I am using excel 2007. I cannot see Menu and Tools on my menubar. I wanted to activate Analysis ToolPak. I clicked on Excel icon (top left) and then options and then add-in and activate Analysis ToolPak. However I cannot see this anywhere in the menubar along with Menu and Tools. I searched a lot on internet but could not find any solution. So, I have three issues (all are same)
-how do I enable Menu and Tools option
-how do I access Analysis ToolPak and use it (although I activated it from option but I cannot find it anywhere on the ribbon)
Any idea?
When Enabled it will not appear as a separate tab it will appear on the end of the Data tab, in a section called Analysis. You should also have different options under the What-If Analysis in the Data tab.
I might be wrong but the Menu and Tools were removed and replaced by the ribbon, you can download an addon to put them back in however specific tools are now in different locations in the Ribbon.
This might help finding the locations you require: http://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleId=7603

When creating an Excel file in Office365 including macros that increase and decrease value in a cell depending if you click up or down arrow causes issues when the sheet isn't perfectly aligned with the rows. This has been verified by Microsoft in case 34137940 as a bug - who suggested to ask the question here and reach out to a developer support team member. The problem is that no matter if I click up or down when a row is "visually splitted" the amount increases in the cell.
So what can I do to make this work as intended? I don't want to wait until Microsoft pushes an update. There has to be a solution for me to be able to disable smooth-scrolling somehow?
There is a temporary solution here to solve this by running the below commands to revert to earlier update - but that is not an option in this case since newer features is used as well.
cd %programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\
OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.14701.20262
I also tried disabling smooth scrolling in Windows 10 (Link), following the below steps - with no success.
Navigate to System Properties by right clicking **Properties **from my computer.
Click on Advanced and click on Performance settings.
In Visual Effects tab of Performance Options window, click Custom. Then deselect the following items to Disable some unnecessary eye candy:
Uncheck Smooth-scroll list boxes.
In Excel (On Windows), there is a kind of a Super-Tab appearing on top of certain Tabs:
«Drawing Tools» Super-Tab:
When you click on a Graphic object then, this one appears:
«Table Tools» Super-Tab:
When you click inside of a Table object then this kind of a Super-Tab appears:
So my Questions are:
What is the technical name of that Super-Tab?
---> Special thanks to #TimWilliam. He was the one who gave its name: It is a Contextual Tab Set
And how to program something like that in VSTO Add-in please? (Anything related to it)
Your responses are much appreciated!
I'm answering to my Question so I do not lose all the important answers and research I got till now:
1. The name of that kind of Super-Tab:
The credit goes to #TimWilliams. The name of that Special tab is Contextual Tab or also called Tool Tab.
Here it is an official Information from Microsoft entitled: Ribbons
2. How to program the Contextual Tab?
I am still looking for How to program this one. At least Microsoft already explains about it here >>> 2.2.41 tabSet (Contextual Tab Set)
I found 2 new interesting discussions and information over here Adding custom contextual tabs to Ribbon UI and over here Ribbon: Contextual tab on application page. But they are all for ASP.NET.
Here as well is the List of Tool Tab available on Excel: Tool Tab Available on Excel
But once I found a working solution, I will share here as well for the advancement of our work.
Keep it up dear Programmers and stay blessed!

While using MS Excel (Outlook, Word, or Power Point as well apparently) I create a userform. The toolbox shows up showing controls tab and 16 icons representing various controls. When I right click in some empty space in the tool box control area, a menu comes up listing "additional controls" at the top and two greyed out options below it. When I select "additional controls" a spinning blue circle appears briefly then disappears and nothing happens.
It is my understanding that a dialogue box should open at this point and I should be able to select some additional controls.
I noticed the problem while trying to follow a video on how to data scrape for my personal project which I asked for help here.
What I have tried
Creating a user form on another computer and then importing it to this one. No success.
Repairing MS Excel. This resulted in a full reinstall I believe as I had to re enter my product key. No success.
Resetting various registry keys as mentioned in this article. No success.
KB 369383 as mention as part of the process above. No success.
Issue described here but no solution, just a work around to something to what the person was trying to add.
Setting MS Excel to run in compatibility mode. There was no compatibility mode listed as an option under properties for the desktop icon.
Running as administrator even though my Windows account has admin rights. No change.
Cleaning the registry with both ccleaner and wise registry cleaner.
Running Excel in safe mode using excel.exe /s. Confirmed with (safe mode) in the title bar. No success.
My System
Windows 10
MS Office Professional 2013 - 32
(Note, no crystal reports added that I am aware of)
Additional Info
I tried another Windows 10 machine running same version of MS Office and it worked there, so it should not solely be a Windows 10 issue. My machine was an upgrade from Windows 7 - 64. The other machine was an upgrade from windows 8.
I created a new Windows user account and the dialogue box comes up for that account. At least now we know that its SOMETHING to do with my user account/profile.
I found a solution to 'my' problem after spending 2-3 nights over this. It turned out to be a very simple and not-so-intuitive fix.
My problem was that when I right-click on the Toolbox, I do not even get to see the "Additional Control" option in the menu.
Click on the userform, so that its selected.
Now go to Tools and Additional Controls is no longer greyed out. :)
Make sure the the Toolbox window is selected first then click on the Tools menu and Additional Controls should then be visible
In my case it was the toolbox that needed to be selected and not the userform.
When toolbox is selected, bam! the "Additional Controls" is no longer greyed out.
I produced several custom macros in Windows, modified the XML so that a custom Ribbon Tab was visible in the 2013 version of Windows, and everything was wonderful.
I'm now trying to produce equivalent functionality for Excel 2011 for Mac. I did the following: View >> Toolbars >> Custom Toolbars and Menu. I then went to the "Commands" toolbar >> Macros, and dragged SmileyFace macros to the main toolbar. I then changed the images, modified the text, and it worked locally.
For redundancy, I also added a new menu to "Toolbars and Menu" and added all my macros to that toolbar as well, which appeared as some sort of goofy, nebulous floating box. I attached the macros to the document using the "attach" button.
However, when I send the document to colleagues, the only thing that appears is that nebulous floating custom toolbar, with none of the macros mapped to buttons, and the buttons don't have my custom image.
How do I do this?
The most recent version of Excel 2011 (14.3.5) seems to save custom toolbars in a single file in specific user folder:
Users/[User]/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Preferences/Office 2011/Microsoft Excel Toolbars.xlsx
(original source here)
When I saved an Excel 2011 workbook with a custom toolbar on one Mac, and transferred it to another, the toolbar did not appear. When I coied the Microsoft Excel Toolbars.xlsx file over (and dropped it in the proper location), the toolbar did appear.
Note: This location may be specific to more recent versions of Office 2011; older versions seem to store them in Users/[User]/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011.
Short-term, you may need to distribute the toolbar file along with the spreadsheet, as well as some means (via script and/or manual instruction) of copying it into the expected location.
<pure speculation>
Longer-term, maybe there's a way to override this default behavior and point to a 'local' copy of the toolbars stored in the distributed file itself. Or, maybe you can use the toolbar file as a template for the distributed spreadsheet.
</pure speculation>
I am currently using the Visual Ribbon Editor for CRM 2011 and i am trying to add a button to the Outlook client ribbon (not the web client) that loads the Accounts section of CRM (not in a modal, but the how it would normally load accounts in the main pane) The tabbed section in Outlook is shown in the image below.
I do not have to use the editor, and could use a solution, but i am unsure what sort of command i would need to get it to update the main pane and with either the visual tool or the by hand solution.
Update the HomePageGrid ribbon XML.
Gareth Tucker has written a great tutorial to add a button to the Form ribbon (just modify where it says Mscrm.Form to Mscrm.HomePageGrid):

Not sure if it's on topic so feel free to trash it. I won't be sad.
There's a fantastic tool called Ribbon Workbech. They even got a video showing how to do stuff, which is perfect for a complicated software in combination with lazy... hrmp... busy people.
There's even more info over here. Have a look.
