excel array error - shows for some users not others

may be a simple question, but i'm baffled and cannot find answers anywhere! I have an excel workbook that i have created that has multiple tables, charts and pivot tables.
i have one column which grabs content from another table (via formula:=Table1[Test Results]), works fine on my computer. but when another user opens it on their computer it is showing as an array formula with curly brackets {=Table1[Test Results]} and isn't pulling correctly which in turn is affecting the pivot tables attached to the column.
upon research, their version of excel is the same as mine. and this affects multiple columns. also, when i use the "find & select > go to special > current array" function on my computer, a popup saying "no cells were found" appears.
please help, thank you

SSAS Tabular table always shows in Excel

In my SSAS tabular model I have a calendar dimension, and a wave dimension for half-year data only. The data flows to these tables as such:
Fact Table ---> Wave Dim <---> Calendar
No matter what I do I cannot hide the wave table from Excel users. The table shows hidden in Visual Studio, but in Excel it shows the table with no fields in it. I have tried deleting the table and reloading it with no avail. My assumption is that it has to do with the way it's connected to the Calendar dimension, but I can't seem to find anything on my issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
This is a tough one to answer without viewing your model.bim file. Based on your information I have two guesses on what could be the issue, although this may very well not be it:
1) It sounds like you've marked all fields in the Wave table as hidden, but not the Wave table itself. Could this be the reason?
2) Perhaps you are using perspectives, and only hid the Wave table in a perspective rather than in the Model (default perspective)?
The relationships in your model should have no impact on whether a table is displayed in client tools or not.
Feel free to upload your model.bim file if the above does not help.

Function derived column missing from export

I have an access query that uses a function to fill a column in a query. The data shows up when viewing the query in access. However, when exporting the data the column is omitted. How can I get the complete row to export?
Details:
In SQL view the select AS is used. In design view the function is shown in the Field: row. There is no table: row dropdown option to correspond to the function(s). The show option is checked. Only the two tables in the join show in the dropdown.
Datasheet view shows data as expected.
My experience is primarily with MSSQL, my access knowledge is limited so I thank you for your patience in advance.
After a reboot the export worked as expected.
I post this for any lurkers with the same issue. I have no idea why it was not working, but, it is working fine now.

Importing CSV to database (duplicate entries)

My job requires that I look up information on a long spreadsheet that's updated and sent to me once or twice a week. Sometimes the newest spreadsheet leaves off information that was in the last spreadsheet causing me to have to look through several different spreadsheets to find the info I need. I recently discovered that I could convert the spreadsheet to a CSV file and then upload it to a database table. With a few lines of script all I have to do is type in what I'm looking for and Voila! Now I just got the newest spreadsheet and I'm wondering if I can just Import it on top of the old one. There is a unique number for each row that I have set to primary in the database. If I try to import it on top of the current info will it just skip the rows where the primary would be duplicated or would it just mess up my database?
Thought I'd ask the experts before I tried it. Thanks for your input!
Details:
the spreadsheet consists of clients of ours. Each row contains the client's name, a unique id number, their address and contact info. I can set the row containing the unique ID to primary, then upload it. My concern is that there is nothing to signify a new row in a csv file (i think). when I upload it it it gives me the option to skip duplicates but will it skip the entire row or just that cell causing my data to be placed in the wrong rows.. It's apache server IDK what versions of mysql. I'm using 000webhost for this.
Higgs,
This issue in database/ETL terminology is called deduplication strategy.
There is not a template answer for this, but I suggest these helpful readings:
Academic paper - Joint Deduplication of Multiple Record Types
in Relational Data
Deduplication article
Some open source tools:
Duke tool
Data cleaner
there's a little checkbox when you click on import near the bottom that says 'ignore duplicates' or something like that. simpler than i thought.

Manual Entered Data On Excel Ms Query Is Misaligned After Refresh

I have done an MS SQL Query in excel.
I have added extra colums in the excel sheet which I want to enter manual
data in.
When I refresh the data, these manually inputted columns become misaligned
to the imported data they refer to.
Is there any around this happening.
I have tried to link the imported data sheet to a manual data sheet via
vlookup but this isn't working as there are no unique fields to link together.
Please help!
Thanks
Excel version is 2010.
MS SQL version is 2005.
There is no unique data.
Because excel firstly looks like this.
when we entered a new order in to database Excel looks like this
Try this: in the External Data Range Properties, select "Insert entire rows for new data".
Not sure, but worth a try. And keep us updated of the result !
edit: And make sure you provide a consistent sort order.
There is no relationship to the spreadsheets external data and the columns you are entering. When refreshing typically the data is cleared and updated though there are other options in the external data refresh menu you could play with. You could play around with the External data options in the menu to see if changing the settings on what happens with the new data would help.
If you want your manually entered data to link to the data in the embedded dataset, you have to establish the lookup with a vlookup or some formula to find the rows info and show it.
Basically you are thinking the SQL data on the spreadsheet is static, but it isn't unless you never refresh it or disconnect it from the database
note that Marcel Beug has given a full solution to this problem in a more recent post in this forum # Inserting text manually in a custom column and should be visible on refresh of the report
he has even taken the time to record an example in a video # https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duNYHfvP_8U&feature=youtu.be
