Excel Power Query not Working on Colleagues Computer - excel

My excel power query I built is not working on computers other than mine.
When other people try to refresh the query on the sheet (which is stored on SharePoint) the following error shows up:
Anyone know why this is happening?

I hope your version of excel is the same as your colleague.
Anyway, from the error message I can read notesSort... is it a sorted column on the fly or the effective name of the field?
Try to remove the column from the Advance Editor and analyse what is going on. Test on your colleague computer to check if it's working.
Hope that helps!

Excel Date value is 16 days off for some users

I have an asp.net core application that uses Npoi to generate an Excel spreadsheet from a list of objects. This works fine when I run the application on my machine. However, when some of our users run this function, the dates on the spreadsheet are displaying 16 days earlier than their actual values. For example, the date 11/3/2020 is displaying 10/18/2020 for some users.
What's weird is if they email me the spreadsheet and I open it on my machine, the dates display correctly. Has anyone else run into this issue, or have a guess as to what might be causing this to happen? Also, any suggestions on how to fix it?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Joe

Is there any way to record in excel if something is being printed before?

I am required to download and print loads of documents, which are then required by other departments. E.g. Invoice in pdf format.
Thereafter, I use excel to note my 'printing records' such as below:
Sometimes, I recorded them erroneously which have heavy implications! E.g. I recorded '1' even though I have not printed the document.
I wish to know if there is any way to automate this process?
P.S I only have basic VBA knowledge so I apologize in advance for asking such a mediocre question!
I couldn't seem to find a solution on the net too.

Microsoft Excel Power Query Expression Error (overflow error)

I couldn't find this issue elsewhere on stackoverflow, so here goes: I am loading a table (named DataEntry3, approx 10K rows and 30 columns) from the same workbook into Power Query, but it is throwing the following error message:
[Expression.Error] An error occurred while accessing table DataEntry3 because it contains overflow errors. Please fix the errors and try again.
I'm confused since this is a fairly routine operation. Any ideas as to what might be going on?
Do you have any large numbers in your dataset? This can occur if a large number is mistakenly formatted as a date in Excel. I would check if giving a stronger type (Text or Number) to the columns resolves this issue.
Coming late but might help someone else.
Had this same problem and discovered that the Source location for the file was wrong (internal network changes and drive names changed)
Fixing this fixed the problem.
In my case it was a formatting issue. I used format painter for the new lines that were added to my source table and that fixed the problem.

Excel VBA Code to pull SSRS data as a dataset

I can’t seem to find a solution for my problem no matter how much I Google.
(Please excuse my verbosity in the following explanation)
My process is that I have to go to the SSRS web page, run my report (with parameters), and finally export as an excel file. Once all that is done I can execute my couple thousand lines of VBA code to import the raw data I just downloaded and apply my business logic. Now I’m able to make My pretty charts and graphs. For lots of reasons I won’t enumerate here, I need to further automate this.
What I would like to do is change my code so it will just pull the data directly into my Excel spreadsheet without having to have first saved it as a file.
The Googling I have done so far suggests I would be pulling it into a dataset, then work with that dataset object to consume my data.
Does anyone have VBA code that demonstrates how to connect to the SSRS server, call my specific report (with parameters) and, and return the results as ( I’m guessing as a dataset),and read that into my spreadsheet?
Excel is providing facility to connect to the database and run query. You can execute the SP's query from excel
Once you got the data, you can apply your chart logic in excel.

Adding a new sheet to a Google Spreadsheet via the Google Docs or Spreadsheet API

I'm working on a project where I'm pulling a bunch of information out of a Drupal MySQL database and putting it in a Google Spreadsheet. My problem is that its a lot of data, and I'd prefer to put it all in one spreadsheet, sorting everything by sheet.
I'm not seeing anyway to add a sheet to a spreadsheet nor navigate between existing sheets. Anyone have any idea how to do this? I'd like to this in PHP, and if that doesn't work, Python.
Thanks for your help,
