Enabling custom views

Custom views is disabled and I don't know why, what causes this please?

RE: Enabling custom views

Hi Liz

Thank you for your question. You might want to check to see if there is an Excel list in your workbook. If there is it will disable Custom views for the whole workbook.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: Enabling custom views

There is a list. How do I get rid of it please?

RE: Enabling custom views

Hi Liz

To remove the list click in the list and convert it to a named range by going to Data > List > Convert to named range. At the prompt choose Yes to convert to a normal range. You should then find Custom Views is enabled.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: Enabling custom views

Hi Liz,

Thank you for your question.

After doing some testing and research, if you use the Create List command from the Data menu on existing data, it disables the Custom Views for all the worksheets in the workbook.

If this is the case you can convert the list back to a range by navigating to Data, then List and Convert to range. This should enable the Custom views.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon


 

Excel tip:

Turn off AutoComplete in Excel

You may have noticed when typing into your spreadsheets that if you start to enter labels that begin with the same letters as a label that has been previously entered in the same spreadsheet, Excel will try and automatically complete the text for you. This feature is called AutoComplete.

If you find this feature more annoying than useful, you can turn it off by:

1. Going to Tools - Options.

2. Select the Edit tab.

3. Remove the tick from next to the "Enable AutoComplete for cell values" option.

4. Click OK.
