I have programmed macros in Excel and just tried linking the file to Inventor. I am only able to link .xls and .xlsx. The macro-enabled Excel file that I am trying to link can only be saved as a .xlsm. When I try linking it using the all files option (*.*), I am not able to choose the start cell which tells Inventor where to start pulling parameter values from the Excel sheet.
Am I able to link the .xlsm file another way?
Once the file is linked open the parameters menu and find the linked file. right click on that and you should see an option to change the starting cell.

I have coded a macro that takes data from current document (excel) to another document (Excel) from a specific file folder.
Now the company is moving to share point. Is there a way to do that?
Now my VBA code is in an excel that:
Opening different -file path- excel file.
Copying and pasting data from one excel to other excel.
Can I access share point for the specific file path?
I have tried
‘’’ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address= “link” ‘’’
But this will not allow me to continue in the macro since it does not open the excel in the app. Rather it opens the direct internet url hyperlink.
Yes you can access Sharepoint with a specific file path. If you sync the relevant Sharepoint folder, it will appear in your File Explorer and you can copy that file path to use in the VBA code.

I have an Excel 2013 document in .xlsx format having 3 separated tabs. When I open the excel file by double-clicking, I see the first tab opening by default, which is supposed.
I am linking the excel file on MS PowerPoint. However, here I want the second tab comes to the screen by default, but the first page comes.
In short, I want to see the first tab of the excel file when I open it by double-clicking, but want to see the second page when I open the excel file via the link in the PowerPoint. I couldn't find a way to manage it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm creating an excel file using EPPlus from a datatable and saving it to a file, all fairly standard. This works without any hassles. However, if I create a vba project, and add any vba code, the resulting .xlsx file is suddenly corrupted. When try and open it with 2013, you get the standard error.
"Excel cannot open the file 'xyz.xlsx' because the file format or file
extension is not valid. Verify that the file extension matches the
format of the file.
If I change the extension to .xls, the file opens ok, and the script runs fine. I'm on the latest beta of Epplus (4.5.0.1). Should I just change the file extension and stick to .xls, or is there something amiss?
ExcelPackage.Workbook.CreateVBAProject()
ExcelPackage.Workbook.CodeModule.Code = "'Script is here"
Dim FInfo as new FileInfo("C:\Myfiles\ThisFile.xlsx")
ExcelPackage.SaveAs(FInfo)
You can not add VBA code to XLSX file format.
Take a look at here
.xlsx:
The default XML-based file format for Excel 2007-2013. Cannot store
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro code or Microsoft
Office Excel 4.0 macro sheets (.xlm).
Also take a look at here
to see differences between different formats:
XLSM If you include VBA macros in your XLSX file, you will be asked to
change the file extension to XLSM. Only that way you can save your
macro within the Excel file (there are other file types possible, e.g.
XLSB – but you can’t use XLSX for VBA macros)
Save your file as XLSM and it should work.
We have a excel document that contains a ton of Hyperlinks to other Excel Documents & File Paths all located on our network. All of a sudden the Hyperlinks to the Excel Documents have broken, Excel will state the error below;
Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer. It is important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy source.
Would you like to open this file? OK/Cancel
We click OK and nothing will happen. Opening file paths is still working fine and I've created another Excel document which has links to a PDF, a File Path, a Word Doc & an Excel Doc. Still only the Excel that isn't working.
I have followed several articles online that suggest how to disable the warning message,below is a well detailed article for 2007/2010 but we had tried to adapt it for 2013/6. Nothing I have tried is working, does anyone on Stack have any suggestions?

We are using Office 2013/6 Standard/Professional.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks,

This happens when you copy the excel file to different location:
You can do test: place hyperlink into 1 cell save it, and then copy the file to another location: you can see that hyperlink of your copied excel file would not work.
However when you choose the same file to "Save As": the hyperlink of the saved file in different location will work.
For excel internal hyperlinks (hyperlinks to other worksheet cells) similar thing happens when you rename the file: hyperlinks won't work, but they will work if you choose to "Save As".
This means, the solution to this problem would be: copy the excel file to it's original location and name it with the original name (when hyperlinks were working). In this case hyperlinks will work. Then if you need to move or rename the file: open the file from original location and select "Save AS" anywhere you would like to save, in this case hyperlinks of your saved file would work.
Conclusion: relative references to the Excel file in hyperlinks are not automatically updated when externally file is moved or renamed.
So we managed to find out what was the cause of this problem.
Microsoft are currently working on fixing this as stated in the article below, but as a quick fix you simply need to remove Windows Update KB4011051.
