a friend made up an Excel sheet ( 2007) with a few Macros on it--- when I run it on my puter (also with 2007), it says " found unreadable content etc - do you trust the sender etc--yes
then when it opens, a box comes up that Excel has " repaired" the file - ie removed some/all the Macros-- this time I managed to read the removed parts as under--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<recoveryLog xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main"><logFileName>error033240_01.xml
</logFileName><summary>Errors were detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\k\My Documents\Ephem1980-2008DecGeo1.xlsm'
</summary><removedParts summary="Following is a list of removed parts:"><removedPart>Removed Part: /xl/vbaProject.bin part.
(Visual Basic for Applications (VBA))</removedPart></removedParts></recoveryLog>

the original sheet works fine on other puters, for some reason, not mine

are there any suggestions as to how I may get the sheet running properly please

thanks Keith
 
I am facing similar issue, only difference is all my .xlsm files are "Read Only" files. I used to import data on a "Read Only" .xlsm template and then save the file with today's data, keeping the template intact. For some reason all my .xlsm files are throwing - "Removed Part: /xl/vbaProject.bin part. (Visual Basic for Applications (<acronym title="visual basic for applications" style="border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); cursor: help; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">VBA</acronym>))". VBA is installed and all settings are enabled on Trust Center.

Also when I remove the "Read Only" option, and import data macro works fine.

Any thought!

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
