Excel hiccups? Don’t let your spreadsheets throw a tantrum!

The good news is, you’re not alone in this spreadsheet saga! In the past few weeks, we’ve helped several clients conquer these gremlins and restore their workbooks to their former glory.

The Symptoms:
- Macros, Where’s the magic gone? Excel’s hidden power, the macros, have vanished without a trace! You will see your modules, userforms and sheets in the VBA project explorer but double-clicking them will not open up the code.
- Catastrophic Failure, the Doom-Prophet: This ominous error message is enough to send chills down any spreadsheet enthusiast’s spine (especially since it appears as soon as you try to save your work!). But before you start composing your digital eulogy, remember, it’s often just a dramatic cry for help, not a guaranteed apocalypse.
- Corrupt Workbook, the Sneaky Saboteur: “This workbook is corrupt and cannot be opened”… This villain lurks in the shadows, silently corrupting your files and leaving you with unusable messes (errors appear randomly even when you try to enter data into a cell). Think of it as the digital equivalent of a spilled coffee on your keyboard, only less forgiving.
