Spreadsheet Calculator 2013 Error

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 10:20:13 GMT

Greetings! I have a problem with Spreadsheet Calculator 2013: I can't create a new document by clicking on corresponding icon (just nothing happens), this concerns all icons except "Insert Formula", "Edit Formula" and "Preferences". However, all library modules are working. Also it keeps showing me errors when i'm trying to insert formula (see attachment). I use Excel 2010 32-bit, in Trust-Center settings all macros are enabled. Thanks in advance.

When You start Spreadsheet calculator there is no problem but when You exit Spreadsheet calculator in the Task Manager still working excel.exe and esopstart.exe. See also this at: http://www.rsa4all.com/2012/12/spreadsheet-calculator.html

Thanks to Romanich, Thanks to You.

Hi ! I'm currently using Spreadsheet Calculator 2013 on windows 8 + Ms excel 2010 (not sure about the 64 or 32 bits version yet)
Do you know if I must run a 32 bits version so it can work ?
Right now, when I use the spreadsheet calculator menu from Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis 2013, Excel opens, but there is just an excel spreadsheet that opens, usually I used to have a box offering several options. Thks in advance for the help !

Hi! As far as I know Spreadsheet calculator always worked only with 32 bit version of Excel. You can also try "new incarnation" of spreadsheet calculator called "Project Octopus".

Hi, I checked the version and it is a 32 bits version.
have you already encountered this kind of problem ? I just open a new building concept, then directly clic on add ons (I am translating a french menu into English, not sure this is the exact name) and select "spreadsheet calculator". Then excel 2010 32 bits version opens, but there is no popup screen with options allowing me to choose if it is concrete or wood materials. This is what I used to have before uninstalling/reinstalling on a new pc.
Help would be much appreciated on this. Thanks !

Thanks for the answer, I'll try this. do you think the behavior is different than before because of the version of Microsoft Office and/or Windows ?
It used to work on windows 7 + office 2007 32 bits before, and the layout of the excel spreadsheet was not like that at all

Another question, do I just need to install Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis 2013 to get the spreadsheet calcultor working, or is there anything else that need to be installed to get it working ? It seems like everything is already installed correctly (I have data in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2013\RESC\ folder) but I am not 100% sure. If something else need to be installed, where can I find it ? In my subscription folder I can only find an install of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2013.
Thanks !

Hi, I've been searching and searching again, and I think I found out why I have this problem, the libraries are NOT installed on my machine, that's why I don't have the message box with several options.
(http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Robot-Structural-Analysis/Robot-Extensions-Spreadsheet-Calculator2012/td-p/3080760/page/3)

The thing is I paid for Robot Structural Analysis 2013 and I should have Spreadsheet Calculator 2013 in the subscription center, as I'm using it since 2010 ! I don't understand why I have so much problems when uninstalling/reinstalling Robot Structural Analysis 2013 + Spreadsheet calculator.

I contacted the customer support, but I can tell I am NOT happy about this.

Hi G2-Info,

What you had read the VillageBim information, he talk about a problem concerning to create a new user sheet. It will don't solve your problem because your problem, it is to try to see the sheets library... it a other subjet !

I think to solve your problem : you need to real this article http://villagebim.typepad.com/villagebim/2012/05/design-spreadsheets-pour-autodesk-robot-structural-analysis-2013-disponible-sur-le-site-de-la-souscription.html and apply instructions, but to apply these instructions you need to be under active subscription !

Best regards

Artur, Rafal,

I need straight answer because our clients asks us about Robot Spreadsheet calculator:

On which versions of MS excel will Spreadsheet calculator work?

I am not sure it will work on all versions, I know there are some problems with x64 x32 I don't know.

Maybe with Excel 2013 version?

Hotfix helps or not? I have 32bit version so I can't test it myself.

I saw a lot of posts about this but straight answer is nowhere to be found. If I am wrong, I'm sorry in advance.

Regards,
