HPQC ALM12 - Results not being filtered on excel sheet on new version of quality center - vba

I have an excel sheet that was working flawlessly with hp quality center 11. When I was moved to HP QC12 , it stopped bringing the results from the filters (tree or grid) and instead it brings to my excel sheet all the requirements list for all projects.

This is the file in question that is working perfectly for alm11 and brings ALL reqs from all results on alm12. I went through the code but was not able to find solution for this issue, nor pin why is not filtering the requirements by filter.

The issue was ALM12 was not registered correctly. I executed the registration of tools with IE being ran as administrator as explained here

Thanks to all

Buttons and Drop Downs duplicating in IE11 Word Add-in

I have a Word 2016 Add-in (Office.js) built with Bootstrap 3 and jquery.
Windows 7 users are reporting (and I've seen) duplication and even triplication of buttons and dropdown menus when they return to Word 2016 after letting it sit for 45 minutes or so.
If you just refresh the page you get a correct, single version of these buttons and dropdowns.
Somehow IE11 is deciding on its own to update the page and, in doing so, creating duplicates.
The buttons and dropdowns all work. Refresh returns the page to the correct state.
Anyone have any direction to go or ideas on this?
Thank you for the detailed response & interest - apologies for the long delay in responding.
I've only seen this with one user, in the UK, running Windows 7 and Word 2016. I screenshared with him and saw the triplication in person...unfortunately didn't think to take screenshots of his experience. His IE11 install didn't have the "Install new versions automatically" checkbox that I have (Windows 10).
(Side note: the permutations of Word 2016 and IE11 are ending up being quite a handful - I have many institutional users and they don't control updates to one or both...hard to even figure out what they're using).
He had three versions of every Favorite button and three versions of each Group Drop Down.
A simple refresh of the page returned things to normal.
The buttons all worked while the dropdowns had all 3 sets of choices in the first iteration of the dropdown; the second and third iteration of a dropdown was empty.
He described the situation as resulting after he "lets Word sit without using it or my solution for 40+ minutes." He has used my solution extensively and hasn't reported seeing it during use.
The screenshot below shows things as they are normally.
In his situation, that first button (for example) named 'Link' would repeat after the list of buttons along with every single other blue Favorite button.
The Dropdowns (Argument etc.) would be similarly duplicated or triplicated (he hasn't seen 4 yet).
My code is pretty simple jquery/javascript. When you load the page or refresh it pulls content and builts these buttons and dropdowns dynamically. I don't understand a situation where the browser somehow reloads or duplicates content...

Office 2016 VBA wrong Toolbox icons size in windows 10

Not sure it this is the right place or how to describe my problem. I have a brand new windows 10 and installed Office 2016. Now when I want to develop something in VBA in Excel or Word and I add a UserForm the icons in toolbox which represent the controls to use on the form are too small. The strange thing is, when I first added a form, the toolbox windows was hardly visible (first image). Does anyone know what the problem is? Or better how to solve it.
I had the same issue with SQL Management Studio. Same odd behaviour. Luckely today I stumbled upon a solution which works perfectly for SMSS. So I guess I can try it voor VBA as well.
SMSS solution
This is a nice workaround, but it is not needed anymore, because MS has an updated version available for SMSS which you can find here
Anyway, I know now what the issue is, so I can try this workaround for other applications too.

Issues when upgrading from Excel 2010 to 2013

I've been working on a dashboard for the past several months in Excel 2010 and was nearing completion when we were upgraded to Excel 2013. I have experienced one issue that I'm completely stumped on...
I built a simple UI for the dashboard utilizing the first several rows of each sheet. Essentially, each sub-menu is hidden in a different row and only the appropriate rows are visible at any time. Is also allows the user to toggle on/off the various menus in/out of view without using a userform.
Prior to upgrading to 2013, it was very snappy and responsive, taking around 0.05 seconds each time a change was made in the UI. However, after migrating to Excel 2013 the UI is very sluggish. At first I thought it was a screenupdating issue because the screen was updating in bits and pieces - the labels, hidden rows, background color, etc would come in chunks, instead of all at once. I've ruled that out as a possibility.
I also tried disabling all of the annoying new animations that are baked into 2013. I tried all of the different methods I saw out there online - disabling the hardware graphics acceleration, turning off unnecessary animations in the ease of access center, etc. That too seems to have no effect.
After a full day of troubleshooting, I've noticed a sheet with just the UI and nothing else runs just as snappy as before. It's only when there are objects on the worksheet that things go wrong. From what I can tell, shapes and text boxes seem to have no effect on performance. Labels, both form control and Active X, seem to be the culprit.
I've noticed that the little bits of code I have for the UI continue to run at the same speed, but the screen will continue to change even after the procedure has run. This also totally perplexes me. I have tried changing the property from Move and Size with Cell to Free Floating and neither seems to make any difference. I've also tried changing things like Print Object, Locked, etc.
I'm totally stumped as to how to resolve this issue. It's definitely something endemic to 2013 as the exact same file runs without issue on 2010. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Here is a link to a sample file highlighting the issue. Both work fine when tested on 2010.

Granted this is a stretch, but a little bit of research tells me that Excel 2013 has suffered a number of problems with ActiveX controls. There were several patches Microsoft has released, so I recommend you install them first and make sure your copy of Excel 2013 is completely up to date.

If this does not fix the problem, please let me know and I will remove this answer.
All, thanks for your help. I finally solved the issue I was having. I isolated the problem to Form Controls or ActiveX controls being visible at the time the code is run. I'm not sure why but the presence of either creates an issue. However, hiding all shapes prior to running the code and then unhiding them after resolves the issue. I did notice, however, this solution only works if the code does NOT turn screenupdating off prior to execution. I will post an updated file later when I have access to dropbox.

"Action - Go to report" in VS2008 reportviewer not working

I have an SSRS report which drills through to sub reports via actions. The report functions correctly in the VS environment, and correct once deployed to the server and viewed through a browser.
The report however is also viewed inside our in-house app via a Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer - and while it renders on screen correctly, clicking the element that would normally take me to a sub-report no longer functions.
I have had a look around and there seemed to be an issue around VS2010 SP1 where this stopped working, however I'm currently stuck with VS2008. This seems to be the majority of results I'm getting.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.
OK have found issue.
The text box in question had three place holders. A reference No, A date and an age. I wanted to trigger the sub report if someone clicked on the reference no. While this worked fine in VS and IE, it failed to work in the Microsoft Report Viewer control.
I have now set the action against the containing text box, rather than against a single placeholder/expression within that box. While this has solved the immediate issue that I have, it would not work if you wanted multiple actions from different placeholders in a single text box.
But for now, I'm all good, and all solved.

Calcuatled Area missing from PowerPivot after upgrade

I've been using PowerPivot 32-Bit version with my Excel 2010 for months with no issues.
Today I installed MS Office 2010 64-Bit so I installed PP 64-Bit as well. My problem, though, is the Calculations Area at the bottom is completely missing (the place where you enter measures). For good measure, the Data View is gone too.
Any thoughts on what I could do to make the Calculations Area visible again?
TIA,
Kevin
You can enable the calculation area in the home tab from MSDN help:
You must be in Data View. On the Home tab of the PowerPivot window, click Calculation Area in the View area. The Calculation Area appears below the table’s columns, and the Calculation Area button is highlighted and active.
see this help topic:

Also see the attached picture below:
What does it mean that you say there is now Data View? What do you see when you open the Power Pivot window?
