I know that Excel 2010 Slicers will visually indicate when there is no data associated with a particular slicer selection. For example, they are faded in color for 2010 if you have no values in 2010.
Is there some setting where I can hide them altogether?
If I have sales in 2007, 2009, and 2010; but not 2008 can the slicer list omit 2008 entirely or must it always be shown as greyed out.
I'm not asking for a SQL selection solution, but rather an Excel setting.
Actually, yes you can! If the item on the slicer is grayed out because there is no data, you can do the following:
Right click anywhere on the slicer and select "Slicer Settings" from the drop down.
On the bottom right select the box that says "Hide Items with no Data".
Click "OK"
Found a way of mimicing this in 2010 - see this article on formatting Slicers

Create a custom format, and just set the items with no data to white fill & White text, and they dissapear! You should also set the "hover over" for items with no data to the same, otherwise they will appear if the user hovers ofer the item. Simples. Thanks to Datapig!
This feature does not exist. But an alternative does exist. Place the slicer anywhere in another sheet and hide that sheet and it will still work.
The "Hide items with no data" option is only in Excel 2013, it is not available in 2010
You cannot do this in Excel; the feature doesn't exist. You may find that page filters will suit the task better.

In Excel the "include new items in manual filter" is missing:
From what I can read it is supposed to look like this:
Where do I find the option to ad include new values when I have a filter applied to my pivot table?
New solution:
I just discovered if you right click in the green area on the following screenshot "Field Settings" will open this menu will contain the option:
But if you right click the red area of the pivot table "Field Value Settings" will open instead, this menu will not contain the option.
I keep my old answer here it is probably wrong, but I have no way of testing this, so I will leave it up until disproven:
I checked my colleague's computer and he have the button to "include new items in manual filter" in his field settings.
I know the difference between our computers is that I have 64 bit Excel and he has 32 bit Excel.
I don't know if that explain reason I don't have the button, but that could be part of the reason.
I hope this can be of value to someone in the future.

Click the PivotTable report.
The PivotTable Tools appear.
Excel 2016 and Excel 2013: On the Analyze tab, in the PivotTable group, click the arrow next to Options, and then click Options.

Click the Layout & Format tab, and then do one or more of the following:
Change error display Select the For error values show check box under Format. In the box, type the value that you want to display instead of errors. To display errors as blank cells, delete any characters in the box.
Change empty cell display Select the For empty cells show check box. In the box, type the value that you want to display in empty cells. To display blank cells, delete any characters in the box. To display zeros, clear the check box.

I'm using Excel 2013 64-bit with PowerPivot, and am having a couple of issues with KPIs (and I'm not alone).
I'm adding a KPI:
As you can see, I've chosen a non-default icon set. Here's what you then see initially:
OK, I know the solution to this (and am sharing it here just in case it helps anyone else) - just untick the Status column, then re-tick it to redisplay it. This seems to solve the problem (which didn't happen in PowerPivot for Excel 2010).
However, I then get this:
Definitely not the icons I asked for. It seems that whatever icon set you choose, you always get the default ones. Can anyone shed any light on this?
I'm experiencing the same problem. Seems to be a bug.
Steps for workaround:
Format a cell correctly on a separate worksheet using conditional formatting, select the cell.
Double click Format Painter under "Home Tab"
Format one of the status cells in the column.
Go to Conditional Formatting -> Manage rules -> Edit rule and choose: All cells showing "Your column Status" values.
I have Lotus Notes Client and some Views created already. How can I see the 'Selection Creterion' for views, and I need to change 'Selection Creterion' also.
Thanks in advance.
Open view in Designer and click beneath the column headers. "View Selection" should then be visible. There you can choose between "Simple Search" and "Formula" and enter/change your selections.
You can use the 'Design Synopis' tool to produce a report of the design settings of most design elements, including view selection formulas.
Select the application/database, then, from the main menu, goto: File, Application, Design Synopsis and select 'Define contact, Views' and select which features you want. Choose 'selection formuals' and produce the report.
If you want to change selection formulas, either use the Domino Designer (as mentioned elewhere here) or create an agent that change the selection formula for you. Check the Desinger Help for details of how to do this programmatically.
I have embedded few documents in my excel sheet, into some specific cells. When I apply some filter, or re-size the size of any other row in the spreadsheet, these embedded documents tend to move from its cell.
It is pretty annoying to re-arrange them. Is there any way to make these documents stick in specific cells and to make sure they stay their no matter any kind of formatting that is done?
Select the documents (you can use the "Select Objects" functionality in the Home tabs "Find&Select" dropdown if you have a lot:
)
Go to the "Format Object..." dialog (right mouse click on any document - or Ctrl-1)
In the "Properties" tab, select "Move and size with cells":
Done!
