Can someone assist me on how can I get data from a table in Excel 2013?
I have a table named Personal:
and I want to have a control in a cell like this:
(I do not know how to add this control in a cell)
So I can select data from the table:
I googled a lot before asking here, and couldn't find how to do it.
Maybe your google foo could do with some polish. For the dropdown try DATA > Data Tools, Data Validation,
Allow: List
Source: whatever the range is for the data in your table.

When I open excel, the rows move down and a big blank space gets inserted. I have no idea why this is happening nor how to fix it. Any suggestions? See image below:
It's a known monitor issue, you have to check for compatibility
If you drag it about between monitors it can fix it other than that compatibility settings.

I add headers and footers to my Excel file. Rename the file to zip format and pull out the first sheet(xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml), then I see this line <oddHeader>&C&"Britannic Bold,bold italics"&U&KFF0000"mytext"</oddHeader>
Where can I find documentation on how this string is formed, what parameters are allowed, etc?
Microsoft has documentation for the XML spreadsheet format
For your specific question, the OddHeader class is documented here.

I am beginner in Excel. I have a workbook in which the formula column is defined as
=+TEXT($A36,"mmm"), but even if I give =Text($A36,"mmm")
it is returning the Month.
What is the difference in using =+ and + in Excel?
Will it changes the functionality in any ways?
This is simply a legacy way of doing it. From Lotus 123 I believe. It makes absolutely no difference to the functionality.
There is no difference. It's the exact same thing.
It comes from an old syntax used in Lotus

Through a Progress 4GL program, I am trying to select a specific worksheet in the workbook. The worksheet name I am trying to select is called "Budget". Any ideas on how I can select this by name. Provide sample code snippet.
I haven't tried it but this should work:
CREATE "Excel.Application" chExcelApplication.
chWorkSheet = chExcelApplication:Sheets("SheetName")

I have a spreadsheet that looks like that:
I want to get the distinct sections, in fact the distinct first string from the section colume. I tried advanced filters however, this only gives me the whole string. Is there a excel formula to check the columes just for the first string?(Like here: bla, blub, bla1, bla2, blue)
I appreciate your answer!
In Excel, add a new column with:
=LEFT(B2,FIND(" ",B2))
that will give you the list of first words; after that you can use filters.
