Macro enabled workbook not working/running macros

I have a file downloaded from the Dept for Education which is macro enabled. In the worksheets there are selection boxes which change the data displayed in the table depending on the selection.

I have enabled content, but the selection list is not working on my PC (works on a colleague's) - the list is static, cannot click into it at all. What could be wrong with my settings to cause this?
Thanks

RE: macro enabled workbook not working/running macros

Hello Areti,

Thank you for your question. The only thing I can think of is that there might be links in the code to files or directories on another computer. It is hard to tell without seeing the code.

Are you able to run other Excel macros on your machine?

Kind regards

Hi Marius
Thanks for replying. Issue has been resolved now. It appears the problem was with my network profile - the Excel part of it was 2GB and corrupt in some way. Not sure why it why the problem was just this file as I had no problems writing or reading other macros...
regards

Excel tip:

Stop Formula Returning A "#DIV/0" Error

If a formula returns a #DIV/0 error message there is a way to avoid such results.

For example the formula =A1/B1 will return a #DIV/0 if B1 is empty or a zero.

If you protect your formulas with the ISERROR function, the formula will then look like this:

=IF(ISERROR(A1/B1),0,A1/B1)

In plain English: should the result of A1 divided by B1 be an error change the result to 0 else show the result of A1/B1.
