For instance, here's the view I get from using File Explorer to view my folder, that confirms that I...

    Howdy folks. I'm trying to work out if a line of VBA code works in non-English versions, and across multiple versions of Excel.

    Suggestion: Add "Tip: Upload a Sample File to get a quicker response"

    Howdy folks. If I had a dollar for every time I'd suggested to posters to upload a sample data file, I'd have approximately 696 dollars. I see we already have a Tip saying "Use CODE tags to embed your VBA Macros", as well as a big note re posting Spam. Any chance we could add "Tip: Upload a...

    What ever you do, don’t sign up to Twoo

    Hi all. Jeff here. Sorry, not an Excel post, but a warning to steer clear of email invitations from people you know to join something called ‘Twoo’. If you get an email saying “Joe Bloggs left a message for you”, then burn it. I foolishly didn’t, and clicked the link…despite thinking aloud...

    Can anyone help me beta test this code to filter pivots?

    Howdy folks. I've punched up some code that lets users quickly filter a PivotTable field based on an external range. So say you've got a pivotfield called 'Cities' with 10,000 cities in it, and an external range with say 100 of those cities. This code will let you very easily filter those 10,000...

    What are the best ready-made multiple-use macros from the web

    Howdy folks. I'm writing up a blog post for Chandoo's site called "What would James Bond stash in his Personal Macro Workbook?" In this post, I'm making the point that you don't have to know how to code in order to highly leverage VBA. All you need to know is how to Google, Cut, and Paste. I...

    How do you post tabular data in this forum?

    ...when I paste a nice table in from Excel here, it looks like it worked, but then when I refresh it looks unformatted. Maybe someone kind-hearted could put a sticky up about this. Case in point: Numbers range Remove Duplicates Advanced Filter VBA SQL 1 to 100 0:02 0:00 0:02 0:08 1 to...

    The Serenity Prayer for Excel

    Let us pray: Lord grant me the VBA skills to automate the things I cannot easily change; the knowledge to leverage fully off the inbuilt features that I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

    Anyone else finding Excel 2013 painfully slow?

    God I hate Excel 2013. I'm finding that vba projects run much slower in 2013 than in 2010. And some of my code fails altogether in 2013, but runs fine in 2010. And don't get me started on the time Excel takes to start up, and that blasted "Streaming Office" nonsense that displays any time you...

    The end of the world is nigh.

    Quick, repent your excel sins here before it all ends for the old blog. I'll start... Excel Father, forgive me, for I have sinned. I have been guilty of worshiping integers in VBA, when no such thing truly exists. ********MOVED TO THE LOUNGE******************
