After I published this small information tool (Excel (365 & 2016) with network information), several people contacted me and asked if I had a tool with Excel for general service tasks that, while available in Windows, are a bit scattered and confusing. So, I've prepared this small tool for Service Level 1, with most of the service options included. Hardware Repair Tools Repair Action Label Description Reset Windows Update Components UpdateReset Stops related services, renames cache folders, restarts services. Check System File Integrity (sfc /scannow) SFC Scans and repairs corrupted system files. Check Disk for Errors (chkdsk /f /r) CHKDSK Scans hard drive sectors and attempts repair.

I would appreciate any constructive feedback or additional suggestions. Happy Excel-ing! *My tool are voluntary and without guarantee! NikolinoDE I know I don't know anything (Socrates)Working with workbooks shared via Teams/Sharepoint
Hello Excellers, I need some insight on an issue that I am not sure what the source is... A) We sometimes share workbooks via Teams. You know when you are in a particular chat and next to the name of the chat at the top of the screen you see Shared and then you see Files button a bit below the Shared menu and when you click on that Files button you will see a list of what workbooks are shared. B) So I wrote some VBA code to download a copy to the Downloads folder like that: Dim RetVal As Long Dim SharePointFileURL As String Dim LocalDownloadPath As String Dim FileName As String RetVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, SharePointFileURL, LocalDownloadPath & FileName, 0, 0) If RetVal = 0 Then MsgBox "File successfully downloaded to: " & LocalDownloadPath & FileName, vbInformation This will message be replaced by the code we need to run... but for now I needed an indicator that it finished downloading. Else MsgBox "Failed to download the file. Please check the URL or your network connection.", vbExclamation End If So RetVal is = 0, and I do see the workbook in the \Downloads folder and it has a size of 4KB and the correct Date Modified time stamp, BUT When I try to open the workbook via the Excel desktop application I get the message: Excel cannot open the file "File name here" because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file is not corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file. The workbook should be 34KB in size and that 4KB file is not what I need??? Any ideas how to manage this, saving a workbook from a SharePoint / Teams file location to the computer so that we can run VBA code on it. GiGi
Macro to copy
Hello all you "Brilliant Minds" here is a chance to prove your "Excel-ence. I want to copy a value to one cell from the source which is random and as I haven't a clue about this stuff I asked Microsoft CoPilot. Being on the 4th version Where Microsoft excel still will not accept Microsoft CoPilot's creation, I am appealing to the Community. So here is your chance to prove that you are smarter than CoPilot. Here we go, everything but attach a file. If anyone is interested send me an email so I can send a couple of small files. DonaldAs any one found cool icons to use on a Custom Ribbon?
Hello Excellers, I just finished making a neat custom ribbon for an application, and I am wondering if anyone has found a cool and neat place to grab some icons for the button faces specially if in color. My ribbon looks nice, and most importantly it works as intended, but I am kind of thinking it could be more colorful. So far I only used the built-in stuff. Thanks for any hints. GiGiI need to learn how to use the LET function in Excel...
Hello Excellers, I am using a complex If statement to figure out if a machine is ready to receive work. I need to check if the machine is online, or broken down, or off line for some reason or another, Has a Human worker to work on the machine, and on and on... I am thinking would a LET function help in making the IF function more accurate, and less complicated? I have not worked with the LET function, and I think I would like to learn about it. Any nice resources for examples and tutorials? Thanks in Advance! GiGi!
Converting PDF to Excel 2024 on Mac (Not O365)
Hello Guys, Looking for advice on converting a PDF to Excel on my Mac. I'm using Excel 2024 and not Office 365. Most of the solutions I've come across online seem to cater to Office 365 users. I need to convert PDF content into Excel format so that I can work with the content. Does anyone have suggestions with a step by step approach how to do so. If there is any macro available or any step which doesn't involve the use of third party tool I'm fine. Appreciate your help!
