this 'new' file format.  Work with the normal .xls files and I bet your problem will disappear.

  • Cannot open Excel 97

    I was unable to open Word and Excel.  Called Tech services at Bell and they set 200 compromised files.  After 4 hours, I was able to open Word and everything seems to be fine except for Excel.  They asked me to call Microsoft and gave me your number.

    When I click on the Excel 97 icon, a dialog box appears indicating the suspected areas, Excel opens, then a second dialog box is displayed indicating not enough problem to have malware.  Then Excel closes and I can't use it. Now place comes a screen linking 1 when I click on Excel.

    This is a user to user forum, so MS is not too likely to see your message. Looks like you had a form of malware attack and continue to suffer from the after effects.  I won't start in Mode safe and search for viruses, then uninstall Excel and reinstall.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.

    By the way that Office 97 is a very old version (it came out about 15 years ago), so I expect that it will be difficult to find support for it.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • I'm unable to open xls, e-mailed files. OS is xp prof.

    System XP prof. BT.com is the provider of assistance!

    Dabblingduck,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    In order to open the .xls files, you will need to purchase Microsoft Excel or at least download the Viewer. You can download the last one here.

    I hope this helps!
