Excel 2010 Portable 132

I just spent two hours on an excel file only to have excel crash before i saved it and lost my work. I am using MS Excel 97-2004 on a MacBook Pro and right now have to manually save all work. How can I set up MS Excel/Word/PPT to auto save every 10 minutes to my Business's Dropbox account? I want to be able to work without having to manually save my file every few minutes.
There isn't a way for Dropbox to do this but as I understand it there is an auto-save feature in Microsoft Excel. I believe most versions have this. Take a look at this article -us/article/use-autosave-and-autorecover-to-help-protect-your-files-in-...
If you're referring to auto-saving directly to your Dropbox account then it's very likely that Microsoft prevents that as a way to force OneDrive use. There are even topics on Microsoft's forums that discuss this, and the usual answer is to use OneDrive.
However, the auto-save feature just needs a folder on your computer, and you can easily specify your local Dropbox folder. Any files that are auto-saved to the Dropbox folder are then synced like any other file would be. I have my local Dropbox specified as the auto-save location in Excel and it's never been an issue.
The floating Dropbox logo is the Dropbox Badge. It doesn't allow simultaneous editing, but does alert you when others are in the document and it allows you to load the latest changes if any, among other things. Simultaneous editing is possible and has been for a long time through the Dropbox website (the same way Google Docs does it).
Hi,
i wrote a script which exports to a CSV with the Monday API Formulas get parsed with formula.js:
You need an developer account or an API Key => just ask your admin. If you have any questions just ask: k...@1ln.de
script:
you probably found a suitable workflow in the meantime, but I still want to recommend another possible solution. Our Exported Excel Cleaner does the job with ease, and includes just a little manual effort.
Since you explicitly mentioned restrictions and maybe security concerns in using third party apps, I want to add that our app is running client-sided only. That means, no data is being looped through any server, everything is handled in your browser.
Thanks for your reply but just what i mentioned, sould be integraded in Monday. But in meanwhile we are testing the export through an API connection and that works great. 1 refresh and we have the realtime data from monday in excel.
I am trying to see if there is a way to easily print each sheet in my excel workpaper to PDF (would be helpful if I could select which sheets too). To give more background, it's a workpaper that has several sheets for invoicing purposes, and I'd like to easily drop the file in and run a workflow that will print each invoice to PDF. However, I'm not too advanced in the reporting tools. Also, I'm not sure if it's possible to use one input tool for something like this, or if I would have to manually add in a input tool for each sheet/invoice. It'd also be extremely helpful if I could also use some sort of dynamic naming for each output based on an invoice # listed in each sheet if possible.
I'm importning about 100 new contacts into my CRM. To do this, I created Excel spreadsheet with header names matching those set up in my CRM. When I attempted to import the spreadsheet, I keep getting an error messsage "Check your import file and make sure each column with data has a header". I've tried formatting the spreadsheet as a table with header, bolded the font, increased font size, to no avail.
I was having this exact problem and turns out for me, it had nothing to do with the Headers (that were already there). The problem was the file name - I had a plus-sign "+" in the file name and I think that is what Hubspot rejected. I renamed the file and it worked just fine. Hope this helps someone!
Hi, just adding an update on this. Experience the same issue this week when importing a new list, I read above about copying the columns into a new spreadsheet and this actually worked for me. Just wanted to say that @TiphaineCuisset thanks for the heads up
To resolve the issue, select and copy all the columns with headers and values from your Excel sheet. Then, paste them into a new Excel file. Importing the data from the new file should now be error-free
The only two things that didn't populate are "Type of Contact" and "Vendor Type", both of which have checkboxes, and Type of Contact usually has multiple checkboxes. Unelss there is a magical way to update that info, I'm okay with it for now
If it is not populating, it is probably because the value you have put in the excel does not match exactly a possible value in your checkboxes/dropdown field property. If the system cannot find exact matching values, it won't import.
I am looking to better understand why Date formatting never seems to work. I am looking to format to day/month/year in a numerical format. (00/00/0000) No matter what I do excel formats back to the US format list, which doesn't have this format.
I am not providing a specific example because I am hoping someone will actually put a complete and final solution so I never have scroll a forum on this subject again. I am sure some people here can relate.
I have cleared formats, changed formats, etc. I have changed the country formatting to Canadian so it is on the list. I have gone through the defaults. I have ensured its not formatted as text, etc.
Of everything found on here, and the only thing that comes close to working is custom formatting, which defeats the point.
Any thoughts? It's always a pain with Microsoft programs (as a whole, no matter which computer I use, no matter business or personal) as they relentlessly default to American options, no matter what defaults I put in. Can this be defined directly in the OS to prevent recurring issues? Can US language formatting be disabled?
Hi, I tried following the steps below but unfortunately it still won't work on my end... Can you please elaborate for me as I seem to be not getting it (?) or did I miss anything???... Is the Region setting in the Control panel the only thing I have to change? or do I still have to look elsewhere? Thank you so much for the help in advance!
One of the places I learn the most is a group chat I have with my friends Dror Poleg and Ben Rollert. Dror, who writes about the history and future of work, cities, and finance, and Ben, who is the founder and CEO of Composer, are two of the smartest people I know.
Second, Gates and Raikes decided that they needed to take advantage of the graphical interface, so they switched mid-project from building for the PC, which was operated via command line interface, to building exclusively for Mac.
Excel is declarative in that you define what you want by typing a formula, without having to worry about how to perform the step-by-step computations. I can calculate the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) on an investment without needing to know the formula, let alone how to program it. I just type =IRR(C4:G4) and voila!
By operating at a very high level of abstraction, an Excel user is spared the headache of dealing with a lot of minutiae and incidental detail that is intimidating and frankly uninteresting to most people. Instead, Microsoft assigns an army of well-compensated developers to worry about the details, and the user just has to pick the right function to use.
Excel leverages a mental model that has been deeply ingrained in our culture for decades: a two dimensional grid using A1 notation. By assigning rows with numbers and columns with letters, a user can identify a single cell in a large 2D grid without confusion or ambiguity. By sticking to the same conceptual model that has been in use since at least 1979, people can understand how Excel arranges data without learning anything new.
One of the most magical aspects of Excel is that it is reactive. When you change an input to a formula in Excel, any output that depends on that input is automatically updated. Because Excel has been with us for so long, we take this property for granted. But most conventional programming languages are not like this: when an input is changed, each step that depends on that input needs to be deliberately re-run for the output to reflect the change.
By being reactive, Excel allows for a kind of playful interactivity. You can play with inputs and toggles to a workbook, simulating different hypothetical scenarios. For the insatiability curious, it can be downright addictive. But more than anything, reactivity makes it easy to get very fast feedback, and the faster a system provides feedback, the easier it is to understand how that system works. Excel is designed to optimize the speed at which its users develop skill at operating it.
Another piece of Excel magic is the ability to inspect and manually update the entries of a database contained in a sheet. This is just not the norm with most databases, which typically require developer skills and permissions of a database administrator to update.
That creates an emergent product roadmap for the B2B software industry. Instead of needing to sit in a room and think up the future, a couple generations of observant entrepreneurs simply watched what people were cooking up in spreadsheets, sized the market, and built dedicated, less flexible tools for each specific use case.
