.xla files

i am very confused with .xla files.

i have two directories - each one has a "talisman.xla" file which contains subroutines for execution of various programs. but each one is different.

i presumed that when i open up a spreadsheet in directory 1, it will use the .xla file in directory 1.
and then wehn i open up a spreadsheet in directory 2, it will use the .xla file in directory 2.

but this doesnt seem to be the case.

how do .xla files work and why is my directory 1 spreadsheet using the .xla file in directory 2?

please can anyone help?

RE: .xla files

Hi Samantha

A .xla file is an Add-In file, Which allows the code to be run on whichever computer its loaded on.

1. To install an Add-In in Excel :

2. Select Tools from the menu and Click Add-Ins

3. Add the relevant Add-In

After doing the above the Add-In is always installed and available.

It sounds like in your case only the Directory 2 .xla file has been loaded.

You should also load the one from Directory 1 since according to you it has different subroutines.

NB You need to be careful with the .xla files and subroutine names.

If both xla files and subroutine names are dupplicated you may cause errors to occur as the computer won't know which one to run.


Hope this has helped

Carlos

 

 

Excel tip:

Create your own custom list on Excel 2010!

If you know how to use the auto-fill option on Excel then why not create your own customs lists?

The auto fill feature saves you time by allowing you to enter one of the list entries into a cell and then use your mouse to automatically drag the rest of the list into the cells below, above or to either side of the initial cell. When using your mouse to perform this task you will see a thin black cross appear at the bottom right hand side of the cell. Click, hold and drag to make the list appear.

Default lists include weekdays and months. To create your own list in Excel 2010 do the following;

>File
>Options
>Advanced
>Scroll right to the bottom of the page and you will see a buttom "edit custom lists", click this button
>enter your list in the list entries
>click add

Now try it out. Good luck.
