Step 2: To highlight the column, execute the “Select Entire Column” shortcut. This shortcut can be found on the space bar. Like all Excel Skin shortcuts, the “Select Entire Column” shortcut is color-coded and corresponds to the modifier key, or keys, that match the color-coded text. The “Select Entire Column” text is yellow. I'm using Excel 2007 and often use filters to find inconsistent data (mis-spellings, etc.) and then clean up the data using the fill handle to fill in correctly formatted values. I'm finding that, with a simple filter on, dragging over cells hidden by the filter changes the values in the hidden cells too.

Change the Ribbon in Mac Excel 2016 Note: Update Mac Office 2016 first and be sure it is 15.17 or higher, in the 15.17 update Ribbon customization via Ribbon XML is enabled by default for all customers. Note: If you are a Excel for Windows user start here: Things we must do and understand before we start Important: The easiest way to insert RibbonX in a Excel file is to do it on a Windows machine. I suggest that if you want to develop custom Ribbons you develop in Windows and then test it on the Mac. Note:The information below assume you develop on a Windows machine If you want to insert RibbonX into a Excel workbook to change the Ribbon, then I suggest you download and install the free Custom UI Editor to make this a lot easier: Note: If the link is broken you can also the Custom UI Editor from my site. The Custum UI Editor gives you an option to insert a customUI.xml file in your Excel workbook that loads when you open the file in Excel 2007-2016 and/or a customUI14.xml file that only loads when you open the Excel workbook in Excel 2010-2016. What, files that are inside a Excel file? Excel 2007-2016 files are really zip files so if you change the extension to zip and open the file in your zip program you see that there are a few folders and a file inside the zip.

Thanks to the Custom UI Editor we not have to do all this to add or edit the customUI.xml or CustomUI14.xml file inside your Excel file. Note: You see that Excel 2010-2016 use the same file named customUI14.xml When you not work with things that are added in Excel 2010-2016 (like Backstage View for example in Excel for windows), then you can only use the Office 2007 Custom UI Part option to add your RibbonX, it will load the RibbonX from this file when you open the Excel file in Excel 2007-2016. But if you open the Excel file in Excel 2010-2016 and there is also a customUI14.xml file it will load only this file. Note: It is not possible to insert RibbonX into Excel 97-2003(xls) files. Open the Custom UI Editor You see that there are 5 menu buttons on the toolbar menu in the UI editor. Open: Open the Excel file that you want to edit (change the Ribbon for this file) Save: Save the RibbonX in the file that you have open in the UI editor (not possible to save when the file is open in Excel) Insert Icons: Insert your own icons in the file (icons will be saved in the file) Validate: Validate your RibbonX so you are sure that there are no typos Generate Callbacks: This will create macros(callbacks) for each onAction you have in the RibbonX. Select all callbacks and copy them in a normal module in your workbook.

When you open a Excel file in the Custom UI Editor you can right click on the file name and choose: Office 2007 Custom UI Part Or use Office 2010 Custom UI Part Or you can use the Insert menu to choose one of the two options. It creates the customUI14.xml file if you choose Office 2010 Custom UI Part and the customUI.xml file if you choose Office 2007 Custom UI Part. After you choose one option or both, you can enter or paste your RibbonX in the right window. Note: the button caption ' Office 2010 Custom UI Part' is no longer correct since Office 2013 has been released.
