Calcuatled Area missing from PowerPivot after upgrade - powerpivot

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?

Visual Studio 2022 version 17.1.0 Update - Floating Windows no longer merge together to form a tabbed layout

This is doing my nut in!
Simply updating VS 2022 to ver. 17.1.0 has broken the ability to drag the header of a floating window towards the header of another window and allow them to merge into one single floating window with a tabbed view layout.
This has ruined my productivity in being able to have multiple files open between a multi monitor layout. Is anyone aware of a option/setting that might have been disabled from the update?
The screenshot below shows where I would usually drag one floating window towards another an if i left go of the mouse in the right place, the two windows would usually snap tpgather into one window with multiple tabs:
Edit: Futher observations conclude the latest VS 17.1.0 have changed the way we can group floating windows together.
By default, my tabs are configured to display along the top, however the only way i can group together the windows is if i change the tab location from the TOP to the Side, but this changes the tab layout in the main IDE as well as floating windows, so it screws eveything up.
Merging the windows together:
Incidentally if I revert back to displaying the Tabs at the TOP, then we have the affect i wanted BUT I stil cannot merge any further windows in that mode:
Its just occured to me that the you can snap together the floating windows into a tabbed view by dragging one window with the mouse over the top of another window and then you see the following icon appear:
If you then drag the window and move your mouse cursor over the center point of this icon set then it will in fact merge the two windows together into a tabbed view.
Well this wanst the most intelligent question I'd ever asked! I just hadnt done it this way before and the previous way in doing this had stopped working foo me since upgrading VS22 to latest 17.1.0 from 17.0.1

Office 365 VBA editor Find window (CTRL+F) always jumps to the dividing line between dual monitors

I recently started a new job and was given a brand-new system with dual displays and the current version of Microsoft Office 365. I've discovered a display issue in the Office VBA editor which affects Word, Excel, and Access.
If the VBA editor is on the right-hand display, and the Find window is opened (CTRL+F), it snaps to the dividing line between the two monitors. The location of the main app window doesn't matter; the snapping occurs regardless of the main app window location. And the snapping cannot be disabled. See screenshots below.
Is there any way to resolve this..?
Furthermore, if the Find window is re-positioned, it snaps back again the next time the Find Next button is pressed. Simply put, any time the VBA editor window is on the second display, the Find window won't stay where the user positions it. It's always automatically re-positioned...and badly.
The hardware is a new Dell Latitude 7290, with WD19 port replicator and dual P2419H LCD displays.

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.

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

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.
link
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

How to resolve Windows Forms designer issue - controls move on debug?

Is there a reason / fix for this weird designer issue (at least, I think it's related to the designer), whereby the controls on the form do not appear as they do in the design window when I debug the application..!
Please see the following two screenshots to demonstrate the problem (note: I have blacked out some of the content of the form, this is not the problem):
Picture 1: Showing how the form appears in the designer view
Picture 2: Showing how the form appears in debug mode
You can clearly see that some of the buttons have moved position on the form.
Note: At first glance, this may appear like a duplicate of: Windows Forms Designer destroys form layout. However, I have not installed any additional tools or components. This is simply a standard "vanilla" build of Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 7 32-bit.
I've also come across this question: UI Controls Overlapping & Fonts Issue in Windows Forms Application. However, I am not using "large fonts", nor am I using any non-standard fonts on my controls (all label and button text is left as default). Still, I can see how this would affect the control positions and will do some more checks in this area.
There's nothing happening within the form's Load method.
I'm also using TFS 2012.
What could be causing this? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
EDIT: I've removed the font property for each label and button control, allowing the system to set the default value. Still no change. Interestingly, if I open the form in design mode, then save it, then close it, then open it again, the buttons have moved... If I do this a few times, the buttons migrate until they're off the form.
OK, I've found the answer, after a bit more fiddling. It seems to be related to the Anchor property on the controls. I made a bunch of changes, testing between each change to see if there was any difference. When I selected all the controls and set the Anchor property to Top, Left, this solved the issue.
I hope this helps someone else at some point!
