I am using Microsoft excel 365 when suddenly the data inputed in some cells doesn't show up but shows up when I check the formula bar.I tried comparing it with other cells but couldn't find the cause. Please help me in this regard.
I have a table in excel 2016 worksheet in which there is one numeric column. I have added hyperlinks on these column values.
If we click on any number, Filter gets applied/updated on data present in other sheet.
To achieve this, Is it requires macro or we can achieve this Excel functionality only
Thanks in advance.

I have built a SSRS report where I have left the first column of a table empty. I want every cell in this column to be conditionally formatted so that it changes to red fill whenever I type in "r" in one of these cells AFTER exporting it to excel. Can I do this directly in the report builder?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you guys !
No. You need to do it in Excel.
I hope this is a quick and easy question for Excel pros out there.
I'm using the default "Retirement Planner" spreadsheet in MS Excel 2013. I want to make some modifications to the existing formulas, but every time I click on a cell, the formula looks something like:
=IFERROR(Calculations!G39,"")
How do I view the actual formula used to calculate the value of that cell? It seems like this syntax:
Calculations!G39
Abstracts away the underlying formula.
Thanks for the help!
There is a hidden Calculations sheet which you can unhide by right-clicking the Retirement Planner sheet tab and selecting Unhide from the pop-up options.
In cell G39 on the Calculations sheet is a formula =Interest which is reference to a Named Range.
If you go into the Name Manager on the Ribbon Formulas tab you will find that Interest contains a formula:
=IF(PlanYear<=PlanYears,(Calculations!F39*BeforeRetirement*InvestmentReturnPreRetirementPercentage)+(Calculations!F39*AfterRetirement*InvestmentReturnPostRetirementPercentage),NA())
I prepared a spreadsheet where I used the drop down list command in several cells (data validation, list). I needed to provide two versions of the same spreadsheet: one saved as Excel 2007 file, and the other one as Excel 2010 file.
If I open the Excel 2007 file with Excel 2010, in the cells where I inserted the drop down list, the reference to the cells that contain the list is somehow changed and the drop down list shows the wrong data.
For example, if I specify to use as the data in the list the values of cells C20:C25, when I open the file with Excel 2010 the cells are changed to D15:D20. I did not find a trend in the "shifting" of the referenced cells.
How do I prevent this without using Excel 2007 for the 2007 file only and Excel 2010 for the 2010 file only?
I have found a workaround that works for me.
If this is your original dropdown box formula:
=Sheet2!A1:A5
Then change it to:
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!A1:A5")
For me, this stops it removing the dropdown when opening in Excel 2007 after saving in Excel 2010. I found this out accidentally because I needed INDIRECT to define my dropdown range, as it varied.

I found the answer here: http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=150080
"If your dropdown is a data validation list and you have used a list on another sheet as the
source, then you need to do what Tayt said, since versions pre-2010 cannot refer directly to
a range on another sheet and the validation will simply disappear."
That solved my problem; hopefully it'll solve yours.
You are opening a 2007 file with 2010, saving it and closing it. Perhaps 2010 is automatically converting your file to the 2010 format.
Have you tried intentionally telling 2010 to save your file in the 2007 format?
I solved this by having both Excel 2007 and 2010 installed.In Excel 2010 I selected the cell that should have contained the dropdown-list and then pressed data validation from the data tab. I just copied the values in excell 2007 and saved.
If you find the sheet to be protected, you can use this solution : http://mcgimpsey.com/excel/removepwords.html
